When Lu Ning heard the words "family," she felt nothing but absurdity.

She thought so too in her past life.

But on the eve of winning the championship, she was replaced by Qin Xiang.

What kind of family are they?

Lu Ning answered decisively, "I don't plan to join the team. I want to study hard and prepare for the exam."

Lu Liu said sarcastically, "But when you begged me to teach you how to play games, chased after me to train at night, and even said you wanted to be a formal team member, why didn't you say you wanted to study hard?"

Lu Ning felt a slight ache in her heart.

The reason she chased after Sixth Brother to play games was to build a good relationship with him so that they could have more common topics to talk about!

As for now, there's no need for that.

Lu Ning replied, "It's because playing games interfered with my studies, and my grades dropped significantly in the last monthly exam, so I don't want to continue playing games."

Lu Liu was speechless: "Fine, just don't regret it! When the competition starts, outsiders will only see Qin Xiang and think that she is a member of our Lu family."

Since Lu Ning is so ungrateful, then forget it, he doesn't care.

"That's good too."

Lu Ning didn't want to waste any more words and turned to leave the restaurant.

After returning to her room, she calmed herself down and began to do her homework diligently, reviewing the knowledge points she had forgotten.

-

The next day after school.

Lu Ning and Qin Xiang arrived at the school gate one after the other, while the driver waited outside.

Qin Xiang stood in front of the car and said, "By the way, I'm going to the training camp today. The driver will take me there first, so we're not going the same way."

The driver said sternly, "Miss, I received a call from the Sixth Young Master. He needs to take Miss Xiangxiang there first. We can't afford to waste time."

Lu Ning replied nonchalantly, "I'll take a taxi home myself."

Qin Xiang got into the car, her expression showing a hint of excitement: "Sister Ningning, I'll try to persuade Sixth Brother later."

Lu Ning turned and left, leaving Qin Xiang with the back of her head.

Qin Xiang watched her retreating figure, biting her lip inwardly: [Lu Ning, just you wait, one day I'll take everything from you! This is what you owe me!]

Lu Ning stood listlessly by the roadside, suddenly feeling less inclined to return to the Lu family home.

Why not find a study room near the school?

"Kid, why aren't you going home after school? What are you doing loitering on the side of the road?"

Lu Ning turned around and saw a handsome man. She was stunned for a moment, and only after meeting his eyes did she recognize who he was.

She turned out to be a sharp-tongued school doctor.

He usually wears a mask and a white coat, but now that he's suddenly changed his attire, she almost didn't recognize him.

Ji Chiqian stood in front of her: "I'm asking you a question."

"I don't want to go back now. I want to find a study room to do my homework."

"follow me."

Lu Ning watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him.

She followed them to the school clinic, stood at the door and said, "What are you doing here? I'm all better now."

Ji Chiqian tapped the table: "It's quieter and safer here than in the study room."

Lu Ning thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.

She put down her backpack: "Then I'll have to bother you."

She took out her textbooks and materials and began to do her homework diligently.

Ji Chiqian glanced at her with a cold look in his eyes, then turned and went to the consultation room outside, closing the door behind him.

When Lu Ning came to her senses, she realized that it was already quite late.

She saw a nameplate on the table with a picture of the sharp-tongued doctor on it. So his name was Ji Chiqian.

"Have you seen enough?"

Lu Ning was caught red-handed. Her face flushed, she put the nameplate back: "I didn't rummage around, I saw it by accident."

"Have you finished your homework?"

"Yes, there were some questions I didn't know how to do, I'll ask the teacher tomorrow."

Ji Chiqian walked up to her and snatched the homework book from her: "You can't even do something this simple?"

Lu Ning was slightly discouraged and looked down at her textbook: "Yeah, I wasn't serious before and other things distracted me from my studies."

“Listen, I’ll only say this once.”

Ji Chiqian picked up a pen and started writing on the draft paper while solving the problem.

Lu Ning froze, looking at the man in front of her, her feelings suddenly becoming very complicated.

Because of Qin Xiang, she didn't have many friends, and even her teachers didn't like her much.

No one has ever offered to help her with her homework.

Ji Chiqian lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent: "With your attention span, you're just daydreaming in class!"

Lu Ning quickly snapped out of her daze and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'll listen carefully."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Ji Chiqian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but he patiently continued speaking.

As evening fell, warm lights enveloped the two of them.

Lu Ning sat down, while he stood beside her, one hand propping up the table as he worked out the solution.

"Is your brain all straight lines? Can't you think outside the box? This is the same solution as the previous question."

"Can't you see how simple and misleading this question is? Are your eyes just for decoration?"

"Have you taken an IQ test? Did you fail? Do it again!"

His voice was cold and flat, but when he cursed, it was like stabbing someone in the back.

Fortunately, Lu Ning already knew he was a sharp-tongued school doctor, otherwise she would have already broken down.

Lu Ning persevered in the end.

She put away her completed homework: "Thank you, Dr. Ji. You're so amazing; you even remembered these."

Ji Chiqian twirled his pen, his gaze scrutinizing: "Don't you have a tutor at home?"

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "I don't want to owe them anything."

Tutoring is too expensive, and she doesn't have the money right now, nor does she want to ask the Lu family for help.

Ji Chiqian looked at her fair profile, her lowered eyelids concealing her current emotions.

Lu Ning cautiously looked up: "Dr. Ji, can I ask you questions if I don't understand something in the future?"

The man turned his head away, his tone somewhat unnatural: "I'm busy."

After being rejected, Lu Ning didn't get angry and obediently packed her schoolbag.

Ji Chiqian tapped the table, turned his head and added, "It depends on my mood."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, Dr. Ji. No, thank you, Master Ji!"

Before he could react, she grabbed her schoolbag and ran off.

Ji Chiqian squinted, a lazy smile playing on his lips. Oh well, he'd just use it to pass the time.

-

Lu Ning returned home; it was already dark.

The butler stepped forward and said, "Young Master and Miss Xiangxiang are having a meal together, so they won't be coming back for dinner."

"Ah."

Lu Ning went to a restaurant to eat alone, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

She opened her phone and, sure enough, saw Qin Xiang's post on WeChat Moments: "Having a big meal with my brothers!"

She saw her brothers were all there and smiled affectionately at the camera.

Lu Ning glanced at it, then closed her WeChat Moments and went back to eating.

The next day, Lu Ning got up and went to the restaurant for breakfast.

Her brothers haven't arrived yet; only Qin Xiang is here.

Qin Xiang subtly boasted, "I've improved a lot when I went to the team training yesterday."

Lu Ning sat down and ate her food expressionlessly, ignoring Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was in a good mood and didn't mind Lu Ning's cold attitude.

Don't be fooled by Lu Ning's calm demeanor; she's definitely furious inside!

Lu Ning finished her breakfast in a few bites and went straight out.

The driver stood by without moving: "Miss Xiangxiang hasn't come out yet. We'll have to wait for her to come together."

Lu Ning sat in the car for more than ten minutes, but Qin Xiang still hadn't arrived.

She glanced at the time and said somewhat impatiently, "We'll be late if we don't come soon!"

She was becoming increasingly unable to tolerate anything about the Lu family.

Lu Ning wasn't going to wait any longer and opened the car door to leave. Her fourth brother, Lu Bei, came out and said, "What's wrong with you waiting a little longer for Xiangxiang? Her father saved your life before and didn't abandon you. Now you don't even have the patience to wait for Xiangxiang for a little while."

Lu Ning gripped the doorknob tightly.
