140: Chapter 64 Nameless Letter_1 140: Chapter 64 Nameless Letter_1 Zheng Qing went for morning practice in the playground sporting a black eye.

He wasn’t dissatisfied about it.

Because he had given Xiao Xiao two black eyes as well.

As a result, Watermelon Head refused to accompany him for morning practice, insisting on meditating in dormitory instead.

However, when Zheng Qing returned to the dorm after finishing his morning practice, clutching breakfast, hummed a tune, he was shocked to find Xiao Xiao’s black eyes had vanished.

“You’re cheating!” He accused Watermelon Head angrily and shamelessly, while studying his own injuries in the mirror of the dressing room.

Unfortunately, the purple bruising around his eyes was still painfully evident.

“I am a qualified wizard.” Xiao Xiao said, enunciating clearly as he applied ointment to his eyes, “A competent wizard knows how to prepare the right ointment.”

“Share some with me…

I am supposed to meet Jiang Yu in a bit.” Zheng Qing lowered his head in defeat and mumbled, “You still have plenty in that bottle.”

“You weren’t so polite when you were beating me up.” Xiao Xiao looked at him angrily, his teeth grinding.

“I brought you breakfast.” Zheng Qing waved the bag in his hand, and the delicious aroma filled the entire dorm, “And I also gave you a gift last night…”

Before Xiao Xiao could reply, Xin Fat Man’s bed exploded with a loud bang.

The desk shook ominously with the rumbling ‘thud’.

Fatty Cat, perched on Xiao Xiao’s notebook, blinked his bleary eyes and bobbed his tail at Zheng Qing, meekly smelling the air.

Zheng Qing stared blankly at the fat cat’s vacant flat face, pulled a smile and looked back at Xiao Xiao.

“One week’s worth of breakfast.” Xiao Xiao demanded without hesitation, “I’m poor… the cost of these potions is quite high.”

“You’re crazy!” Zheng Qing shouted at the top of his lungs – “I’m a pauper too!

The Wandering Wizard stole five hundred standard talismans from me yesterday, you know… I can add another breakfast for tomorrow at most, and you are in charge of running errands.”

“Five days’ worth of breakfast, no less.” Xiao Xiao pushed his glasses up his nose, his eyes sharp, “As an added benefit, I can run errands to get you breakfast.”

“Two days, I don’t need your benefits, I’ll run errands for you.” Zheng Qing glared at him furiously, “That’s my bottom line.

If you disagree, I’ll go to Nicolas…

He knows many excellent potion makers at school.”

“Three days, I’ll run errands.” Xiao Xiao immediately compromised without a shred of dignity, “Nicolas is a repeater, he probably has some barriers with those senior students… Besides, you have to leave in a bit, my ointment can be used right away.”

“Meow!” Tuan Tuan, who had long been fed up with the bickering between the two newcomers, immediately raised his paw and gave a heavy swipe.

Zheng Qing glanced at the fat cat wagging its tail and finally nodded in agreement.

However, when he received the ointment, Zheng Qing felt some regret.

The formula for the hangover potion he had in the morning came back to mind.

“What ingredients did you use in this ointment?” Zheng Qing asked, as he looked at the yellow-green gooey ointment in his hand, straining to speak calmly, “”It looks…

a bit unappetizing.”

“There are a lot of ingredients…” As Xiao Xiao started, Zheng Qing quickly interrupted him.

“Since you’ve already used it, there’s no need to tell me the formula.” he earnestly looked at Watermelon Head, “In case you mention some inappropriate ingredients, this little bit of ointment might not be enough for both of us.”

Xiao Xiao snorted in mockery but did not argue further, indeed shutting her mouth.

Zheng Qing sighed with relief and began to carefully apply ointment to his bruised purple eye using a tall dressing mirror.

“Do you know where Dylan went?” Zheng Qing frowned and mumbled as he applied the ointment, “I have not yet given him his Mount Tai Shi Gan Dang… What if something happens when he stays out all night…”

“Summer insects cannot understand ice, and you two are not of the same species.

Stop making unwarranted assumptions.” Xiao Xiao opened her breakfast parcel and evenly divided the soy milk, fried dough sticks, side dishes, and eggs into three portions.

She placed them in the blue and white ceramic plate and lectured, “To a creature of the night like him, your definition of staying out all night might just be his daytime.”

Zheng Qing puckered his mouth.

It made sense, and he decided not to retort.

“Oh, by the way, there’s a letter for you on the desk.” As she picked up a fried dough stick, Xiao Xiao seemed to remember something.

She reminded him while tapping the desk, “It’s under the vase.

Check it when you have time.”

Zheng Qing’s eyes swept over the heaps of books on the desk, paused on a cardboard box covered with a towel, and finally landed on a vase filled with wilted daisies.

“A bunch of slovenly ghosts, when are they going to get rid of these daisies and replace them with fresh ones.” He moved the vase, looking at the letter and grumbled, “even Fatty is tired of it.”

The pudgy Flower Cat chewed on a dough stick, licked some soy milk, raised its paw and meowed approvingly at the comment.

Xiao Xiao scoffed dismissively.

“Who sent it?” Zheng Qing bit a fried dough stick and muttered, “It wasn’t there when I left, was it?”

Even though he had a black eye when he left the dorm, Zheng Qing was very certain whether there was a letter under the vase.

Because while he was beating up Watermelon Head, he had thought about using the vase to smash Watermelon Head’s head.

“It flew in from outside the window.” Xiao Xiao washed her hands, picked up a fried dough stick and frowned, “Don’t buy such greasy breakfast next time… Too much oil affects a wizard’s brain.”

“You’re a real chatterbox.” Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and picked up the letter from beneath the vase.

It was a white envelope.

There was no sender’s name or address, no recipient’s name or address, no postmark, no zip code, and the flap of the envelope wasn’t even sealed.

“How do you know this is for me?” Zheng Qing waved the plain envelope, looking puzzled.

“It flew straight to the front of your six-pillar bed.

I had to whip it for quite a while before it obediently lay on the floor.” Xiao Xiao sipped her soy milk and slowly chewed the fried dough stick calmly, “If you hadn’t lowered the curtains before you left, I guess this letter would now be lying on your pillow.”

Zheng Qing shrugged, refusing to comment on this purely wizardly perspective.

Because the envelope wasn’t sealed, when Zheng Qing shook it slightly, a white card fell out.

“Don’t move!” Xiao Xiao yelled, stopping Zheng Qing from picking up the card.

Zheng Qing looked at her, puzzled.

Xiao Xiao didn’t explain.

She just took out a pair of tweezers from her tool box, picked up the card, pushed up her glasses and examined it carefully.

“This is a school…” Zheng Qing muttered, “Aren’t you being too cautious?”

“Don’t touch anything you’re unsure of, it’s common knowledge in the wizarding world!

Because they may likely belong to black magic items.” Xiao Xiao warned, looking at him.

She looked closely at the card and immediately made a disgusted face, “Even in school, you are receiving such items.

I can only imagine how hated you must be.”

“What’s that?” Zheng Qing made a stern face and leaned over too, ignoring the sarcasm from Watermelon Head.
