Chapter 27.2
Editor: Jodi
The next morning, Ning Sheng didn’t go to class, making it so that the desk next to Xu Ling’s was empty.
Group Chat Four Golden Suns
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : Princess didn’t come today?
[Ling] : He caught a cold yesterday, and his fever went up to 39.8 degrees.
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : Has it gone down today?
[Ling] : Yes, it has.
[Ling] : This morning I put the thermometer in warm water, got it up to 40 degrees, took a photo, then sent it to the teacher to get him a day off.
[Math is so great, I love math] : Dummy, shaking it hard can also get it to 40 degrees.
[Math is so great, I love math] : But it wasn’t cold yesterday.
[Ling] : After the morning run, he went to school alone then slept on the desk.
[Ling] : From now on, I won’t let him be alone.
[Math is so great, I love math] : I’ll bring a bag of good questions for him later when I go to check on him.
[AAA Premium Piglet Wholesale] : Then I’ll bring a bag of good pork feet.
[Ning] : Get lost, all of you!!!
“I have something to say.” The class teacher walked in, knocking on the desk.
Xu Ling looked up.
“Certain students have reported recently that seniors are collecting protection fees from juniors and threatening them.” The class teacher said, “If you encounter this, be sure to inform your parents and teachers immediately, don’t silently endure and be bullied.”
The class was very quiet.
“Did you hear me?” The class teacher asked.
Xu Ling: “We! Heard! You!”
“Only you would be so enthusiastic.” The class teacher said. “Class is starting!”
Afraid that his grandma would worry, Ning Sheng decided to stay at Xu Ling’s house until he recovered.
And by the evening, his fever had gone down, however he still had a bit of a cough, and holding Xu Ling’s hot water cup, he sat on the first floor helping Xu Ling’s stepfather watch the shop.
A customer came in.
“How much for a car wash?” The customer asked.
Ning Sheng, looking listless: “Look at the wall.”
“How long will it take?” The customer asked again.
Ning Sheng: “Look at the wall.”
“Little friend.” The customer said helplessly, “Where are your adults?”
Ning Sheng: “Look at the wall.”
The customer: ?”??”
Ning Sheng: “……”
A hand tapped his head gently, then Xu Ling tossed his backpack onto the chair, pulled out a price list from the drawer, handed it over, then pointed to the price list on the wall.
“Big cars are 50, and small cars are 30.” Xu Ling told the customer. “I see you have a compact SUV, so let’s make it 30. My dad’s not here right now, so I’ll wash it for you, but it’ll take about twenty minutes, so you can take a walk and come back later.”
“Alright.” The customer said.
“Where did my dad get the confidence to leave you in charge?” Xu Ling pushed a bowl of sweet eight-treasure porridge over. “If I had come home any later, you’d have run our shop into the ground.”
“If it goes under, this young master will take care of you.” Ning Sheng told him.
Xu Ling: “Really? Then go make some pork rib soup to prove your skills.”
Ning Sheng: “This young master has decided to let you fend for yourself.”
Then Ning Sheng went to the kitchen, got a spoon, then started to eat the eight-treasure porridge Xu Ling brought back slowly.
It was delicious and sweet but not greasy, with a fragrant aroma, beating 99% of the porridge nationwide.
Qing’an Town was small, so small that you could walk around it in half a day, yet the little devil king always managed to find new tasty spots.
In front of the shop, Xu Ling, wearing a baseball cap, held a high-pressure water gun, washing the car.
“How’s this place’s food?” Xu Ling called out.
Ning Sheng: “Delicious.”
Xu Ling: “Save me a couple of bites?”
Ning Sheng: “I’ll leave the bowl for you to lick.”
Xu Ling: “……”
After washing the car, Xu Ling put down the water gun.
And Ning Sheng, lying on the table, played Minesweeper, with half a bowl of eight-treasure porridge left.
“So good?” Xu Ling squeezed over, leaning close to him.
“It’s not for you.” Ning Sheng said back. “I just can’t finish it… Go away! Don’t mess up my hair! Go away!”

Ning Sheng was sick for two days, and when he returned to school, he still had a bit of a cough.
However ever since he got sick, the little devil king seemed to have become clingy. For instance, when he went to the restroom, Xu Ling would follow.
“Do you think I can’t pee by myself?” Ning Sheng said angrily.
Xu Ling: “It’s me who can’t, so keep me company.”
Ning Sheng: “Go away!”
Ning Sheng: “Xu Ling, can you have a little bit of face?”
“Yes.” Xu Ling patted his face, “This is the school heartthrob face that someone got from bribing people with over three hundred cups of milk tea.”
Ning Sheng: “……”
After school, Ning Sheng walked alone, not letting Xu Ling come near.
“What did you do? You just poked a hornet’s nest.” Lu Peng said admiringly.
Xu Ling: “I was afraid he’d catch a cold while napping.”
Li Haoyue: “Princess wouldn’t nap in the restroom.”
Xu Ling: “He was so angry today that he was full of energy. He even raised his hand voluntarily in language class to explain the idiom ‘wolf-hearted and dog-lunged.'”
Lu Peng: “Princess is really powerful.”
Li Haoyue: “……”
“Hold on.” Xu Ling said, “I’ll buy some eight-treasure porridge.”
Then the three of them squeezed into the eight-treasure porridge shop.
However just as Ning Sheng was about to stop and wait for them, someone grabbed his collar then dragged him into a nearby alley.
“I’m a bit short on cash lately.” A tall senior started, “So give me some money.”
Ning Sheng: “?”
Ning Sheng: “How much?”
The senior was stunned: “Twenty?”
Ning Sheng: “That’s not enough.”
The senior: “?”
“You’d be so kind? Then give me fifty, thank you very much.” The senior told him.
“I feel like ninety would be fair.” Ning Sheng thought about it.
The senior: “……?” Was this a gift from nature?
Then——
“Take this punch!” Lu Peng jumped out and punched the senior against the wall.
“Take this kick!” Lu Peng turned to Xu Ling, “I‘m helping you shout the words out loud.”
Xu Ling: “Don’t ruin my aura.”
Then Li Haoyue’s heavy schoolbag flew through the air, ending the fight in a K.O.

At a nearby clinic, the failed robber sobbed as he had his wounds bandaged.
“That’s ninety yuan in total.” The doctor opened his mouth.
Ning Sheng: “Thank you, we’ll pay by card.”
