"Of course, if you feel unlucky to have run into a roommate like me while disguised as a boy, you can apply to change dorms and find a roommate you're satisfied with."
"Since you have a thousand-year second soul ring, your identity must be unusual. So something like this would be very easy."
Xue Nianbing's expression was utterly calm, his voice steady.
He had no interest in playing any other games with someone when he already knew she was a girl disguised as a boy.
So it was better to lay everything out in the open.
After struggling with it for a long time, Wang Dong blushed and said, "I want to stay."
A voice in her heart had always been telling her that she had to stay, stay by Xue Nianbing's side, and never leave.
Besides, while Xue Nianbing was sharp-tongued and knew exactly how to annoy people, he was not bad at heart.
Moreover, after learning that she was a girl, Xue Nianbing could have pretended not to know and taken advantage of her.
But he had not. Instead, he had exposed her without hesitation.
From that point alone, Xue Nianbing's personality was rather comfortable to be around.
The only thing that depressed her was that after painstakingly disguising herself for so long, quite a few people had learned her true identity the moment she entered Shrek.
"I should've cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer first back then," Wang Dong muttered, feeling somewhat regretful.
"I respect your choice."
Xue Nianbing smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Wang Dong could not help but stare blankly, stunned by Xue Nianbing's smile.
Xue Nianbing usually gave people the impression of being aloof yet somewhat imposing. Now that he suddenly smiled as warmly as a spring breeze, it truly made people like him.
For a moment, she became intensely curious about Xue Nianbing.
Hmph, what kind of curiosity could make someone fall for another person? I, Wang Dong'er, won't fall that easily... But I still want to know.
"Let me remind you of something. If you want to stay here, you need to be mentally prepared," Xue Nianbing said.
"Prepared for what?"
Wang Dong froze, clearly not having thought that far ahead.
"Bathing, of course. There's one large bathing area per floor. Even with privacy partitions, it's inconvenient in every way—at least for you."
After explaining a little, Xue Nianbing's expression suddenly turned strange. "Or are you planning not to bathe at all?"
The moment those words came out.
"Xue Nianbing!"
Wang Dong stomped her foot in anger, immediately sprang up from the bed, and darted in front of Xue Nianbing. Flushed with embarrassment and fury, she snapped, "You're the one who doesn't bathe! You stink all over—you're just a stinky man!"
He actually said she did not bathe?
Slander. Pure slander.
She was fragrant Wang Dong'er.
Xue Nianbing smiled faintly. "For the sake of being roommates, I can give you a few suggestions."
"What suggestions?"
"Either go bathe in the girls' Dormitory Area upstairs, then change back into your disguise afterward, or rent a hotel outside and come back after you've bathed."
"Both are such a hassle. Isn't there anything more convenient?"
"There is..."
The corners of Xue Nianbing's lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile. He said mildly, "We can bathe together. I'll reluctantly keep watch for you."
The moment those words came out.
"Xue! Nian! Bing!"
Wang Dong's face instantly turned red as she erupted in complete fury.
She lunged at him directly, clawing and flailing.
Xue Nianbing smiled faintly, accurately caught Wang Dong's wrist, pulled her over, and pinned her onto the bed.
"Ah!"
Wang Dong let out a startled cry, and even her voice changed, becoming a pleasant girl's voice.
Looking at Xue Nianbing before her, she could not help swallowing as she asked in fear, "Y-you... what are you going to do...?"
"Nice voice. I'm rather curious what you really look like."
Xue Nianbing smiled, then slowly extended his hand.
"Y-you're going too far! I'm really going to get angry!" Wang Dong struggled fiercely, but before Xue Nianbing, she was no different from a child.
As Xue Nianbing's evil hand drew closer and closer.
"Xue Nianbing, you bastard..." Wang Dong's face grew redder and redder. After cursing him in a tearful voice, she closed her eyes as though resigning herself to her fate.
But the expected touch never came.
Wang Dong instinctively opened her eyes and saw Xue Nianbing's evil hand stopped before her face.
Just as she thought his conscience had finally kicked in.
Xue Nianbing pinched her little nose between two fingers and smiled faintly. "Feels pretty good."
After saying that, he released Wang Dong and let her get up.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
Leaning against the desk, Xue Nianbing looked at Wang Dong with a light smile. "The suggestions I made were only for your reference. If you think I'm meddling, you can ignore them."
The reason he had done all this was nothing more than to test things again and again.
The result was very satisfying.
Wang Dong'er had nearly fallen victim to his "evil hands," yet God King Tang had shown no reaction at all.
This proved that the God Realm had completely lost contact.
Without that peeping maniac, God King Tang, he could cause trouble freely from now on.
"Hmph!"
Wang Dong sat on the bed, her big eyes fixed on Xue Nianbing. A mist of tears gathered in her eyes, as if she had suffered an enormous grievance.
"Are you going to cry?"
Xue Nianbing asked tentatively.
It would have been better if he had said nothing. The moment he spoke, Wang Dong felt even more aggrieved.
Two trails of tears slipped from her moist eyes.
Xue Nianbing: "..."
Uh, had he really gone too far?
Probably not... but it was hard to say.
Wang Dong'er's mind was ultimately not as mature as his, and she had grown up being pampered in every way.
After he had messed with her like this, it seemed he had truly made her cry.
Xue Nianbing sighed softly, stepped forward, and rubbed Wang Dong's head. "What I said earlier really was inappropriate. Don't take it to heart. I apologize..."
Xue Nianbing, you're really hateful! Wang Dong grumbled inwardly.
Ever since she could remember, she had never suffered this kind of bullying.
She was going to change dorms... No, she could not change!
If she left just like that, she would have no way to teach Xue Nianbing a lesson and avenge herself.
She had to stay. She absolutely had to stay.
Wang Dong quickly figured it out. She immediately lifted her little face and said magnanimously, "I won't hold it against you. I'll reluctantly forgive you."
"Hehe."
Xue Nianbing chuckled without caring. Then he changed the subject and deliberately asked as though he did not know, "So your name as a girl is also Wang Dong?"
"No."
Wang Dong shook her head. "My real name is Wang Dong'er. What do you think? Isn't it nice?"
"It's..."
Under Wang Dong's expectant gaze, Xue Nianbing continued, "Awful."
"You!"
Wang Dong did not even know what to say. She immediately stood up, returned to her own bed, and angrily burrowed beneath the covers to sleep.
She decided that if she spoke to Xue Nianbing again today, she would be a puppy.
"Going to sleep so early?"
Xue Nianbing casually asked.
"..."
Wang Dong remained silent and did not respond.
Xue Nianbing continued, "By the way, did you bathe today?"
"..."
Wang Dong nearly exploded, but she still forcibly held herself back.
The constantly trembling covers showed just how angry Wang Dong was at that moment.
"Really asleep?"
Xue Nianbing muttered, then walked to Wang Dong's bedside and reached out to poke her.
Wang Dong did not say anything, but she instantly turned around and glared at Xue Nianbing, her expression seemingly asking: What do you want?
