Zhang Ruobing did not immediately lash out, but instead stepped inside.
As she walked, she carefully sniffed the air.
Yes, that's the taste.
It has a rich, sweet aroma with a milky scent and an indescribable, strangely bitter taste.
This smell is definitely not the kind of face cream or soap that ordinary families in this era would have.
This is the aroma of food.
The smell was strongest near Su Tang and Wang Xiaoya's beds.
Zhang Ruobing's eyes instantly sharpened.
All eyes were on Zhang Ruobing, watching her walk steadily, step by step, like a cheetah surveying its territory, to Su Tang and Wang Xiaoya's bedside.
Wang Xiaoya's heart was pounding like a drum. She felt her legs go weak and she could barely stand. She was only saved from collapsing because Su Tang nudged her from behind with her elbow.
Sister Su An... what to do... what to do...
Her mind went blank, with only those two words swirling wildly in her head.
That heavenly chocolate, with its domineering yet alluring aroma, now seemed like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.
Chen Xiaocao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands until her knuckles turned white. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the instructors found out that they were eating something in the middle of the night, especially that kind of "foreign stuff" that looked like it came from an unknown source.
Expulsion? A major demerit? Or... an even more severe punishment?
Su Tang remained expressionless, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
That was a miscalculation.
She underestimated the penetrating power of the chocolate's aroma, as well as Wang Xiaoya's sensitive nose, and she never expected that it would attract an instructor who was also extremely sensitive to smells.
However, the item has already entered the space, making it impossible to catch the person red-handed.
Zhang Ruobing stood in front of the bed.
She didn't speak, but simply took a deep breath.
The rich, sweet aroma, mixed with Wang Xiaoya's unique, faded soap and sweat smell, hit her nostrils.
"You two," Zhang Ruobing's voice was icy. She pointed at Su Tang, then at Wang Xiaoya, "what were you doing just now?"
Wang Xiaoya's body jerked violently, and she almost cried out.
Su Tang raised her head and met Zhang Ruobing's scrutinizing gaze, her face showing just the right amount of confusion and dissatisfaction at being disturbed from her sleep.
"Reporting to the instructor, we are sleeping." Her voice was calm, revealing no hint of guilt.
"Sleep?" Zhang Ruobing sneered, and the beam of her flashlight suddenly shone on Wang Xiaoya's face.
Wang Xiaoya was blinded by the glaring light and instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes.
"Put your hands down!" Zhang Ruobing shouted sternly.
Wang Xiaoya was so frightened that she shuddered and quickly put her hand down.
“I’m asking you, Wang Xiaoya,” Zhang Ruobing said, her tone laced with pressure, “what’s with this sweet smell around your bed? Don’t tell me you were dreaming about it!”
It's here!
Su Tang's heart sank slightly.
Wang Xiaoya's brain completely shut down. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word, only shaking her head desperately.
"Can't say anything?" Zhang Ruobing's patience seemed to have run out. She suddenly waved her hand and ordered the two disciplinary team members behind her, "Search! Search their beds inch by inch! Open all the cabinets, boxes, pillows, and blankets! I want to see what kind of shady things are hidden here!"
"yes!"
