The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy Chapter 252 – Capital First High School

Chapter 252: Capital First High School

Lu Huaiyu chose a barbecue restaurant.

They both sat facing each other inside the small private room.

Lu Huaiyu cut a thick slab of black beef into small pieces and patiently put it on the grill.

The aroma of grilled meat gradually filled the air.

Ning Li held her cup and took a sip of buckwheat tea.

Lu Huaiyu glanced at her and saw her relaxed eyes.

He could not help but laugh. “Are you that happy?”

Ning Li’s eyes curved as she nodded.

“Mhmm. Thanks, Second Brother.”

Her eyes were extremely beautiful with thick and long eyelashes that curled up naturally.

The light reflected off her eyes like the moonlight spilling onto a lake, bright and radiant.

When her eyes arched into a smile, it felt like a light breeze blowing over a pool of spring water, brimming with light.

Lu Huaiyu focused on her face for a while before moving away.

Ning Li did not notice it.

She was indeed in a very good mood today.

On the one hand, her exams were over. On the other hand, she had managed to somewhat get back at Ye Ci.

Ye Ci would probably not sleep well due to this matter over the next few days.

A person who had done something unspeakable would fear that the truth would be revealed.

The most torturous thing to them would be the impending revelation.

Ning Li was not in a hurry.

She had plenty of patience for Ye Ci.

After all, Ye Ci had “taken care” of her for many years, so now that Ning Li had the opportunity, she naturally had to repay Ye Ci.

The reason Ning Li had thanked Lu Huaiyu was because he had cooperated with her today to give her the response that she had hoped for.

Lu Huaiyu took a piece of meat off the grill and put it onto her plate. He was also smiling with his eyes.

“As long as you’re happy.”

He had a vague idea as to why Ning Li wanted to stay with the Ye family and felt quite relieved.

“Is the schedule for the winter training camp out yet?” He asked casually.

Ning Li nodded her head.

“Yeah, our flight is at 10:00 am the day after tomorrow. As they mentioned previously, the training location is at Capital First High for a duration of two weeks.”

Lu Huaiyu raised an eyebrow.

“Capital First High? The plum blossoms in the garden are quite nice. You can check it out when you have the time.”

Only then did Ning Li remember that Capital First High School was also Lu Huaiyu’s alma mater.

However, he had only attended high school there for a year or so before he had gotten into Xijing University.

“Okay.” Ning Li responded.

The two weeks of training were completely closed off, so Ning Li would only be able to go around inside the school campus.

“By the way, the training is pretty strict on phone usage. It looks like we will only be allowed to use our phones for a while at night, so I guess I won’t be able to reply to your messages during that time.”

After Ning Li finished her sentence, she suddenly felt a little awkward.

Lu Huaiyu did not contact her much anyway.

When she had said that, it somehow seemed as if she was voluntarily sharing her detailed schedule with him.

The cyberbullying case had concluded, but Zhang Yang’s case was still ongoing and would probably take some time to deal with.

Apart from that, there was nothing else going on.

Thus, there should not be much contact between Lu Huaiyu and Ning Li.

That was why it felt a bit redundant to tell him this.

Lu Huaiyu did not seem to mind. When he heard this, he only nodded.

“Okay.”

Although Lu Huaiyu had never participated in these competitions, Zhou Fei had been a frequent participant in these competitions and would always get a prize.

Thus, Lu Huaiyu knew about the situation.

“You’ll come back in two weeks?” Lu Huaiyu asked.

Ning Li thought about it for a moment and shook her head.

“I haven’t decided yet since I rarely go to the Capital. Gu Siyang invited me to the LY training base, so I might go over and check it out.”

Lu Huaiyu said, “Mm. There are a few places in the Capital that you can visit if you have the chance.”

Ning Li smiled, “Okay.”

…

Ye Ci and Cheng Xiangxiang went to a hot pot restaurant.

The few people that Cheng Xiangxiang invited had already arrived. When they saw them coming, they immediately greeted them warmly.

The two of them took their seats.

The hot pot restaurant was bustling with people.

However, Ye Ci looked distracted.

“Ye Ci! Ye Ci? Why aren’t you eating?”

Someone saw that Ye Ci had not moved her chopsticks much and tried to urge her to eat more.

Ye Ci only returned to her senses after that person had called out to her twice.

She forced a smile. “I’m not very hungry, so I won’t eat much. You guys can help yourselves.”

Cheng Xiangxiang knew that Ye Ci was in a bad mood. She then came up to her ear and whispered a piece of advice.

“Lil Ci, don’t get upset because of those things. Your cousin’s company didn’t do a proper job, but it has nothing to do with you.”

Ye Ci lowered her eyes.

“But…it’s still related to my cousin’s company after all…”

“So what? Is Ning Li gonna take it out on you because of this?”

Cheng Xiangxiang pursed her lips. “Your cousin’s company does this kind of business anyway. It’s not a crime, right? Besides, anyone who watched the video would know that it’s Ning Li who has problems. Even without these marketing accounts, she still wouldn’t be able to escape.”

However, the school’s surveillance footage had been leaked and turned the tide.

Ye Ci still seemed a little worried and apologetic.

“No, I’m just worried that Sister Ning Li will misunderstand me…”

“It doesn’t matter what she thinks. Anyway, isn’t the case closed according to Second Master Lu? Since it’s over, you don’t need to think about it.”

Cheng Xiangxiang talked as she ate.

“Also, isn’t that winter camp starting soon? You should just focus on preparing for the national competition! Once you enroll at Xijing University, you’ll be different from us!”

Cheng Xiangxiang did not lower her volume when she said this, so several people around them heard it and chimed in one after another.

“Oooh…Xijing University! Lil Ci, you’re so smart!”

“How can you guys compare to someone who got fifth in the province? Come, let’s toast in advance! In a few months, Lil Ci will be a freshman at Xijing University!”

“I hope some of your intelligence will rub off on me!”

Several people gathered around.

Ye Ci readjusted her expression, raised her glass, and clinked it with them. The corners of his lips curled up with a smile.

“Thank you.”
