Ning Rongrong's heart flutter?

Su Ling's current state was extremely terrifying.

His face was as pale as paper, fine cold sweat completely soaking his hair and clothes. He looked as disheveled as if he had just been fished out of water.

What was even more shocking was the trace of uncleaned bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, and a large patch of dark red bloodstains on his collar.

Every breath carried an abnormal, scorching heat, short and labored. His chest heaved violently, as if even the simplest act of breathing required all his strength.

"Little Ling! What's wrong?" Ye Wanqing abruptly stood up, her teacup shattering on the floor with a "crack."

She lunged towards Su Ling, her hands trembling as she supported him. Her voice carried an unprecedented killing intent: "Who hurt you? Tell Mom, I'll exterminate their entire clan."

Her eyes, usually as gentle as flowing water, were now as cold as ten thousand-year-old ice.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender quickly stepped forward. They exchanged a look, seeing both horror and relief in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu's kick that morning hadn't landed squarely, otherwise Shrek Academy would have been finished.

"This brat dared to bully Xiao Wu this morning, he was already courting death. But with the academy's current financial difficulties, we still need the Su Family's financial support, so let's spare his life for now!"

The moment Tang San saw Su Ling, his hand unconsciously reached for the Soul Tool at his waist, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. However, sensing a gaze watching him from the shadows, he quickly concealed his expression.

Xiao Wu cowered behind Tang San in fear, not daring to look at Su Ling. She had been terrified that morning, and now that he knew her true identity, she just wished to escape as quickly as possible.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Su Ling's legs could barely support his weight. He took two unsteady steps forward before uncontrollably falling forward.

Ye Wanqing caught him swiftly, her eyes instantly reddening. "What nonsense are you talking about! This isn't just being tired?"

She sensed the chaotic soul power within Su Ling and the severe damage to his meridians. Her voice couldn't suppress her anger and heartache: "What happened? Who hurt you? Our Su Family has never feared anyone!"

She turned to look at Yu Xiaogang and Flender, her gaze sharp as knives.

The two men repeatedly waved their hands, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

Flender quickly explained, "Madam Ye, Heaven and Earth can bear witness, we have been guests here all day and could not possibly have laid a hand on Young Master Su."

"Besides, he was fine when he left. We don't know what happened..."

Ye Wanqing snorted coldly, clearly displeased with the explanation.

She carefully helped Su Ling to the sofa, condensing a soft green light in her palm and gently pressing it against his chest.

After a period of treatment, Su Ling's unfocused eyes finally gained some clarity.

He blinked and looked at the Shrek group surrounding him with concern, falling into silence.

"Mom... what are you guys doing..." Su Ling looked up in confusion, feeling like his own mother had defected.

He was furious and trembling. He had paid a huge price to draw aggro this morning, but his mother... The minister wishes to die in battle, why has Your Majesty surrendered first?

Ye Wanqing coughed lightly and explained, "Little Ling, today's events were all a misunderstanding."

"Master Yu and the others came to treat their disciples' injuries, so they were a bit anxious, which led to the fight."

"Now the misunderstanding is cleared up, and they've apologized. Besides, you were indeed too much towards that little girl earlier."

Su Ling almost spat out a mouthful of old blood upon hearing this.

He forced himself to sit up straight, his gaze sweeping across the Shrek group, finally landing on Tang San. He pointed directly at him, "Mom... look at that kid's hypocritical face, it's practically written all over him that 'you are courting death'."

"If we don't eliminate him now, he will surely become a disaster in the future. Perhaps our Su Family will be ruined by his hands!"

His voice was weak yet firm, each word piercing Tang San like a knife.

He clearly remembered that in his First Life, it was this Little Scoundrel who killed him, causing his mission to fail.

Tang San's smile froze instantly, and a storm raged in his heart.

He hadn't expected Su Ling to see through his thoughts at a glance. Cold sweat broke out on his back. Had he inadvertently revealed his killing intent when he thought of "courting death"?

Everyone looked in the direction Su Ling was pointing. They saw Tang San's stiff expression, a flicker of panic in his eyes, but he quickly regained his humble and gentle demeanor.

"Young Master Su, do you dislike me?"

"You bullied my sister this morning, and I didn't even care..."

Tang San suppressed his killing intent and put on a wronged expression.

"I dislike Little Scoundrels who have a middle part, don't wear overalls, and can't play basketball."

Su Ling coldly interrupted, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

Tang San's mouth twitched. This reason was utterly ridiculous.

Forget it. I, the pure and chaste Buddha Tang, will not stoop to the level of this brat.

After a long silence, Flender broke the deadlock, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Haha... I think Young Master Su fancies our Rongrong, which is why he's targeting Little San."

He had already noticed Su Ling's occasional glances at Ning Rongrong.

As for the so-called "bullying" of Xiao Wu, there was no lecherous intent in his eyes; instead, his attention towards Ning Rongrong was more obvious.

"Hey!" Ning Rongrong was startled, her pretty face instantly flushed red. She stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger: "Dean, what nonsense are you talking about!"

She secretly glanced at Su Ling, meeting his noble Golden Eyes and exceptionally handsome face, and internally screamed like a marmot:

He's so handsome, his gaze, his posture, his demeanor, it's too captivating!

No, no!

Ning Rongrong shook her head desperately, her head wobbling like a rattle drum, but the blush on her face grew more obvious, even her earlobes turned crimson.

"This is too childish... too embarrassing."

She resisted in a low voice, her heart filled with shame, her eyes darting around, her hands unconsciously twisting together:

"What's wrong with me? In this life and the previous one, I'm almost 40, how can I still have my heart race for a young man? How embarrassing."

The scene of the maiden's shyness shattered the hearts of all the males in Shrek.

Dai Mubai's face turned ashen, his fists clenched so tight they creaked--he had been pursuing Ning Rongrong for a long time, and he never expected a kid he just met to get there first.

Tang San's expression also couldn't be maintained, his eyes carrying undisguised jealousy and a sinister gloom.

He had thought Ning Rongrong had a good impression of him, but unexpectedly, her attention was so easily snatched away by Su Ling.

Su Ling's upper eyelids drooped slightly, his eyelids half-covering his eyes, his pupils cast slightly downward, his gaze towards Ning Rongrong carrying almost undisguised disdain.

As expected of a Mary Sue Heroine, her schemes are truly deep.

She easily made all the male protagonists' hatred for him skyrocket.

"Host, Host, pay attention to your character setting!"

"You are now the obsessive male supporting character in the drama who loves the Heroine but can't have her. Please put away that look of disdain!"

"Honestly, it's precisely because you don't pay attention to details and your acting isn't up to par that you've failed so many times!"

A furious electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind from the system.

"My acting is bad, you do it if you can!"

Su Ling retorted angrily at the system in his mind, looking at Ning Rongrong's shy maiden-like appearance, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

This was a Heroine who could create a harem in reverse in a male-oriented novel.

Just looking at her gave him goosebumps, how could he possibly act as a simp tool?
