Chapter 138: Night Talk 

...

Shrek Academy, Women's Dormitory.

Ning Rongrong boredly lay alone in the soft bed.

"Ah, I'm so bored! I want to hug Xiao Ju!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but roll around on the bed, her delicate arms hugging the pillow as she pouted.

In the women's dormitory of Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu shared a room together, while Zhu Zhuqing preferred solitude and lived in a separate room.

But now, Xiao Wu had gone to play with her brother Tang San, leaving Ning Rongrong alone in the dormitory.

Originally, she had Xiao Ju accompanying her, but she accidentally let it escape. Xiao Ju, a soul beast with hundreds of years of cultivation, was impossible for her, a support system spirit master, to catch up to. She could only watch as Xiao Ju disappeared from her sight, leaving her helpless and on the verge of tears.

Where did Xiao Ju go? Ning Rongrong naturally knew. Apart from going to its owner, the person she hated the most, Zeng Yi, where else could it go?

Originally, she wanted to go to Zeng Yi's dormitory to retrieve Xiao Ju, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so Ning Rongrong had to stay alone in the dormitory.

After a while, the dormitory door opened, and Ning Rongrong jolted up from the bed.

Looking over, it was her roommate, Xiao Wu, who had returned.

"What's up? Back from playing with your brother?" Ning Rongrong teased Xiao Wu.

This remark made Xiao Wu's face flush.

"What are you saying? We're just siblings!"

"Yes, yes, siblings, good siblings, loving siblings," Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and laughed.

Seeing Ning Rongrong like this, Xiao Wu immediately pounced on her and pressed her down on the bed.

"Hahaha, Stop tickling, hahaha, I was wrong, hahaha."

"Watch if you dare to tease me again, hmph."

"Hey! Xiao Wu, don't touch there."

The two girls wrestled on the bed for a while before coming to a stop. They both had flushed necks and were breathing heavily, their clothes disheveled, revealing fair skin that exuded a seductive rosy hue.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu sat on the bed in an indecent posture, their faces blushing, their eyes locked onto each other.

"Ptui."

Not only did both of them burst into laughter, they looked at each other and giggled.

A long time passed before the sweet and pleasant laughter slowly faded away.

"By the way, Rongrong, I saw something shocking on my way back," Xiao Wu said mysteriously.

"What is it?" Ning Rongrong's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she leaned over the bed, swinging her exposed little feet, her hands supporting her delicate chin as she looked at Xiao Wu with expectant eyes.

"On my way back, I saw Zhuqing walking back from Zeng Yi's dormitory," Xiao Wu said.

"What!"

Ning Rongrong was instantly shocked by Xiao Wu's words and jumped up.

"When did they..."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's shocked reaction, Xiao Wu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and a sly expression flashed in her eyes.

"Why are you so shocked, Rongrong? Don't tell me you have feelings for your senior brother, hehe."

"How is that possible! How can I like that annoying guy," Ning Rongrong immediately retorted.

"Huh, I didn't say you like him. Why did you deny it?" Xiao Wu blinked her watery eyes at Ning Rongrong, pretending to look puzzled.

At her words, Ning Rongrong's fair face instantly turned red, and it seemed like steam was about to rise from her forehead. Her whole head felt dizzy.

"Xiao Wu!"

Ning Rongrong glared at Xiao Wu with hatred in her eyes and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

"Uh, I get it. Our Miss Rongrong will never like that Zeng Yi, alright." Seeing Ning Rongrong on the verge of exploding, Xiao Wu immediately spoke up.

"Zeng Yi is the biggest idiot, fool, scoundrel, blockhead in the world!" Ning Rongrong wholeheartedly agreed and then hugged a pillow, looking furious.

Thinking of Zeng Yi's face, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel angry. Zeng Yi had been at Shrek Academy for more than half a month, always wearing a smiling face and being kind to everyone. But he just didn't get along with her, always mocking her and lecturing her as if he were her senior. He was slightly older than her, but acted like an elder, which annoyed her.

He's truly despicable! Why can't he treat me better?

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth in anger.

Seeing Ning Rongrong biting the corner of the pillow, Xiao Wu couldn't help but find it amusing.

Ever since Zeng Yi arrived, Xiao Wu could hear Ning Rongrong cursing and complaining about him every night in the dormitory. Her ears were practically calloused.

