Ning Rongrong had been a pampered young miss since childhood, showered with endless affection.
Deep down, she had always regarded Chen Feng as her lackey. To put it bluntly, Chen Feng was her dog.
But now, there was another girl by her dog's side, and from afar, that girl even seemed more outstanding than she was.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong felt as though she had suffered an unbearable injustice. Tears instantly slid down her cheeks, and her eyes reddened.
A surge of anger also rose uncontrollably within her.
"Chen Feng! You... you bastard!" Ning Rongrong roared furiously before charging over.
Chen Feng heard Ning Rongrong's voice as well. When he turned around, she was already standing before him.
Ning Rongrong stared at Chen Feng, then immediately hurled the things in her hands at him. Seeing them flying over, Chen Feng stepped forward at once and shielded Kamisato Ayaka behind him.
The objects struck Chen Feng rather than Kamisato Ayaka.
"Chen Feng, what are you doing?" Ning Rongrong stomped her foot and pointed at him. "Chen Feng! You... you actually dared to betray me!"
Chen Feng was no longer the simpering Chen Feng of the past, so naturally, he would not indulge Ning Rongrong. His eyes turned cold as he snapped, "Ning Rongrong, what the hell is wrong with you?"
Ning Rongrong pointed at Kamisato beside him and immediately demanded, "Who is she? Why are you with her?"
Chen Feng looked at Ning Rongrong with icy eyes and replied coldly, "Ning Rongrong, what am I to you? Who she is, what does that have to do with you?"
Ning Rongrong froze.
That was right. Although Chen Feng had always cared for her over the years—
she had never given him any status. Even the "Brother Chen Feng" she had called him since childhood had become simply "Chen Feng."
So what did the people around Chen Feng have to do with her?
But how could she possibly accept that?
Chen Feng was clearly her lackey. Why could he be so intimate with another girl? Why did he ignore her completely and even dare to yell at her?
"Y-you bastard! You... let go of her!" Ning Rongrong said in a flustered rage.
Seeing Ning Rongrong acting like a shrew, Kamisato Ayaka was startled. She softly asked Chen Feng, "C-Chen Feng, who is she?"
Hearing that, Chen Feng took a deep breath. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you later."
"Mm." Kamisato Ayaka nodded obediently, without blaming Chen Feng in the slightest.
Because she knew there had to be a reason for all this. She was willing to hear Traveler's explanation.
Hearing those words, Ning Rongrong nearly went mad with rage.
"Chen Feng, how could you betray me?" Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately reddened. Tears streamed down uncontrollably as she choked out her words, yet even while crying, she still pointed at Kamisato like a shrew.
"I know! It must be her, it must be this little slut—"
Slap—
Before Ning Rongrong could finish, a loud crack rang through the air.
It was the sound of Ning Rongrong being slapped.
"Y-you hit me."
Ning Rongrong clutched her cheek, her eyes wide as she stared at Chen Feng in disbelief.
Chen Feng said indifferently, "Ning Rongrong, who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of insulting Ayaka?!"
Chen Feng's tone was stern and earnest, without the slightest hint of pretense.
At last, Ning Rongrong could no longer hold back her tears.
She covered her cheek as tears continued to pour down her face.
"You hit me... You actually hit me because of her?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head in disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears as they ran down her pretty face.
"So what if I hit you? That was going easy on you!"
"If it weren't for Uncle Ning and Grandpa, you wouldn't have gotten off so lightly. Ning Rongrong, you need to understand that the world doesn't revolve around you alone.
I hope that from now on... you conduct yourself properly!"
Chen Feng's voice remained calm and unruffled. Then he looked at Kamisato Ayaka and said, "Ayaka, let's go."
After saying that, Chen Feng left with Kamisato, leaving Ning Rongrong alone in the wind, utterly disheveled.
She stared at Chen Feng's retreating back. "Fine, Chen Feng, just you wait! I'll definitely tell Father and have him punish you.
No, Father will surely forgive you. Once I reach Shrek Academy and find new companions, I'll definitely make you pay."
She had never imagined that her former lackey, the dog she had ordered around at will, someone who had once been so lowly, would now actually dare—actually dare—to hit her.
Inside an inn.
Chen Feng brought Kamisato inside.
Chen Feng poured Kamisato a cup of tea and said, "It may not have such a beautiful atmosphere, but you can try the hot tea from our world."
Chen Feng poured himself a cup as well. Though he called it his world, this was also his first time drinking tea from Douluo Continent.
Kamisato was the young miss of the Kamisato Clan in Inazuma and had studied the art of tea since childhood. She lifted the hot tea, took a small sip, and savored it. "Mm, it's quite good."
Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled faintly. "Then let's have something to eat!"
The two ordered some food. Then Chen Feng looked at Kamisato Ayaka and said, "That girl just now... could probably be considered my little sister!"
Hearing this, Kamisato nodded slightly. However, she said nothing and simply listened to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng did not explain too much. He merely told her the story of "Chen Feng" from the original owner's memories and Ning Rongrong over the years.
Hearing how deeply devoted "Chen Feng" had once been, Kamisato could not help but feel moved.
Chen Feng gave a self-mocking laugh. "Ayaka, do you think I was very foolish back then?"
Ayaka shook her head. "No, Traveler was not foolish. Deep affection is never wrong; you simply gave those feelings to the wrong person."
"What about you? If someone treated you with such deep affection, what would you do?" Chen Feng asked Kamisato.
Kamisato thought for a moment before answering, "If someone treated Ayaka with such deep affection, Ayaka would definitely be very touched."
"And what if, in the future, I gave all that devotion and affection to you, Ayaka?" Chen Feng pressed on, continuing to ask.
At that moment, Kamisato was like a steaming kettle. Her pretty face instantly flushed red as she said shyly, "Traveler's devotion... and affection... Ayaka, Ayaka..."
Seeing Kamisato blush, Chen Feng smiled slightly. "All right, all right. I was just teasing you."
Only then did Kamisato slowly calm down. Still, when she had heard Chen Feng's "confession," her heart had raced.
Perhaps she really had been moved.
