Hearing those suppressed sounds, Lu Anran creeped back to her room. After closing the door, she leaned against it with a shocked expression. \n
It never occurred to her that Lin Haosheng was that competitiveâŠ. Just to harm her, he was actually willing to use his looks!\n
The corners of Lu Anranâs mouth gently lifted as she picked up her table calendar to flip through. The fourth of next month ahâŠ.. On the calendar marked this day as Ji Rouâs birthday. If everything went as per usual, then many important figures would be invited over on this day. After all, Ji Rou was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu Family, and her position in the Lu family became more sensitive than ever especially after Lu Junhaoâs disappearance and Lu Anranâs rise to prominance. Those people who intend to get closer to the Lu Corporation would definitely seize this opportunity to appear. If she, Lu Anran, makes a mistake on this dayâŠ.. How interestingâŠ.\n
âLin Haosheng, your smug calculations are indeed horrid!â Lu Anran murmured. If she did not chance upon tonightâs scene, who knew what would have happened? However, since she was aware of it now, she will naturally take precautions!\n
After she showered, Lu Anran lied in bed, falling asleep as she thought about the countermeasures she should take. The next day, just as the day broke, Lu Anranâs biological clock rang. Opening her eyes, she got out of bed and stretched, beginning a new day ahead.\n
After her warm-up, Lu Anhu said to Lu Anran, âWe wonât do boxing today. Letâs fight instead!â \n
âActual combat?â Lu Anran was stunned. âWonât I just be tortured then?â \n
âI will just be defending, not attacking.â Lu Anhu placed his right arm behind his back and positioned his left arm in front of Lu Anran. âCome!â\n
âAlrightâŠ..â Lu Anran also knew that the reason she worked so hard for such a long time was so that she could use it during critical moments and actual combat was indeed the best way to improve. Clenched both her fists, Lu Anran rushed up to punch Lu Anhuâs face.\n
âToo slow.â Lu Anhu easily dodged.\n
âHumpf.â Lu Anran snorted, closing the gap to elbow him. \n
âWhen attacking, donât move randomly. You must catch them off guard!â Lu Anhu easily fended off Lu Anranâs arm. âDonât target your opponentâs face with your first punch. Itâs easier to target their lower extremity.â \n
After Lu Anran heard this, she wanted kick Lu Anhuâs kneecaps. \n
âDonât use your feet to kick your opponentâs kneecap.â Lu Anhu stepped back and said, âYou can use a round kick to kick the side of the leg.â \n
Lu Anran followed Lu Anhuâs instructions and made a series of round kicks.\n
âDonât bend your legs. Straighten them out.â Lu Anhu corrected Lu Anranâs shortcomings. âKick again.â \n
âArgghh!â As she kept missing, Lu Anran also became a little frustrated. She then turned and made a series of Liao Yin kicks instead of the round kicks that Lu Anhu mentioned.\n
âYo~â Lu Anhu crossed both his hands to counteract Lu Anranâs attack, âSo dangerous.â \n
âOopsâŠ. I was too impulsiveâŠ.â Lu Anran sticked out her tongue. \n
âThatâs ok. Itâs indeed a good method of attackingâŠ.â Lu Anhu smiled, âBut your movements are still too large. Pay more attention. The result would be better if you manage to catch your opponents unaware!â \n
âOhâŠ..â Lu Anran nodded thoughtfully. \n
âAgain!â Lu Anhu ordered. After two hours of combat, Lu Anhu stopped the training. âLetâs go and eat. After eating, we can go to school.â\n
âAlright.â Lu Anran smiled with satisfaction as she wiped away the sweat on her forehead. She learnt a lot today!\n
The both of them ate and went to school. As Lu Anran stepped into her classroom, everyone started giggling while looking at her. Lu Anran froze, âWhatâs up with everyone? Why are you all giggling in such as sly manner?â \n
âClass Monitor, are you together with Senior Long?â Someone asked the question on everyoneâs mind. \n
âNope.â Lu Anran immediately denied. âNonsense!â \n
âThen why does Senior Long keep looking for you?â A girl asked. âYesterday as well. He was waiting by the door for everyone to leave before entering the classroom. He even shut the door! There were only the two of you in the classroom ah!â\n
âHuh?â Lu Anran blinked innocently. âYou are all mistaken! Senior Long sent over the script yesterday. Ji Ling is the female lead in the upcoming play. Since I was the one who recommended her, I am involved in the preparation. This means that I have to memorise the script as the understudy just in case Ji Ling is not able to go on the stage that day!â Lu Anran picked up the script on her desk. âThis is the script!â \n
âWhat else is there?â Lu Anran shook her head helplessly. âYou guys! Always thinking of such nonsenseâŠ.â Lu Anran glanced around, fixing her sight on the back of Qin Shumoâs deskmate. âBy the way, are any of you able to contact An Ge? He wasnât here yesterday either.â \n
âHm?â Everyone exchanged puzzled looks with each other before landing their gaze on the girl seated behind An Ge. âXu Ya, isnât your house quite close to An GeâsâŠ.?â\n
