Ning Rongrong Cries Again After Being Scolded

"So what?"

"Shouldn't you have helped me order first?"

With her hands on her hips, Ning Rongrong looked like a shrew berating someone in the street as she questioned Gu Yi.

Gu Yi sneered and retorted, "Why should I help you order first? Who are you to me?"

"I... I'm the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master! You should be helping me order first!"

Ning Rongrong's chest heaved furiously as she shouted with righteous indignation.

"Hah! I'm the grandson of the Chief Seated Elder. If we're talking status, I'm not much lower than you."

"Waiting on you and helping you order food are things your servants should do, not me."

Gu Yi shot back, overpowering her in sheer force of presence.

Ning Rongrong was left speechless, but the anger in her heart refused to fade. Clenching her fists, she demanded as if she had nothing left to lose, "Gu Yi! How long are you going to keep this up?"

"Is it fun pretending every day that you don't care about me?"

"Didn't you come to Shrek Academy just so you could cling to me again?"

"You're close to Zhu Zhuqing because you want me to see it and get jealous, aren't you?"

"Every time you save me, you make excuses and say it wasn't voluntary. Do you really think I believe that?"

"I'm giving you one last chance! If you still don't apologize to me today, don't even think about going back to how things were!"

Ning Rongrong acted as though she had seen through everything, her tone still lofty and imperious. In her fantasy, Gu Yi's previous "refusal to repent" was only because they had not made things clear enough.

Now that she had issued her final ultimatum, Gu Yi would surely drop to his knees and beg for forgiveness at once, becoming the Gu Yi she remembered.

The Gu Yi who obeyed her every command.

But before her little fantasy could finish playing out, Gu Yi's grating sneer reached her ears.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Every burst of laughter was dripping with mockery, making everyone present frown.

The way they looked at Ning Rongrong was full of confusion. They truly had not expected her to think of Gu Yi that way.

Though they had not known him for long, they had more or less figured out Gu Yi's personality. He was absolutely not the utterly pathetic, scheming man Ning Rongrong described.

"What are you laughing at? Was I wrong?" Ning Rongrong frowned. Things seemed to be developing differently from what she had imagined.

Why was Gu Yi still not kneeling down to admit his mistake? Did he really want her to ignore him forever?

She watched the changes in Gu Yi's expression, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

Gu Yi's wild laughter stopped, and his cold face gradually became indifferent.

"So that's what you've always thought?"

"You're even more pathetic than I imagined, Ning Rongrong."

"Your imagination never fails to open my eyes."

"Go back to how things were? Do you really think I give a damn about how things were?"

No wonder he had made himself so clear, yet Ning Rongrong still acted as if she had heard nothing.

So from the very beginning, she had taken all of this as his way of trying to win her back.

She really could make things up in her head. Just how much had the original owner worshipped her to create such a bizarre way of thinking?

"Gu Yi! Stop beating around the bush with me. Today, what exactly do you mean?"

Hearing Gu Yi's mocking words, Ning Rongrong's pretty face was filled with fury as she questioned him again.

Gu Yi did not waste any time. He slowly walked up to her and said coldly, "You want to know what I mean?"

"Fine! I'll make it clear to you again today! Listen carefully and stop making up nonsense in your head. Explaining it is seriously exhausting!"

"Listen up! I'm no longer even remotely interested in an idiot like you who has no figure, loves making things up, and has a terrible temper!"

"Do you understand? Do you need me to repeat it?"

Gu Yi practically roared every word of that speech. His imposing manner was like an erupting volcano, leaving everyone present too stunned to move. They even unconsciously held their breath.

Ning Rongrong was completely stunned by the furious shouting. She stared at Gu Yi in disbelief, her mind blank.

She never could have imagined that Gu Yi would dare speak to her like that. He... actually dared to yell at her?

Making things up? Had everything before really just been her wishful thinking?

He had always treated her so well before. How could he just change his heart like that? What did Zhu Zhuqing have that was better than her?

For the sake of a woman like that, he was actually yelling at her now and humiliating her in public!

The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the volcano in her heart erupted. Endless anger and grievance instantly filled her mind.

"Gu Yi! Go die!"

Ning Rongrong screamed at Gu Yi hysterically. Unable to hold back the tears in her eyes any longer, she burst into tears and ran out of the academy.

"Th-this isn't very good, is it, Gu Yi? Shouldn't you go comfort her?"

Watching Ning Rongrong's sorrowful retreating figure, Oscar could not bear it and cautiously suggested it.

"I think Brother Yi did nothing wrong. Ning Rongrong looks down on Brother Yi way too much. Brother Yi, I'm with you!"

Ma Hongjun, however, acted as though it had nothing to do with him. As he spoke, he gave Gu Yi a thumbs-up.

Dai Mubai watched from the side. He disliked both Gu Yi and Ning Rongrong enough, so no matter what happened between them, he could hardly be bothered to care.

What he wanted to see most now was Gu Yi struggling at his feet like a dead dog.

Zhu Zhuqing also watched everything quietly. In her eyes, as long as Gu Yi did not get taken advantage of, anything was fine.

Besides, Ning Rongrong had slandered Gu Yi so badly just now that a faint anger had risen in her heart as well. If Ning Rongrong had not fled in embarrassment, she might have stepped in herself.

"If you want to comfort her, then go ahead. I won't stop you." Gu Yi glanced at Oscar and spoke calmly.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong had originally been a couple in the original story. Since he now wanted to seize this chance to show her kindness, Gu Yi naturally would not stop him.

That would also save him from being tormented by Ning Rongrong again.

But although Oscar said he wanted to go, after struggling with it in his mind for a long time, he still could not move his feet.

He had some fondness for Ning Rongrong, but what had just happened completely shattered her image in his heart.

Oscar sighed and said helplessly, "Sigh... forget it. It's fine that she left like this. Otherwise, with her personality, things like this probably won't be rare in the future."

After saying that, he took one last deep look in the direction Ning Rongrong had gone, then turned back and looked toward Shao Xin, who was busy at work.

At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong ran out at full speed while sobbing loudly. Judging by her direction, she seemed to be heading for Suotuo City.

But after she ran off, a figure suddenly emerged from the bushes by the academy entrance.

He stared in shock at Ning Rongrong's gradually vanishing back, unable to believe it.

"The little witch actually cried? And cried so miserably? Could something have happened?"

"I need to report this to the Sect Master as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the figure took a blue-glowing orb from his pocket. After murmuring a few words softly, he activated it with Soul Power.

Immediately afterward, a streak of azure light shot into the sky and sped toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Meanwhile, he quickly chased after Ning Rongrong.
