Her pretty face slightly flushed, Ning Rongrong nodded, then looped her arms around Ye Xingchen's neck.
She slowly buried her head in his chest and said with a smile:
"No, it's just that seeing how tired you were today made my heart ache a little. I bought you lots of food. See what you'd like to eat."
Glancing at the food on the table, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly.
With the Heaven Shading Method, all the injuries in his body could slowly heal on their own as it circulated, let alone such superficial wounds.
"I remember you once said that once I had two Soul Rings, you'd give yourself to me!"
Hearing this with her head buried in Ye Xingchen's chest, Ning Rongrong blushed slightly, and her body trembled.
But despite her extreme shyness, she did not resist, choosing instead to give her silent consent.
"It's already dark. What's the point of saying something like that to me?"
"We still have training tomorrow... you..."
Before she could finish, Ning Rongrong found her cherry lips sealed.
Looking at the handsome face drawing close, she broke into a happy smile.
She immediately nestled slowly against him, and with that, the light in the room gradually dimmed.
Meanwhile, in another girls' dormitory,
A somewhat distracted Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the moon outside the window, her heart filled with unease.
It was not that arriving in this unfamiliar environment unsettled her, but that, for the first time, she felt uneasy without that fellow beside her.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you seem a little off. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need my help?"
Seeing how anxious and uneasy Zhu Zhuqing looked, Xiao Wu, who was nearby, walked over and asked.
"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little irritable!"
Irritable?
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing say this, Xiao Wu felt a little irritable herself.
For some reason, ever since she had met that fellow, especially after he had exposed her identity,
She always felt that her greatest secret no longer existed, as though she were wearing no clothes before his eyes.
"I'm feeling a little irritable too. Zhu Zhuqing, have you ever met someone who left you distracted and uneasy?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing could not help freezing for a moment.
That fellow's figure immediately surfaced in her mind, making her feel a little more irritable.
But she turned to glance at Xiao Wu and asked calmly:
"Do you have that kind of trouble too? Aren't you together with that fellow dressed in blue?"
Xiao Wu shook her head, her expression calm. In the past, she would have told everyone without hesitation that Third Brother was her everything.
But ever since she had met that fellow, those feelings she had for Third Brother had long since vanished without a trace.
"He's just my older brother. There's nothing else between us!"
With her arms folded, Zhu Zhuqing smiled. She turned to glance at the moon outside the window and shook her head as she said:
"But I can tell that fellow called Tang San probably likes you a lot. If he knew you didn't like him, he'd probably be very sad!"
Finding it hard to put into words, Xiao Wu smiled. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing before her, she teased lightly:
"This isn't something you can joke about. If you meet someone you like one day, you'll find those people who like you uninteresting too!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing could not help nodding in agreement. She turned to glance at Xiao Wu and said with a smile:
"It looks like we get along pretty well. You count as my friend now!"
As the night settled in and the lights first came on,
In the dim dormitory, Ye Xingchen held the exhausted-looking Ning Rongrong in his arms. Glancing at the moon outside the window, he felt a faint sense of peace.
Gently stroking her fair back, he teased with a smile:
"It looks like our Little Demoness is tired already..."
Hearing the whisper by her ear, Ning Rongrong gave a soft huff, her pretty face slightly flushed. She clenched her little fists and thumped Ye Xingchen's shoulder as she said:
"Go to sleep, you... I'm so tired..."
Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly, his expression calm. With a casual wave of his hand, a stream of spiritual power slowly flowed into Ning Rongrong's body.
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful face beside him, he held her tightly and said with a smile:
"Sleep. I won't deal with you again, you tormenting little minx!"
Early the next morning,
Dai Mubai slowly arrived outside the dormitory door, carrying a carefully prepared breakfast. He coughed softly and was just about to knock when he found the door opening on its own.
Then Xiao Wu stepped out. Looking at Dai Mubai standing before her, she asked in confusion:
"What are you doing here? Isn't this the girls' dormitory?"
Dai Mubai smiled, his expression composed. He stole a peek inside and asked with a smile:
"Have you seen Zhu Zhuqing? I brought her breakfast!"
Breakfast?
Xiao Wu froze for a moment. She glanced at Dai Mubai before her, then said with distaste:
"It seems our senior really is an incurable womanizer. The new junior hasn't even been here a few days, and you already can't help confessing?"
Dai Mubai sighed, finding it hard to put into words. He did not know how to explain their relationship.
But he knew only that if he did not make another effort for this relationship, this beauty would probably fall into someone else's arms.
"Never mind that. Could you pass on a message for me? Just consider it a favor to me, all right?"
Hearing Dai Mubai say this, Xiao Wu smiled, then took the breakfast and walked inside.
Who could have known that a scolding would ring out from inside, followed by a cake being hurled straight out?
Had Dai Mubai not dodged quickly, his body would have suffered.
"What do you mean by this? I told you there's no such relationship between us. Stop coming here. I have no feelings for you!"
Then Zhu Zhuqing walked out, glanced at Dai Mubai, and spoke coldly with her arms folded.
Hearing this, the deeply miserable Dai Mubai could not help rubbing his head with a smile as he teased:
"Qing, could you please not be like this? We're engaged!"
"I liked you from the very first moment I saw you. Now that you've come to Shrek Academy, isn't this the perfect opportunity for us to spend time together?"
The shapely Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her expression cold, as she looked at the rather annoying and arrogant Dai Mubai before her.
With a casual wave of her hand, her soul power immediately began to spread slowly outward.
"Don't force me to act. I told you I'm not interested in you!"
Seeing this, Dai Mubai sighed. With the beauty rejecting him like this, he stopped continuing to impose on her shamelessly.
"What's going on here? Why are you even squaring off?"
Just then, Tang San also walked over carrying breakfast. He glanced at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing and asked with a smile:
"Sorry for the trouble, but please let Xiao Wu know I've brought her breakfast!"
