Chapter 102: Creating Happiness

  Xiao Xiao arrived at Ward 203, fearing that the front desk had made a mistake, so she peeked inside through the gap in the door. She saw that the space inside 203 was very large, but there was only one hospital bed.

  The dance academy had very strict admission principles, selecting only those with both good looks and knowledge. The whole school, including graduate students, had a total of just over 1,000 students. Generally, intravenous drips were completed at the school hospital. If it was serious, they would be sent to a large external hospital. So their hospitals were very idle, with each ward having only one bed.

  Xiao Xiao saw a girl sitting beside the bed, about 1.65 meters tall, slender figure, shoulder-length brown hair, white top with lace trim and folds, from behind she absolutely didn't look like Miao Miao.

  He took another two glances inside and saw that the quilt on the bed was bulging, indicating someone was lying in bed, but he couldn't confirm if it was Miao Miao. With a sense of urgency in his heart, he didn't knock on the door and directly pushed open the hospital room door and walked right in.

  The girl by the bed turned around to see a strange boy with an explosive hairstyle coming in, and asked who he was with a surprised frown. His voice was sweet and sticky, a native of Tianjing.

  Xiao Xiao saw that she was slender and had a clear face, pure eyes, and good temperament, and smiled at her. Turning her head, she saw that the one lying on the bed was actually Miao Miao.

  Lan Miao was wearing a pink T-shirt, her hair disheveled, lying on the bed, her face pale and wan, her eyes dazed, with an intravenous needle inserted into her slender right hand, dripping fluids into her body.

  Xiao Xiao felt a little heartache and slowly walked to her bedside.

  "Little monster brother, you're here? Meow, uh, meow." She saw Xiao's tall and majestic figure in a daze, excitedly sat up from the bed and shouted at him. In an instant, her illness had improved by more than half.

  The girl by the bed heard that the boy in front of her was the little demon that Miao Miao had been thinking about day and night, and she couldn't help but frown. He wasn't like what she had imagined. In Miao Miao's description, this little demon was like a British prince, but when they met, she felt that he was just a little demon after all.

  Xiao Xiao saw that her usual spirit was no longer there, it was heart-wrenching. She took out a colorful paper bag with a kitten pattern from behind her back and smiled: "This is a gift I bought for you, wishing you an early recovery."

  Miao Miao took over the colored paper package and opened it to find a bunch of animal crackers inside, all shaped like smiling little kittens.

  She was overjoyed. Although the package of cookies was very cheap, it represented his heart, and she felt that even if Xiao Xiao gave her a bag of stones now, she would like it.

  The girl by the bed saw that Xiao gave Lan Miao a gift of cat-shaped cookies and thought it was very interesting.

  "This is my classmate, Qiao Didi. We are in the same dormitory." Lan Miaomiao introduced the girl by the bed to Xiao Xiao.

  "Hello." Xiao Xiao greeted her. Thinking to herself, what kind of name is Qiao Di Di? It's not as good as being called Jiao Di Di.

  Qiao Didi smiled at Xiao Xiao and said, "I've always heard Miao Miao mention you, saying how handsome you are. But I think you're just average." Her straightforward words revealed the character of Tianjing people, leaving no room for politeness towards Xiao Xiao.

  Lan Miao and Qiao Di lived in the same dormitory, they had similar temperaments and could talk about anything with each other. Now she heard that Qiao Di was speaking ill of Xiao Xiao, so she immediately used all her strength to swing her arm and hit Qiao Di once.

  Xiao Xiao smiled faintly and scratched his own head, laughing: "Haha, can't be considered handsome, how to say it, not very handsome." He joked.

  Qiao Didi couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Xiao's humor and self-deprecation. She thought that someone who could make fun of themselves was definitely a trustworthy person.

  "Didn't you say you had military training? Are you playing hooky? Meow meow." Lan Miao Miao asked.

  Xiao Xiao asked for leave but was rejected, so he secretly ran away and had a thrilling bicycle racing and parkour competition with his instructor, which he then bragged about to Miao Miao.

  "You're really nervous, aren't you? Hehe. But if you weren't nervous, it wouldn't be like you." Lan Miao Miao said with a smile, her eyes narrowing into slits, looking as silly and adorable as those little cat cookies.

  "I'm going to the restroom." Qiao Didi said, walking out of the door. She knew that at this time, she should let Xiao Xiao and Miao Miao have some space to be alone together.

  Xiao Xiao and Miao Miao both watched as Di Di walked out of the hospital room and closed the door.

  "You're tanned." Miao Miao curved her eyes as she looked at Xiao Xiao, thinking of him undergoing military training under the scorching sun.

  "You've gone pale." Xiao Xiao rubbed her own forehead with her hand and said, staring at her bloodless face.

  Miao Miao pouted and said: "I'm just sick."

  "Hehe, I'm so cool."

  "Haha!"

  Two people smiled at the same time, their eyes met, and suddenly there was no topic of conversation.

  "Great, since you're fine now, take good care of yourself and rest. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, you won't die. I'll head back now, school is in the middle of military training." Xiao Xiao explained the current situation to her, and first thing she had to face when she got back was Yan Wang Yue An.

