The fiery gazes of those people told her that if she didn’t leave as soon as possible, she wouldn’t be able to leave Jingyuan High School that day!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even so, many fanatics had been paying attention to Chu Ning.

There was no other way. During the Dragon Boat Festival Gala, students from other high schools had been invited as attendees, and Chu Ning was now a goddess in the eyes of these people!

“Look! That’s Chu Ning! Let’s go!” Some sharp-eyed students shouted when they saw Chu Ning.

“Darn! Are you guys done yet?”

Chu Ning was out of breath from running. Not only did she not have time to remove her makeup, but she also left her clothes, high heels, and jewelry in the lounge in order to travel light!

Fortunately, she was very lucky. A passing taxi drove towards her. When Chu Ning returned home, the house was quiet. Only her second brother, Chu Jing, was home. As for Chu Ning’s parents, they were still behind Chu Ning.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, Chu Jing walked out of his room. However, when he saw Chu Ning’s disheveled hair, wearing a loose white t-shirt, and with no lights on in the living room, for a moment, his heart pounded fiercely.

“Female ghost?” These two words surfaced in Chu Jing’s mind.

“Bam.”

The lights in the living room were turned on, and Chu Ning panted heavily as she brushed the hair in front of her forehead away.

“Second brother, I’m back.” Chu Ning collapsed on the sofa and said somewhat tiredly.

“Xiao Ning, why are you alone? Where are Mom and Dad?”

Chu Jing paused for a while and before speaking. He was still amazed by Chu Ning’s current appearance.

Although Chu Ning’s face was a little blotchy due to excessive perspiration, she was still beautiful, especially her face, which was flushed from the intense exercise.

“Mom and Dad are behind. I guess they will be back in a while,” Chu Ning said lazily.

“Huh? Why didn’t you come back with them?”

Chu Jing couldn’t quite understand Chu Ning’s behavior.

“Second brother, I’m a little tired now. I’ve said too much today, so I’ll explain it to you tomorrow. Tomorrow, okay?”

Chu Ning just wanted to have a good rest, then take a hot bath and sleep.

She had already been speaking the entire day.

“Okay.”

Chu Jing felt a little sorry for Chu Ning when he saw her fatigued look. Although he had many questions on his mind, he didn’t ask any further. Anyway, they would be answered when their parents returned.

After more than half an hour, the living room door opened again.

Chu Ning’s parents were back.

Father Chu was carrying many things. They were Chu Ning’s personal belongings that she had left in the lounge.

“Xiao Ning, your performance today was marvelous, but why were you in such a hurry to go home? You forgot to bring your things back.” Mother Chu asked with some confusion, looking at Chu Ning who was lying on the sofa.

“Mom, you don’t know. I’m usually completely different in school compared to how I was on stage today. If I don’t take advantage of that time to sneak back, I’m afraid I’ll be surrounded by them.”

Chu Ning said helplessly.

“That’s great. Our Little Ning is like a star on TV. She’s like this because she’s afraid of being surrounded by fans.” Father Chu beamed as he spoke, feeling ecstatic.

His daughter was so popular. As a father, he, too, felt proud.

“Dad! No, I’m not a star. Third Brother is. I’m a good student,” Chu Ning retorted helplessly.

“Yes, yes, yes. What my daughter said is right! It’s just that we didn’t know that you forgot to take these items. It was a very handsome young man who located us and asked us to pass it to you.” Father Chu said cheerfully, as he put down Chu Ning’s belongings.

“Who was it?” Although Chu Ning vaguely knew who that person was, she couldn’t help but ask.

“He said his name is Yan Shen, the young man who hosted the show with you. He is very polite,” Mother Chu added.

“Oh, got it.” Chu Ning nodded, but her eyelids felt heavier and heavier. Then she fell asleep on the sofa.
