Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 435 - 13: Wang Yunxiao, I Want to Eat Hotpot

At the stroke of midnight, thunder rolled in the sky, and the downpour resumed.

Wang Yunxiao suddenly opened his eyes, climbed out of bed, and walked to the window, looking toward the school gate.

"What’s up, big bro?"

Youtiao, groggy, lifted his head to ask.

"There’s noise from military vehicles."

"Did they bring more canned luncheon meat?"

"You dream too much! Always thinking of goodies!"

Youtiao rubbed his eyes, grabbed his glasses, and hurried to the windowsill to take a look, but the heavy rain made it impossible to see anything clearly.

"What can you see?"

"It’s not about seeing, it’s about hearing, the cylinder noise doesn’t sound like it’s from the Qilin Army’s vehicles."

"?"

Youtiao looked bewilderedly at Wang Yunxiao, "Big bro, what are you talking about?"

"It’s nothing. Keep sleeping, I’ll go take a look."

With his sleepy mind, Youtiao was not in the best shape to understand the subtle differences, and Wang Yunxiao felt there was no need to explain them to him further.

They usually rode in the Qilin Army’s military vehicles, with their new chassis and new engines that had been clearly recently manufactured, probably all new equipment uniformly replaced after a battle in Tianmen.

The vehicles at the school gate now, however, sounded like an eighty-year-old man with end-stage pulmonary tuberculosis; slamming the brakes might just send the wheels flying out two miles, but he didn’t know where they had come from.

Wang Yunxiao dressed and went out, arriving at the staircase just as Li Mumu was also coming down from the girls’ dormitory upstairs, still wearing slippers.

"Mumu, haven’t you gone to sleep yet?"

"Don’t call me Mumu!"

Li Mumu glared at Wang Yunxiao.

She thought, ’Sleep? I’m more lively at night than in the daytime!’

The boarding conditions in the school were certainly not as good as at home, but there were benefits, like the library filled with newspapers, magazines, and books available for lending.

Since it was summer vacation and no one was supervising, Li Mumu took the library keys and browsed as she pleased, even skipping the borrowing registration process.

There was no electricity in the dormitory, so she had even run an electric cable and bought a lamp.

As long as the money was right, none of this was a problem.

Now, everyone in Qinghe Middle School from Principal Zhou to the security uncle at the gate gave Eldest Miss Li extra leniency. As long as you didn’t come to school with a bomb to blow things up, everything else was negotiable.

Even if you did blow it up, it wouldn’t matter; they’d just call your dad over to refurbish everything.

Actually, Li Mumu didn’t mind if people called her Mumu, but hearing those two syllables from Wang Yunxiao always made her feel like she was being taken advantage of.

Her family wouldn’t understand; every word from the men downstairs carried a whiff of ’daddy...’

Just kidding.

It’s mainly that Wang Yunxiao was already used to being the big brother and taking care of his younger siblings, so his tone unconsciously came off as commanding.

And Li Mumu was not having any of it. Who decided to recognize him as the big brother? Shouldn’t he accept his role and willingly be her follower?

"Mumu."

"I’ll scratch you!"

Li Mumu raised her claws, threatening fiercely.

Wang Yunxiao nonchalantly stepped back a few steps, eyes on Li Mumu’s eyes, "Mumu?"

Then he turned and ran.

The next instant, Li Mumu’s claw brushed past the back of his head.

’Lucky you’re fast! Mess with me again, and believe it or not, I’ll scoop out your brains and toss them into a hot pot!’

The two began to chase one another down the stairs, too focused on their playful pursuit to notice the silence of their footsteps.

Wang Yunxiao reached the building entrance and instantly saw Principal Zhou and Nurse Liu standing there. He quickly grabbed Li Mumu and signaled her to hush.

The two of them hid in a dark corner and looked outside.

The disorganized sound of footsteps came through the heavy rain.

Seconds later, a big man, drenched like a drowned rat, strode into the building from the rain curtain, took off his military cap to shake off the water, saw Principal Zhou, and immediately stood at attention to salute, saying loudly, "Reporting to the commander! Under the Tiger King Army of the Northeast Military Region, the 246th Regiment..."

"Shut up!"

Principal Zhou’s rebuke brought the man’s robust voice to an abrupt halt.

"What are you yelling about, it’s the middle of the night, and there are still students sleeping."

"Students? Isn’t it summer vacation? Then we..."

The big man scratched the back of his head, puzzled, "If there are students, can we still stay here?"

"I’ve arranged it for you, what are you worried about? The classrooms on the second floor are all empty, they’re all reserved for you, hurry and let everyone inside!"

"Alright then!"

The big man chuckled dumbly and turned back into the rain curtain.

It wasn’t long before orderly footsteps sounded from outside.

Platoons of female soldiers, carrying luggage and wearing raincoats, broke through the night and the rain curtain, entering into the school building.

Wang Yunxiao held his breath, silently watching this scene unfold.

At this moment, his mood suddenly became incredibly relaxed.

He knew he could go back to the dorm like an ordinary student and sleep soundly, no longer having to bear the lonely duty of saving the world like the protagonist in a Hollywood movie.

Our army has arrived.

We have many troops.

Our army is endless.

When one is in trouble, help may come from all sides.

The female officer leading the platoon, upon seeing Principal Zhou, seemed to have been reminded, and spoke in a subdued voice, "Hello, commander, I am Vice President Jiang Xiuyun of Jinzhou Army Hospital, reporting to you with my 64 subordinates of medical staff, following us on the road are Comrades 703 and 704, they will arrive by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Principal Zhou nodded, "You all must be exhausted from traveling overnight, go rest first. This is Comrade Liu Zhihan, our school’s school nurse, who will arrange accommodation for you. Be as quiet as possible, there are students sleeping upstairs."

Wang Yunxiao quickly pulled Mumu aside. A few seconds later, Nurse Liu passed by them, turned her head, and glared fiercely at them, "Hurry back to sleep! Don’t disclose any military secrets!"

Wang Yunxiao nodded vigorously and made a gesture of locking lips which drew a round of low laughter from the medical staff nearby.

Someone whispered in the ranks, "Sneaking out in the middle of the night to date..."

This was a huge misunderstanding.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t yet have a way to explain, these sorts of issues simply couldn’t be clarified.

Mumu hid behind him, pinching hard at the flesh on his waist with two fingers.

After everyone had gone upstairs, Mumu spoke through clenched teeth, "Wang Yunxiao, I want to eat hotpot!"

"Ah? Now?"

Wang Yunxiao had never heard such an unreasonable request before.

It’s not like you’re in the Imperial Palace, thinking you can have hotpot in the middle of the night! Even the Emperor doesn’t get such treatment!

"I don’t care, I want to eat hotpot! And I want the spicy broth!"

I’ll scoop out your brains!

Mumu gritted her teeth, why did you come out in the middle of the night if you weren’t going to sleep, just to see what’s happening?

I don’t sleep because I’ve been used to staying up late since I was young, why aren’t you sleeping? Did the soy-sauced beef give you indigestion?

Principal Zhou walked over, looked at Wang Yunxiao indifferently, and said, "Not sleeping, huh? Go carry two boxes of canned lunch meat back here."

Wang Yunxiao was stunned.

That’s no way to spoil a kid!

She wants to eat hotpot and you’re suggesting bringing her two boxes of canned meat?
