Ning Rongrong hugged Su Yan's arm, swinging her body slightly and pouting as she praised him, "Brother Su Yan, you're amazing!" She was truly impressed by Su Yan's skillful way with words.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at the girl; that little 'green tea' was seriously annoying her every day. It seemed like the Princess needed a bit of intense training.
Dai Mubai walked ahead, glancing back at Su Yan every now and then. He wasn't looking at Su Yan, but at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who were both holding onto one of Su Yan's arms. Dai Mubai could clearly see that Ning Rongrong also liked Su Yan.
Even knowing that Su Yan and Zhu Zhuqing were a couple, she still liked him and chose to openly compete for him.
This was outrageous!
Did her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly have no decent men left?
As they were talking, the group arrived at the male dormitory area.
Dai Mubai spoke up, "Tang San can stay with Oscar for now. Su Yan, you can pick any empty room here. These wooden cabins are all our academy's male dormitories."
After saying that, Dai Mubai pointed toward a cabin nearby and added, "That one over there is the female dormitory. Ning Rongrong, you girls can choose your rooms there."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, took her arm, and said, "Zhuqing, let's go check out our dormitory quickly! We can share a room."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong, feeling somewhat speechless. How could she not know what Ning Rongrong was trying to do? "I have a cool and aloof personality; I don't like sharing a room with other people."
Ning Rongrong, however, smiled brightly. "It's fine! We're all good sisters. Xiao Wu, the three of us can share a room. It'll be a good chance for us to get closer. Let's go!"
Ning Rongrong pulled Xiao Wu with one hand and Zhu Zhuqing with the other and started walking away, not forgetting to shout back to Su Yan. "Brother Su Yan, we'll come find you as soon as we've tidied up our dormitory."
The three girls walked toward the female dormitory. Zhu Zhuqing maintained her cool and indifferent demeanor. Ning Rongrong walked beside her, trying to persuade her. "Zhuqing, think about this. You like your boyfriend, and I also like your boyfriend. We should be on the same side, and we can become good sisters, right?"
Everyone: ???
Xiao Wu's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Ning Rongrong. She was extremely shocked, yet at the same time, she felt like there was nothing wrong with what Ning Rongrong said.
Yes. We are all on the same side!
Zhu Zhuqing felt utterly speechless. This 'little green tea' girl was truly 'green' to the core.
Just then, Oscar, who had been about to take Tang San inside, heard Ning Rongrong's words from not far away. He turned back, looked at Su Yan with a stunned expression, and gradually, his eyes filled with envy and respect.
He quickly ran into the room, tossed Tang San onto the bed, and then ran back out to Su Yan's side. Flattering him, Oscar exclaimed, "Teacher, Su Yan, you are a true Yu Xiaogang! Please, will you teach me?"
Su Yan smiled and patted Oscar's shoulder. "We're all brothers here. If you want to learn, I'll definitely teach you. Let's find a room first."
"Alrighty!" Oscar smiled very happily.
Dai Mubai stood nearby, his face grim. Idiot Oscar! Didn't he hear what Su Yan said? Did he forget his brother Tang San, who was just played like a fool by him? As soon as Su Yan says 'we're all brothers,' why isn't Oscar running away?
Female Dormitory
Inside the female dormitory, Ning Rongrong had gone to great lengths to share a room with Zhu Zhuqing. Her goal was to prevent Zhu Zhuqing from having any chance to be alone with Su Yan.
Zhu Zhuqing found this quite amusing. She sat directly on the bed, crossed her arms over her chest, and asked, "Rongrong, have you ever thought about one thing: that doing this will make Su Yan unhappy?"
"Ah?" Ning Rongrong was instantly dumbfounded.
She truly hadn't thought about that at all! But... the thought of Zhu Zhuqing touching her Brother Su Yan made her feel completely uncomfortable.
Zhu Zhuqing continued to press her. "If Su Yan found out that you insisted on staying in the same room as me, deliberately keeping me away from him, do you think he would dislike you?"
"You…" Ning Rongrong pouted, feeling a bit dejected and not knowing what to say.
Xiao Wu stood by, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say. She couldn't understand how Ning Rongrong, who was usually so smart, could be stumped by just two sentences from Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing spoke again, "I don't think you truly understand Su Yan, and you haven't prepared yourself to be with him at all."
"You're talking nonsense!" Ning Rongrong immediately shot back. "You met Brother Su Yan even later than I did! I was the first to see him outside Nuoding City."
"Heh." Zhu Zhuqing smiled. "Did you forget that he went to save me?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was so angry that she almost cried from the injustice of it. Tears started welling up in her eyes; she felt so wronged!
Xiao Wu saw that the situation was getting tense. She looked at Zhu Zhuqing, hesitated, and finally said, "Zhuqing."
Zhu Zhuqing waved her hand, signaling for her not to interrupt, and continued. "Rongrong, I'm Su Yan's girlfriend now. You like him and want to pursue him; I have no objection, and I won't stop you whatsoever."
She paused, then continued, "But you, you can't accept the thought of me being intimate with him. You haven't clearly thought through whether you truly want to be with him. We all know Su Yan's identity, and we know that in the future, there will certainly be many women around him. Even the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall is trying to win him over at all costs. It's impossible for his future women to be just me, and it's even more impossible for it to be just you."
"I think what you need to do now is to carefully consider and understand yourself. The Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is excellent, but you are not so excellent that you can have him all to yourself. In the future, there will be many women more outstanding than you."
Zhu Zhuqing finished with a stern piece of advice. "If you can't accept him having multiple wives and concubines, then I think you should let go sooner rather than later, to avoid falling too deeply."
Zhu Zhuqing's words completely froze Ning Rongrong.
Yes.
Everything Zhu Zhuqing said was true. She wasn't even a girlfriend yet, and she was already thinking of competing with Zhu Zhuqing, trying to ruin Zhu Zhuqing's chance to be with Su Yan.
What about later?
Ning Rongrong's eyes started to well up, and she stood there, unable to stop shedding small tears.
Xiao Wu couldn't bear to see Ning Rongrong cry and advised, "Zhuqing, aren't your words a bit too harsh?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Wu seriously. "You must eat more walnuts and more fish. You only see that I'm talking to Rongrong; haven't you reflected on yourself?"
"Do you think these words don't apply to you?"
Xiao Wu was instantly stunned upon hearing this.
Yes.
She was clearly the one who met Su Yan the earliest.
And she had the best relationship with him.
Now, Zhu Zhuqing had become his girlfriend, and Ning Rongrong could openly pursue him, while she was nothing!
Xiao Wu lowered her head and also started shedding small tears.
Zhu Zhuqing felt like laughing in her heart.
Seriously?
I haven't even tried hard, and you two have already crumbled.
Is this all the fighting power you two have?
With such weak strength, you still dared to speak 'tea-like' words to me every day?
This time, I'll see if you still try to stop me from touching him.
