348: What's the difference between that and getting covered in poop?

Military Doctor Shen glanced at Lu Jing, then looked at Xiao Niannian. He understood Lu Jing’s meaning, but he didn't point it out. If he did, Old Lu would definitely spar with him when he got back, and then Old Lu would unilaterally beat him up.

After entering the Department Store, Xiao Niannian looked around for a while and decided to buy two tins of chocolate. One tin was for her and her classmates, and the other was for Lu Jing. Not only could they eat it normally, but in crucial moments, it could also preserve heat and restore physical strength... "Brother Lu, can I buy this?"

Seeing Sister Xiao buy chocolate, he wanted to buy some too. He used to think chocolate wasn't tasty, but after arriving at the Military Academy, snacks were scarce, and suddenly chocolate became a delicious treat.

"Mhm."

Lu Jing also picked up a few items; they were all things he selected for Niannian. He saw that Niannian had only bought two boxes of chocolate.

When paying, Xiao Niannian took out money and coupons.

"I'll pay for this box of chocolate."

Lu Jing looked at her confusedly upon hearing Xiao Niannian's words.

"I'll pay for this one box."

Although confused, Lu Jing still nodded.

"Okay."

Military Doctor Shen also looked at Xiao Niannian confusedly, and Shen Yan was even more puzzled.

He could tell that Brother Lu was pursuing Sister Xiao, but it seemed Brother Lu hadn't succeeded yet.

Sister Xiao is truly amazing, she is someone he admires!!!

Hahaha, he didn't expect there to be someone in this world who could manage Brother Lu. He must listen to Sister Xiao from now on!

Lu Jing paid for all the other items.

"Thank you, Brother Lu. You are truly too kind to me..."

Military Doctor Shen looked at Shen Yan; how could he not understand that his younger brother was intentionally saying this for him to hear.

Hmph, if Old Lu is so good, then let Old Lu be his older brother.

He'd halve Shen Yan's allowance again next month!

Shen Yan felt something was wrong. Seeing his brother's dangerous look, he immediately thought of a possibility!

Hmph, his brother is leaving soon, so he definitely won't be able to control him anymore.

"Let's go."

The next second, Military Doctor Shen quickly dragged Shen Yan outside.

Shen Yan struggled, crying out in pain.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Could his brother be planning to beat him up?

Xiao Niannian watched them leave quickly, then handed the box of chocolate to Lu Jing.

"This box of chocolate is for you."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Jing's face.

So that was it. Niannian insisted on paying because she wanted to buy chocolate to give to him.

Lu Jing was overjoyed. He accepted the chocolate, and his heart felt sweeter than usual.

"Thank you."

Lu Jing put the chocolate in his backpack, and the military green backpack immediately bulged.

"I'll call you whenever I have time," Lu Jing said in a gentle tone.

"Okay."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian returned to the car. Shen Yan didn't speak; he had just been beaten up. His brother had dragged him into a corner to hit him.

He just beats him up without warning—is this really his biological brother?

Before, in the Capital City, he could still complain to his Grandparents. Now, he had nowhere to complain.

He must work hard, improve his combat ability, and definitely beat his brother in the future.

The car arrived at the school gate. Lu Jing parked the car outside and looked at Niannian in the passenger seat.

"You should go in."

"Mhm."

Xiao Niannian carried the bag in her hand and walked toward the school.

Shen Yan also followed her in.

When she reached the school entrance, Xiao Niannian looked back and saw Lu Jing still standing in front of the car, watching her.

For some reason, Xiao Niannian suddenly felt a hint of reluctance in her heart.

But she didn't show it. She sped up and walked toward the school.

"Sister Xiao, wait for me."

Shen Yan quickly ran up and said cheerily.

"Thanks, Sister Xiao, I really benefited because of you today."

This big bag of food was enough to last him until he received his allowance. At that time, his uncle would also send him his spending money. This was great.

"You're welcome."

Shen Yan remembered the four people getting beaten up last night and asked again.

"Sister Xiao, was it you and Brother Lu who beat them up last night?"

Xiao Niannian didn't answer.

Shen Yan assumed Xiao Niannian was tacitly agreeing, and he praised her.

"Sister Xiao, you and Brother Lu are truly a match made in heaven, you are both so outstanding..."

Only someone like Sister Xiao could be a match for Brother Lu. He had been wrong before; he thought Sister Xiao and his brother were a couple. His brother wasn't worthy; he didn't deserve someone as excellent as Sister Xiao.

Hiss, that hurt so much. His brother really hit hard.

He didn't even do anything wrong, yet his brother still beat him. When he got back, he definitely had to tell his Grandparents and have his grandfather hit his brother with his cane.

Shen Yan felt an urgent need to use the restroom. He handed the bag to Xiao Niannian and said.

"Sister Xiao, I'm going to the restroom. Could you please hold this for me? I'll come find you later."

Xiao Niannian took the bag and walked toward the dormitory.

She hadn't walked far when she saw Xiao Yu and a few others.

When Xiao Yu and the others saw Xiao Niannian, they immediately walked toward her.

"Xiao Niannian, where have you been for the past two days?"

Xiao Yu had been cleaning toilets for several days in a row, feeling incredibly sick and miserable. Shen Yan, that lunatic, stood outside the restroom every day and even made female classmates go inside to check if the cleaning was thorough. If it wasn't clean enough, they'd add another day... This made her hate Xiao Niannian even more. If it weren't for Xiao Niannian, how would they have been punished, let alone punished like this?

Xiao Niannian saw the expressions on Xiao Yu and the others' faces and knew they had never acknowledged their own mistakes. They were the ones who provoked her, lost to her, and proposed the punishment themselves. Now that they lost, they blamed her and thought it was her fault... Yang Mei blocked Xiao Niannian's path. Smelling the odor on them, Xiao Niannian immediately stepped back a few paces.

Having too good a sense of smell wasn't a good thing right now.

Xiao Yu and Yang Mei saw Xiao Niannian's action, believed she was disgusted by them, and became even angrier.

"You left the school without permission, violating school regulations. Come with us to see Director Feng..."

"Xiao Niannian, how dare you leave the school without permission? You're finished..."

"Xiao Niannian, you even dared to buy so much food from outside and bring it in. You're going to get a demerit..."

Hearing their mocking words, Xiao Niannian said directly.

"You have no right to control me. Move aside."

What?

Xiao Niannian did something wrong, yet she dared to be so arrogant?

Xiao Yu and Yang Mei's faces were full of anger, and they tried to reach out and grab Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian, disgusted by the stench on them, held the bag and avoided them.

Xiao Yu and Yang Mei were even angrier that the three of them failed to catch Xiao Niannian.

"Xiao Niannian, stop right there."

"If you have the guts, stop for me."

"Xiao Niannian, if you run again, I'll call the Disciplinary Officer..."

Of course, Xiao Niannian ignored them. These three people cleaned the toilets but didn't shower, reeking of stench. If she let them touch her, what was the difference between that and being smeared with shit?

Xiao Niannian ran even faster.

Although she was carrying two large bags of items, her speed was far beyond what Xiao Yu and the others could match.
