Reject These Three

In the morning, Xia Yu, who got up at eight o'clock, came to the kitchen looking for his breakfast, but there was none on the table or in the refrigerator.

Closing the refrigerator door, Xia Yu saw a note stuck on it.

"Bad brother, no breakfast! (see the back)"

Turning the note over, Xia Yu saw another line of words.

"The bread is below, take it out and heat it up before eating."

Opening the door to the freezer compartment below the refrigerator, Xia Yu found the bread.

The bread was very cold.

Holding the bread, Xia Yu watched a movie on the sofa in the living room while eating his breakfast.

Having spent two hours, it was already ten in the morning when Xia Yu arrived at Yin Shulan's place.

Yin Shulan was preparing lunch.

Xia Yu threw the vegetables he was tidying up in his hand: "What are you cooking? Pick up Lingling and eat out at noon."

He was just trying to avoid cooking chores.

From the kitchen's rabbits, he selected two plump ones and brought them to the experimental table in the yard.

Tying the rabbits up, Xia Yu took out his cell phone, which he had bought when he went to the town before.

Because of this, Yin Shulan had worried for a long time, but as the money was all made by Xia Yu, she didn't nag too much.

On the web page, Xia Yu downloaded an ancient prescription book.

Because ancient prescriptions are no longer of much use, they can be easily found online.

Whether it has any effect or not doesn't matter to Xia Yu, as long as it can be used to brush up on his skills.

Moreover, the records in the book were much more detailed than what Yin Shulan had told him, clearly stating how many grams, no need to guess how much a little bit is.

Although the amounts stated in the book were meant for humans, animals are humans' best friends, so applying them to rabbits shouldn't be a problem.

Having only used a little of his experience card last time, Xia Yu continued and started brushing up on his skill level.

By twelve o'clock noon, when it was time to pick up Yin Ling, Xia Yu had already raised his alchemy level to lv2.

This time, the knowledge of basic pharmacology and how to combine ingredients appeared in his mind.

After settling the rabbits, Xia Yu rode his GT motorcycle and headed to the small town.

When he arrived at the school gate, the school bell had already rung five minutes ago.

He was driving a bit slow as he pondered about the next experimental prescription.

However, five minutes was not enough for girls to just talk a little, no problem, most of the students had not come out yet.

Sitting on the GT motorcycle, Xia Yu continued to think about the next experimental prescription.

Maybe he should try restorative medicine? He thought of the pale-faced Yin Wan in the west wing room.

However, those rabbits were rounded and meaty, and he couldn't tell the difference even if they were supplemented.

He decided to go home and starve two rabbits for three days.

After making up his mind, Xia Yu relaxed and looked around.

The parents who had come to pick up their children, like Xia Yu, were somewhat guilty and looked elsewhere.

While Xia Yu was contemplating, these people had been staring at him.

An old lady dressed in leather, riding a GT motorcycle, was the focus of attention wherever she went.

Yin Shulan looked a bit fierce naturally, plus Xia Yu's attire and his unintentionally strong demeanor made him appear even more formidable than the local ruffians.

People around all kept a distance from Yin Shuyu.

Xia Yu was pleased with this, so that his precious granddaughter wouldn't have trouble finding him after school.

However, after all the other parents left with their children, Xia Yu still hadn't seen Yin Ling come out.

He waited for another three minutes, and just when he was considering going in to check, Yin Ling walked out.

"Why are you so late?" Xia Yu grabbed the girl's hand.

The feeling transmitted through his soul's perception from Yin Ling's body was very comfortable, which was one of the reasons why Xia Yu liked her so much.

The fact that she looked somewhat like his old friend An Siyao had nothing to do with it.

"I was talking with my classmates for a while." Yin Ling said.

It was a normal reason, and Xia Yu didn't pay much attention to it. He led Yin Ling to a restaurant.

The sound of the GT scooter attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

As the white-haired rider entered, they were all still stunned.

Were old ladies nowadays so trendy?

The waiter was the first to react, coming up to Yin Shuyu and handing her a menu.

There were very few dishes on the menu, and even if all of them were served, it would only fill a table.

"Is this all you have?" Xia Yu, who was accustomed to big hotels, was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hey, this is all we have, just a small business." The waiter responded, but thought to himself: you can't eat that many dishes, yet you still complain about not having enough.

By this time, Xia Yu had already browsed the menu and started to order. He pointed to the dishes on the menu and said:

"This one, this one, and this one."

Seeing that Xia Yu was pointing at fried chives, stir-fried vegetables, and fried rice, the waiter sneered in his heart, complaining about the lack of dishes while ordering only these three items.

"Alright, so just these three, right?" He straightened his neck, ready to tell the kitchen what to prepare.

At this moment, Xia Yu shook his head: "No, don't get these three. Bring one of each of the others."

"Huh?" Not only the waiter, but all the other diners around were also looking at Xia Yu in astonishment.

"I'll taste them all and see what's delicious." Xia Yu took out a red banknote, "I'll pay you first."

Seeing Xia Yu really paying, the waiter and the diners' gazes turned into admiration. The old lady wearing leather clothes and riding a motorcycle, even having a meal was so extravagant.

As Xia Yu was a large customer, the dishes were quickly served. After tasting a couple of bites, Xia Yu lost interest in the food from the remote area.

Yin Ling, on the other hand, ate happily. Even during the New Year, she couldn't eat as many dishes as she did now.

They spent half an hour on the meal, and when they were about to leave, Yin Ling was still reluctant to part with the half-eaten dishes.

Because she was too full, Yin Ling couldn't climb onto the GT scooter by herself, so Xia Yu had to lift her up.

When they arrived at the school, Xia Yu parked the motorcycle and watched Yin Ling walk towards the school.

He hadn't noticed anything when they were walking together earlier, but now looking at Yin Ling's back, Xia Yu felt something was off.

He got off the motorcycle, rushed over, and grabbed Yin Ling's hand.

"What's wrong with your leg?" Xia Yu noticed that Yin Ling was walking with a limp.

"I bumped it on a stool." Yin Ling's eyes were a bit evasive.

"How did you bump it?" Xia Yu narrowed his eyes.

Under his questioning, Yin Ling finally told the truth.

He was a top student in the class. Yesterday, he saw her eating candy and asked her to bring some as a tribute today, but she didn't. That's why there was a conflict.

"She didn't do it on purpose. In order to beg me not to tell anyone, she even gave me three candies." Yin Ling took out three candies from her pocket, her face filled with unease, afraid that Xia Yu would confiscate her candies.

"I'll buy you candy. You can't condone this kind of bullying." Holding Yin Ling's hand, Xia Yu followed her into the school.

The security guard wanted to stop them, but was intimidated by Xia Yu's gaze, and sat back down on the bench, pretending not to have seen anything.
