After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

58 I’ll Just Pretend You Don’t Know

She even felt that this would be too difficult for Lu Jingzhi, but the calligraphy was really good, so much so that she wanted to try practicing it herself.

“Don’t you know who wrote this?”

Lu Ning looked at the copybook; there was no signature on it.

Lu Ning shook her head.

She was not very learned in this field, even though she was quite interested in painting. Previously, when Old Master Lù let her study calligraphy and painting, she had always gone for painting; in contrast, she had not studied calligraphy at all.

As a result, although her penmanship was passable, it lacked aesthetic grace.

“This is Old Master Wang Zhi’s writing! My grandfather’s been keeping an eye out for his calligraphy for a long time, but he can’t find the real deal! How’d you get your hands on it?! Give me your friend’s number!”

Lu Ning: “…”

This is…

She was dumbfounded for a time. Yet, looking at Lin Ci’s face, she could not bear to reject her.

She could only come up with a compromise. “Why don’t… I bring it to your grandfather in two days, and then he can return it once he’s done looking at it?”

Seeing her troubled expression, Lin Ci did not say anything else and nodded. “Sure!”

In that case, Grandpa can be satisfied for a long time.

Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief.

Eighth Brother is too high-profile, he even has Old Master Wang Zhi’s calligraphy!

Although Lu Ning did not know him, she had at least heard of the Old Master.

His calligraphy was really hard to come by.

Putting the copybook back into her bag, Lu Ning massaged her temples with her hand.

She was really feeling a little light-headed.

Lu Ning did not pay much attention to it. She glanced to check the time, but saw a message on her phone. She read the message and scowled slightly before tossing it into her desk.

She appeared a little mad.

…

One lesson later, Lu Ning had a splitting headache.

It seemed like she was truly unwell. After school, she would have to look for Gu Chen to get some medicine.

She rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, trying her best to stay still to ease her headache a little.

However, she did not expect someone who disliked seeing her being at ease.

The chitter-chatter around her suddenly died down. Lu Ning paid it little heed, thinking it was the teacher arriving.

However, she did not hear the teacher’s voice after a long wait; instead, Lin Ci gave her elbow a bump.

Only then did Lu Ning sluggishly turn her head.

She slowly followed her gaze and spotted Lù Yue’an standing at the classroom’s door.

“…”

Lù Yue’an stood there, peering cautiously into the classroom. Finally, she took a step forward and asked a girl in the first row gingerly, “Can you help me call Lu Ning?”

The girl glanced at Lù Yue’an. “Can’t you call her yourself?”

Then, she lowered her head and continued her homework.

Lù Yue’an was taken aback. She did not expect to be refused, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

The deskmate beside the girl who refused her said, “Let me help you.”

Then, she turned towards Lu Ning.

“Lu Ning, someone’s looking for you.”

Lu Ning’s looking right over here, seems like she really doesn’t want to move.

“Oh, what’s the matter?”

Her words were meant for Lù Yue’an.

Lù Yue’an looked at Lu Ning and said in a timid, restrained voice, “Can you come out for a while?”

Lu Ning’s head was hurting something terrible. She did not even want to speak, let alone move.

“No need. I’ll just pretend you don’t know about my injuries.”

Her words really made one’s imagination run wild, especially when the entire class was already very curious about how she got her injuries.

As soon as she said this, Lù Yue’an was floored. Her eyes instantly reddened, and her voice became a little louder. “It really wasn’t me…”

She still wanted to say something; but facing the gazes of the entire class, all she could do was bite her lip and look pitiful and aggrieved. In the end, she turned tail and fled.
