Chapter 117 - “Oh, so you are keeping secrets from me now?” (1)

“50 little suns this time?”

If Overload had a physical body, he would be smacking his lips and drooling right about now. [Yes, Host.] Ning Zhi looked at her little safe once again. All of those golden shiny little suns. They were not even warm from her heat yet. She gave 50 of them to Overload very begrudgingly.

Over half of her little suns in her little safe were gone. She only had 40 left.

Ning Zhi’s heart ached.

They were easy to come by.

She had to bully Lu Jue in exchange for them.

When she opened up her eyes again, Ning Zhi noticed that she was standing inside a senior high school and all the students around her had big, thick coats on.

Ning Zhi looked down at her thin, nude color sleeveless dress. She seemed to not have dressed appropriately.

She was pleased that she asked about which class Lu Jue’s was in and the classroom’s whereabout during the gathering. The information will come in handy now.

She looked forward to seeing Lu Jue in senior high school. He must have grown taller compared to when he was in junior high school.

Ning Zhi found Lu Jue’s classroom with east this time, but she didn’t see Lu Jue in class.

He wasn’t here?

Ning Zhi was just about to look around when she turned and saw the healthy Huo Xiaoyue walked down the hallway with his two long and slender legs.

Compared to the Huo Xiaoyang in the wheelchair, the current one was less mature-looking but more of a sunny young man.

He was tall and, in his senior high school uniformed, attracted a lot of attention as he walked down the hallway.

Huo Xiaoyang walked past Ning Zhi and, standing outside of the classroom, said, “Can you please get Huo Xiaoyue for me?”

The girl whom he stopped stopped breathing for a moment and her face turned beet red all of a sudden. “She’s not here right now. We have PE next and I think she went early to the swimming pool.”

The girl dared not look at Huo Xiaoyang directly. He was too handsome. “I’ll let Xiaoyue knew that you came looking for her.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Huo Xiaoyang had a gentle smile on his decorous face. The girl became shier. “You… you are welcome, senior.”

Hearing their conversation, Ning Zhi figured that Lu Jue would also be at the swimming pool, so she turned and headed that way.

When Ning Zhi arrived at the indoor swimming pool, she could see students in their swim suits and swim trunks. There was heating indoor so, even though it was winter, it was still very warm inside.

As two classes were having the class together, there were a lot of people there.

Ning Zhi had thought that it might be difficult to locate Lu Jue among so many people but, as he was the only one with floral prints swim trunk among all the other boys with black swim trunks, she was able to spot Lu Jue right away.

Welp, that was easy.

Ning Zhi cut through the crowd and walked toward the lanky outline.

“Lu Jue.” Ning Zhi patted him on his shoulder from behind.

Last time she saw him, he was still a junior in junior high school and that was over 6 months ago. Lu Jue had grown much taller and was now close to 1.8 meters.

Lu Jue didn’t respond but just looked at her in a daze.

Ning Zhi was just about to walk in front of him when someone else beat her to it.

It was Huo Xiaoyue from senior high school days.

She had on a white swimsuit and her hair tied up into a pony tail high on her head. She was young and lively. Smiling at Lu Jue, she said to him, “It’s my birthday tomorrow and I planned to invite our classmates to celebrate. Would you like to join us?”

Lu Jue kept his head lowered and ignored her.

Huo Xiaoyue was already used to him being silent. “I am going to assume that you are coming if you don’t say anything.”

She then carried on to say, “You always watched us swim during swim class. Why don’t I teach you this time?”

She figured that if she was to teach Lu Jue how to swim, there would be a lot of physical contacts between the two of them. The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea. “C’mon, Lu Jue. I’ll teach you.”

Lu Jue continued to ignore her.

Another girl walked over to them at this point in time. Ning Zhi felt that she looked very familiar.

The next second, Ning Zhi heard Huo Xiaoyue called the girl by her name, Li Li. Ning Zhi looked at that girl again and, slowly, the features of the girl matched that behind the heavy makeup the other day.

It was, indeed, Li Li.
