Bai Ning had no idea what was going on in the outside world. She spent her first day in First Middle School in peace.
After school, Fang Xue took her to the office and filled in an admission form. She also gave her a temporary student ID to provide her access to the campus.
After that, Fang Xue told her what the dean had said, "Student Bai Ning, the dean asked me to tell you that he has already gone to ask around. The security guard who took your admission notice did not do it on purpose. He had a stomach ache on his way to the Academic Affairs Office, so he did not return in time. This matter is a complete misunderstanding. The dean said that he has already seriously educated the security guard, so you don't have to worry too much about this."
Hearing this, Bai Ning thought for a moment and replied indifferently, "I understand, Teacher Fang."
This matter was already in the past. Regardless of whether someone had instructed him to do so, she had already entered the school and there was no need to waste her energy on this matter.
Seeing that she was so sensible, Fang Xue couldn't help but say a few more words, "Yes, yes, it's good that you understand. You've just transferred schools, so there must be a lot of things that you're not used to, especially with regards to the learning pace here. It may be much faster than in your previous county school. You're already in your third year of high school, and this year is crucial. If there's anything you can't catch up with or don't understand, you must communicate with the teachers of each subject, understand? "
Bai Ning saw that Fang Xue was convinced that she needed help because of her poor grades. She curled her lips and said with confidence, "Mr. Fang, you can trust me more."
Fang Xue was shocked by Bai Ning's inexplicable confidence. She was stunned for a while. When she came back to her senses and wanted to say something, she saw that the latter was gone.
Thinking back to their interaction today, Fang Xue suddenly felt that Bai Ning did not seem to have as many problems as Qiu Daoming thought.
…
As soon as Bai Ning left the school gate, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was an unknown number.
At that moment, a series of car horns sounded. She looked up and saw a very familiar black car.
Bai Ning's brows twitched as she hung up on the call and walked toward the car. Needless to say, this unknown number must be Lu Qin's.
The window of the driver's seat slowly rolled down, and Lu Qin's handsome face appeared in front of Bai Ning again.
"Let's go, get in the car." Lu Qin said with a mischievous smile.
"Are you treating me to a meal?" Bai Ning asked. She did not move, nor did she ask why he was waiting for her here.
Hearing this, Lu Qin's lips curled up as he chuckled and said, "No problem. What do you want to eat?"
Bai Ning then opened the back door and got in. She said lightly, "Send me home after dinner. Otherwise, my parents will be worried."
After that, she immediately sent a message to Jiang Meilin, saying that she would not be eating at home tonight and would go home after dinner.
Lu Qin glanced at her actions and knew what she was doing. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, you're so obedient now?"
He started the car slowly, and Bai Ning could see the disbelief on his face through the rearview mirror.
This was no surprise. Lu Qin had seen Bai Ning scale the school walls to skip classes many times. That strong and healthy figure was completely different from the obedient girl she was now.
"Eh? Why are you saying that? I've always been like this." Bai Ning asked with a smile and blinked innocently.
Lu Qin smiled and did not say anything. If he were to say that he had personally seen her scale the wall to skip class A few times, she might just accuse him of being a pervert who had followed her. Thus, it was better for him not to say anything.
After a while, the car stopped. Bai Ning's gaze fell outside the window. In front of her seemed to be a restaurant with unique decorations.
The two of them entered the restaurant one after the other. Lu Qin seemed to be a regular here, and the waiter brought them directly to a private room.
After entering, Bai Ning put her bag on the chair without hesitation, picked up the menu on the table, and began to order. After ordering a few of her favorite dishes, she remembered the person who was treating her.
Lu Qin didn't look at the menu and simply ordered two dishes before asking the waiter to leave.
"Tell me, how did you get my phone number?" Bai Ning asked slowly when she saw that they were the only ones left in the room.
She was sure that she had never given him her contact information. After all, she had thought that they would never meet again.
Lu Qin slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea before saying, "I got it from your grandmother. She asked me to take care of you."
