57 Where Did You Find that Calligraphy?
Gu Chen noticed it. “Feeling faint?”
Lu Ning glanced at him and denied it. “No.”
Gu Chen cleaned her wound and applied so dicine.
When he wanted to change the gauze, Lu Ning snatched it from him.
“I’ll do it myself.”
She got up and bandaged her wound, facing a mirror in the infirmary.
While standing, she started to teeter but Gu Zi quickly supported her.
“You really okay?”
Lu Ning nodded. “I’m fine.”
Gu Zi did not dwell on it. Seeing that she was stable on her feet, he said, “That little disciple you introduced is very perceptive. Introduce us in person so ti.”
Lu Ning: “He doesn’t co by often.”
Gu Zi nodded, and could not help but praise him, “He’s a real genius! With so effort on his part, he’ll probably catch up to in a couple years!”
Lu Ning looked at him. “Really?”
Gu Zi nodded in earnest. “Yup, but he has such a seasoned technique. He ain’t older than , right? Don’t you tell I have to call him Big Brother when we et later.”
Lu Ning: “… Ahem, maybe?”
“Eh, what do you an ‘maybe’? No way, is he really older than ?!”
Lu Ning stifled a giggle. “When the ti’s right I’ll introduce him to you. You’ll know then.”
Gu Zi watched her and felt sothing was odd.
“You hiding sothing from ? What with a cheeky smile like that you obviously can’t be up to anything good.”
“No way.”
Gu Chen could not help but laugh when he saw the two of them squabbling.
He turned around and picked a few calligraphy copybooks from the cabinet.
“These copybooks, bring them back and see which of them are suitable for him. I’ll find more with that script for him.”
Lu Ning nodded and accepted them.
“Thanks.”
She kept the copybooks in her bag.
People kept passing by outside the infirmary, and the students who lived on campus began heading to the classrooms one after another.
Lu Ning glanced at the corridor. “I have to get to class.”
She walked out as she spoke. Just as she opened the door, Gu Chen said from behind, “Wait, your dicine…”
When he found the dicine and looked up, no one was at the door.
Gu Zi started chortling. “If you hadn’t brought that up she wouldn’t be gone so fast.”
Gu Chen shook his head, frustrated.
“Don’t laugh. She doesn’t look fine, rember to make her take the dicine after school.”
Gu Zi nodded. “Alright.”
——————
Lu Ning was one of the earlier arrivals. Expectedly, when she entered the classroom, everyone’s gaze was on her when she returned to her seat.
They were all curious about the incident yesterday that led to her injury.
However, aside from Lin Ci, Lu Ning’s relationship with everyone else in class was simply that of normal classmates. While they would occasionally exchange a few words, they were otherwise not very familiar with each other, and so no one approached her.
Lu Ning did not pay much attention to their gazes and walked back to her seat. Her pace was slower than usual, but she did not notice.
When Lin Ci arrived, Lu Ning was browsing the calligraphy copybooks Gu Chen gave her.
“Why so early?”
“I happened to be free, so I ca right after lunch.”
Lin Ci leaned over. “What’s with this morning? Why’d you apply for leave?”
“I went with Jingzhi and helped with his enrollnt.”
She put away the copybooks as she spoke.
Lin Ci suddenly pressed her hand to stop her.
“Hold up!”
Lu Ning was startled and turned to look at her. “What is it?”
Lin Ci stared at the calligraphy copybooks for a long ti before looking towards her. She asked enthusiastically, “Where’d you get this calligraphy?!”
Lu Ning was spooked by her.
“A friend got it for . What’s wrong? Is there sothing wrong with this calligraphy?”
There wasn’t any problem when I was looking at it, though?
