Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Qing soon used up all the ointment. Tan Rou did not mind. She put away the bottle of ointment and said that she would give them a new one tomorrow.
“Xiao Rou, 1 want to go to the toilet. Do you and Tiantian want to go together?” Li Li grabbed a bag of tissues and planned to go to the toilet before standing up.
Tan Rou didn’t want to go to the toilet, but she could go over and wash her hands. The ointment that she used earlier were oily and she had to wash the oiliness away. “Okay, I’ll go wash my hands.”
“I need to go to the toilet too.” Tian Tian raised her hand.
The three girls went to the toilet. The two boys discussed for a while and decided to buy some cold drinks to eat. They would buy more and treat everyone to a meal.
Once they left, they stopped looking at the things. They thought that since this was a university, no one would steal anything. They didn’t expect that in just a few minutes, Tan Ron’s bag would be stolen.
As soon as Tan Rou came back, she found that her bag had been rummaged through. She squatted down to check if there was anything missing, only to find that the pills in the light-colored jar had been stolen.
“Xiao Rou, what’s wrong? Is there anything missing?” Li Li asked with concern.
Tan Ron’s expression was very serious. “The things in my jar were stolen.”
“All?” Li Li also squatted down to take a look. She saw an empty jar. “1 remember there were a lot of pills in this jar back then. Why is there not a single one now?”
When Tian Tian heard that Tan Ron’s things had been stolen, she shouted, “Did anyone see what was in Rourou’s jar?”
The people around said they didn’t see it.
Tan Rou packed her bag and said loudly, “If anyone has any clues, please let me know. 1 would just like to say that if you want it, 1 don’t mind giving it to you if you ask nicely. If you steal it when I’m not around, that isn’t very nice of you to do so.”
She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Nini. She stole a glance at Tan Rou and then lowered her head guiltily.
Still, no one admitted to taking the pills. Tan Rou didn’t pursue the matter. She said, “Since no one admitted to it, I don’t want to say anything more. I hope the person who stole it would think carefully before doing something like this in the future.”
Nini felt even more guilty. She had overheard their conversation, so she wanted to see if the pill and ointment worked. Although the ointment was gone, the pill was still there, so she took one and put it in her mouth. The pill tasted like milk, and it was sweet and delicious.
Because there was no ointment, Nini took a few more pills. She thought it would be better.
“Nini, do you know where Tan Ron’s things went?” Chen Yao asked when she saw Nini’s strange expression.
“How would 1 know where her things went?” Nini shouted out guiltily. “She didn’t put her things away properly and someone else stole them. What does it have to do with me? I didn’t take her things, and I don’t know who stole her things.”
“Nini, why are you so angry?” Chen Yao asked. “I’m just asking you. 1 didn’t say you stole it.”
“I didn’t steal anything!” Nini shouted.
Tan Rou walked over. “1 didn’t say you stole it. Why are you shouting so loudly? Could it be that you’re feeling guilty?”
Nini’s eyes drifted. “I… Why would 1 feel guilty? 1 didn’t steal your things. If you lost your things, then go look for them. Moreover, there are so many people here. Why are you staring at me?”
“I hope you didn’t see it.” Tan Rou didn’t want to waste her breath on her.
“Xiao Rou, should we tell the counselor about this?” Li Li didn’t want to let it go just like that. Tan Rou must have prepared those things for a long time. How heartbroken would it be if they were stolen all at once?
“There are no surveillance cameras here. It’s useless even if we find a counselor.” Tan Rou replied, “Don’t worry about it. 1 still have a lot of these pills at home. Next time, we can just eat them at home. There’s no need to bring them here.”
“Don’t let me catch that thief. Otherwise, 1’11 beat him up.”
Nini panicked. She felt her heart beating very fast and her breathing was short. However, she thought about it and realized that there were no surveillance cameras here. As long as she didn’t admit it, Tan Rou wouldn’t find out that she took the pills.
Moreover, Tan Ron’s pills were indeed effective. She felt a chill as soon as she took them. Her burning throat no longer hurt. She had to take a few more in a while..
