43: Gained a little fanboy
From a distance, a boy on the right was staring at her with shining eyes, admiringly saying, "Sister Si Nan, you are incredible. You are my idol. I have decided to stop idolizing the great heroes in anime and will only idolize you."
Si Nan, who opened the glass window to look at him, said: "---"
She leaned against the glass window, looking at the boy amusingly, "Just say what you need to say."
If she weren't bored, she wouldn't even bother with this boy; he was clearly a flatterer, and likely a delinquent boy who idolized ethereal anime characters.
She had no impression of this boy. In this new life, the timeline had changed, and other things had changed too. She remembered that an old couple lived next door when she was little; they only had a granddaughter, no Grandson. How could a boy suddenly appear?
While she was confused, the boy opposite pointed at his phone and called out to her, "Sister, add me as a WeChat friend! I have important inside information to tell you. It's extremely important, hurry, hurry."
Si Nan opened her phone. The guy opposite had already requested her as a friend many times. Recently, many strangers had actively added her on WeChat, but she hadn't accepted any of them, nor did she look at them.
"Fine, let's see what good news you have first." She clicked 'Accept'.
“Pat, pat, pat~” The guy opposite sent several voice messages in quick succession.
"Sister, you are in danger! Lü Tao, that womanizer, is planning to deal with you."
"It's not just Lü Tao."
"And there are weapons with destructive power."
Si Nan: "Oh? What kind of weapons?"
"Uh, Sister, can we trade one piece of information for one packet of instant noodles? I'm starving."
Si Nan: "---"
"That depends on whether your information is worth a packet of instant noodles."
"It is, absolutely!"
"Whether it's worth it isn't up to you to decide, but for me to judge after hearing it. Tell me."
"Then what if I tell you and you don't give me instant noodles?"
"You have no choice."
The other side suddenly fell silent.
After ten seconds, the other side suddenly said, "Okay, I believe you, Sister. For sincerity, I'll give you one piece first: Lü Tao wants to capture you, and he also wants to seize your house and food."
"The last thing is, he has a gun!"
Si Nan looked at the last word, "I know. This news is worth instant noodles. Open your window as wide as possible, and I'll give it to you right now. Do you know when Lü Tao plans to make a move? What is the plan?"
The other side shook his head, "I don't know that for sure yet. If I find out, Sister, can you give me one of the dishes from your live stream and a carton of instant noodles? My grandmother's house genuinely has no food left. I'm looking after the house for my grandmother; I only come back to stay during long holidays."
So that's how it was. No wonder a boy suddenly appeared; he must be the neighbor's Grandson. Si Nan understood. She tossed a bag of instant noodles over but didn't answer his subsequent questions.
"Thank you, Sister. My name is Ma Bufan. I'm a sports student, and I'm very strong. Call me anytime you need heavy lifting or anything like that."
Ma Bufan picked up the instant noodles, overjoyed, and thanked Si Nan repeatedly.
Si Nan asked him, "Why do you know that Lü Tao is going to target me?"
"Because I have a classmate in the complex. He's in another Property Owner Group. Lü Tao has ordered his three underlings to sweep through their building block."
"Those three guys are carrying a gun. They are not only killing people and plundering food but also sweeping for weapons, forcing people to hand over or reveal where they have weapons with destructive power."
"To survive, they had no choice but to comply. When they got to my classmate's place, they saw a long, foot-long broadsword my classmate bought to scare off bullies. When my classmate refused to give it up, they pointed at his sister and said if he didn't hand it over, they would send his sister to Lü Tao as an appetizer before he got to Si Nan."
"My classmate knows you, Sister. Your heroic deeds are spread throughout the entire complex. You are so brave, unafraid of evil forces, and you know martial arts. My classmate was extremely envious when he found out you were my neighbor."
Si Nan: "---"
Her killing people has now become a heroic deed. What a twisted concept of admiration.
Ma Bufan suddenly said with a wronged expression, "Sister, can I trade the things I just told you for two packets of pickled vegetables and one ham sausage? My classmate and his sister haven't eaten anything for two days either. If I call them over, can they both act as your inside informants?"
"Don't push your luck. Whether you call them over is your business. I only exchange valuable information with you." Si Nan was immediately displeased; she wouldn't support anyone.
Ma Bufan also realized he had gone too far and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sister. I was thinking too much. If I get any other news, I will tell you immediately."
Changing the subject, he immediately pleaded with Si Nan, "Sister, will you take me in as a subordinate? I'm a sports student, so my body and reactions are very agile. I'm great at fighting and can do heavy work."
"Oh, oh, I can also cook. I can cook for you every day, and I can clean and do anything else. Please just take me in?"
His eyes were shining brightly, looking at Si Nan with immense longing.
But Si Nan was not easily fooled. "Sorry, I have no such plans. You should worry about yourself. Since Lü Tao has sent his subordinates to sweep other buildings, he will sweep your house too. You should think about how to survive."
Ma Bufan, being young and fearless, thumped his chest and said, "I'm not afraid. My grandmother's house doesn't have the food he wants, nor does it have weapons, unless he just wants to kill people. Moreover, if he doesn't have a gun, he might not be my match."
"I hope you're right. I'll watch." Si Nan smiled. Considering that he himself was destitute and without food, yet he was still concerned about his classmate and his sister—he still had a conscience.
Given that he provided so much information at once, Si Nan ultimately gave him one ham sausage.
Ma Bufan was so happy he almost cried, "Thank you, Sister, thank you, Sister."
After running downstairs, Ma Bufan called over his classmate and sister. "Eat quickly. The three of us will share half a packet of instant noodles at a time. The seasoning packet is very salty, so we'll add a lot of water, drink more soup to feel full, and we have ham sausage too."
"I've been living at school for the past two years since coming here for school. Sister Xiao Wen took care of me every time I was sick, and I ate a lot of food at your place. I won't be ungrateful."
The newly arrived classmate Guan Xiaoning emotionally punched Ma Bufan on the shoulder, "What are you talking about? We're best friends; taking care of you is what we should do."
Sister Guan Xiaowen looked at the half-bowl of prepared instant noodles in front of her and started crying, "I thought Xiao Ning and I were about to starve to death—it's all my fault for not buying more things to keep at home."
Ma Bufan laughed loudly, "Sister Xiao Wen, even if you bought things to keep at home, they would have rotted! We usually live at school and only come back during long holidays. Plus, you have far fewer holidays in your final year of high school, so why buy anything? Eat up quickly. I believe we won't starve to death."
"And I'm telling you, Sister Si Nan is a good person. She's so cool; I really like her."
The brother and sister were startled when they heard this.
