Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Not to Watch Her Run Laps

Shen Nian’s heart began to race as she spoke. ’Lu Xinyue rushed over in such a panic,’ she thought. ’Something must have happened!’

After catching her breath, Lu Xinyue stood up and looked at Shen Nian. Seeing the anxious expression on her face, Lu Xinyue quickly waved her hands.

"No, nothing’s wrong. Nothing happened at home."

Lu Cheng frowned beside Shen Nian. ’Getting this worked up over nothing... Can’t she see she’s scaring Shen Nian?’

"Speak clearly. What’s going on?"

Lu Xinyue was taken aback by Lu Cheng’s cold tone. ’Yikes, Big Brother is so stern! Sister-in-law is so much nicer!’

"It’s not about family matters. Your school sent a notice, Sister-in-law. They want all the students who took the college entrance exam to come back to school today. I came to let you know."

Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief. ’As long as nothing happened at home, it’s fine.’

"You ran all this way just for that? Even if the Shen family doesn’t have a phone, you could have called the village office and had someone pass along the message!"

"Well, I was worried the message wouldn’t be relayed properly, so I decided to come myself. Besides, it’s not that far. I’ll just count it as exercise!"

Lu Xinyue mimed jogging in place as she spoke. ’She knew her big brother too well. If she didn’t calm her sister-in-law down, he would definitely hold this against her!’

’Besides, she also wanted to go to the school with Shen Nian and see what was going on!’

"You silly girl. Come on in and rest for a bit."

Since Lu Xinyue had come over with this news, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng were naturally in no rush to head back to the Lu Family home.

"Oh my, what happened? Xinyue, dear, why are you covered in sweat?"

Miao Cuifen had spotted Shen Nian and Lu Cheng the moment they came back through the door with someone else in tow, and she hurried over to greet them.

As she approached, she saw Lu Xinyue, who was drenched in sweat. She recognized her, of course—Lu Xinyue was her daughter’s sister-in-law. Besides, during the incident at Qin Xueling’s house, Lu Xinyue had firmly sided with Shen Nian, which made Miao Cuifen quite fond of the young woman.

"Auntie, I just came to give my sister-in-law a message. It’s nothing serious."

"What was so urgent? Come on, sit down and rest for a minute."

Miao Cuifen urged Lu Xinyue to sit down, and Shen Nian poured her a glass of water, not forgetting to add a drop of Spiritual Spring Water before bringing it over.

"Here, have some water."

"Thanks, Sister-in-law!"

Lu Xinyue was truly parched. She took the water from Shen Nian and gulped it all down in one go. When she finished, she let out a long, contented sigh.

"Sister-in-law, this water you poured is delicious! I feel like I’ve gotten all my energy back. I could run another couple of laps, no problem!"

"Alright, that’s enough from you. Didn’t you say we need to go to the school? Rest for a little while, then we can head over."

Shen Nian gave Lu Xinyue a helpless look. ’She hadn’t given her the Spiritual Spring Water just to watch her run laps.’

"Then let’s go now! I’m all rested!"

Lu Xinyue stood up. ’Before, I was genuinely tired,’ she thought, ’but after that glass of water, I’m not tired at all.’

"I want to go too!"

Shen Xiangnan had sidled over when Lu Xinyue arrived. Hearing that she was going to the school with Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, he immediately piped up.

"What are you trying to get in on?"

"You’re going to your school, aren’t you, Sis? I’ll just tag along and take a look. Besides, I’ll be attending your school next semester anyway. Think of it as me getting familiar with the campus ahead of time!"

With all the commotion from Lu Xinyue and Shen Xiangnan, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, who had originally planned to head home, ended up changing their plans. And now, they had two tagalongs trailing behind them.