So, Xiao Wu naturally knew what kind of feelings Ning Rongrong had towards Zeng Yi.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, do you think Zhu Zhuqing and that scoundrel are together?" Ning Rongrong suddenly asked with a soft voice.

"Are you interested?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Of course!" Ning Rongrong turned her head and looked at Xiao Wu, but when she saw Xiao Wu's strange eyes, she changed her words.

"Zhu Zhuqing is our teammate, and it's natural to care about her!" Ning Rongrong said confidently.

"Really?"

"Of course!" Ning Rongrong's gaze shifted as Xiao Wu stared at her intently.

Seeing her like that, Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh. Then she thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but it's highly possible. I've noticed something strange about Zhu Zhuqing recently."

"That must be it," Ning Rongrong confirmed.

Late at night, Zhu Zhuqing had gone alone to Zeng Yi's place, and Zeng Yi also lived in the most remote location in the academy. Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel that it wasn't normal.

"But isn't Boss Dai pursuing Zhu Zhuqing?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

"That's just pursuing, it doesn't mean he succeeded." Ning Rongrong pouted.

"Although Boss Dai is handsome, powerful, and a good person, very reliable, his only flaw is that he's too promiscuous and irresponsible. Just think, how many women has he had before? It's normal for Zhu Zhuqing not to be interested in him. If you were her, would you like a fickle man who's had many women outside?" 

"Look at Zeng Yi, he's also handsome, even more powerful, has a good character, and lives a disciplined life. He exudes a free spirit and charm. Any way you look at it, Zeng Yi is better."

After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.

"Wait, why are you praising Zeng Yi?" 

With Xiao Wu's reminder, Ning Rongrong reacted, and her delicate face instantly filled with a blush.

"It's nothing! I'm just looking at Zeng Yi from Zhu Zhuqing's perspective. For me, he's just a scoundrel, a jerk!" 

Seeing Ning Rongrong like this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel helpless.

"But Rongrong, Boss Dai has changed a lot now. He doesn't go out with other women."

"Tch, even though Boss Dai is good-looking and powerful, he has changed many women before, right? It's normal for Zhu Zhuqing not to be interested in him. If you were him, would you accept a woman who has been with many men in the past and suddenly discovers a more excellent man and plans to be with him for the rest of her life, casting aside all her past lovers and wholeheartedly thinking about this excellent man? Xiao Wu, if you were that man, would you accept that woman?" Ning Rongrong asked Xiao Wu.

Thinking for a moment, Xiao Wu furrowed her brows and shook her head.

"No, I wouldn't accept it."

"So you see, it's the same for Zhu Zhuqing." Ning Rongrong shrugged and said, "Being friends with Boss Dai is suitable, but having a romantic relationship is not."

"You're right," Xiao Wu nodded, agreeing with her.

"Rongrong, you're right. Plus, Zhu Zhuqing and Zeng Yi knew each other before coming to Shrek Academy. Maybe there really is something between them."

"Well, I know this scoundrel too," Ning Rongrong recalled the scene when she met Zeng Yi in Soto City, and a bitter expression crossed her face.

But it was a bad memory.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel sad.

"By the way, Oscar has been pursuing you all this time, right? What do you think about him, Rongrong?" Xiao Wu recalled this and looked at Ning Rongrong with a helpless expression, asking.

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong furrowed her brows.

"What is there to think about? I only see Oscar as a classmate, as a friendship between teammates!"

Ning Rongrong had always known about Oscar's feelings for her, but she truly didn't have any further emotional attachment to him. Although he was handsome, that didn't put food on the table.

Well, it seemed like Oscar actually could.

But Ning Rongrong didn't have that kind of affection for him.

Moreover, even if she did like him, they couldn't be together because they couldn't pass the test of the sect.

Ning Rongrong knew that she couldn't make decisions about her own marriage. It was the destiny of a direct disciple of the sect.

Thinking of this, a cloud appeared in Ning Rongrong's heart.

"But Oscar has changed a lot. He doesn't go out with other women now!" Xiao Wu said again.

"Tch, what's there to look at? To me, Oscar is just a classmate, a friendship between teammates!" Ning Rongrong replied with a pout.

What should've been adversity forced laughter throughout the room? Fortunately, both sides were satisfied with the result.
