Chapter 199: Chapter 200: Dabao is Angry Chapter 199: Chapter 200: Dabao is Angry Sheng Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself how quickly rumors spread. “I know, thanks for the reminder.”

“You know that’s good, I’m just afraid one wrong step and you could end up in a terrible mess.”

“Thank you for the reminder.”

Lu Xiaoshuang didn’t expect her to thank her earnestly, and after a moment of puzzled scrutiny, she finally snorted coldly and said, “You’re welcome!” Then she carried her basin past them and returned to the dorm.

“What does she mean by that?” Wu Youli was completely baffled.

“She’s warning me, I guess the rumors must be getting pretty ugly by now.” Sheng Ning still smiled, but her smile was tinged with bitterness.

“Shouldn’t you explain things to Captain Xu then?” Wu Youli only then realized the severity of the situation. What if Living Yama found out? How would that end?

“It’s fine!” Sheng Ning said as she found an empty tap and began filling her basin to wash her clothes.

“Sheng Ning?”

In the Northern winters, the proverb goes: “At twenty-nine, don’t put out your hand; at thirty-nine and forty-nine, walk on ice.” The cold air and cold wave are so chilling that it’s hard to stretch out your hands.

She made hot water by mixing boiling water with the cold and began hand washing her clothes and bed linens, yearning for a future with a fully automatic washing machine.

Sheng Ning worked quickly and finished a basin of clothes in no time. Wu Youli was still washing hers slowly, so Sheng Ning took half and washed them quickly.

“Why is Sheng Ning doing laundry so late?” Passersby greeted her warmly.

“Since they need to be washed anyway, I thought I’d just wash them today.”

“It’s so cold out, hurry up!”

“Right away!”

“Sheng Ning, need help?”

“No, thank you!” Sheng Ning replied, smiling as she washed, not even feeling the cold water numbing her hands.

By the time the two had finished washing, it had already gotten dark, and Zhang Hongmei had gone back who knows when. She probably saw them but didn’t call out.

After re-boiling the water, the two headed back together. First they hung up their clothes and linens, then they returned to the dorm.

“Why so late? Did you two elope?” Chen Huaying sat soaking her feet on a stool and grumbled as they walked in.

“It’s you who eloped!” Wu Youli retorted with a flushed face.

Sheng Ning knew she was just running her mouth and responded with a laugh, “What’s wrong with eloping? You disagree?”

“Of course, I disagree. Do you think I’m as foolish as Dabao?” That silly girl was still fuming while moving her things!

In truth, moving into Sheng Ning’s dorm wasn’t about watching over them. It was completely to escape the torment of Dabao.

That girl, with her eyes full of endless grievances, made you truly comprehend her destructive power.

She had learned her lesson. If you can’t beat them, can’t you at least avoid them?

So, she moved into Sheng Ning’s dorm to find some shelter from the storm.

“Don’t talk like that about Dabao; Dabao will get upset,” Wu Youli said gently, quite fond of the thin and petite Dabao.

“She’s already upset.”

Zhang Hongmei had already washed up and was in bed, leaning against the wall, knitting a sweater with deep concentration.

Although she kept her head down, her eyes frequently stole glances at the chatting trio.

Sheng Ning, keenly observant, clearly saw a hint of envy in her eyes. Considering the two had given each other the cold shoulder for so long while living in the same dorm, it really wasn’t conducive to keep silent. So, while pouring water for a foot bath, she said, “Hongmei, we had agreed to go buy yarn together after the training camp ended. Do you have time tomorrow?”

“I do!” Zhang Hongmei quickly nodded, “Shall we go together tomorrow?” She had already regretted her behavior and had been reflecting these past few days.

When Sheng Ning wasn’t well-liked before, she still hung out with her. So why now, when Sheng Ning had become a nicer person, was she keeping her distance?
