Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 133: Old Green Tea

Lin Nianbei rushed in and saw the scene unfold before him.

Lin Nianbei’s eyes widened, “Ah Xiang!”

Ah Xiang was curled up, and upon hearing his voice, she struggled to lift her head and moved her lips as if trying to give him a comforting smile.

The next second, a streak of bright red flowed from the corner of her mouth.

“Ah Xiang!” Lin Nianbei felt as if his whole being was torn in half.

The person who was so lively just this morning had now turned into this.

And it was all because of his dear niece.

Lin Muxue was kicking fervently. She hadn’t expected Lin Nianbei to arrive so quickly and had just been caught by him while assaulting Ah Xiang.

She remembered how Ah Xiang had fought back vigorously at first, then grew increasingly weak, and she had thought Ah Xiang was no match for her.

But Ah Xiang used to be good at fighting, always aiming for her private areas.

And then…

“You did that on purpose!” Lin Muxue glared at Ah Xiang, who was lying on the ground, through gritted teeth.

Ah Xiang looked at her weakly and shook her head, but Lin Muxue clearly saw a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Muxue’s eyes reddened with fury and anger, prompting her to kick again.

“Lin Muxue, you dare to hit Ah Xiang right in front of me!” Lin Nianbei couldn’t believe Lin Muxue was so bold. He was right there, yet she still dared to attack Ah Xiang, showing no respect, even in his presence. What about in private? Just moments ago? He feared to imagine how Lin Muxue must have treated Ah Xiang while he wasn’t there.

Lin Nianbei moved forward, pushed Lin Muxue away, and helped Ah Xiang up.

“I’m alright. Cough cough…” Ah Xiang weakly placed her hand on his arm and hadn’t finished speaking when she coughed up some blood.

“Ah Xiang, I wish you wouldn’t be so sensible…” Lin Nianbei said with a pained expression.

“I really am fine, don’t let it hurt the relationship between you and cough cough cough…” Ah Xiang couldn’t finish her sentence as she started coughing again.

“You damn white lotus, what are you pretending for! You were fierce enough when hitting me just now. Uncle, don’t be fooled by her!” Lin Muxue, watching Ah Xiang lying weak in her uncle’s arms, was utterly furious.

This damn Old Green Tea! Such a white lotus!

Clearly on purpose!

Is Uncle blind?

“Lin Muxue! I am your uncle, and she is your aunt! How could you assault your aunt! Did I spoil you too much?”

Aunt?

God damn aunt! She doesn’t have such an Old Green Tea aunt!

Why does this Old Green Tea deserve this?

She doesn’t want her!

She doesn’t want this Old Green Tea to be her aunt!

Uncle is hers!

Lin Muxue would not allow anyone to steal Lin Nianbei’s affection.

She saw it clear now; this Old Green Tea, even without being officially with her uncle yet, was already scheming against her.

If she really got together with her uncle, she would be done for.

Lin Muxue firmly disagreed with this Old Green Tea being with her uncle.

“Uncle, are you blind? She hit me too!” Lin Muxue complained bitterly. She did hit Old Green Tea, but Old Green Tea had hit her too; it hurt tremendously.

She didn’t need to look to know; she was sure she was bruised.

Lin Muxue thought by saying this, Lin Nianbei would also feel sorry for her and not be completely deceived by Ah Xiang.

But she forgot, Ah Xiang had targeted her chest and kicked her groin, leaving the skin on her face and exposed areas clean, with no marks at all.

Her hair was a bit messy, but not from Ah Xiang pulling it; it had gotten that way when she was fighting Ah Xiang.

Lin Nianbei could naturally tell.

So, he thought Lin Muxue was just making excuses and even taking him for a fool.

Lin Nianbei was very disappointed in her.

Lin Muxue had been raised by his side since she was a child, and he had always hired the best teachers to teach her, so how had she turned out this way?

Not only hitting people, but also lying.

Treating him like a fool.

“Enough! Get out, you are not allowed to go anywhere these next two months. Just stay at home!”

Lin Muxue was stunned.

“Uncle, you are grounding me?”

“You need to reflect on yourself! It’s because I have been too indulgent with you that you have developed such a character.”

“Uncle! I don’t accept this! Why? You are actually grounding me because of Old Green Tea?”

Lin Muxue had only seen others being grounded before, never imagining that she would experience it herself one day.

“Uncle, I don’t want to be grounded. I… isn’t it enough that I admit I was wrong?” Lin Muxue didn’t want to be grounded and was somewhat reluctant to admit her mistake.

“At worst, I’ll apologize to her.”

“Brother Lin, Xiao Xue just doesn’t understand things. I’m fine.” Ah Xiang tugged at Lin Nianbei’s clothing and said softly.

Lin Nianbei looked at the palm print on Ah Xiang’s face and the bruises on her body, and his initial wavering thoughts firmed up.

“Someone, take her back for me, and don’t let her out without my order.”

The people who had been standing outside quickly came in and took Lin Muxue away.

Lin Muxue hadn’t expected that even after admitting her fault, because of a few words from Old Green Tea, she was still grounded.

The escorted Lin Muxue twisted like a worm, “Uncle! Uncle! I don’t want to! Don’t ground me.”

Just because she hit Old Green Tea a couple of times, she was locked up. If this news spread, she would be laughed to death.

But no matter how much she twisted, it was useless; Lin Nianbei was too disappointed in her.

After sending Lin Muxue away, Lin Nianbei had someone find a doctor to come and look at Ah Xiang’s injuries.

After the doctor arrived, Ah Xiang rolled up her sleeves, and the bruises on her arm stung Lin Nianbei’s eyes.

There were bruises not only on her arms but also on her legs.

There seemed to be no good skin left on her entire body.

After examining her, the doctor got some ointment and instructed Lin Nianbei to apply it to Ah Xiang.

As Lin Nianbei applied the ointment, Ah Xiang’s whole body trembled, constantly inhaling sharply.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Lin Nianbei lightened his touch.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt,” Ah Xiang said with a smile, but the next second, she sharply inhaled from the sudden force of Lin Nianbei’s hand.

“Really… it doesn’t hurt.”

Lin Nianbei didn’t believe it; it must hurt. Ah Xiang was just pretending it didn’t to keep him from worrying and feeling guilty.

He was deeply moved.

Ah Xiang really wasn’t in pain.

Lin Muxue, that silly girl, clearly wasn’t experienced in hitting people, and her strength was weak. Ah Xiang, battle-hardened and quite adept at dodging, later pretended to be overwhelmed and curled up on the ground. When Lin Muxue kicked her, she also slightly dodged, so it didn’t really hurt much.

Compared to the fights she had before, those couldn’t even match the soreness.

However, she had to pretend like it hurt a lot.

She needed to make Lin Nianbei see her pain, so he would feel guilty and sympathize.

After the ointment was applied, Ah Xiang, holding the sweater she had knitted for him, fell asleep.

Her face buried in that sweater made his heart tremble.

Suddenly feeling restless, Lin Nianbei stepped outside and smoked a cigarette.

The cigarette was good, outdated, but there was nothing to complain about.

After smoking two cigarettes, Lin Nianbei felt much better, but thinking of Lin Muxue, his mood became agitated again, leading him to smoke another two.

Having smoked so much, Lin Nianbei didn’t dare to go back inside, afraid he might wake Ah Xiang.

He had to make do in a subordinate’s room for the night.
