Ning Rongrong gave full play to her abilities in the kitchen.

With a nimble turn, she said, "Oops! I accidentally bumped into Lin Feng."

Then, in a flurry of clumsy movements, she said, "Oops! I accidentally knocked over the bowl of water beside me. The water just happened to splash onto Lin Feng's collar."

"Sorry, Teacher! Let me wipe it for you!"

She immediately pulled out a little handkerchief and took the opportunity to reach for Lin Feng's abdomen.

Abdominal muscles! Here I come!

She had rehearsed this smooth "bump-and-grope" combo in her head all night!

Left alone where she was, Xiao Wu watched the kitchen instantly become crowded and lively, its chaotic scene somehow strangely harmonious, and suddenly felt a strong urge to join in.

"Maybe... maybe I should go see if there's anything I can help with?"

She muttered softly, but her feet involuntarily carried her over. Leaning against the kitchen doorway, she felt a little envious, yet also felt like there was nowhere for her to step in.

Ning Rongrong tried again and again to "accidentally" spill water on Lin Feng, but he seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and always managed to avoid it precisely without leaving a trace.

Ning Rongrong stamped her feet in frustration as her plans repeatedly failed.

After being "accidentally" bumped into once, Lin Feng had thoroughly seen through this little girl's schemes.

With his movement technique, she wanted to touch him?

Unless he was willing, she would not even get near the corner of his clothes.

Zhu Zhuqing was still the most honest. She silently chopped vegetables while coldly watching Ning Rongrong make trouble in every possible way.

She said nothing, merely swung her kitchen knife with loud thuds. The sound of chopping suddenly increased severalfold, expressing her dissatisfaction that way as she clenched her teeth tightly.

It was not as though she had never considered imitating her.

But in the end, she gave up.

There was nothing she could do. Her shamelessness simply could not compare to Ning Rongrong's!

Amid the chaos and the Clash of Swords, four dishes and one soup finally came out of the kitchen.

The chaos came from Ning Rongrong, while the Clash of Swords came from Zhu Zhuqing.

The rich aroma instantly spread through the room. Xiao Wu could not help swallowing, and just smelling it made her appetite surge.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had already experienced their teacher's cooking. They had filled their bowls early and were waiting eagerly to begin.

"Xiao Wu, what are you spacing out for?"

With rice in her mouth, Ning Rongrong called out indistinctly, "Go get yourself some food! What, aren't you hungry?"

Xiao Wu was briefly speechless.

How could she not be hungry? She was simply embarrassed! She was not made of iron!

Lin Feng saw Xiao Wu's awkwardness. In order to successfully win over this cabbage, he acted exceptionally considerate and proactively filled a bowl to the brim before handing it to her.

"Here, I've served you some. Sit down and eat."

That one small gesture nearly moved Xiao Wu to tears.

This feeling of being carefully looked after, of being valued... seriously, she was going to cry!

"Th-thank you!" Her voice was already a little choked.

Lin Feng waved his hand casually. "Why be so polite? Come over whenever you want to eat. You'll be fed until you're full!"

Xiao Wu's eyes reddened again.

It seemed Ning Rongrong had been right, and Zhu Zhuqing had not been wrong either.

He really was a good person!

Without realizing it, Lin Feng received another good person card.

Of course, the meaning behind this good person card was not entirely pure.

Right beside him was one person whose desire to become a Disrupting the Master was obvious, constantly thinking about rising to become the master's wife;

The other did not show it as clearly, but she would still secretly sulk whenever Ning Rongrong caused trouble.

After a ravenous meal, every plate and bowl was completely empty.

No matter how full one already was, delicious and nutritious food always made people struggle to take another couple of bites.

It was obvious that all three of them had the potential to become veteran Foodies.

The difference between ordinary people and Foodies was this: ordinary people were full after two bites, while Foodies could still take two more bites after they were full.

The scene just now was the best proof of that.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Wu carried the bundle containing her new clothes and treasures back to Shrek Academy.

Seeing Xiao Wu's cheerful face, the previously listless Tang San immediately hurried over to greet her.

But when he saw the elegantly packaged Shopping Bag in Xiao Wu's hand, his brows instantly furrowed.

"Xiao Wu, why did you buy so many things?"

There was reproach and a trace of jealousy in his voice. "How much did this cost?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head and thought about it. These were all High-Grade Goods selected by Ning Rongrong.

Without thinking much about it, she answered honestly, "Well, all of this together probably cost two or three hundred Gold Coins...!"

"Ah? Two or three hundred Gold Coins?"

Tang San was greatly shocked, and his voice rose several pitches. "You spent that many Gold Coins just to buy these clothes?"

He had not yet begun the Hidden Weapon business, so his life was still rather tight.

At this point, two or three hundred Gold Coins truly counted as an enormous sum for them.

He began lecturing her. "Where did you get so many Gold Coins?"

Then he suddenly remembered what Ning Rongrong had said before they left and hurriedly added, "Even if someone else gave them to you, won't you have to return the favor someday?"

Xiao Wu's good mood suddenly vanished. She felt Tang San was meddling a little too much. Even if she had to return the favor later, that was her own business, was it not?

Why was he getting so worked up? Could he not stand seeing her have a few more pretty clothes?

For no reason, Ning Rongrong's brainwashing words surfaced in her mind.

He did not understand the situation at all, yet his first reaction was to blame her for spending too much money?

Ning Rongrong had forced these things on her. She had initially refused them too.

However, Ning Rongrong had merely said calmly: if she would not accept them, then she might as well throw them away directly. Ning Rongrong never took back anything she had given away.

What else could Xiao Wu do? Was she supposed to stubbornly throw them away just to save face?

Sorry, Xiao Wu was not that kind of person.

Besides, it was not as if Ning Rongrong had only given things to her. Zhu Zhuqing had received equivalent items too, and she had accepted them as well.

Ning Rongrong was the young princess of the sect. Her Pocket Money alone amounted to tens of millions. She did not care about two or three hundred Gold Coins at all, okay?

She had casually thrown out one hundred Gold Coins just for having Zhu Zhuqing help clean up. What would Tang San think if he knew about that?

Xiao Wu suddenly felt exhausted. She could not be bothered to explain any further and had no intention of telling him Ning Rongrong's identity.

He did not understand her, nor did he understand the simple friendship between girls where, "I like you, so I'm happy to buy things for you."

He did not understand at all!

"Third Brother, I understand everything you're saying. I know what I'm doing."

Xiao Wu's tone became colder. "All right, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to hurry and take these things back to the dormitory and put them away."
