I'm Jealous!
Naturally, Xiao Wu had no idea Wang Sheng had said that on purpose.
At that moment, she saw Ma Hongjun suddenly turn cold toward her.
She felt somewhat at a loss.
Although she had only known this little fatty for half a day.
He had left an incredibly deep impression on her.
He had touched her ears twice already.
And she did not seem to dislike him all that much either.
Besides, she had only slept with Tang San because she had not had a blanket in the first place.
So Xiao Wu did not know what to say for a moment.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun sat on his own bed with his eyes closed, cultivating as he waited expectantly.
Little rabbit, say something! Hurry! Explain yourself!
But after waiting for a while.
He ultimately did not hear Xiao Wu explain anything.
Ma Hongjun felt a little disappointed.
It seemed the impression he had left was not deep enough! Or was the official CP really not so easy to break apart?
But on second thought.
He was probably being too hasty.
Ma Hongjun soon calmed down again.
It looked like he would have to take things slowly.
But at the thought that Xiao Wu might still sleep under Tang San's blanket tonight.
Ma Hongjun felt extremely uncomfortable.
So he opened his eyes and walked straight toward Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was still somewhat hesitant, but when she saw Ma Hongjun approaching her, her heart suddenly began pounding. What was he going to do? She started to feel nervous.
Yet when Ma Hongjun passed by her.
He ignored her completely. Instead, he walked straight past her.
For some reason, Xiao Wu felt a faint sense of disappointment.
But she was soon drawn to Ma Hongjun's actions.
She watched as Ma Hongjun walked over to the two beds.
Then he folded the large, neatly spread blanket onto the other bed.
He then gripped the front of the beds with both hands.
With tremendous force, he pulled the two beds apart.
Xiao Wu stared in disbelief.
"Little fatty, what are you doing?" Xiao Wu finally asked.
Ma Hongjun was still moving the bed and answered without turning around, "What am I doing? Can't you see for yourself?"
"Why are you moving my bed?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Because I'm jealous. Is that not allowed?" Ma Hongjun said righteously.
Xiao Wu froze at his words.
Jealous? Does that mean this little fatty really likes me? Thinking that, Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed.
At the same time, she found the little fatty in front of her rather adorable.
So she did not continue questioning Ma Hongjun.
By then, Ma Hongjun had finished arranging the beds.
He was quite satisfied with himself.
Then he turned to look at Xiao Wu.
Would she be angry?
But what he saw was Xiao Wu with slightly flushed cheeks.
Seeing this, how could Ma Hongjun possibly let the opportunity slip away?
"Xiao Wu, be my girlfriend!" Ma Hongjun said sincerely.
Xiao Wu merely looked at him without speaking.
Seeing that, Ma Hongjun felt he needed to press his attack a little more.
He immediately said, "Xiao Wu, from the very first moment I saw you when I entered this dorm today, I liked you."
Ma Hongjun's blunt words made Xiao Wu blush and set her heart racing. She stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer him.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun felt there was hope.
So he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Wu's hands again.
Xiao Wu was somewhat flustered.
"Xiao Wu, be my girlfriend. I'll treat you well," Ma Hongjun said again.
His words finally brought Xiao Wu back to her senses.
Faced with Ma Hongjun's third question.
Xiao Wu still did not know how to answer.
Then she shook free of Ma Hongjun's hands.
She fled the dorm as if escaping.
As she went, she said, "Um, class is starting. I'll be going first."
This time, Ma Hongjun did not stop her.
Instead, he watched Xiao Wu rush out the door with a smile on his lips.
Xiao Wu had not rejected him outright, which meant there was already hope.
"Not bad, not bad. My results are quite impressive. I had only been here half a day, yet things had already developed this far. Ma Hongjun was quite satisfied."
Xiao Wu agreeing to it was only a matter of time now.
After leaving the dorm, Xiao Wu glanced back at the dorm door.
When she saw that Ma Hongjun had not chased after her, she actually felt a little disappointed.
But she quickly came to her senses and silently cursed herself, Why am I so useless? I should have rejected him outright.
And so, Xiao Wu went to class.
However, she had no mind to listen to the lessons.
Ma Hongjun's words filled her thoughts: "I liked you from the first moment I saw you. Be my girlfriend."
As a result, Xiao Wu barely absorbed a single lesson that entire afternoon.
After class.
Xiao Wu was somewhat afraid to return to the dorm.
Mainly because she had not figured out how to face that little fatty.
But she had to return eventually.
When she got back to the dorm, Ma Hongjun was nowhere to be seen.
She immediately felt a little disappointed.
But then she noticed that her bed now had brand-new bedding on it.
For some reason, the sight made Xiao Wu's heart feel a little sweet.
"What, did you miss me?" A voice came from behind Xiao Wu.
It gave Xiao Wu a fright.
Who else could it be but Ma Hongjun?
Xiao Wu hurriedly patted her small chest.
But upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, she immediately replied, "Who would miss you? You're so narcissistic."
"Really? I just saw a disappointed look on someone's face. Did I see wrong?" Ma Hongjun asked.
Xiao Wu was left speechless.
But she still forced herself to say, "You saw wrong."
Seeing that Xiao Wu refused to admit it, Ma Hongjun did not press the matter.
However, his face was full of teasing amusement.
Xiao Wu immediately became a little annoyed.
"All right, let's go eat," Ma Hongjun said.
At the mention of food, Xiao Wu finally realized she was hungry.
She no longer dwelled on those things.
After dinner.
The two returned to the dorm once more.
This time, Ma Hongjun did not continue teasing Xiao Wu.
Instead, he returned to his own bed and began meditating to cultivate.
In this world, strength was the foundation of everything.
Just like that morning, if he had not been stronger than Xiao Wu.
She probably would not even have given him a second glance.
How could things have become like this otherwise?
That was reality!
And this world was still quite dangerous, at least for now.
More strength meant more security. Besides, if he became stronger, the journey to the imperial capital would be much safer when the time came.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, had no mood to cultivate at all.
Because what had happened that day had truly exceeded her expectations.
It had to be said that Ma Hongjun had indeed left a deep impression on her.
Now, watching Ma Hongjun cultivate so seriously.
Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised.
This little fatty was actually rather handsome when he got serious.
Then she thought of Ma Hongjun's strength.
His powerful strength was probably inseparable from his diligent cultivation.
But when she thought of Ma Hongjun's words from that day, Xiao Wu's heart still began racing uncontrollably.
And so, Ma Hongjun spent his first night at Notting Academy.
Because of the progress he had made that day, Ma Hongjun fell asleep peacefully.
