Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 199: Finding Something to Do During Summer Vacation (3)
Before seven o’clock, all the cleaning was done, and they went out shopping.
They took a cab to the appliance store and after looking around, Ye Nai still chose the same model she used herself, but she didn’t buy it right away. Instead, she planned to come back in a couple of days because if she paid tonight, the delivery could be made tomorrow, but she wasn’t sure if it would be in the morning or afternoon. Moreover, she had something to do tomorrow and couldn’t wait around for the delivery.
After checking the air conditioners, the sisters continued to shop as they walked home. When they saw a bakery offering discounts before closing, Ye Nai bought quite a bit for Yu Jiao’s breakfast and snack.
They shopped and bought things all the way home, and by the time they got there, Yu Qing had finished her classes and was already home.
Ye Nai sat down for a while after entering, ate a couple of slices of melon, and then left. She hadn’t checked out of the hotel, so naturally, she went back there to sleep.
She went downstairs to the shadows in the community where the street lights couldn’t reach, and with "Space Teleportation," she returned to her cool and comfortable hotel room in one second.
She set her alarm clock and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Ye Nai nibbled on the bread she had bought the day before and took a taxi to the junior high school where her two younger brothers studied.
The exam started at eight o’clock, and just after seven, commuting students still hadn’t arrived, and only a few teachers were present. Ye Nai told the gatekeeper that she was there to collect a student’s luggage and was let in.
When she arrived at the dormitory building, she saw a few parents moving luggage, carrying bedding wrapped in sheets on their shoulders, supporting suitcases with their hands, and with nets holding washbasins hanging from their wrists.
With no dormitory supervisor to stop her, Ye Nai went straight upstairs. The boys in the dormitory were all awake, busy washing and packing their belongings. From the beds to the floor, there was a chaotic pile of stuff, leaving no space to even walk.
Seeing Ye Nai standing at the door, the twins were happy.
Ye Nai handed each of them a bag of jam-filled bread she was holding.
"Have you packed your luggage?"
"All packed."
Following the twins’ direction, Ye Nai saw that the bedding was well wrapped and rolled in the sheets, with a travel bag and a net for the basin next to the bed.
"Aren’t you packing your textbooks?"
"No need, we’ll just put them in our backpacks after the exam. We’ll put the summer homework in the bag, and we can carry it ourselves."
"Fine, put the bread in the net, I’ll carry the bedding, and you guys take the travel bag and the net. Let’s leave the school quickly while there are still few people around."
With a bedding roll in each hand, Ye Nai walked out easily.
The twins put away their bread, picked up their things, and followed behind her.
Their dormmates watched them leave with envy.
"Is that bread in their hands?"
"Of course, it’s bread. Haven’t you seen it in the supermarket?"
"Is that really their sister?"
"Should be, they look alike."
"Why is their sister so masculine, with short hair, no chest, no butt, and so tall? I bet she won’t be able to find a boyfriend. I certainly wouldn’t go for that type."
"That sister of theirs interested in mature men for sure. Why are you even worrying? Do you have a crush on her? She’s got money for bread; would she look your way? Can you even afford to be picky?"
"Fuck you, looking for a fight first thing in the morning?"
"Come at me, I’m not afraid of you! I’ve been annoyed by you for a long time, and if I don’t beat you up, I’m a grandson."
The tiny dorm room suddenly erupted into a cacophony of banging and crashing. The space, already a mess, became absolutely chaotic, with everyone’s neatly arranged belongings being kicked around and clothes and books scattered all over the floor.
After shouting failed to break up the fight, everybody simply joined in, escalating into a full-blown dorm-wide brawl.
The final loud crash signaled the end of the fight when an iron bunk bed was pushed over, falling on top of two students and injuring them.
Meanwhile, Ye Nai and her two siblings had already made their way out of the school gates and laid their belongings down by the roadside.
"Alright, head back and focus on your tests. I’ve booked room 303, just go straight there. If I’m not there yet, use the restaurant’s free Wi-Fi to message me. You still have your phones, right? They weren’t stolen, were they?"
"No, no, the phones are here." Both brothers quickly pulled out their phones from their pockets.
"Good, then that’s settled."
"But big sister, did you find the card?"
"No, the card is gone. Ever watched a police drama? Thieves discard and break the phone’s SIM card immediately after a theft. Same goes for you guys. I didn’t ask for the phone back; it’s over now that I’ve made them compensate with cash."
"They agreed to pay?"
"Heh, it was simple. When reasoning fell on deaf ears, I showed them I can throw a punch or two as well."
The twins instinctively glanced at their older sister’s short-sleeved shirt, noticing the strong arms and the shadows of muscles underneath, and swallowed hard.
"Whom did you get the money from?"
"You don’t need to worry about that. Knowing too much isn’t good for you. You might slip up if you’re not careful. This might look like school bullying, but there are adults stirring up the trouble behind the scenes. You guys are just expendable pawns to them, falsely believing you’re some hotshot cronies, such fools. Who would want minors as cronies? Even running errands and delivering goods could land you in trouble."
"What? That really happens?"
"Yep, I heard about it when tracing the stolen phone. There were these two delivery boys who ate the food they were supposed to deliver for their boss because it smelled too good and they got too hungry. After finishing it, they even washed the thermal container and returned it to the boss," Ye Nai relayed the story as if it were true, but who knew if there was any truth to it?
"What happened next? What happened next?" The twins’ eyes widened, eagerly absorbing the gossip.
"What do you think? The person expecting his meal didn’t get it and made a call. The boss then beat those two to a pulp and used them as live stakes."

"What does that mean, ’live stakes’? Are they dead?"
"It means sacrificing a live person by burying them in the foundation pit of a construction site when they can’t lay the foundation. Boys your age are best, overflowing with yang energy."
"...!!!"
The twins were stunned.
"Adults don’t play house with you. If you touch their interests, they don’t care if you’re underage. To them, you’re something to be disposed of. If you want to graduate safely next year, focus on your studies and improve your grades next term. Students with good grades get the teachers’ attention, and the school bullies won’t dare to mess with them. If they do, it could affect the school’s college admission rates, anger the school, and the school won’t tolerate them. Their methods of dealing with troublemakers are a lot more ruthless than any gang’s, and they’re all perfectly legal."
The twins remembered many of their classmates being harassed, but none of the top ten students in their class, be it boys or girls, had any trouble. At most, they were called nerds, and most students didn’t want to hang out with them. It seemed like ostracism, but from another angle, wasn’t it because the bullies didn’t dare provoke the school and risk its wrath?
"Oh—I get it now, big sister!"
"Alright, it’s almost 7:30 now. Pick up the bread and hurry back."
The twins glanced at the time on their phones, grabbed the bread from the net pocket, and ran off quickly.
Ye Nai hailed a passing taxi, put her luggage in the trunk one by one, and tucked each item into Space as she let them go.
The taxi went straight to the hotel. When the driver opened the trunk for her, Ye Nai paid the fare, got out, walked around to the back of the car, and closed the trunk.
The driver didn’t think much of it, assuming she had taken everything out, and drove off once the trunk indicator light went off.