âOh yes!â Xu Ya nodded and replied. âAn Ge and I live in the same block of flats.â \n
âIf we do not hear from him today, could I trouble you to go to visit him for me?â Lu Anran said, âI can go with you if necessary.â \n
âNo problem. I can go there myself.â Xu Ya smiled and said, âClass monitor is indeed more responsible than our form teacher!â \n
âThatâs right!â Everyone echoed. Their form teacher is really irresponsible! Apart from his excellent lectures, everything else were handled by Lu Anran and Qin Shumo. So different from other classes! However, it was precisely because of this that Lu Anran and Qin Shumo had an important presence in the hearts of their classmates. \n
âUhâŠ..â Lu Anran was speechless.\n
âAhemâŠâ When everyone was grumbling and complaining, the form teacher Lu Rui walked in with his English textbook. The moment he stepped into the classroom, the entire classroom went silent. The bell also rang at this time. Lu Rui stood at the podium and glanced around once, âOpen your books to the 34th page. Number 1 read the first paragraph.â Lu Rui started his class as though nothing had happened. \n
Since Lu Rui feigned ignorance, the students naturally also remained silent. Everyone started their first period of class with sound of Qin Shumo reciting the English text out loud.\n
At the end of their morning classes, when it was announced that the afternoon military training has been changed to self-study, all the students jumped for joy. They were so happy that even their voices were louder than usual when they had lunch at the canteen. \n
âAnran, itâs so great that military training has been cancelled!â Ji Ling grinned and said, âI hate military training!â \n
âAnyway, you wonât be attending much of the military training.â Lu Anran replied. âYour rehearsals start from next week. You wonât need to continue military training so you can keep on grinning away!â \n
âMy dear Saintess Lu, this little one is unable to repay your great kindnessâŠ.â Ji Ling flexed her fingers exaggeratedly into an orchid shape. Mimicking her voice as one of the actors in Beijing Opera troupe, she continued, âonly by pledging myself~â\n
âI donât want it.â Lu Anran pretended to wave her hand in disdain, âJust get lost!â \n
âTskâŠ.â Ji Ling rolled her eyes. âDamnit. You donât even give other people face!â\n
âHAHAâŠ.â Qin Shumo started laughing, âJi Ling, your face is already so chubby, what kind of face do you still want? If you gain any more face, you might gain more meat on your face!â \n
âYOU!â Ji Ling pointed at Qin Shumo and gritted her teeth, âQin Shumo you irritating jerk!â Serves you right for failing to woo Lu Anran! Naturally, Ji Ling did not add the last sentence. She just pouted and harrumphed. âDamnit!â\n
âHAHA!â Lu Anran also laughed. âJi Ling, you can whack him ah!â \n
âLu Anran, donât give her bad ideas!â Qin Shumo joked. \n
âI canât be bothered to give him a whack!â Ji Ling rolled her eyes at Qin Shumo. As she turned around, she noticed that Lu Anhu was heading this way with his tray so she hurriedly waved her hand, âLu Anhu, over here! Over here!â\n
After hearing Ji Lingâs voice, Lu Anhu walked over. Ji Ling, Lu Anran and Qin Shumo sat in a table for four. Lu Anran was seated near the window, Qin Shumo sat opposite her, Ji Ling sat next to her and Lu Anhu who just arrived, sat opposite Ji Ling. \n
âAnhu, what do you think? Is Ji Lingâs face chubby?â Lu Anran smiled and said. \n
Lu Anhu raised Ji Lingâs chin with his chopsticks and replied with a serious expression, âChubby? Not really ah!â \n
âHear that? Hear that?â Ji Ling immediately brightened. How could her face become chubbier and chubbier?\n
âShe looks more and more like that lead in that anime!â Lu Anhu continued.\n
âWhich anime?â Lu Anran smiled and asked. â<Sunny Pig>?â\n
âAnran!â Ji Ling clenched her fist in protest, âHow am I like <Sunny Pig>?â\n
â<Mcdull>?â Qin Shumo asked.\n
âIsnât that still a pig?!â Ji Ling fussed, âDo I resemble a pig?!â She was currently suffering in the daily military training, the cram school that she attended was also very tough, so naturally she had to eat a little more ah! It was only an additional half a bowl of rice, did she really gained weight?!\n
âNot a pig!â Lu Anhu replied waving his hand, âA cat!â \n
âCat?â Lu Anran exchanged a glance with Qin Shumo and then stared at Ji Ling. This person was at least 6 kg! Why would she resemble a little cat?\n
âThe robot!â Lu Anhu said, âwith a large pocket on its tummy.â \n
â<Doraemon>?â Qin Shumo guessed. \n
âDoesnât it have another alias?â Lu Anhu laughed, âBlue fatty or somethingâŠâ \n
âLU! AN! HU!â Ji Ling used both her fists to thump Lu Anhuâs arm, âShut the hell up! Iâll kill you!â \n
Ji Lingâs small strength was only a tad heavier than a regular massage when she hit Lu Anhu, allowing Lu Anhu to tease her once more.\n
Lu Anran laughed so hard that her stomach ached. Qin Shumo was also gasping with laughter. \n
Yet at the table opposite them, the gazes of Liu Ling and Xiao Yan had an ominous glint. Why on earth does Lu Anhu like this kind of trash? \n
