Du Cheng's gaze fell on Xiao Wu as he continued speaking:
"Once you've mastered the boxing techniques I taught you, they'll be far more useful than Grappling Technique."
"After all..."
After a brief pause, Du Cheng suddenly lowered his voice:
"I don't want to see you being so close to other boys."
"I..."
As Du Cheng's words left his mouth, Xiao Wu's face instantly flushed scarlet:
What does he mean?
Does Cheng Gege like me?
Da Ming had said that when someone met the person they liked, they became extremely possessive:
Cheng Gege is clearly a very generous person, yet he doesn't want me getting close to anyone else.
With that thought, Xiao Wu immediately reached a conclusion:
That's right, Cheng Gege likes me!
"I understand."
Having made her judgment, Xiao Wu's mood became even more cheerful:
There's nothing bad about being liked by Cheng Gege. Besides, Xiao Wu likes Cheng Gege too.
Though he had no idea why the girl was blushing one moment and happy the next, Du Cheng still reached out and rubbed her head:
"Didn't you want carrots? Here, this is for you."
"Wow~"
Seeing the carrot that had suddenly appeared in Du Cheng's hand, Xiao Wu could not help letting out a cry of surprise:
"It's so big, so hard, so pretty!"
As a qualified rabbit, Xiao Wu clearly had her own standards for judging carrots.
Before Du Cheng could say anything, she had already snatched the carrot from his hand and taken a crisp bite.
As expected, another compliment came from Xiao Wu's mouth:
"As expected of Cheng Gege's—mmph, it's so, so delicious!"
"If you like them, then eat more."
Seeing Xiao Wu's delighted expression, several more carrots appeared in Du Cheng's hand:
"Don't worry. Cheng Gege can have as many of these things as he wants."
"Thank you, Cheng Gege."
Watching Xiao Wu eat so happily, Du Cheng could not help feeling curious:
Are these things really that delicious?
Ever since he had gained Innate Full Soul Power, though, the carrots he summoned really were fresher than before, and they carried a faint, pleasant fragrance:
Perhaps that was why Xiao Wu was so excited?
"Thank you, Cheng Gege."
Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your Bond Value with Xiao Wu has increased by 5.
Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Advanced Lottery. When your Bond Value reaches 80, you may obtain an opportunity for a Top Lottery.
Hearing the system's voice ring out in his mind, Du Cheng was briefly stunned:
As expected of Xiao Wu. She always brings me surprises beyond my expectations!
What Du Cheng did not know was that while he had been talking with Xiao Wu, someone not far away had nearly crushed his teeth from gritting them so hard.
"Damn it, absolutely damn it!"
Clutching the broom in his hand, Tang San's face was filled with undisguised rage.
While sweeping earlier, he had happened to spot Du Cheng and Xiao Wu on the lawn.
Driven by some sort of curiosity, Tang San concealed his presence and hid nearby to spy on them.
At first, Tang San had merely seen Du Cheng touching Xiao Wu here and there, feeling her thighs and waist.
Though he was somewhat furious, Tang San felt that he could still endure it:
Once I become stronger, I'll just find an excuse to cripple Du Cheng—or even kill him.
But as time passed, Tang San finally could not bear it any longer:
"You slut, how could you do something like that?"
Because of the distance, Tang San could not clearly hear the conversation between Du Cheng and Xiao Wu.
Vaguely, he had only caught words like "so hard," "so big," "like to eat," and "a lot."
Even so, Tang San used his powerful imagination to piece together an inappropriate story and scene.
Thinking that the person he liked was doing that sort of thing with someone he hated, Tang San wished he could rush out and tear Du Cheng to pieces.
"Tang San, what are you doing?"
Just as Tang San's eyes were about to split with rage, Wang Sheng's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"I..."
Before Tang San could react, Wang Sheng had already run over to his side.
Following Tang San's line of sight, Wang Sheng's voice instantly rose:
"You weren't trying to secretly learn Cheng Ge's Ugly Ghost Eighteen Throws, were you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Sheng shot Tang San a look of contempt.
In his eyes, Tang San's actions were rather shameless.
An exquisite technique like Ugly Ghost Eighteen Throws would be extremely precious no matter where it was found.
Secretly learning someone else's moves was not something a decent person would do.
"I..."
"What's going on here?"
Before Tang San could offer a few words in his defense, Du Cheng and Xiao Wu had already walked over at some point.
"Cheng Ge, Tang San was hiding here acting all suspicious just now."
Before Tang San could speak, Wang Sheng eagerly voiced his guess:
"I suspect he was trying to secretly learn your techniques."
After speaking, Wang Sheng shot Tang San a vicious glare:
I, Wang Sheng, may be a fence-sitter, but I'm ashamed to associate with people like him.
"Oh?"
His gaze falling on Tang San, Du Cheng was slightly taken aback:
He's got so many Tang Sect Secret Techniques. Scum San shouldn't have fallen so low as to secretly learn someone else's moves, right?
But on second thought, it was not impossible:
After all, this is someone who didn't even spare his own sect.
"I didn't!"
Seeing the gazes of the people around him becoming increasingly strange, Tang San finally could not hold back any longer.
After glancing at Wang Sheng, Tang San spoke:
"I just happened to look over and heard you doing something you shouldn't have been doing over there."
At that point, Tang San's expression suddenly turned solemn and serious:
"Du Cheng, Xiao Wu is still young. How could you do that sort of thing to her?"
"Hm?"
To be fair, Tang San's words genuinely left Du Cheng confused:
What did I do? Is raising a childhood sweetheart somehow wrong?
"You..."
Seeing the blank look on Du Cheng's face, Tang San grew even angrier:
You damned bastard. You clearly did it, yet you still dare pretend to be innocent.
As the saying went, evil rose from the heart. Thinking that Xiao Wu was already tainted, Tang San no longer cared whether his words might hurt her.
"I heard it all just now."
Tang San swept his gaze around before suddenly raising his voice:
"You were over there just now, saying things like 'so big,' 'so hard,' 'so many,' and 'so delicious.'"
Uncontrollable envy and jealousy filled his eyes, and Tang San's fingers nearly dug into his own flesh:
"Du Cheng, do you dare say you didn't do that sort of thing to Xiao Wu?"
"Hiss—"
Because of their argument, it was no longer only members of Seventh Dormitory gathered nearby.
As Tang San's words left his mouth, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath immediately rose around them.
What was more, some people even looked at Du Cheng with admiration:
He even managed to win over a beauty like Xiao Wu. This guy is practically a role model for us all!
