Chapter 141: Were You Bullied?

She was too strong. If she hadn’t grabbed the door frame in time and swung back, she would have almost bumped into his arms. Even so, Rong Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw Ning Xiaoxiao’s face suddenly approach and bounce back. She really had a way to break his calm in all kinds of strange ways.

Xiaoxiao used her arm as a buffer and swayed back and forth twice. “Little Big Brother All Yan hasn’t had breakfast yet, right? There are Ruyi buns left in the kitchen.”

Rong Yan really couldn’t understand her strange behavior, but he still explained his purpose. “I’m here to tell everyone that we’re going into the mountains in the next few days and won’t be able to return anytime soon.”

He had to inform them when he was on a long trip. Otherwise, wouldn’t it cause trouble for others if they had prepared their own food for nothing?

Xiaoxiao finally stood still and clapped her hands to bring him to the kitchen. “Let’s eat first.”

“But won’t you miss Shen Tianci’s birthday? Will you be able to come back before the 15th?”

Rong Yan had no intention of going. He had yet to find out Shen Congjun’s personality, so how could he expose himself rashly? His trip today was to go to the Luo Prefecture again and let Yun Yi and the others gather more accurate information about the dam. However, he naturally could not tell Ning Xiaoxiao about this.

“Yes, what a coincidence.”

Yun Yi finished his sentence for him. “The main thing is that if we don’t go today, it might rain in a few days. The rain will continue, and it will delay our chance to enter the mountain for dozens of days. Last time, I saw a few very precious herbs in the northern mountains. Later, I drew a map and went to the pharmacy to ask. We can pick them in the mountains this time.”

This was a big matter that concerned their livelihood. Xiaoxiao did not come up with any ideas and only told them to be careful. Then, she went to the kitchen to organize a pile of barbecue ingredients and even took a bamboo basket of oil paper bags. “1 just made this. It can be brought along to eat on the way. It’s just that it’s easy to flatten it and it will affect the taste. Try one?”

Xiaoxiao opened one and handed it over. Yun Yi was immediately attracted by the fluffiness and fragrance. “What new snack is this?”

Xiaoxiao raised her chin proudly. “It’s a birthday gift I made for Shen Tianci. It’s called sponge cake, but he’s not lucky enough to eat it. Do you want to bring it with you?”

Rong Yan stuffed the barbecue ingredients into Yun Yi’s hands, took the sponge cake, and bit into it. “Thank you.”

Xiaoxiao handed the entire basket to him. “If you like it, I’ll make it for you when we get back.”

Yun Yi was speechless. Just now, Master seemed to have said that he wanted to set off lightly and not bring any extra things. Before he came, he specially reminded them not to trouble Miss Ning and not to keep asking for other people’s things…

Rong Yan’s gaze drifted over, and Yun Yi immediately looked away obediently. Forget it, he misunderstood.

He could understand. After all, Miss Ning’s snacks were so delicious. They were indeed much more attractive than those bought outside. Not to mention Master, even they would not find it troublesome to carry them on their way.

With this thought in mind, he watched helplessly as his master, who couldn’t even be bothered to carry his own bag, personally carried the bamboo basket and ate it every few steps. He didn’t give any to them!!!

Master was even more protective of his food than before!

He, who was aggrieved, had to report properly. “The person Miss Ning offended in the county yesterday is called Lei Shaoming. Coincidentally, he’s the nephew of the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, Lei Wanjun. This person wants to enter the Bowen Academy, but he can’t get County Magistrate Shen’s recommendation letter, so he plans to find an opportunity to become famous outside the academy.”

“Miss Ning happened to bump into him. Lei Shaoming wanted to bully Miss Ning as a soft persimmon, but he was repelled. He has been asking around about Miss Ning since yesterday.”

Rong Yan said coldly, “He is just the nephew of the restaurant manager, but she can do whatever she wants in the county.. Has she been bullied?”
