Lu Ning nestled in his arms, looking dazed and confused.

Ji Chiqian looked down and could only see her smooth forehead. Her wet hair fell between the two of them, and the water stains spread, making her clothes a little transparent.

He swallowed slightly and released the person: "The clothes are new and unworn, but you can make do with these shoes for the day."

Lu Ning saw the clothes he had placed in the entryway and blushed, saying, "Thank you."

Seeing her unguarded look, Ji Chiqian couldn't help but nag, "Don't open the door to her so casually at night in the future."

"Because I knew it would be you knocking on the door."

Her gaze was firm and calm.

Ji Chiqian met her gaze, looked away for a moment, and awkwardly said, "Remember to lock the door."

Lu Ning stood at the doorway, a slight smile playing on her lips. Looking back at the unfamiliar room, she was about to start a new life.

While she was lying in bed charging her phone, she noticed dozens of missed calls, almost all from her second brother.

There was another call from Sixth Brother, but it only rang three times before hanging up.

She opened WeChat and saw a message from her second brother: "[Ningning, where are you? Stop being stubborn, okay? Come back, and I'll get your sixth brother to apologize to you!]"

[Ningning, you should know that you can't hide for long in City A. If Big Brother finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable.]

[Ningning, we're family! Can't we forgive even the slightest minor friction or conflict?]

When Lu Ning saw these words, her eyes turned cold.

I can't forgive even a little bit.

I went to school the next day.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian took a taxi to school together. She glanced back at him and said, "I'll go to the classroom first."

Ji Chiqian watched her walk safely into the school before turning his gaze away.

A luxury car pulled up beside them, and Gu Zifeng stuck his head out: "The Lu family was frantically looking for her last night, but unfortunately they ran into us. Otherwise, Lu Ning wouldn't have been able to hide or escape at all."

The Lu family members are not to be trifled with either.

Ji Chiqian pursed his thin lips, seemingly deep in thought.

Lu Ning went straight to the classroom.

But as soon as she reached the classroom door, someone started screaming: "Lu Ning is here! She's the goddess who unleashed a twelve-hit combo in yesterday's competition!"

"Oh my god, what is her relationship with the legendary King? I'm so curious!"

"Idol, can you take a picture with us?"

Lu Ning hadn't expected so many people, and she nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Okay."

A large crowd quickly gathered around, some even asking for her autograph.

The classroom entrance was bustling with people, three or four layers deep.

Qin Xiang then walked outside the classroom and saw Lu Ning being fawned over by everyone, and immediately felt envious.

They clearly have over 100,000 followers online, much more famous than Lu Ning, these ignorant trash!

Qin Xiang couldn't stand it and walked out.

Qin Xiang feigned concern and said, "Sister Ningning, you didn't come back all night. Where did you go? Second Brother was worried sick. Even if you're angry, you shouldn't joke around with your own safety."

Lu Ning knew that the innocent-looking woman would definitely cause trouble.

Follower #1 immediately chimed in: "Xiangxiang, Lu Ning is such an ingrate. Just because she won the competition yesterday, she thinks she has the right to be arrogant, which is why she threw a tantrum and ran away from home."

Sidekick #2 rolled his eyes: "I think Lu Ning is dating the school doctor and they're living together. She's so young and she already knows how to seduce men."

Lu Ning lifted her eyelids: "No wonder everyone always says you two have foul mouths, I've seen it for myself today."

Qin Xiang noticed something out of the corner of her eye and immediately said, "Sister Ningning, you have no idea how envious I am that you have family who care about you so much, yet you still act so willful and throw a tantrum. It's really not right of you."

"Do we know each other that well? Stop pretending. Nobody's watching your act here. Aren't you tired?"

"Lu Ning, how can you talk like that? Xiangxiang was worried about you all night. You were clearly in the wrong, so why can't others say anything?"

Sixth Brother Lu Liu also came over, looking at Lu Ning with a complicated expression.

He didn't have to bring Qin Xiang to school today, but for some inexplicable reason, he still came.

After all, he knew Lu Ning would definitely come to school today.

He didn't sleep a wink last night.

He was actually forcibly quarantined by her, what kind of nonsense is this?

Lu Ning wasn't surprised to see Lu Liu appear: "Doesn't Qin Xiang often stay out all night with you guys?"

Qin Xiang's eyes welled up with tears of grievance: "Sister Ningning, how could you say that?"

"Lu Ning, what nonsense are you spouting? Xiangxiang is my sister! Apologize to her right now!"

Lu Ning's expression was cold: "She started talking nonsense first. I learned all of this from her."

Qin Xiang's voice was trembling with tears: "I...I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

Lu Liu's previously restrained temper instantly flared up again: "Lu Ning, look at the state you've become! Weren't you with that school doctor last night? That's a fact!"

Lu Ning looked at him quietly, her eyes calm and undisturbed.

After Lu Liu finished speaking, he immediately regretted it, but with so many people watching, he didn't explain.

Lu Ning found it laughable: "That has nothing to do with you."

She turned and walked towards the classroom.

"Stop right there. What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? You're getting more and more arrogant now. You just won a revival match, look at you acting all high and mighty."

Lu Ning sneered and didn't even turn her head.

Lu Ning sat in her seat, completely ignoring the people outside.

Looking at Lu Ning's aloof demeanor, Lu Liu felt a fire burning in his heart.

But he didn't dare to do anything too outrageous, since he was still in quarantine and shouldn't have been at school in the first place.

Seeing this, Qin Xiang deliberately said, "Sixth Brother, it's all my fault for asking Sister Ningning too many questions and upsetting her. But I was also worried that she might do something foolish in a fit of pique."

"I know you're doing this for her own good, but she doesn't appreciate it."

Lu Liu was somewhat annoyed: "Lu Ning's temper is really bad now. She doesn't give face to anyone. She's completely changed. What exactly does she want us to do to satisfy her?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Qin Xiang's eyes. Lu Ning had already started keeping his distance a long time ago, and he's only realizing something's wrong now?

This is certainly a good thing for her.

She changed the subject: "What are you planning to do about the school doctor's situation, Sixth Brother?"

"Of course, we should make that man pay the price!"

Lu Liu went straight to the principal's office; this matter needed to be addressed.

After achieving her goal, Qin Xiang returned to the classroom.

As she passed Lu Ning, she whispered, "Sixth Brother went to see the principal."

Lu Ning's expression changed; as expected, she had brought trouble to Ji Chiqian.

She stood up, and then the English teacher walked in: "Let's begin the lesson."

Lu Ning had no choice but to sit down again.

She was somewhat distracted during the lesson.

Finally, get out of class ended, and Lu Ning went outside to call Ji Chiqian, feeling somewhat worried.

Ji Chiqian answered quickly, his voice calm: "What's wrong?"

“My sixth brother went to see the principal. You might be in trouble, but don’t worry, I will explain things clearly.”

"Kid, you don't need to concern yourself with adult matters!"

The man's tone was confident, even a little arrogant.

Lu Ning almost thought she had misheard, after all, this man was usually quiet and aloof, belonging to the very reserved type of person.

But for some reason, she believed him.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ning returned to her seat and focused on her studies.

With just over a month left until the college entrance exam, she will soon be free.

After school, Lu Ning packed her schoolbag and headed to the infirmary.

However, at the classroom door, she saw her second brother, Lu Nanfeng, holding a huge teddy bear.

Lu Ning stopped in her tracks.

Lu Nanfeng walked up to her: "Ningning, you performed wonderfully in the revival competition. I prepared a gift for you. Congratulations, and I look forward to your wonderful performance in the finals."
