Chapter 60 – You’re stingy (Part 1)
In the end, An Mingxuan didn’t succeed in entering the military area. But he was really unwilling to give up, so he still called to confirm Lin Mumu’s safety and her condition. Then, he went to the military hospital to ask the doctor about Lin Mumu’s injuries.
After investigating, An Mingxuan also discovered how the matter blew up, and that the affair had now grew into an even bigger matter. But Wang Chong’s death by a poisonous insect’s bite was completely odd no matter how one looked at it.
As the representative of Beijing University, Professor Lin was taken by Yun Ting to the heart of the students’ camp in order to let him see Lin Mumu with his own eyes.
It’s just a pity that the old Daoist priest had regained his enlightened and immortal bearing. He merely looked at Lin Mumu from far away through an open curtain, and then left quietly after making sure she was alright. He didn’t even meet Lin Mumu at all.
As for Yun Ting’s earnest hope of personally inspecting Lin Mumu’s body, it was completely shattered away by Cheng Fangya.
Because she had a very strong sense of loyalty and sisterhood, she had been very worried about Lin Mumu. From the moment her friend was taken into Yun Ting’s tent, she had been continuously standing guard nearby, and also heard with her own ears Yun Ting ordering Xiao Gao to call her over to keep Lin Mumu company.
In the end, Xiao Gao didn’t even need to go very far and easily found Chen Fangya. When Yun Ting went to see Professor Lin, she directly came into the tent by herself to watch over Lin Mumu. Cheng Fangya didn’t even go back to pack her luggage, and instead, asked Liu Yuanyuan and An Xiaoqin to help get it for her.
Lin Mumu’s roommates were very worried about her, so after she woke up, Xiao Du could only let An Xiaoqin and Liu Yuanyuan into the tent to chat with her. However, the two girls had a sense of property and only came to chat during the day but didn’t stay the night with them.
Another thing they were worried about was Lin Mumu being alone in a tent with Yun Ting, which would lead to unnecessary gossip by the people.
Although she and Yun Ting were husband and wife, it wasn’t publicly announced. And it was estimated that Lin Mumu was unlikely to disclose her marital status just to shut up idle gossipers.
Chapter 60 – You’re stingy (Part 2)
If Lin Mumu had actually lived in Yun Ting’s tent alone, she would certainly be seen by Beijing University’s students. At that time, there would be no way to explain the matter clearly as everybody would still hold doubts in their hearts.
However, it was fortunate he planned for Chen Fangya to move in together with her, and thus Yun Ting wouldn’t possibly squeeze in with two female students. Moreover, Liu Yuanyuan and An Xiaoqin often visited in the daytime, so everyone could see there was nothing ambiguous going on there.
When this matter was seen by outsiders, they only thought that the head of the military camp was a respectable man of noble character and unquestionable integrity, who magnanimously offered his own tent to a sick and weak little girl so that she could recuperate, and that he had nothing to do with the rude senior official who bullied the female student previously…
When Yun Ting came back the first time, An Xiaoqin and Liu Yuanyuan were already gone. Since Lin Mumu was sleeping again, and Chen Fangya was an outsider, he only nodded his head to say hello before going out again.
When he returned the second time, he was carrying a basket of juicy fruits, apples, bananas, red dates, and also Lin Mumu’s most favorite grapes.
The moment Lin Mumu saw Yun Ting, she instantly regained her vigor, and when she saw him carrying in all the foods she liked to eat, her mood instantly improved by many folds.
“Student Chen Fangya, your afternoon training has begun. You’ll be late if you don’t leave soon.” Yun Ting gave her a friendly reminder.
“Oh.” Chen Fangya enviously looked at the fruits in Lin Mumu’s hands. Sure enough, the respectable senior official was very stingy, he only brought fruits to his girlfriend, wuwu. I want to file a complaint!
(TN: Wuwu is sound effect for crying, whimpering, complaining, acting spoiled, the English equivalent should be boo hoo.)
“Yun Ting, you’re too stingy.” Lin Mumu also gave Yun Ting an unhappy glare.
Yun Ting didn’t know why, but he felt like his name coming from Lin Mumu’s mouth felt especially pleasant to hear. Because of her simple call, his mood also instantly got brighter, and he unexpectedly went as far as laughing out loud and joking with Lin Mumu.
“Isn’t it enough already that she kept hold of the senior official’s wife for the entire afternoon?”
“Sir Senior Official, can we make speak reasonably? You have the respectable status of a leader and commander of thousands of military troops, do you feel it worthwhile to lower yourself to our level, just little ordinary women?”
Usually, Yun Ting was long accustomed to hearing similar compliments and sophisticated way of speech coming from all kinds of ordinary and distinguished people. However, hearing it from Lin Mumu’s mouth, he felt it was extremely comfortable, pleasant and flattering.
Yun Ting happily squinted his eyes at her, as if asking her to say more.
