Early morning.
Yawning, the exhausted Zhou Chen slowly stepped out of his room.
At Zhou Chen's side, Zhu Zhuqing held his arm. Her gaze was cool and distant, with only a trace of tenderness in her eyes when she looked at him.
The two made their way to the academy cafeteria through the slightly chilly morning breeze.
The so-called cafeteria was really just Shrek Academy hiring a few nearby villagers as cooks, so the food was rather mediocre.
By the time they arrived, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were already there. At a dining table beside the three girls sat two teenage boys.
One of them was fair-skinned and handsome, looking around fourteen or fifteen years old. He was Oscar, whom Zhou Chen had met yesterday.
The other boy looked younger and was short and chubby, with short hair, small eyes, and cheeks puffed up with fat.
If Zhou Chen had guessed correctly, he was Ma Hongjun, the Evil Fire Phoenix who was always frequenting brothels and disappearing after getting laid.
"Chen Ge is here."
"Quick, sit over here with me."
The moment they saw the two enter, Tang San and the others greeted them warmly.
Ning Rongrong in particular waved Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing over to sit beside her. Her smile was dazzling, revealing two adorable dimples.
"So beautiful. She's Zhu Zhuqing, the one you mentioned, right?"
The fat Ma Hongjun stared blankly at the incomparably cool and beautiful Zhu Zhuqing, openly swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"Behave yourself. You'd better keep that evil fire of yours under control."
Oscar quickly jabbed him with an elbow and whispered, "Do you have a death wish? Do you know whose woman she is?"
Hearing that, Ma Hongjun narrowed his eyes. "Tell me."
"See that purple-clad youth beside her?
