Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 176: Dealing with the Brothers Upon Returning to the City (2)

Parked the car, put the keys in the bag, and Ye Nai walked into the school with a relaxed and casual demeanor.

Turn a corner on the second floor and you enter Xia Yu and Xia Ji’s classroom.

At the entrance of the corridor, a group of students were joking and roughhousing. Ye Nai walked around them and stood at the classroom door looking inside, where two students on cleanup duty were sweeping the floor and wiping windows.

It was Ye Yong and Ye Ji.

One was sweeping, the other was wiping windows, and after that, they still had to mop the floor.

Ye Nai released a few spores into her younger brothers’ bodies to check on their health.

She casually glanced back at the blackboard, which indeed listed their names as part of the cleanup duty, along with six others.

She looked at the corridor again.

The same group of six was still playing and making noise.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, because the playful group finally noticed her.

"Who are you? What are you doing standing at our classroom door?"

A burly boy stood up, and by his demeanor, he seemed to be the leader.

"Are you on cleanup duty today? Why aren’t you working?"

"What’s it to you? Mind your own business."

This boy stood with a lack of grace, shaking one leg, exuding a vibe of a low-level thug.

The classmates he had been fooling around with stood behind him, snickering.

"Then what business is it of yours if I stand here? The school isn’t your house."

"Hey, not listening to reason, huh?"

The boy pulled a folding knife from his pocket, wielding it like a thug and swaggered towards Ye Nai with the knife in hand.

But he was short, probably still growing, but not tall enough to look Ye Nai in the eyes; he hadn’t realized this and took a few steps toward her.

Ye Nai quickly snatched the knife from his hand.

Before the boy could react, she kicked out.

The boy was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground where he writhed a few times, unable to get up or muster the strength to curse.

The onlooking classmates gasped, then hurriedly covered their mouths, looking at Ye Nai with the frightened eyes of timid quails.

"Young and already acting like a thug, have you never been beaten? This is what happens to little thugs."

Ye Nai, holding the seized knife, flipped it expertly between her fingers, mocking the boy on the ground as her gaze turned to the scared quails.

"Big sister?"

From the classroom behind her, her two brothers stood by the podium, still holding brooms and rags, eyes wide in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.

Ye Nai pocketed the knife, glanced at them, and compared to two months ago, they had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, with defensive wounds covered by their clothes, clearly suffering from severe bullying.

"Big sister is so cool!" the brothers exclaimed with stars in their eyes.

She put a finger to her lips, "Shh—"

Ye Yong and Ye Ji said no more, and quietly stood on the podium, still unconsciously holding the broom and rag.

"Big, big sister...?"

In the corridor, the five frightened quails slowly moved closer, pushing and pulling each other until a girl braved up and stepped forward.

"Are you part of today’s cleanup crew?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"What are you standing around for? Get in there and work."

The quails obediently went into the classroom, took over from Ye Yong and Ye Ji, and began cleaning quietly and diligently.

No one paid any attention to the one left out in the corridor.

"Big sister..."

The two brothers then approached Ye Nai.

"I just came back from the Secret Realm yesterday. We’ll talk outside, keep doing what you were doing."

"Mmm."

Ye Yong and Ye Ji obediently planned to finish today’s duty roster, but they were stopped by five little quails who insisted that they rest while they handled everything themselves.

As they spoke, they sneakily glanced at Ye Nai and caught sight of her smirk, which startled them, prompting them to quicken their movements.

With more people, the work indeed went faster; in half an hour, the entire classroom was cleaned, and all the windows were wiped.

Ye Yong and Ye Ji took the initiative to go to the corridor, helped the student who still couldn’t get up, and carried him into the classroom to his seat.

The girl who had spoken to Ye Nai earlier left the classroom and, after a while, returned with a teacher.

Ye Nai stepped back a bit, and the teacher, not noticing her, entered the classroom and conducted a quick inspection.

"Mmm, you’ve cleaned well today. Hey, what’s wrong with him?"

"Oh, teacher, he suddenly said his stomach hurt, and he even made a trip to the restroom. After returning, he had no energy left."

The teacher walked over and tapped the desk, and the boy struggled to lift his face.

"Are you all right? Should we call your parents to come get you if it’s serious?"

"No need, no need, teacher, I just have diarrhea and feel weak, there’s no need to call my parents."

"Then be careful on your way home."

"Mmm, thank you, teacher."

"Alright, everyone can go home now, study well, next Monday are the final exams."

"Got it, teacher."

"Goodbye, teacher."

The teacher left first, and the other students quickly grabbed their book bags and left, afraid that if they lingered, the twins’ sister might kick each one of them.

Ye Yong and Ye Ji also grabbed their own book bags, ignored the unfortunate boy who was beaten, and even mocked him twice before they left.

The boy indeed couldn’t stand up; any movement caused his stomach to hurt so severely that his limbs went weak, forcing him to lay weakly on his desk, silently weeping.

He dared not cry loudly, for each inhalation caused intense pain.

"Big sister, we can go now."

Ye Yong and Ye Ji walked to the staircase and saw Ye Nai on her phone.

"Final exams next week, have you packed up the dorm? Do you have any luggage to bring home?"

"Haven’t packed, not sure where I can go this summer."

"What about Dad? Has he looked after you at all these past two months?"

"He’s been on blind dates, trying to find a wealthy girlfriend."

"What?"

"He got fired, only has a bit of money from the divorce, wants to find a rich girlfriend before the money runs out, someone to take care of him."

"Isn’t he almost fifty? How is he becoming more unreliable? Doesn’t he think about passing the Intermediate electrician exam anymore?"

"Seems like he doesn’t want to take it anymore, and we can’t bring it up, it makes him lose his temper."

"Then let it be, if the chicken won’t move, just don’t bother with the chicken, to avoid you guys getting beaten." Ye Nai went down the stairs first. "Come on, let’s go to the dorm to pick up some clothes to change into. We’re staying out tonight, bring your student ID."

"Where are we staying?" Ye Yong and Ye Ji quickly followed.

"At a hotel, you both rest well. Next week’s exam, try not to flunk it, at least pass each subject, aim for above the class average."

"Oh…"

The boys felt headache thinking about next week’s exams, but were also filled with anticipation for staying at the hotel, creating a mix of emotions.

Back downstairs, the three of them walked behind the academic building, Ye Nai waited by the boys’ dorm entrance while the boys went upstairs to their dorm to fetch clothes.

However, they soon came back down, empty-handed except for their book bags.

"Where are the clothes?"

"They fell on the floor."

"Fell on the floor? Were they clothes hanging up to dry that fell and got dirty?" Ye Nai furrowed her brows slightly.
