Chapter 168: There is a dog barking twice after 1:00 am.

Xi Yunmei came to see Lu Anna about something. After they finished eating watermelons, the two went off to chat, while Iro waited for Li Xianglu under the shade of the trees.

Iro couldn’t help but praise Li Xianglu’s long dress as she looked at it: "This design is really unique, not too revealing, yet it has an elegant feel to it."

Li Xianglu nodded proudly and said, "Do you like it? I designed it myself and had a tailor make it. If you like it, you can go to the tailor I usually go to, though it’s not state-owned."

Iro had never been in close contact with Li Xianglu before and was surprised by her generosity in sharing her clothing designs with others. Normally, girls only wanted to be beautiful and unique for themselves.

Even with their very close girlfriends, they wouldn’t want to wear the same clothes. However, Li Xianglu was an exception. She smiled and said, "Sure, but I would have to alter it a bit if I wore it. The dress can’t be this long; I’m not as tall as you. Anna, on the other hand, could try this style; she’s as tall as you are."

In the half-year since starting college, Li Xianglu had developed quite a bit. Her breasts had puffed up nicely, already surpassing the size of steamed buns, and moving toward the size of Red Fuji apples. Her height had grown from one meter sixty-three to one meter sixty-five. However, she hadn’t grown any taller since, and it seemed that was her final height.

Lu Anna soon came back, informing them that Xi Yunmei had left. Seeing Li Xianglu, she had a face full of gratitude: "So it was you who saved Ping An back then?"

Li Xianglu nodded somewhat foolishly: "Yeah, doesn’t everyone know about this?"

Lu Anna responded with a bit of irritation, "My family has talked about you so many times. Every time I heard my brother and sister-in-law mention your nickname, calling you Xiangxiang, but I never connected you with that Xiangxiang."

Li Xianglu shook her head with a smile: "It’s okay, it’s been a few years since that happened."

But Lu Anna shook her head seriously and said, "But our family can’t forget. If Ping An had really been lost then, the blow to our family would have been unimaginable. My mother is not young and has high blood pressure. She was hospitalized after hearing that Ping An was lost and only started to recover after half a month when she was told he was found. If it wasn’t for your timely help, my mom might not have been able to get through it."

Li Xianglu nonchalantly replied, "Alright, it’s all in the past. Besides, I received a two thousand yuan reward for it and got along really well with Sister Yun Mei and Brother Lu. Let’s not stand on ceremony, thanking each other over and over is so boring."

Lu Anna nodded and said, "Okay, but I have to tell my mom when I get back. She will definitely be delighted."

Iro, standing beside them, just realized the connection and her mouth dropped open: "You guys really have a bond, to have come together like this." Iro knew about the incident with the Lu Family; The Ais were a dependent family of the Lu Family, if their hosts were not doing well, these dependents would also be in trouble. So in a way, she also felt grateful to Li Xianglu.

The feelings among the three warmed up rapidly, but the atmosphere wasn’t as pleasant when they returned to the dormitory. Seeing the three of them return, Xiao Chong glared over: "You still dare to come back?"

The three of them were stunned, thinking that he was crazy.

Iro, who was already fed up with this lunatic, frowned and demanded, "What do you mean? Have you leased the dormitory for yourself or something?"

Xiao Chong choked up and said: "Iro, even you? Are you brainwashed by Li Xianglu too? She’s so unreasonable when she’s in the right, doesn’t she deserve criticism?"

Iro coolly replied, "Criticism? From what standpoint? Should a victim who does not forgive the person who wronged them be criticized? Xiao Chong, you think that’s right?"

Xiao Chong was taken aback and immediately retorted, "No, it’s not like that. Li Xianglu said she didn’t suffer any substantial harm, so why can’t she forgive Ma Lingling? It’s not like she committed some unforgivable, horrendous crime!" After saying so much in one breath, Xiao Chong suddenly felt that he made a lot of sense and stood up straight, with an air of being in the right.

Li Xianglu shook her head: "Xiao Chong, are you pushing me? What are you going to do if I don’t forgive Ma Lingling? Kick me out of here? Not let me stay in the dorm?"

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment: "That, that wouldn’t be necessary, but why can’t you forgive her?"

Li Xianglu leaned lazily on the quilt: "I don’t like eating ginger, but some people say ginger can cure coldness and insist on making me eat it. When I eat it, I vomit. What do you think should be done? Should I keep eating even after vomiting? Sorry, Xiao Chong, you are the great Virgin Mary, and I am just a lowly mortal with a small heart!"

After saying this, Li Xianglu took off her shoes and lay down; there was still a while before it was time to get the books.

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment. Virgin Mary? What’s that?

Iro and Lu Anna next to him couldn’t hold back their laughter and twisted their faces.

By the time Li Xianglu went out, both Li Dayu and Wang Ke had arrived.

Wang Ke pushed up the thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, coughed gently, and said warmly, "The Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus. It is said that she is an intercessory saint who can lead people to pray for the forgiveness of sins. I believe Li’s intent is to tell you that you are not the Virgin Mary, and you cannot absolve others of their sins."

Wang Ke’s scrupulous explanation made Allen and Lu Anna burst out laughing. Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, they had not realized that Wang Ke could tell such dry jokes.

Their laughter made Xiao Chong pout his lips as if he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Li Xianglu quickly got up, put on her shoes, and called out, "Let’s go, don’t dawdle here any longer. I still need to go home after getting the books."

Iro and Lu Anna also hurriedly followed suit.

Wang Ke also felt that she might have said the wrong thing, but she didn’t explain it incorrectly, so she quickly grabbed her backpack and left. Li Dayu also did not dare to delay. She knew why Xiao Chong was crying when she arrived and had reservations about the matter, so it was better to leave.

At this time, Xu Xin, just entering, arrived and saw several people hurry out, puzzled, "What happened, is there a dog chasing them?" After that, she turned her eyes towards Xiao Chong and Ma Lingling in the dormitory.

Xiao Chong, who had been holding back his grievances, suddenly burst into tears after hearing the phrase ’is there a dog behind’, crying loudly, feeling too aggrieved, wanting mommy!

Xu Xin didn’t know what had happened, stood dumbly at the door for a while, then turned to a fuming Ma Lingling and asked, "What’s wrong with her? Who hit her?"

The more Xiao Chong heard, the more he cried breathlessly. He wasn’t hit; his soul had suffered a severe trauma!

Ma Lingling didn’t know what to say, looking infuriated. She originally wanted to use this clumsy Xiao Chong to resolve the situation, who could have thought that he’d turn out to be so incredibly foolish, useless!

After getting the books, Li Xianglu dragged Lu Anna to help take them back to the dormitory, while she went to wait for someone at the bike shed.

On the way to the shed, she passed by a small auditorium where there was a meeting, and turning a corner, Li Xianglu saw a familiar figure standing with a girl.
