Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Did You Bring the Peanuts?
“Do you know me?” Strange! He wouldn’t forget such a beautiful woman if he had seen her before.
“I don’t know you!” Sheng Ning stepped on Sheng Ningyi’s right foot and twisted it hard, his cold voice stating, “You better not let me see you again, you rascal.” After saying that, he left as if fleeing.
Sheng Ningyi returned to his dormitory in a panic, lying alone on his bed. Tears slowly soaked his pillow as he thought of his past life’s sufferings.
In his past life, he wronged Shen Jianguo, but in the end, Shen Jianguo still married Qin Cuifen, so they owed nothing to each other. The only ones who owed him were Meng Ping and Su Yun.
One ruined his life; the other sent him to prison.
How foolish and ignorant he must have been in his past life to trust the playboy Meng Ping.
After dinner, everyone gradually returned, and the dormitory began to bustle again. Sheng Ningyi lay in bed with his head covered, drowsy and silent. It was Wu Youli’s keen observation that noticed his abnormal behavior.
“Sheng Ning, are you asleep?”
He murmured a soft “hmm” from under the covers.
“I saw you didn’t go for dinner tonight. I brought back a piece of bread for you; do you want to get up and eat something?” Wu Youli looked at Zhang Hongmei, puzzled. Had she heard wrong? Why did Sheng Ning’s voice sound like he was crying?
Was someone bullying him?
Zhang Hongmei, unconcerned, completely missed the point and did not understand Wu Youli’s implication.
“I’m not hungry yet, thank you!” Sheng Ning really didn’t feel like moving. Ashamed to show his face in his current state, he simply stayed under the covers.
Zhou Xuelian was washing her feet when she saw the bread in Wu Youli’s hand. Without caring about the cold floor, she ran over barefoot and snatched it away. “If she doesn’t eat, I will. I didn’t get enough dinner, thank you!”
“Ah… that was for Sheng Ning.” That was actually what Wu Youli had spared from her own dinner, saving it for him.
“Isn’t he not eating?”
“It doesn’t mean it’s your turn if he doesn’t eat.” Chen Huaying snatched the bread back and handed it to Wu Youli. “Take it! I can’t stand your meekness. If someone dared to snatch something of mine, I would slap them hard.”
“Thank… thank you!” Wu Youli was not familiar with Chen Huaying and was surprised by her help, thanking her with a stunned gratitude.
Sheng Ningyi was about to fall asleep under the covers when he was awoken by their commotion. Hearing Chen Huaying’s words, he reflected that Wu Youli had never had any interaction with Chen Huaying in his past life. This might be a good development. With Chen Huaying’s assertiveness, perhaps Wu Youli’s misfortune could be avoided.
After finishing their meal, Xu Qigang led the group to escort Shen Feihu to the main gate.
“Xiao Tao, did you remember to bring the peanuts I asked for?” Before leaving, Shen Feihu hadn’t forgotten his ‘serious business.’
“President, I asked at the cooking squad, but they didn’t have any,” Xiao Tao said with a troubled expression.
Shen Feihu stared in surprise.
Xu Qigang and the others were also taken aback. Who had given the cooking squad such audacity? Peanuts weren’t anything rare; they wouldn’t even give them to the President!
“President, the people from the cooking squad told me that they didn’t make the drunkard’s peanuts, so they wouldn’t have any.”
“Then who made them?” Shen Feihu wasn’t insistent on having them, but upon hearing that someone else had made them, he became immediately interested.
The others present also showed an intrigued expression.
“I heard it was a female comrade who is here for training—Sheng Ning.” Xiao Tao had a deep impression of Sheng Ning. All members of the Rescue Association remembered her well; though they hadn’t spoken to her, they would linger with their gaze upon seeing her.
“Oh, a union member.” Upon hearing this, Shen Feihu smiled smugly, “Then I won’t ask for them now. When she finishes her training and goes back, I’ll have her make more in the cafeteria.”
Upon hearing Sheng Ning’s name, a shadow crossed the depths of Xu Qigang’s eyes.
