Ning Rongrong's Plan

"It was Gu Yi!"

"Not only did he humiliate me in public, he even yelled at me and called me a flat-chested idiot!"

Ning Rongrong shouted furiously.

As she spoke, the scene from that time surfaced in her eyes once more. Tears blurred her vision again, making her look like she had suffered every possible grievance.

Ning Fengzhi's arrival gave her someone to vent to, but unless Gu Yi paid the price, the resentment in her heart would never fade!

Yet after hearing her words, Ning Fengzhi immediately frowned. He had thought the issue was with another student or perhaps a teacher, but he had never expected it to be Gu Yi!

"Gu Yi? How could he...?"

"Tell me everything that's happened these past few days in detail."

Ning Fengzhi was astonished. No matter how clever he was, he could never have imagined that the problem lay with Gu Yi.

He had watched Gu Yi grow up. He could say he knew the child's personality inside and out, and Ning Fengzhi had also seen Gu Yi's affection for Ning Rongrong with his own eyes.

By all rights, something like this should not have happened.

But after he finished listening to Ning Rongrong, he instantly understood where the problem lay.

Though most of her words had been heavily "polished," as her father, he could easily pick out the crucial information from her many accusations.

After filtering it through his mind, a simple and clear conclusion emerged.

Gu Yi no longer likes Rongrong. He might even dislike her a little.

As soon as he reached that conclusion, Ning Fengzhi began to feel slightly flustered.

He had thought they were both still young, so there was no need for him to interfere in matters of the heart. Sooner or later, Rongrong would be moved by Gu Yi's deep affection. Then everything would fall into place naturally and perfectly.

But now, it seemed things were starting to go off track!

It looked like he had no choice but to step in!

"Rongrong, stop crying. Crying won't solve anything."

"Since we've suffered such a grievance, we can't just leave with our tails between our legs, right?"

Ning Fengzhi gently comforted her as he rubbed Ning Rongrong's head.

"Mm!" Ning Rongrong answered, nodding hard.

Who was she? The Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! How could she possibly run away in disgrace like this?

A sly glint flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes as he continued, "Do you want Gu Yi to regret it? Do you want Gu Yi to treat you well again?"

"Do you want him to feel so ashamed he can barely face himself whenever he thinks of what happened yesterday?"

"Yes!" Ning Rongrong replied without hesitation, her eyes filled with expectation and determination.

She wanted that more than anything!

"Then from now on, you'll need to make a few small changes and endure a little."

"Since Gu Yi dislikes the way you are now, then we'll change!"

"You have a bad temper, right? Then we'll restrain ourselves a little. Your figure isn't good, right? Then we'll exercise more."

"We'll make Gu Yi get to know you all over again, make him fall for you again, and then make him regret it!"

"We have to make him apologize properly for what happened yesterday!"

Ning Fengzhi passionately laid out his plan, stirring Ning Rongrong's emotions.

Before the plan had even begun, Ning Rongrong was already imagining Gu Yi kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

Good! This was perfect! This was exactly how it should be!

"I understand! Dad, I'll definitely make him regret it!"

Ning Rongrong wiped away the remaining tears in her eyes and spoke firmly.

"Good. That's my good girl. Dad believes in you. You can definitely do it."

"But once you succeed, you must tell Dad. Then we'll discuss what we should do in the end."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction.

Luckily, the child was feeling down right now, so her brain was not working properly. Easy to fool.

Otherwise, the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might have been ruined in her hands!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was currently lacking in promising successors. Gu Yi was such a rare genius, and Ning Fengzhi could not bear to let him slip away like this.

He had originally thought that with Rongrong around, Gu Yi would surely settle down in the sect. Who would have thought she would stir up such trouble instead?

If Gu Yi truly left, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... would be in grave danger!

"Come on, let's return to the academy and apologize to Gu Yi properly."

"Otherwise, your plan can't get underway, you know~"

Ning Fengzhi rose with a smile and extended his right hand to Ning Rongrong on the bed.

"No, Dad, wait for me. I need to change clothes and wash my face first."

"I have to appear before him again in my most beautiful state!"

"I'll definitely make Gu Yi regret it!"

Shrek Academy, academy square.

"Pant, pant... How much longer is this going to last? If this keeps up, I'm really going to lose weight."

Ma Hongjun lay on the ground, nearly collapsed, panting heavily as he complained.

Zhao Wuji had been especially ruthless today. Compared to yesterday, the pressure was much greater.

"I don't know, but I can't take it anymore. I really don't know how Gu Yi can be so strong!"

"He's only sweating a little, like nothing even happened."

Oscar had also thrown himself into Mother Earth's embrace. As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yi with envy.

Dai Mubai was doing slightly better than the two of them. At least he could still stand, but he did not look happy in the slightest. His eyes stared venomously at Gu Yi, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On the other side, Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing sat on the platform by the square. As they rested, they enjoyed the cool breeze.

"If you really can't take it next time, don't force yourself. Training is good, but you have to know your limits."

"If you can hold on, then hold on a little longer, but you mustn't overdo it. Understand?"

Gu Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him with some heartache and softly advised her.

"I understand. But that way, I'll have an excuse to lean on your shoulder a little longer."

A happy smile bloomed across Zhu Zhuqing's pale face. Though her body was full of discomfort, as long as she leaned against him like this, her heart was filled only with warm happiness.

"This is your place. Lean on it whenever you want. No one will fight you for it, and no one could take it away anyway."

Gu Yi smiled and spoke gently.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing said nothing. She merely replied silently in her heart.

I know.

The two sat together on the platform like a beautiful scene. In such a tranquil and peaceful afternoon, this was how leisurely life ought to be.

Nearby, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were still sprawled on the ground, looking at Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing with eyes full of yearning and longing.

Meanwhile, there was now even more anger in Dai Mubai's venomous gaze.

Hold it in! Dai Mubai, don't act rashly. It's not time yet. Soon... just wait a little longer.

He had been constantly suppressing the fury in his heart, afraid that a moment of impulse would expose him.

But watching those two act so lovey-dovey every day, Dai Mubai was truly worried that one day he would no longer be able to endure it!

He only prayed for time to pass faster. Otherwise, if his molars did not crack, he would claw his palms to shreds!

"Yi'er, Grandpa has come to see you."

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice rang out beside everyone's ears.

Immediately afterward, the space in the center of the square twisted, and a black-robed figure abruptly appeared before them.

He was a muscular middle-aged man with jet-black hair. The moment he appeared, an oppressive aura instantly spread across the area.

Seeing the familiar figure before him, Gu Yi's heart trembled.

"Grandpa?"