  "Hmm, as long as you're alive, I won't die, meow. Come here." Miao Miao couldn't bear to let him go, and she beckoned him with her small hand, like a lucky cat.

  "What's wrong?" Xiao Xiao walked in front of her, thinking to herself, "Miao Miao, you're not going to be so moved by my hard work that you'll kiss me, huh? Hehe! I've got a chance today, will it be our first French kiss? Haha."

  Lan Miao took out a small cat biscuit and held it up in the air, saying to Xiao Xiao: "Eat. Meow."

  "Oh!" Xiao Xiao bit into a cookie. She picked up another one and said to Miao Miao, "You eat."

  Miao Miao opened her small cat mouth and bit into the cookie, feeling sweet in both her mouth and heart. She was satisfied and said to Xiao Xiao: "Little demon brother, you can go back now. Meow meow. Remember to behave well during military training when you get back, don't make the instructor angry again. Meow meow." Miao Miao's heart felt like a small cat scratching, she didn't know why she agreed to let him leave so soon.

  Soft and sweet, waved goodbye to her, walked out of ward 203.

  Qiao Didi was wandering in the corridor and saw Xiao Xiao coming out so soon, couldn't help but curiously ask him if he was leaving already?

  Xiao Xiao hinted that he would face severe punishment if he escaped from military training, and he had to go back immediately. He bid farewell to Qiao Di and walked out of the dance academy, went to the supermarket to take out the camouflage uniform he had stored and put it on, followed the street to find the subway entrance of the dance academy, bought a ticket and took the subway to Changchun Street Station of Nongda.

  At 8:00 in the evening, Xiao Xiao's body was covered with a layer of sunset glow, returning to the new stadium of Nongda for military training. He stood on the track of the stadium. The dim yellow light stretched his shadow long.

  The classmates who were having military training saw Xiao Xiao, this demon head, come back and they all looked at him in surprise, thinking that the instructor would definitely not let him off lightly. Those people who got along relatively well with Xiao Xiao also stared at him.

  Six or seven instructors rushed up, glaring at Xiao Xiao with anger in their eyes, wishing they could immediately swing their martial arts belts and whip him to death.

  Ruan Qiang's eyes scanned the two slender legs, wondering what they were made of. But then he saw a red mark on the crotch area. Ruan Qiang sighed: This kid really did go to find a girlfriend and even did some intense activities, otherwise how would there still be marks left on his pants?

  He couldn't help but sigh: Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you? You can't even hold on for a few days of military training. Do you have to run away desperately to find your girlfriend and take care of things? Escaping is one thing, but doing this kind of thing is too careless.

  Lan Xin stood beside him and also looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile.

  Yue An walked over calmly and looked at Xiao Xiao without getting angry, saying: "There are two outcomes for students who cause trouble during military training. One is that I report to the school and have you expelled, and the other is that you accept my punishment, but the punishment is very painful. If you can't bear it, I will also report to the school and have you expelled."

  Xiao Xiao understood that he absolutely could not be expelled, because he still had to participate in the school's centennial celebration as a student, and did not want to disappoint his father's hopes and entrustment. He calmly said to Yue An: "I accept your punishment."

  Yue An's eyes were cold and stern as he poked Xiao Xiao's chest with his fist: "Let me remind you, get a good rest tonight and recharge your energy, my punishment will be severe."

  Xiao Xiao pressed his chest against his fist, feeling like his chest was pressing against a machine gun. He replied calmly: "Thank you, instructor. I will."

  Xiao Xiao and Yue An stood facing each other, their icy atmosphere intimidating everyone present.

  At this time, Ding Rong brought two old villagers to the stadium. They came before Yue An and said: "Officer Yue, these two old villagers are looking for a classmate named Xiao Xiao from Tianjing Agricultural University. Take a look at whether they are looking for our classmate Xiao Xiao?"

  Yue An withdrew his clenched fist and let Xiao Xiao go answer.

  Xiao Xiao walked past and saw the two old men, who were shocked to see him. Weren't they the two old men whose bicycles he had snatched? Were they here to demand their bicycles back from him? He immediately turned his head to look at Ruan Qiang: Officer, you should also compensate them together.

  Ruan Qiang saw those two old men, made a ghostly face, turned his head to hint to his classmates that the afternoon military training was dismissed. Then he ran away quickly.

  "My god, are you trying to welch on a debt, Qiang Ge?" Xiao Xiao had no choice but to face the two old acquaintances alone.

  "What? You're Xiao Xiao?" The two old men also looked embarrassed when they saw Xiao Xiao, recalling his behavior of snatching bicycles, which was not what they had imagined. Moreover, when they came out from the village, Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother said that Xiao Xiao was a big guy with black hair, but this person in front of them was indeed a big guy, but how could he be a blond kid?

  "Hello uncles, I'm Xiao Xiao. About that bicycle thing?" Xiao Xiao said with a full apology to the two old men.

  Ding Rong saw that they indeed knew each other, so she said that these two fellow villagers had been looking for a student named Xiao Xiao at the Agricultural University all day. Now she could finally be free from this task, and let Xiao Xiao talk to the two fellow villagers while she left first.

