Chapter 72: Collecting clothes, picking up Qin Shuhan
(Part 1)
After the assembly, the new students left the hall as a class. Throughout the whole process, Lu Rui did not even appear at all. He’s really a person who hates bothersome matters ah!
After the students returned to the classroom and sat in their seats, Lu Rui stood up slowly and said after glancing around once at the students, “School will officially begin tomorrow, on 1 September. Military training would be held during the first 4 weeks. We will have regular classes in the morning and military training during the afternoons. During this period, all of you should wear the provided camouflage uniform and not your own clothes. Both monitors, gather up the heights of each student now and go collect the camouflage uniforms with my signature.” Lu Rui paused for a moment before continuing, “No. 1 to count, No. 17 to record!”
Qin Shumo stood up, “Raise your hands if you are between 1.50m but under 1.55m.”
Only two girls in the entire class raised their hand which Lu Anran recorded down.
“Hands up for those between 1.55m and 1.60m.” Qin Shumo counted the number of people and said to Lu Anran, “5 people.”
“Hands up for those between 1.60m and 1.65m.” Qin Shumo continued counting and then said, “it’s 12 people, including you.”
“Hands up for those between 1.65m and 1.70m.” Qin Shumo lowered his head and said after counting, “5 people.”
“Hands up for those between 1.70m and 1.75m.” Qin Shumo looked around and then said to Lu Anran, “including me, that’s 6 people.”
Lu Anran nodded and wrote down a “6” in the column for 1.75m.
After recording, Lu Rui signed his name on the collection form and handed it to Qin Shumo before saying, “Classes are over after the monitor finish giving out the uniform. From tomorrow onwards, arrive at school before 8AM. The other class committee members will be selected by the two monitors. Pass the list over to me before classes are over on Friday!” After saying that, he left the classroom without even stopping for a second.
Lu Anran and Qin Shumo exchanged a glance and shrugged. Lu Anran then stood on the podium and said, “We will go and collect the camouflage uniforms. Let’s self- study and stay quiet.” After saying that, she left the classroom with Qin Shumo. The place to collect the uniforms was not far, and was just on the second floor of the next building. When Lu Anran and Qin Shumo arrived there, students from other classes were already getting their uniforms. Lu Anran noticed someone familiar in the crowd and started to frown unconsciously. Yet in the next second, she hid her unhappiness.
“Anran!” Chu Yao caught sight of Lu Anran when she turned around after receiving the camouflage uniforms for her own class. She was initially shocked, but she pretended as though she was close with her, “Did you come to collect the camouflage uniforms too?”
“Yes ah!” Lu Anran nodded.
“You are… Qin Shumo right…. I am Lu Anran’s best friend. Troubling you to give my family’s Anran a lot of support!” Chu Yao curved her hand on to Lu Anran’s arm, as though the both of them were close.
“…..” Qin Shumo took a glance at Chu Yao and said to Lu Anran, “I’ll go and report the quantity first.” He then ignored Chu Yao and strode away.
“…” Lu Anran resisted the impulse to roll her eyes and pulled her arm away from Chu Yao, “Since you have collected the uniforms, quickly return to your own class!”
“……” Chu Yao did not expect that not only did Lu Anran not cooperate with her, even Qin Shumo acted as though he could not be bothered with her. For a moment, she felt embarrassed, but she forced a smile before clearing her throat and said, “Then I’ll be going back to class first!”
“Bye……” Lu Anran really did not want to talk to Chu Yao or even look at that face of Chu Yao.
Chu Yao covertly clenched her fist as she went downstairs while carrying the uniforms with the other male monitor.
As Chu Yao left, Lu Anran harrumphed but once she noticed that Qin Shumo was carrying 30 uniforms all by himself, she hurried forward, “Let me carry half!”
“No need!” Qin Shumo shook his head and strode ahead.
“Oi……” Lu Anran followed behind Qin Shumo and still felt that it was inappropriate. “There are so many uniforms, don’t carry all of them by yourself!”
Yet Qin Shumo continued to ignore her. He did not want Lu Anran to carry heavy stuff, even if it is just clothes! Fortunately, these uniforms were bundled up in packs, so he had no trouble carrying it.
After taking the uniforms to the classroom, they were handed out according to height. Once the 30 sets of uniforms were all quickly and completely distributed, Lu Anran and Qin Shumo informed their classmates that they could leave before returning to their seats to pack up.
“Are you going straight home later?” Qin Shumo asked Lu Anran.
“Mm.” Lu Anran nodded, and counter asked, “What about you?”
“It’s only a half- day today. I’ll go grab something to eat.”
“I see ah!” Lu Anran smiled.
“Anran, I’ll leave first!” Ji Ling waved the phone on her hand and said, “Queen Mother was free today and has personally driven Little Colt over to pick me up. She’s already at the school entrance.”
“Ji Ling, you will still be a class committee member, right?” Lu Anran held onto Ji Ling and asked.

(Part 2)
“Sure!” Ji Ling nodded, “Anyway I have been a committee member since primary school. Although the form teacher is a little weird, but since you are the monitor, I can only join you at the risk of my life!”
“Thanks!” Lu Anran replied smilingly.
