Reunion, the Golden-Haired Beauty Jiang Nannan

"Hehe."

Xue Nianbing shook his head with a smile, then changed the subject. "Let's eat outside. I happen to be meeting someone, also an Outer Court student. Let's wait here first."

"Waiting for someone? A guy or a girl?" Wang Dong asked instinctively.

"A girl."

Xue Nianbing said.

Hearing that, Wang Dong's expression became slightly unnatural as she continued asking, "Is she the girlfriend you mentioned yesterday?"

"No."

Xue Nianbing shook his head.

"I see..." For some reason, Wang Dong suddenly felt happy.

She stood beside Xue Nianbing and quietly waited with him.

Who knew how much time passed.

A group of students in purple uniforms poured out of the Teaching Building. They were all fourth- and fifth-year students.

Among the crowd, one female student was particularly eye-catching.

The moment she walked out in front, she drew countless gazes.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman with long, wavy golden hair. Her features were delicate and lovely, while her skin was fair as snow and nearly flawless.

Her eyes resembled a pool of clear water, and every glance she cast carried an elegant, refined air.

Her figure was equally perfect—tall and graceful, with beautiful curves, a slender waist, rounded hips, and straight, long legs that seemed full of elasticity.

The woman paused on the road, her beautiful eyes sweeping across her surroundings before finally settling on a familiar figure.

Seeing the golden-haired woman look their way, Wang Dong immediately had a guess. "Xue Nianbing, is she the person you're waiting for?"

Before Xue Nianbing could answer, the golden-haired woman's voice reached them.

"Nianbing!"

Her voice brimmed with surprise and deep longing.

Then, beneath Wang Dong's gaze and the watchful eyes of everyone nearby, the golden-haired woman flew into the arms of the blue-haired young man.

Crack!

It was as though the sound of hearts shattering rang out invisibly.

The male students who had feelings for the golden-haired woman looked as if they had been struck by lightning, staring at the scene in utter disbelief.

Why?!

Why could a new student hold their goddess in his arms?!

Wang Dong beside them was dumbfounded as well.

Didn't he say they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend?

Was there any difference between what they were doing and a young couple passionately in love after a long separation?

Especially that golden-haired woman—the tender affection in her eyes was practically wrapping Xue Nianbing up from head to toe.

Watching this, Wang Dong unconsciously puffed out her cheeks and secretly grumbled, Even if they've been apart for a long time, they should mind the occasion. She isn't reserved at all.

Under Wang Dong's resentful and inexplicable stare, Xue Nianbing looked at the girl in his arms and chuckled. "Nannan, it's been a long time. You've become prettier and prettier."

"Really?"

Jiang Nannan looked at Xue Nianbing delightedly.

"Mm."

Xue Nianbing nodded with a smile.

Jiang Nannan's heart filled with joy. She then carefully examined Xue Nianbing and said softly, "Nianbing, you've become much more handsome than before too."

"The way you say that makes it sound like I wasn't handsome before." Xue Nianbing sounded displeased.

"Of course not!"

Jiang Nannan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Nianbing has always looked good. Whether it was when you were little or now, you've always looked very handsome!"

"I like hearing that."

Xue Nianbing smiled, completely unapologetic.

Wang Dong rolled her eyes beside them, but she could not refute it. Xue Nianbing truly was absurdly handsome.

"Nannan, let me introduce you."

"This is Wang Dong, my special roommate."

Xue Nianbing introduced her.

"Special roommate?" Jiang Nannan paused, somewhat confused.

Xue Nianbing smiled and leaned down to whisper a few words into Jiang Nannan's ear.

"Hey, Xue Nianbing, you can't do that!" Wang Dong only realized what was happening now and immediately panicked.

But it was already too late.

Xue Nianbing had already told Jiang Nannan about her dressing as a boy.

Jiang Nannan stared blankly at Wang Dong. After pondering for a moment, she took the initiative to extend her hand and smiled. "Hello, Dong'er. My name is Jiang Nannan. I'm Nianbing's... friend."

"Friend?"

Wang Dong immediately rolled her eyes. Who the hell would believe that?

Still, she was not someone without manners.

Wang Dong revealed a smile and shook Jiang Nannan's hand. "Hello... Don't tell others about my identity like Xue Nianbing did."

"I'll definitely keep it secret."

Jiang Nannan nodded with a gentle smile, her voice soft.

Wang Dong's expression froze slightly at those words, before she smiled and nodded as well.

Although she felt a little jealous of how intimate Jiang Nannan and Xue Nianbing were, Jiang Nannan was quite polite. Naturally, Wang Dong would not slap a smiling face.

"Nannan, stand properly first. We should get going."

Xue Nianbing reminded her.

With Jiang Nannan constantly pressed against him, the pure fragrance of a maiden on her body wafted into his nose, making it inevitable for other thoughts to arise.

Besides, he was already a man—and a man who was a little bit lecherous.

Thus, he had no particularly strong resistance to such matters.

"Oh..."

Jiang Nannan also realized that what she was doing was inappropriate and immediately pulled away.

Her face flushed red. She secretly glanced at Xue Nianbing from the corner of her eye, and when she saw that he was still looking at her, she could not help lowering her head shyly again.

Wang Dong: "..."

Xue Nianbing: "???"

He remembered that Jiang Nannan had not been this shy before.

What had happened over the past few years?

Had her heart begun to stir?

If that was the case, then he, Xue, would stop being a gentleman. Liuxia Hui's approach simply did not suit him.

"Let's go."

Xue Nianbing chuckled and took Jiang Nannan's little hand as they left.

"Mm." Jiang Nannan responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. Not only did she not resist, she instead felt inexplicably happy.

Seeing this, Wang Dong puffed out her cheeks even more.

She also wanted to do that, just a little...

But when she considered the identity she currently presented to others, it truly was inappropriate to hold hands with Xue Nianbing or anything like that.

Should I... return to being a girl? Wang Dong secretly thought.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she rejected the idea.

If she returned to being a girl, she would not be able to stay in the same dormitory as Xue Nianbing. Then how could she get close to him—no, how could she take revenge?

"This is so troublesome."

For the first time, Wang Dong felt that dressing as a boy had been a mistake that left her stuck between advancing and retreating.

She sulked by herself.

If she was unhappy, Xue Nianbing should figure it out.

Unfortunately, Xue Nianbing was currently chatting with Jiang Nannan.

So Wang Dong became even angrier.

Soon, the three of them left the academy and wandered around Shrek City.

Wang Dong directly turned her grief and indignation into appetite, wanting a little of every snack she saw along the way.

Since Xue Nianbing was treating them, she naturally had to properly "bleed" him dry.

"Before I left the Heaven Dou Empire, I went to visit Auntie's home. Auntie is in good health now; she just misses you a little."

"When the academy goes on break, we'll go back together."

Xue Nianbing said with a smile.

"Mm."

Jiang Nannan nodded, then changed the subject and said emotionally, "Nianbing, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my mother might already have..."

"It's nothing."

Xue Nianbing smiled and waved his hand.

To him, saving Mother Jiang had been an extremely easy matter.

Jiang Nannan had been one of his few childhood playmates. That reason alone was enough for Xue Nianbing to lend her a helping hand.
