Zhao Wuji came to after a few pricks from the needle, first bewildered, then furious.
Just as he was about to teach Tang San a lesson, Flaide descended from the sky and stopped the farce.
Flaide whispered a few words into Zhao Wuji's ear. Zhao Wuji's expression changed dramatically, and he left with Flaide.
"Are you all right, big brother?" Xiao Wu hurried over to Cao De, grabbed the soft flesh at his waist, and pinched hard.
"Big brother, you really do love playing the hero and rescuing beauties." As Xiao Wu spoke, her grip gradually tightened.
Cao De gave an awkward smile, neither arguing nor answering. He simply endured the pain at his waist in silence.
Tang San looked toward Ning Rongrong, thinking she ought to come over and show him some concern. How should he answer her when she did, so he could cover up that embarrassing incident?
Tang San was still racking his brains.
Ning Rongrong had already walked over to Cao De. "Cao De, you were amazing just now!"
Although Cao De had barely exchanged any blows with Zhao Wuji, she simply wanted to praise him.
Zhu Zhuqing walked over to Cao De in her black high heels, looking cool and aloof. "Thank you for earlier."
"It's nothing. We'll all be living together from now on." Cao De answered with a polite smile.
Tang San froze on the other side.
It's all Cao De's fault. He made me embarrass myself. If he hadn't undermined me, we definitely could have lasted an incense stick under my command.
It's all Cao De's fault!
[Tang San feels disgust toward you. Emotion Points: 5]
Cao De looked at Tang San, who resembled a beaten dog, and smiled.
"Boss Dai! Boss Dai!"
A scruffy, bearded man with nose hair long enough to poke his philtrum came running over.
It was Oscar!
Oscar spotted Ning Rongrong in the crowd at a glance and promptly forgot the task Flaide had just assigned him.
Looking at Ning Rongrong's profile and the smile on her face, Oscar felt he had fallen in love.
Oscar straightened his clothes and tidied the beard he took such pride in.
He greeted Ning Rongrong. "Hello, my name's Oscar. I'm a student here too."
Startled, Ning Rongrong ducked behind Cao De.
"Who are you, mister?" Ning Rongrong searched her memory but couldn't recall anyone like him.
This man looked even older than her father, Ning Fengzhi.
"No, no. I'm a student here," Oscar explained.
Ning Rongrong understood immediately. Another toad dreaming of eating swan meat. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had never lacked suitors.
But this was her first time encountering a misshapen melon like Oscar.
If Cao De hadn't been there, she would have wanted to slap this second idiot dead.
Ning Rongrong turned away outright, refusing to speak to Oscar.
"Oscar!" Dai Mubai couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Ning Rongrong clearly wanted nothing to do with him, yet he still threw himself at her. Honestly!
Oscar looked toward Dai Mubai and remembered his task: heal Tang San and take the opportunity to grow closer to him.
Oscar hurried over to examine Tang San's injuries, chanting, "I Have a Big Sausage!"
Tang San shoved him away. He had seen it just now-this Oscar was trying to steal his girl.
Oscar had already given him a reason to kill him!
"No need!" Tang San said coldly. He silently got to his feet and walked away.
"Tang San, where are you going?" Dai Mubai called.
"I'm fine. Leave me alone!" Tang San glanced back with contempt and kept walking.
Tang San felt his retreating figure must look incredibly lonely right now. Rongrong would surely feel sorry for him when she saw it.
At that thought, Tang San slowed his steps even further.
He was waiting-waiting for Rongrong to call out to him.
If Tang San had turned around at that moment, he would have seen Cao De holding Xiao Wu's hand, with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
Oscar was eagerly leading the way up ahead, while Dai Mubai watched Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure.
Clearly, no one had noticed Tang San's "desolate retreating figure."
"Big brother, this is the girls' dormitory. I can go in by myself. You don't need to walk me any farther." Xiao Wu waved at Cao De, a sweet smile on her face.
"Go on upstairs."
Cao De watched the three girls enter the room.
Then he turned to Oscar, who was grinning foolishly at the doorway. "Are there any private dorm rooms here?"
"Huh... what?"
"Are there any private dorm rooms here?" Cao De asked again.
"Yes, yes, but you have to pay for those yourself. If you stay in our dorm, you won't have to pay." Oscar rubbed his bushy beard.
"Take me to a private room," Cao De said slowly.
Upstairs.
Ning Rongrong eagerly made Xiao Wu's bed for her. "Xiao Wu, your brother treats you so well. He even bought your bedding for you."
"My brother really does treat me very well." A smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face, but when she recalled everything that had happened last night, she added, "Sometimes he's really bad too."
Xiao Wu pouted, but the way her knees involuntarily pressed together had already betrayed her.
"Your brother has such a nice personality. Is there anyone he likes?"
Ning Rongrong's map of Yan was so short that the dagger of her intentions emerged immediately.
A rabbit who had been single for a hundred thousand years, Xiao Wu had stayed by Cao De's side ever since entering human society. Ning Rongrong's true intentions never occurred to her.
"How could he possibly have anyone he likes?" Xiao Wu answered without thinking.
The person he likes is me.
At those words, Ning Rongrong's eyes shone even brighter. This really was a match heaven had arranged for her.
[Ning Rongrong feels affection toward the host. Emotion Points: 10]
Oscar lay on his bed, recalling Ning Rongrong's every frown and smile. He couldn't stop the grin tugging at his lips.
"Boss Dai, I think I'm in love."
Dai Mubai lifted his head from the other bed and looked at Oscar. "You like Ning Rongrong, the girl who arrived today?"
"Boss Dai, how did you know?" Oscar looked astonished.
"That creepy grin gave you away."
Oscar laughed awkwardly and didn't deny it.
"But you don't have a chance."
Dai Mubai's words poured a basin of cold water straight over Oscar's burning heart.
"Why?" Oscar challenged.
"Didn't you notice the way Ning Rongrong looked at you? It was full of... indifference."
Dai Mubai had meant to say disgust, but he changed his wording for fear of hurting Oscar.
"I get it! It's my beard." Oscar sat up.
He pointed at his beard. "Rongrong called me mister today because my beard makes me look too old. Once I shave it off and she sees what I really look like, she'll definitely change her mind."
With that thought, Oscar got straight up and began shaving.
Dai Mubai opened his mouth, then stopped. In the end, he said nothing.
Zhu Zhuqing's cool, aloof figure surfaced in his mind.
In the end, I'm the one who wronged Zhuqing. She actually still came looking for me. Is she still angry?
Dai Mubai let out a long sigh.
"Boss Dai, where do you think Tang San went? It's so late, and he still isn't back," Oscar asked as he shaved.
"No idea," Dai Mubai answered offhandedly.
The Tang San they were discussing was standing in the square, shivering.
No one actually came looking for me! Rongrong didn't come! That guy Dai Mubai didn't come either! He didn't even tell me where the dorm was!
"That fucking idiot Dai Mubai. Some senior student he is. Pah!" Tang San cursed.
There wasn't a single person in the square. He didn't even know whom to ask.
Fine, Ning Rongrong. You won't even come show me some concern. Don't blame me for giving you the cold shoulder for a few more days.
Tang San muttered to himself, unconsciously pulling his clothes tighter around him.
It's so fucking cold at night!
