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. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXiao Rou, 1 want to go to the toilet. Do you and Tiantian want to go together?â Li Li grabbed a bag of tissues and planned to go to the toilet before standing up.
Tan Rou didnât 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. âOkay, Iâll go wash my hands.â
âI need to go to the toilet too.â 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 didnât expect that in just a few minutes, Tan Ronâs 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.
âXiao Rou, whatâs wrong? Is there anything missing?â Li Li asked with concern.
Tan Ronâs expression was very serious. âThe things in my jar were stolen.â
âAll?â Li Li also squatted down to take a look. She saw an empty jar. â1 remember there were a lot of pills in this jar back then. Why is there not a single one now?â
When Tian Tian heard that Tan Ronâs things had been stolen, she shouted, âDid anyone see what was in Rourouâs jar?â
The people around said they didnât see it.
Tan Rou packed her bag and said loudly, âIf anyone has any clues, please let me know. 1 would just like to say that if you want it, 1 donât mind giving it to you if you ask nicely. If you steal it when Iâm not around, that isnât very nice of you to do so.â
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 didnât pursue the matter. She said, âSince no one admitted to it, I donât want to say anything more. I hope the person who stole it would think carefully before doing something like this in the future.â
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.
âNini, do you know where Tan Ronâs things went?â Chen Yao asked when she saw Niniâs strange expression.
âHow would 1 know where her things went?â Nini shouted out guiltily. âShe didnât put her things away properly and someone else stole them. What does it have to do with me? I didnât take her things, and I donât know who stole her things.â
âNini, why are you so angry?â Chen Yao asked. âIâm just asking you. 1 didnât say you stole it.â
âI didnât steal anything!â Nini shouted.
Tan Rou walked over. â1 didnât say you stole it. Why are you shouting so loudly? Could it be that youâre feeling guilty?â
Niniâs eyes drifted. âI⦠Why would 1 feel guilty? 1 didnât 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?â
âI hope you didnât see it.â Tan Rou didnât want to waste her breath on her.
âXiao Rou, should we tell the counselor about this?â Li Li didnât 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?
âThere are no surveillance cameras here. Itâs useless even if we find a counselor.â Tan Rou replied, âDonât worry about it. 1 still have a lot of these pills at home. Next time, we can just eat them at home. Thereâs no need to bring them here.â
âDonât let me catch that thief. Otherwise, 1â11 beat him up.â
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 didnât admit it, Tan Rou wouldnât find out that she took the pills.
Moreover, Tan Ronâs 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..
