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

62 Three in the Morning

When Lu Ning woke up, it was already three in the morning.

She slowly regained consciousness; however, her eyelids were heavy and her mouth was dry.

Lu Ning opened her eyes with some difficulty. Her blurred vision slowly became clear.

It was her room… Her arm felt heavy as though it was weighed down with lead, and she could not move. She exerted some strength and wriggled her fingers.

The next moment, the weight on her instantly vanished. A gentle face suddenly appeared above her, and a pair of big eyes stared at her.

“Sister’s awake, Sister’s awake! Daddy…”

Before he finished speaking, a thump resounded nearby as if something had fallen.

Lu Jingzhi looked over and asked, “Daddy, are you alright?”

Lu Zhi had fallen asleep on the chair by the bed—he jolted awake with Lu Jingzhi’s exclamation, but had forgotten that he was sitting on a chair. So, he lost his balance and fell with the chair.

Hearing all this, Lu Ning struggled to remember what happened.

Lu Jingzhi supported his sister with a hand.

Shen Yunci heard the noise and hurried in, a bowl in hand.

“What’s going on?”

“Little Ning! You’re awake!”

Seeing that her daughter was awake, Shen Yunci did not care about Lu Zhi anymore. She left the bowl on the table and ran over.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Does it hurt? Is your head still dizzy? Want some water?”

Shen Yunci barraged her with questions. Lu Ning looked at her for a long time, then groggily shook and nodded her head.

Lu Zhi got up from the ground and looked at Lu Ning, a smile on his face.

“You’re asking too many questions, how is Little Ning going to answer all of them?”

Lu Ning looked at Lu Zhi. “Dad, are you alright?”

Lu Zhi shook his head. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Daddy’s very sturdy, a fall won’t hurt me. Are you thirsty? Daddy will pour you some water.”

Shen Yunci watched as Lu Zhi poured a glass of water, and she placed her hand on Lu Ning’s forehead.

“That’s great.”

Shen Yunci brought over the bowl on the table. “Ning’ning, have some porridge first. Don’t take your medicine on an empty stomach.”

Lu Ning grimaced when she heard that.

Shen Yunci fed her porridge with a spoon. Lu Ning opened her mouth and swallowed it, and she kept staring at Shen Yunci.

Shen Yunci looked at her curiously. “What’s wrong? Is there something on Mommy’s face?”

Lu Ning shook her head and flashed a brief smile. “Thank you, Mommy.”

Shen Yunci looked at her affectionately. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me, you silly child.”

Lu Ning finished the bowl of porridge with Shen Yunci spoon-feeding her, and then downed her medicine with the water Lu Zhi brought.

Before taking the medicine, she scrunched her brows, hesitant. Lu Jingzhi could not help but quip, “Sister must have fallen sick because she was afraid of taking medicine.”

Lu Ning: “?”

After taking the medicine, Lu Ning wanted to use her phone to check the time, but Lu Jingzhi snatched it away.

“Sister, you have to rest. You’re not allowed to play with your phone.”

Lu Ning nodded helplessly and was forced to lie back down.

After having some food and medicine, Lu Ning felt much better.

“Dad, Mom, go back and rest. I’m fine now.”

Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci nodded. “Call us if you feel unwell.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jingzhi followed behind her and prepared to leave. Before he left, he turned to look at Lu Ning. “Good night, Sister.”

“Good night, Jingzhi.”

They turned off the lights, leaving only a small night light for Lu Ning.

Lu Ning waited for a moment. When she did not hear any more footsteps, she slowly got up and took her phone.

The phone displayed ‘3:50’.

Lu Ning was taken aback for a moment. She looked at the dark sky outside the window.

Holding her phone, she silently lay back down and closed her eyes.

The night light filled the entire room with a dim glow, while the tears soundlessly falling from the corners of her eyes made her vision a little blurry…
