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

No Early Birds Without the Worms

“This that big brother of hers?”

Gu Zi stood at the periphery of the crowd and pointed at Lu Qing at the school gate.

Gu Chen was also looking at him and had yet to utter a word.

“School’s just started and he’s already putting our Boss down with all these theatrics. Is this big brother of hers right in the head?”

Gu Chen lowered the brim of his hat and said softly, “Why don’t you find some time and show him what for?”

Then, he turned around and walked ahead.

Gu Zi did not immediately get what he meant. When he understood, he hurried after him with a grin.

“Pfft, Eighth Brother, you’re really vicious. Didn’t I just say that he really ain’t right in the head?”

Gu Chen glanced at him and smirked without saying anything.

The two of them were dressed inconspicuously and wore hats; they did not attract attention, but when they were about to enter the school they were stopped as suspicious people.

It was not until the two of them showed their employment certificates that they were let in.

——————

The noisy crowd at the school gate slowly dispersed as the Lù family’s Bentley left.

The students who had arranged to come together also entered the school one after another.

At this moment, a Maybach quietly stopped at the school gate.

The car window rolled down and the security officer immediately let Shen Guang in.

Shen Guang turned around and looked at Huo Jinyan.

…

Lin Ci was munching on a bun while she walked towards the school when she saw the Maybach.

“Mm? Nice car.”

She munched on her bun and returned to the classroom.

There seemed to be endless things to talk about once the holidays were over. Classes had not begun, yet every single class was filled with chatter.

Only Class 9 was quiet.

Lin Ci was surprised when she reached the door. When she walked in, she realized everyone was glancing in a certain direction from time to time and got the gist of the situation.

She walked straight to the center of their attention.

“Little Ning, why are you here so early?”

“I woke up earlier.”

Lu Ning sat by the window, and the seat next to the aisle belonged to Lin Ci. The two of them were deskmates.

Lin Ci spotted the cap on Lu Ning’s desk and did not say anything. She put her bag away and turned to stare at her.

Lu Ning felt her staring and turned around to look at her. “What’s up?”

Lin Ci could not help but give her a compliment. “Did you go for some beauty treatment without telling me? I only got tanned while you’ve gotten prettier again.”

Lu Ning chuckled. “That’s nonsense, you aren’t that tanned.”

Lin Ci looked at her with a smile and asked very naturally, “How’s your new home, is the environment good? I’ll come visit you this weekend.”

She asked candidly, so Lu Ning also answered naturally and candidly.

She liked this kind of straightforward personality, it was more comfortable for her than those that would gossip behind her back.

After Lin Ci noted down the address, she tucked something into her hand.

“This is for you.”

Lu Ning looked at the sachet in her hand and sniffed it. “What’s this? Herbs?”

Lin Ci nodded. “Yep, I told my grandfather about your condition and he mixed it for you, it’s not much. Put it by your pillow when you go back.”

Lu Ning stored it away carefully. “Thank you.”

Lin Ci waved her hand. “No thanks needed.”

Lu Ning looked at her and smiled.

Actually, even as the Young Miss of the Lù family, there were not many people who would become friends with her.

It was still alright when she had just arrived. Initially, only her classmates would greet her occasionally; but once the news that she was the Young Miss of the Lù family spread, people from other classes would come talk to her from time to time. She did not know them, so she could only listen patiently.

However, when it became clear that there were no benefits to be gained from speaking with her, fewer and fewer people came by, and eventually no one came anymore.

In the end, it was Lin Ci who concluded, “No early birds without the worms.”
