"Some things really can't be said face-to-face."
"You have no shame, but I do!"
Kong and Ma Hongjun thought to themselves.
Ning Rongrong was puzzled. Kong would not say it, and Ma Hongjun would not say it either, making her even more curious.
"Thank you."
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing broke the silence and spoke softly to Kong. Her voice was ethereal, carrying a trace of coolness.
Kong had repeatedly stressed that he simply could not stand Dai Mubai, but Zhu Zhuqing had seen everything he had done.
Why had he not stepped forward at any other time, only choosing to do so when she was in the greatest danger? How could he possibly just dislike Dai Mubai?
Kong's words had deeply touched Zhu Zhuqing's frozen heart.
"Have you ever considered that she simply wanted to live too?"
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt as though she had found a kindred spirit. She was overwhelmed with emotion!
She was just an eleven-year-old girl. How could she have ever seen something like this before?
Dugu Yan: "I haven't seen it either!"
Everyone present, so long as they had eyes, could see the affection in Zhu Zhuqing's gaze. Even Ning Rongrong, who had little emotional intelligence, could tell.
Zhu Zhuqing liked Kong!
"Ooh, ooh, ooh!"
"Zhuqing!"
"A hero saves a beauty, and she offers herself in return. The way you look at Kong is practically melting!"
Ning Rongrong had no emotional intelligence to speak of. She simply said whatever was on her mind, without overthinking it.
Hadn't she fantasized about something like this before?
After saying that, Ning Rongrong's face turned slightly red, while Zhu Zhuqing's turned crimson!
With her girlish feelings exposed right to her face, her cold beauty persona instantly collapsed.
"Rong Rong!"
"I, I was just... just thanking Kong."
