Chapter 401: Grief?

The cla.s.sroom instantly fell silent as everyone looked at Huo Jinyan. Huo Jinyan did not seem to have expected a scene like this. Rather, he had expected them to be overjoyed.

After all, he was so strict that everyone was afraid of him. Never did he expect these children to look at him with such gazes.

Huo Jinyan’s eyes flickered. He stood there and placed the textbook on the table. Then, he looked at everyone below the podium and said, “I’ll give you ten minutes.”

Then, he walked out of the cla.s.sroom.

Ten minutes to calm down.

Lu Ning watched Huo Jinyan’s back as he walked out. She did not look away for a long time.

Her fingertips twitched; she suddenly felt like smoking.

Lin Ci also seemed to be in a daze.

She turned to look at Lu Ning.

The cla.s.sroom was terrifyingly quiet. Even though Huo Jinyan was not around, no one said anything.

When Huo Jinyan returned ten minutes later, everyone had their textbooks opened on their desks, quietly waiting for him to return.

Huo Jinyan walked up to the podium, picked up his textbook, and subconsciously glanced in Lu Nings direction.

Lu Ning was looking at him. When Huo Jinyan met her gaze, he was startled.

Her gaze made him feel a little dazed, and carried a hint of grief…

Huo Jinyan slowly retracted his gaze and took a deep breath before starting his lecture.

His deep and pleasant voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

Lù Yue’an had been frequenting the school’s arts building recently.

She could often be seen in the piano room.

It was said that she signed up for the school anniversary gala and would be performing a piano recital.

And recently, she had been practicing desperately.

When Lin Ci and Lu Ning occasionally pa.s.sed by the arts building, they could hear the sounds of a piano coming from within.

“Sounds like ‘Mariage d’amour’.”

Lin Ci could not help but comment.

Lu Ning nodded. The two of them did not stop and continued walking.

“But it sounds like she still isn’t very familiar with it. Will she be able to perform on stage?”

“It has nothing to do with us.”

Lu Ning stared ahead coldly.

Lin Ci glanced at her and changed the topic.

“The cla.s.s monitor seems to be preparing for some stage play. 1 heard that he wanted to ask you to act as Snow White, but in the end, he didn’t dare to ask you.”

Lu Nings gaze softened a little and she smiled slightly. “l told him before that I won’t be performing.”

Lin Ci looked at her helpless expression. “So that’s why he came to me.”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, before she let out a laugh.

“And you agreed to help him?”

Lin Ci was at a loss of words. “If I hadn’t, he would bombard me with all kinds of nonsense. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I agreed.”

“So now you’re dragging me to your rehearsal?”

Lin Ci was pulling Lu Ning to the performance hall beside the arts building. The rehearsal room in the performance hall was relatively large. Recently, the partic.i.p.ants from Cla.s.s 9 had been rehearsing here.

Lin Ci nodded and pulled her into the performance hall.

“We’re in rehearsal room 3.”

The two of them walked to rehearsal room 3. The moment they pushed the door open, they saw everyone in the rehearsal room splayed out on their backs.

“What are you…”

The two of them were stunned as they looked at the ridiculous scene before them.

A girl stood up and said, “It’s the cla.s.s monitor! He said he wanted us to practice how to fake a fall. But we’ve been falling for real.”

The cla.s.s monitor stood at the side with an innocent expression. “1 wasn’t sure how to do it, okay? Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. Let’s try it again.”

“Wait, wait, wait! Please, stop!”

Lin Ci walked over and smiled at them. “Teach them after you’ve done your homework, don’t get them all bruised before they even go on stage.. How will you even explain that to the teacher?”
