### Chapter 170: Xiao Ning Flies Back Overnight
“I got it.”
That was Xia Yu’s response.
To Jiang Hanhan’s surprise, Xia Yu accepted so quickly she thought Xia Yu would be upset and Xia Ling would come over to pinch her again. But Xia Yu accepted it right away.
Well, that’s good. It shows Xia Yu isn’t such a hard person to deal with after all.
With this thought, Jiang Hanhan immediately stopped fearing Xia Ling. After all, she wasn’t being mean to Xia Yu, just teaching her something. Xia Ling had no reason to come pinch her cheeks as punishment.
And that’s exactly how it played out. Xia Ling, who had been ready to pinch Jiang Hanhan, realized there was no reason to do so. Even if Jiang Hanhan had protected her and Xia Yu with the reputation of the Jiang family, there’s still some things you have to do—especially when dealing with someone whose face feels pretty darn nice.
Jiang Hanhan started to get fired up and continued talking to Xia Yu, “So, do you want me to send you some books and materials on how to be a good secretary? Then you can secretly work hard and surprise my sister?”
“Sure!”
Xia Yu responded without hesitation, because she agreed with what Jiang Hanhan said. She needed these things to improve herself and didn’t want to be just a useless person needing constant care anymore.
“Alright, I’ll have them sent to your place once we go back. But whether you can keep it up depends on you,” Jiang Hanhan said with a nod.
Watching them talk, Xia Ling was at a loss for words.
Yes, Xia Ling didn’t want Xia Yu to be Jiang Kenong’s bad secretary because it felt like losing a sister all over again. But seeing Xia Yu’s enthusiasm and interest, she couldn’t bring herself to dissuade her.
Wandering around, they found themselves in front of the first girls’ dormitory building. Just like before, there was a guard to watch over the entrance and stop any boys from sneaking in.
But this time, the guard wasn’t an old man but an old woman. “Stop! You can’t come in.”
Sure enough, when the old woman saw Xia Yu, she stopped her from entering. There were two reasons:
Firstly, Xia Yu was wearing boys’ school uniform.
Secondly, after Xia Yu went to the girls’ toilets last time, the school leaders had instructed teachers and staff not to let Xia Yu sneak into female-exclusive areas.
Identifying Xia Yu was also straightforward. If you saw a girl in boy’s uniform in the campus, that’d be her.
Right now, the old lady sternly halted the three and glared at Xia Yu. “This is girls’ dormitory; boys aren’t allowed in.” Rumors travel fast, and Xia Yu’s bad reputation had surely reached the old lady, making her dislike Xia Yu understandable.
But Xia Yu was used to this kind of treatment and only feared the strict old lady, not feeling too embarrassed.
Before Xia Yu could explain, Xia Ling took the initiative and spoke up, “Auntie, I need to move stuff to my room. I want my…brother and sister to help me. Can you make an exception?”
“Move stuff? Where? You’re not going to school?”
“Moving to my place. The school arranged a room for me near the teacher’s housing. It’s too lonely living alone, so I want her to live there with me. Okay?”
At that moment, Jiang Hanhan bravely stepped forward to support Xia Ling. Perhaps it was because the old lady didn’t speak nicely to Xia Yu, but she felt no fondness towards the gatekeeper either.
The gatekeeper looked at Xia Yu and Xia Ling, then glanced at Jiang Hanhan. She didn’t ask much more and returned to her air-conditioned booth to call her superior and verify their story.
The group didn’t rush and hid under the shade of a big tree. They hoped the old lady would settle things fast. After some time, the old lady finally escorted them back to their rooms, saying, “Be quick about it.”
So, Xia Yu finally made it into the first girls’ dormitory.
She stood out in the bright blue boys’ uniform. Sure enough, she caught many curious glances from passing girls.
The building housed young elementary school girls, and Xia Yu had caused a stir in class fifteen yesterday. They had no choice but to know her now. Fortunately, Xia Ling’s dorm was on the second floor, so Xia Yu wouldn’t be too stressed.
As they entered the females’ dorm, they noticed a pleasant aroma of shampoo wafting through the cool air conditioning—a stark contrast from the sweaty stench on the male side.
Ignoring the astonished girls watching Xia Yu’s arrival, Xia Ling led Xia Yu and Jiang Hanhan to her bed.
“Little Ling, are you moving out?”
It was Huang Qiao, the class monitor, who asked. She shared the same dorm as Xia Ling and was still uneasy about outing Xia Ling yesterday.
Clearly, Xia Jing’s cold treatment toward her hurt. Hence, Huang Qiao felt that her discomfort stemmed from that.
Seeing every chance, she wanted to reconcile with Xia Ling.
For Huang Qiao, Xia Yu was clearly wrong for reporting her friend. Xia Ling couldn’t forgive their actions, no matter what.
As they packed, Xia Hanhan couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Alright, we will ignore them from now on. Aren’t they just passersby?”
Hearing this, Xia Ling’s expression softened. “Hmm.”
Arriving at the teacher’s housing, they were informed that the guards would no longer stop anyone. So, they smoothly reached room 302.
“This is a two-bedroom one-bathroom unit. Xia Ling, Xia Yu, choose where to sleep. I’ll take the other room,” Jiang Hanhan offered.
Xia Ling, who didn’t mind, picked a room and led the way.
Placing the chair on the unoccupied bed, and tossing the AC covers onto it, Xia Ling and Jiang Hanhan finally sat to rest. Xia Yu seemed to be in a hurry, rushing off to the bathroom.
Then, it dawned on Xia Ling that Xia Yu hadn’t used the toilet all day.
With Xia Yu’s access to the girls’ bathroom limited and the boys’ bathroom being risky, she didn’t know what to do.
Taking advantage of the break, Jiang Hanhan messaged her sister, “Sis, the school originally arranged for Xia Yu to stay in the boys’ dorm, now I’ve brought her to stay with me.”
Jiang Kenong: “Great. I’m still on a plane, will be there tonight.”
Jiang Hanhan: “Should I tell Xia Yu?”
Jiang Kenong: “No, just keep an eye on her for me.”
Jiang Hanhan: “Alright, but I should warn you, Xia Yu isn’t very popular in school right now. Prepare yourself.”
Jiang Kenong: “I understand.”
Putting down her phone, Jiang Kenong gazed out the window, worrying deeply.
Even she hadn’t expected Xia Yu to cause so much trouble in just two days at the new school.
The protector’s report suggested that it involved Lin Jie and the Peng City Three Greats, causing even more worry.
So, Jiang Kenong had to use her clandestine connections, unknown even to her father, Jiang Bin, in order to unfreeze her ID and return home skillfully shaking off numerous guards.
Jiang Bin sighed upon hearing about Jiang Kenong’s situation, realizing his daughter had grown beyond his grasp.
When Jiang Kenong finally arrived at Demon City Airport on schedule and returned to the Jiang family safely, she faced her father, Jiang Bin. He scoldedly said she was blinded by Xia Yu and couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.
Jiang Kenong remained silent, allowing him to vent. Tomorrow, she would head to Peng City to find Xia Yu.
At the same time, news of the genius Young Lady Jiang Kenong hastily returning from overseas training circulated among the major families, fueling their curiosity.