  Two fellow villagers heard Xiao mention the bicycle matter, waved their hands to indicate that it was nothing, and then said: "Don't mention the bicycle matter for now, we want to talk about another thing. Although we have been in contact, I don't know if you are the Xiao they mentioned. Have you heard of this matter?"

  Wang Yong, Li Wei and Lu Lei gathered around, standing beside Xiao Xiao with great interest to listen to the two fellow villagers talk about their past.

  Originally, Tianjing City had eight districts and four counties: Shangcheng, Xiacheng, Gaotai, and Dacheng. Gaotai County's Longzhao Village is located at the intersection of Longshan Mountain Range and Huangcheng Mountain Range, where all villagers share the surname Tong. The ancestors and Kangxi's mother were close relatives. The village still has the tomb of Kangxi's sister, Princess Mingzhu.

  These two old men are villagers of Longzhao Village, Gaocity County, Tianjing City. One is called Tong Bao and the other is Tong Qian.

  Longzhao Village originally had more than 300 households, but now the villagers have all gone to Tianjing City to work and do business. Only a dozen or so elderly people who are advanced in years remain behind to guard the village, along with seven or eight dogs, four or five pigs, and three or two chickens.

  That day, Tong Long and Tong Hu, two old brothers from the village, rode their bicycles to buy chickens and met Xiao Xiao at the top of Dragon Mountain.

  Xiao Xiao rode a bicycle to take them to chase a truck, at that time he promised to find them the chicken seedlings of Nongda. So they sent these two old villagers to look for it. Today's visitors are Longzhao Village Chief Tong Qian and the younger brother of those two old men, Tong Bao.

  Xiao Xiao remembered that day he was riding his own vehicle, and had little contact with the two old men, but instead it was Xiang Bei and Lu Feng who were riding their bicycles.

  Lu Peng thought of that day's chase at Longshan Mountain top and busily waved his hand to indicate he absolutely had not agreed to this kind of thing.

  Xiao Xiao thought it should be answered to the north. Now that I think about it, Beibei was a bit strange at the time and didn't say anything to himself, it turned out to be this kind of thing. He asked the two old townspeople to wait for a moment, and he called Beibei himself to ask if he had agreed to this matter.

  To the north, on the other end of the phone, he admitted in one breath that military training is not going well now, and asked Xiao Xiao to take care of this matter properly. After all, meeting fellow villagers on Longshan Road is also a fate.

  "Hang up the phone, and to those two fellow villagers: 'There's this matter, I'm that Xiao Xiao, you don't need to look for anyone else. But actually, it was my classmate who impersonated me and agreed with those two gentlemen.' However, since you've come here, rest assured, I'll help you out later. We're students of Nongda University, what's the point of studying hard? Isn't it to create happiness for our fellow villagers? Otherwise, what's the use of us in this world?"

  Ye Xiao Zhi and Bu Shuang two girls happened to pass by, they both care about Xiao Xiao now.

  Ye Xiao Zhi heard this and said to Bu Shuang: "Isn't the new breed of chicken researched by our Animal Science Institute's Second Research Department pretty good? The chickens in Tianjing City are also among the best. Why not mention it to the lab and provide free support to Longzhao Village?"

  "They didn't ask for your help, so don't interfere. Let that little yellow-haired kid worry for a bit, and when they find us, you can still lend a hand and be considered kind." Bu Shuang said.

  Ye Xiao Zhi was extremely displeased with Bu Shuang's attitude and made a mental note of it.

  Tong Qian and Tong Bao, two fellow villagers, showed a pleased expression after hearing Xiao Xiao's suggestion.

  Tong Qian pulled out a plastic tube from behind his back, opened it and took out a crimson satin flag with golden edges for him. They unfolded the flag, which read: "Elite Agricultural University student, assisting parents and relatives in their hometown. Gift to Xiao Xiao."

  "Oh!" The people around Lu Teng and others saw the brocade flag, and they all cheered loudly, saying that Xiao Xiao can now be rated as an excellent student, and it's really a glory for Nongda.

  Xiao Xiao almost fainted when he saw the embroidered silk flag, and he hadn't even done anything yet. The reward had already arrived. Facing the sincerity of his fellow villagers, he could only accept it. He took the silk flag and shook hands with the two elderly people.

  Two elderly people shook hands with a university student for the first time and were delighted.

  Xiao Xiao and the brothers from dorm 918 got together to treat two fellow townspeople to a good meal of fine wine and cuisine at a small restaurant in Changchun, and then arranged for them to stay at a hotel within the Agricultural University campus.

  Xiao Xiao sat in the hotel room and told the two fellow villagers that they would return early tomorrow. After the military training, he would go to the school to contact the leaders and help them find a technician. At that time, he would also go to Longzhao Village for on-site inspection. Specific situations require specific implementation. In short, he was in charge of the renovation of Longzhao Village.

  Tong Qian and Tong Bao were overjoyed, sleeping soundly in the hotel, preparing to ride their bicycles back to Longzhua Village the next day.

  Xiao Xiao and the others finished arranging for the two fellow villagers and continued on to the new sports stadium for their evening military training.
