Jealousy

Thump, thump!

Huo Yuhao, who witnessed this scene from not far away, felt each beat of his heart grow unbearably heavy.

"Dong'er... Dong'er was actually leaning into another man's arms."

When he looked again, Wang Dong'er had not moved away. Her cheeks were still flushed, her expression bashful as she nestled against Jiang Mu's chest, letting out sweet, muffled moans.

They looked as sweet as could be, a perfect match, a couple made in heaven—while he seemed like a dog watching from the sidelines.

"Dong'er..."

Just two words, spoken so softly they seemed devoid of all strength, yet they clearly reached Jiang Mu's ears.

Everyone nearby had long assumed it was just a young couple having a spat and did not want to intrude on their romance, so they had all left to mind their own business. The area was now rather empty.

Jiang Mu froze for a moment. Was there someone here who knew Wang Dong'er?

Curious, he turned around to look.

"?"

Huo Yuhao?

Though Huo Yuhao still looked as bedraggled as he had yesterday, he was able to walk normally now.

His HP had actually gone up. He had recovered more than half of it, and he was even in better shape than Bei Bei?

This...

Jiang Mu looked somewhat surprised.

Wang Dong'er, nestled in his arms, turned with him. Embarrassment had truly dulled her hearing, and only when she turned around and saw someone did she realize that someone had called her name.

But she did not know him.

She usually stayed at the Clear Sky Sect, and when she came to Shrek Academy, she had always disguised herself as a boy. She had only just changed back into women's clothes.

"Who are you? Why do you know this lady?"

"Dong'er, I..."

Huo Yuhao stammered, but seeing that Wang Dong'er still showed no intention of separating herself from Jiang Mu's embrace, his words caught in his throat.

Could he say it? He could not. Wouldn't that just be admitting that he had been cuckolded?

Besides, they truly did not know each other. Saying something incomprehensible under these circumstances would be inappropriate.

Huo Yuhao, who had returned after reincarnation, recalled the patience he had shown before and suppressed the questions he wanted to ask.

"Mm, we met before at the Clear Sky Sect."

"Huh?"

That completely baffled Wang Dong'er. How could she have no impression of him if they had met at the Clear Sky Sect?

She looked Huo Yuhao up and down in confusion, then suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the person who had pestered her yesterday?

He had acted as though he knew her well. Not only could he call her Wang Dong, but he could even call her Wang Dong'er?

Could he be an assistant sent by her First Dad and Second Dad?

But why send a man? And such a weak one at that?

At that thought, Wang Dong'er's gaze filled with disdain and disgust.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu smiled and tightened his hold around Wang Dong'er's smooth, delicate shoulder.

"Alright, stop being moody. School starts tomorrow. I'll take you back to the dormitory to sit for a while."

His killing intent was so high. Jiang Mu certainly would not let this chance to torment him slip away.

Wang Dong'er had no choice but to go along with him. She did not understand why her body went so limp whenever she touched Jiang Mu.

"Mmm... don't pull me..."

Her voice was soft and tender.

Huo Yuhao's face turned green!

No matter how well he could endure, seeing his future wife treated like this and hearing those suggestive words made it impossible for him to keep enduring!

"Spiritual Attack!"

A streak of white light burst from Huo Yuhao's eyes and shot toward Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu, his back turned, clearly sensed the attack. Yet he did not intend to defend himself. Instead, the corners of his lips rose as he went with the flow and took it head-on.

"Ah?"

Then his body went limp and collapsed downward!

"Mmph~"

"Dong'er!"

Wang Dong'er was dragged down with him and ended up kneeling on Jiang Mu's body.

"What are you doing?"

But when she lifted her head, she saw Jiang Mu's pale face. Even so, both arms were wrapped tightly around her to protect her!

"Mmm..."

Her gaze slowly lowered, and when she noticed their current position, her face instantly flushed red with a boom!

"You... you..."

No, no—

Just as Wang Dong'er was about to blame him, she suddenly recalled feeling some inexplicable attack coming toward them just now!

Combined with his current reaction...

Someone had called her earlier. Wang Dong'er instantly realized something and turned around furiously!

Huo Yuhao's expression was not much better at the moment. He had never expected his attack to bring Jiang Mu and Wang Dong'er even closer.

Now that she was staring at him, he could only swallow his bitterness in silence!

"It was you!"

Wang Dong'er stood and began helping Jiang Mu up from the ground. Jiang Mu went along with her support, bringing the two of them even closer together.

"I..." Huo Yuhao's eyes darted around.

He had only wanted to teach Jiang Mu a small lesson. Who could have expected him to be so fragile that he would collapse straight to the ground?

Once she confirmed it really was him, Wang Dong'er exploded. She freed one hand slightly and pointed at Huo Yuhao as she angrily scolded, "How can you be so underhanded? Why did you attack from behind?"

Jiang Mu, who was being helped up beside her and was still admiring his perfect plan, instantly stiffened when he heard that.

Somewhat confused, he looked at Wang Dong'er's beautiful, furious face.

Hadn't Wang Dong'er launched a sneak attack on him from behind the night before last?

He was truly curious how she could say that with such righteous conviction.

Perhaps that was what it meant to view things only from one's own perspective.

In Jiang Mu's eyes, Wang Dong'er had ambushed him that day. But in Wang Dong'er's eyes, Jiang Mu had first embarrassed her. She was a young lady—the kind who would not tolerate being refused!

She quickly figured out the issue.

Huo Yuhao, however, was clearly at a loss. He raised his hands in panic, and when he saw that Wang Dong'er had misunderstood him, his heart went cold. He hurriedly explained, "Dong'er, it isn't like that. It wasn't me, I wasn't..."

Even after becoming a god and returning through reincarnation, he was still henpecked. In love, he would always be the submissive one. The moment he heard Wang Dong'er's accusation, he immediately caved and tried to explain.

But any explanation now sounded hollow.

Wang Dong'er puffed out her cheeks. "Hypocrite. Stay away from me. If you try another sneak attack from behind, don't blame me for taking action against you!"

After saying that, she clenched her fist to make the threat clear.

Huo Yuhao: ...

Wang Dong'er slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Jiang Mu. Her previously stern eyes softened.

"Jiang Mu, are you alright? Do you need me to help you walk?"

Though she was asking, before Jiang Mu could explain, Wang Dong'er had already supported him again, solicitously helping Jiang Mu toward the dormitory at Shrek Academy that belonged to them.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao, who had been fidgeting on the spot, instantly cast aside his inner hesitation and raised a hand to stop them.

"Hey!"

"Hmph, stay away from us!"

Wang Dong'er seemed to sense it without even turning her head and immediately snapped at him.

Huo Yuhao could only shrink back where he stood and silently watch as his future girlfriend took another man back to the dormitory where they had lived in his memories.

"Ah!"

Huo Yuhao felt his heart beating wildly, as though a hand had gripped it and would not let it beat!

It hurt—so much!

It was as if someone were deliberately targeting him!

How had his beautiful school romance turned into this?
