CH 16

The first day Ning Yi went to class after fainting, Ning Xiu worried continuously. It just happened that there wasn’t much to do at lunchtime, so he brought his little sister’s favorite strawberry cake over for dessert after her lunch and also came to see if that vain little girl had eaten her meal properly.

Who would’ve thought that he would see such a scene when he stepped into the classroom?

His family’s Yiyi doesn’t even have to hold her plate at home, she actually had to run errands and buy meals for Lu Xu Nan at school???

This stinky punk, with just a glance, you can tell that he hasn’t been beaten enough!

Ning Xiu was furious.

Sure enough, it’s Lu Ying Bei, that dog X’s little brother, really similarly infuriating. Dog Lu, since you didn’t teach your little brother properly, I don’t mind being the teacher that helps him enter society. Let him know that there are always some things you can do, and some things you cannot do while living in this world.

Wait, that shirt on Yiyi…F*ck! Which dog child dared dirty my family’s little bok choy!!!

Lu Xu Nan’s hand trembled, rapidly taking the bags and breaking the contact between Ning Yi’s hand and his.

Actually, he had never cared much about other people’s opinions, but also really wasn’t the type to fuss over something with a girl. But at this moment, he just happened to be seen by Ning Xiu ordering the other person’s little sister to run errands, and felt very much like his face couldn’t be kept. It looked like he was bullying the girl.

He made an “oh” sound, “I didn’t get hurt, just a little unwell…or something…”

Ning Xiu’s eyebrow rose. He didn’t say he believed him nor did he say he didn’t believe him, he just stared fixedly at him like that without speaking for a very long time.

The atmosphere was a little chilly for a moment.

Ning Yi’s gaze flitted between the two people in front of her and she suddenly got an idea.

She broke the silence with an “aiya” and tenderly said to Ning Xiu, “Brother, don’t look at how Nan gege’s complexion is rosy like there’s nothing wrong with him, actually he’s been feeling ill since this morning. He’s sick with a cold and a fever, his head hurts, his throat is also uncomfortable…”

“Ah! Nan gege, did you drink water in the end?” Ning Yi acted as if she suddenly remembered now, deeply concerned and blaming herself. “It’s all my fault, I can’t even get water, is your throat any better? Just now, I was in a hurry to buy food for you and forgot all about getting water. Where’s your thermos? I’ll get you some water right now… It’s still the not-too-cold-and-not-to-hot warm water that’s most suitable for drinking, right?”

Sick and running a fever? Fetching water and buying food? Come, come, come, great aunt will properly serve you right now~ Heehee.

Just as Ning Yi spoke, Lu Xu Nan felt as if the gaze with which Ning Xiu looked at him became substantial, stabbing into him like pins and needles.

However, Ning Xiu only thought his family’s little sister was simply so silly that she was cute, this stinky punk was obviously pretending to be sick and ordering you around on purpose. Getting water and even gauging the temperature? This was taking you to be a little servant girl! Fancy that you met with guilt and still blamed yourself, wholeheartedly concerned about whether he’s  drank water or not.

Such a kindhearted cutie, really my Ning family’s little fairy!

Ning Xiu couldn’t help lifting his hand and rubbing Ning Yi’s head. “There’s no need for you to be so concerned.”

When he finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Xu Nan. Long and slender fingers lightly knocked on the desk twice, his tone was serene as he said, “You have a fever? Then you have to drink more water. You know that Yiyi, this little girl, can still bake a little cake when she feels like it, but she’s never been good at chores. Where’s your thermos? I’ll get you some hot water.”

Lu Xu Nan thought in his heart, even if this water is poured, I don’t dare to drink it!

He gave a cough and calmly responded, “Thank you, Brother Xiu, I already got some hot water, I still haven’t finished it.”

“Then that’s good.” Ning Xiu was only being polite of course. He reached out and patted Lu Xu Nan’s shoulders, with the attitude of a good older brother who was looking out for him, he said, “Youngsters need to exercise more for their bodies to get better. Your older brother and I participated in a military fitness training camp before, the exercises and the intensity of it were all pretty good for strengthening the body and one’s health. How about this? I’ll contact their trainer, see if you can go train for a week during the national holiday.”

Lu Xu Nan’s teeth hurt.

The training camp that Ning Xiu was talking about, he also knew of. It was used in Beicheng to select people for the special forces, nicknamed the Demonic Training Camp.

Although Ning Xiu was saying now that he had participated in it before with Lu Ying Bei, in reality, that year he went, Ning Xiu lost the qualifications to continue training on the second day because of a detail in his physical exam that didn’t meet the standards.

Leaving his older brother there to train for two months, that miserable appearance when he came back, his mom was so distressed that she almost cried looking at him.

And at least a good half a month after that, so long as he mentioned a “Brother Xiu” in front of Lu Ying Bei, he would be dealt with and even warned not to recognize a traitor as a brother.

At the time, Lu Xu Nan really liked this tall, handsome, warm, and patient older brother next door, and only thought that Lu Ying Bei was envious of Ning Xiu for always being that little bit better at doing anything and so vilified him behind his back.

However, now he vaguely had a guess. He supposed that at the time, Lu Ying Bei was ruthlessly set up by Ning Xiu, thus he, that great iceberg, would become a firecracker at the mention of Ning Xiu for such a long time.

Brother Xiu’s skill at digging holes using devious means and extremely careful ridiculing, the average person really wouldn’t be able to hold their own!

Now, he was even suspecting… he had eaten so many losses over these years, if it was really as Lu Ying Bei had said, they were simply planted by Ning Xiu for him…

Lu Xu Nan coughed, “Our duty to study is rather important, I think school is more important right now.”

Hearing this, Ning Xiu nodded, “Right now, school is indeed important. I just knew your brother wasn’t right in saying that you didn’t study seriously, there isn’t necessarily a causal relationship between liking studying and exam scores. How can he deny your hard work just because a few of your exam scores weren’t ideal? I understand your thoughts, I will help you think of a way.”

Lu Xu Nan: …I suspect you’re mocking me for my bad grades, but I don’t have evidence.

Ning Yi was already laughing in her heart to the point she was cackling.

Hahahahahahahahahakakakaka, haven’t I cured you? Big brother, you’re really worthy of being my big brother!

Ning Xiu had limited time and didn’t stay at the school for too long.

And Lu Xu Nan, all along, didn’t know until he received Zheng Yu Hong’s call in the afternoon before class ended, what Ning Xiu meant when he said “he understands, he will think of a way” just before he left.

“Xiao Nan ah, I already heard from Xiao Xiu. I’m very much supportive of what you think. Your Xiao Xiu ge is really good to you, he even pulled some strings and helped you find several great teachers for the college entrance exam. They’re all teachers that he himself learned from back then, he said they’re very experienced. The time has already been set, you can start learning this weekend. This child, you, how come you don’t normally tell us when you’re thinking of something? If not for Xiao Xiu, I wouldn’t have known you were actually so serious about studying all along…”

Lu Xu Nan who had unknowingly been stripped of his time on the weekend: ??? It’s not like that, mom, even I don’t know when I adored studying so much ah!