“Why are you being so polite to me?” At this moment, Ji Ling’s phone vibrated, “Oh no, it’s Queen Mother’s life- threatening series of calls! I’m leaving first ah! Bye bye my two dear monitors!” After saying that, she carried her backpack and ran away, leaving the two people’s line of sight.
Watching Ji Ling hastily rushing away, Lu Anran and Qin Shumo laughed speechlessly. Then, Lu Anran carried her own schoolbag and just as she was going to say goodbye, Lu Anhu appeared at the doorway of Class D, “Anran, hurry up, let’s go. I’m starving!”
“Coming!” Lu Anran replied and then waved at Qin Shumo, “See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.” Qin Shumo also smiled as he waved back.
Lu Anran and Lu Anhu left the teaching building together. When they reached the carpark, Lu Anwei was already waiting there for them. After picking up Lu Anran and Lu Anhu, Lu Anwei asked, “Are we going home directly?”
“Of course la!” Lu Anhu rubbed his empty stomach and said, “I didn’t eat much during breakfast, and was tortured for the whole morning. It’s already 2PM, yet I haven’t eaten lunch……”
Hearing that, Lu Anran presented a smile of unparalleled sincerity, “Then I’ll treat you to lunch!”
“Ugh….” Hearing Lu Anran’s words, the dread from that day invaded Lu Anhu’s heart again and wave after wave of uncontrollable nausea surged. Lu Anhu hurriedly deflected, “No need…… I’m not hungry……”
Lu Anran smiled, “Not hungry?”
“NOT HUNGRY! NOT HUNGRY!” Lu Anhu shook his head like a rattle drum. You must be joking! He considered his stomach as the most important organ in his body! If it was tortured once more by Lu Anran, he probably would need to say goodbye to this beautiful world……. How scary……
“Where are we heading to now?” Lu Anwei started the car and asked.
“We are going to Yinghua Middle school to pick Teacher Qin now.” Lu Anran said, “Didn’t I tell you last night that we are giving Teacher Qin a lift back to our place?”
It was only after a while that Lu Anwei replied, “Mm.”
“……” Lu Anran observed the microexpressions on Lu Anwei’s face and silently sighed while looking out of the car window. However, she noticed a figure of a youth not far away. He looked like the honest senior who introduced himself today in the hall. What was his name? Seems like……
Long Yuxing……
Watching that figure gradually moving further away till he disappears, there was a moment that Lu Anran overlapped this figure with that masked person from that banquet of Long Corporation, but she shook her head after hesitating for a minute. How could there be such coincidence? Also, she didn’t even know who the masked guy was! How could it be that he so happens to be her senior? There was no such coincidence in romance novels… Moreover, hadn’t she already decided that in this lifetime she would only care about Lu Corporation and work and not love? Even if she remains single, so what?
Shaking her head, Lu Anran threw that figure out of her mind.
It was only after seeing her car disappearing completely from his sight that Long Yuxing turned around and sat in the black BMW. In order to hide his identity at school, he has always kept a low profile. If it was not because it was an easier method to get closer to Lu Anran, he would have never entered the whatchamacallit student union and be elected in such crummy position as a vice-president.
Ah Lin who was sitting in the driver’s seat, could only shake his head helplessly. His Young Master just had to like that person! Ah Lin turned the key to start the car but after hearing the sound of the car engine, Ah Lin frowned in displeasure. This kind of car that is only worth three or four million was just so difficult to drive. One should know that the worst car in Young Master’s garage was a 30 million Cayenne ah! Even he would not buy this type of trashy sports car model but this was all for Young Master…… Who asked Young Master to like other people and want to keep a low profile?
Ah Lin could not help sighing and asked, “Young Master, where are we heading to?”
“Xin Dong.” Long Yuxing replied. The shopping mall in Xin Dong was almost finished. The closer it is to the end, the tighter he has to keep watch on it.
“Young Master, you haven’t eaten right……” Ah Lin was a little worried as he looked at the somewhat weary Long Yuxing through the rearview mirror.
“I’m not hungry.” Long Yuxing urged, “Quickly drive.”
“This…..” Ah Lin hesitated for a moment, but he still nodded, “Yes, Young Master.” As soon as he said that, he drove towards the direction of Xin Dong.
When Long Yuxing shut his eyes to rest, his mind conjured up that unwavering smiling figure. Her tilted head as she looked at himself under the sunset, and her sweet smile as she nodded in agreement, “Okay!”
Opening his eyes again, Long Yuxing looked out of the window at the azure blue sky.
Lu Anran, you are mine! You have previously promised to marry me, so you can only be mine!
“Ah choo!” Lu Anran who was sitting in the car suddenly sneezed.
“Have a cold?” Lu Anhu looked at Lu Anran and asked.
“No, just that my nose suddenly felt a little itchy.” Lu Anran rubbed her itchy nose with the back of her hand, “It’s alright.”
When the car stopped at the entrance of Ying Hua Middle School, Lu Anran got off and dialed Qin Shuhan’s number, “Teacher Qin, I’m at the school gate. Come out quickly!”
After about two minutes, Lu Anran caught sight of Qin Shuhan’s figure. She was professionally dressed today. Her little tight suit outlined her impressive figure while her beautiful legs were encased in silk stockings under her short skirt, easily making one think of unlimited thoughts. Although her 5 cm high heels were considered to be relatively low, but it was sufficient to reveal the slimness of her calf.
