A Short Parting Makes the Reunion Sweeter Than a Wedding Night
Shrek's dining hall could hardly be called spacious.
It could even be described as a little shabby.
The wooden tables and chairs had been worn smooth and shiny, but the faint aroma of food still drifted through the air.
By now, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had arrived at the dining hall.
Ning Rongrong had discovered that Zhu Zhuqing looked cold on the surface, but was easy to get along with.
She didn't know what made the girl seem so cold.
At a table beside Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, Oscar sat with his head lowered, glancing at them from time to time.
As Oscar gazed at the feast for the eyes before him, he began to roar inwardly: So beautiful! They're really gorgeous! There aren't many girls in our year, but their quality is unbelievably high!
Oscar wore a lecherous grin, his gaze fixed mostly on Ning Rongrong.
As for Xiao Wu, there was no need to say it: she and Tang San were definitely a couple. As the saying went, a friend's wife was off-limits, so Oscar naturally had no designs on her.
And Boss Dai had taken a fancy to Zhu Zhuqing.
Boss Dai had never failed to win someone he had set his sights on, so Oscar naturally couldn't compete with him.
Only Ning Rongrong seemed to have no one vying for her.
Ning Rongrong wore an exquisite white dress. Her skin showed a bloody flush, and her brows and eyes were lively. As she chatted with Zhu Zhuqing, she would occasionally break into laughter like a string of silver bells.
The sun hung high overhead, and a beam of sunlight streamed through a side window, spilling warmly over Ning Rongrong.
Under the sunlight, Ning Rongrong was dazzling.
Looking at Ning Rongrong, as noble as a princess, Oscar couldn't help feeling a trace of inferiority.
He had originally planned to go over and strike up a conversation with her, but his legs felt as though they had been filled with lead. He couldn't make them move.
Just then, a sudden commotion came from the entrance to the dining hall.
Oscar wondered, Could Boss Dai and the others be here?
He immediately turned toward the entrance, only to see an unfamiliar figure walk in.
It was a remarkably delicate-looking young man, with handsome features and a clean, sunny bearing. From a distance, he looked almost as pretty as a girl.
Ning Rongrong had been chatting with Zhu Zhuqing and looking at the scenery outside the window when she suddenly felt her heart flutter.
She turned instinctively, and her gaze met Su Zui's.
At that moment, everything around them seemed to fall silent.
The scenery flowing past the window and the clamorous chirping of cicadas faded in an instant.
"Su Zui!"
Ning Rongrong didn't know how she had thrown herself into Su Zui's arms.
Her mind had gone blank, and all she could think of was Su Zui.
By the time she came to her senses again, Su Zui was holding her tightly in his arms.
The longing she had suppressed for days erupted all at once.
Ning Rongrong buried her little face deep in Su Zui's shoulder and greedily breathed in his scent.
Su Zui held the girl just as tightly, his right hand stroking the back of Ning Rongrong's head again and again.
As the saying went, a short parting made the reunion sweeter than a wedding night. The joy of meeting again after their long separation made Su Zui and Ning Rongrong want nothing more than to cling to each other.
Ning Rongrong no longer cared whether anyone was around. She cupped Su Zui's face in her little hands and gently pecked his lips with her rosy mouth.
Not far away, Oscar was utterly dumbstruck, as though he had been glued to his seat.
He heard a crack, as if something had shattered.
"Wh-what's going on? My love died right in the womb?"
For the first time, Oscar felt that the whole world was filled with deep malice toward him.
Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing also covered her mouth in surprise.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could recover, however, she saw Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun limp in, supporting each other.
The two of them looked utterly miserable.
Ma Hongjun's face and head were swollen, and his clothes were covered in shoe prints, naturally the work of a certain Little Rabbit.
Dai Mubai had only one injury, but it was especially shocking to behold.
His entire mouth had been kicked swollen, puffing up like a sausage.
How had Dai Mubai, who had been so full of spirit yesterday, ended up like this today?
Oscar was startled too and hurried over to support them.
"Wait, Fatty, Boss Dai, what happened to you two? How did you end up like this?"
As he spoke, Oscar and the others looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu behind Dai Mubai.
"Little San, what happened to Boss Dai and him? How did they end up in this state so early in the morning?"
"Don't tell me you two went out whoring and paid, and the people guarding the place beat you up?"
Oscar offered his analysis with a straight face, utterly oblivious to the increasingly cold look in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
"That can't be right either. Boss Dai, when have you ever paid to go whoring... mmph..."
Before Oscar could finish, Dai Mubai clapped a hand over his mouth.
Dai Mubai wanted nothing more than to kill Oscar. He could already feel that Zhu Zhuqing's gaze beside him had turned completely icy.
If Oscar said anything else so outrageous, Dai Mubai had no doubt that Zhu Zhuqing would blow up on the spot.
"Pathetic..."
Zhu Zhuqing was no longer in the mood to continue eating breakfast. She stood up and left.
Dai Mubai hurriedly tried to call out and make her stay, only to find that his mouth was swollen like a sausage and he couldn't speak at all.
Seeing the miserable state he was in, Dai Mubai shot Su Zui a resentful look.
It was all Su Zui's fucking fault. If not for him, how could Dai Mubai have ended up like this?
Besides, who the hell was this kid? He clearly hadn't been there when they enrolled yesterday, so how had he suddenly become a student at Shrek Academy today, with Dean Flender's personal permission no less?
But when he thought of Su Zui's nearly monstrous strength, Dai Mubai forced down his resentment.
As the saying went, ten years was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. He was no match for Su Zui now, so he could only bide his time.
Dai Mubai gave Oscar a hard thump, then pointed at his sausage mouth.
Oscar immediately understood and began to recite his incantation: "I Have a Big Sausage!"
Two flashes of light appeared, and two Big Sausages materialized in Oscar's hands.
Oscar handed the sausages to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
He kept muttering.
"Boss Dai, Hongjun, hurry and eat my sausages! You'll feel much better afterward!"
Although Oscar's words sounded a little suggestive, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun couldn't worry about that now. Each took one of his Big Sausages and ate it.
As soon as they ate the Big Sausages, their injuries began to improve visibly.
After recovering, Ma Hongjun cast a lingering, fearful glance at Su Zui. He had already put Su Zui on his list of people he must never provoke.
The man looked all smiles, but he struck so viciously. He was a smiling tiger through and through!
