The room fell silent for a moment. Ning Rongrong sobbed softly, while Xiao Wu also secretly grieved, wiping away her tears. Zhu Zhuqing, however, looked at the two of them with a calm expression, feeling no sense of victory.
"Rongrong, now you tell me, can I touch him?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned by the question. Looking into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, she became even angrier. "You... Zhu Zhuqing, don't go too far."
Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly, "You are the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; your status seems noble, but Su Yan is even more remarkable than you imagine. In the future, you will have the Holy Maiden and Young Lord of Spirit Hall to compete with you."
She didn't stop there. "Their status is more noble than yours, they might even be prettier than you, and their figures are definitely better than yours. What do you really have? Besides your title as the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what else can you rely on?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but glance down at Zhu Zhuqing's substantial assets, and her heart filled with despair and sadness! Damn it. Why did Zhu Zhuqing have such a Heaven-Defying advantage? Why didn't she have such a huge asset to use!
Xiao Wu looked a bit confused and asked, "The Holy Maiden and Young Lord of Spirit Hall? You mean Qian Renxue?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "That's right. They are all in the group chat, and Qian Renxue already knows Su Yan's identity. Bibi Dong will find out soon enough."
"At that time, to win Su Yan over, they will definitely use a honey trap." After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong and said earnestly, "Rongrong, you are very smart. You should know that even if you have a love rival, that rival cannot be me."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment. That's right! Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have taken the lead, but she was definitely not the biggest threat. She had even preemptively accepted Ning Rongrong as a potential rival. Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were the true dangers.
Ning Rongrong wiped away her tears and said sincerely, "Zhuqing, I'm sorry."
"It's fine," Zhu Zhuqing replied with an indifferent smile. "You can think for yourself, when you were pursuing Su Yan, did I ever try to stop you?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head. "No. Zhuqing, I really know I was wrong. Actually, you are very good."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that you know I'm good enough. If it were someone else, wouldn't your actions have led to a beating?"
"Rongrong, you are a Little Princess, but in front of Su Yan, your status has no advantage. Even Qian Renxue's status won't give her an advantage. Each of our statuses is the same to Su Yan."
She continued, "We have to rely on ourselves. The three of us not only can't fight among ourselves in the future, but we must also unite to resist external enemiesā¦"
With that, Zhu Zhuqing had managed to manipulate Ning Rongrong, the proud Little Princess, without even using force. After being manipulated, Ning Rongrong began to doubt herself. She felt she was nothing special; everyone was just an ordinary person! In fact, compared to Zhu Zhuqing, she saw that she had many shortcomings.
Xiao Wu didn't have much of a brain, but precisely because of this, she clearly saw that Ning Rongrong had been easily fooled by Zhu Zhuqing. Oh my goodness? How terrifying! Ning Rongrong was clearly so smart, yet in front of Zhu Zhuqing, she was willing to accept a secondary role in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?
Not long after, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two came out of the dormitory to find Su Yan.
Su Yan saw the three of them and said, "Let's go eat first. After dinner, we'll all go shopping in Suotuo City this afternoon. I have something to tell you."
"Mm," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu stood on Zhu Zhuqing's left and right, obediently nodding.
Su Yan found this a bit strange. Why did he feel that Ning Rongrong, that little devil, had suddenly become so well-behaved? He didn't know yet that Zhu Zhuqing had preemptively manipulated the little devil.
Suotuo City Trip
After lunch, Oscar stayed at the Academy to look after the unconscious Tang San, while Su Yan took Zhu Zhuqing and the other two to Suotuo City.
Walking on the road, Su Yan instructed the three girls, "We'll go to Suotuo City to buy some things first. After we're done shopping, the three of you will return to Shrek. I'll be out for two days to take care of some matters."
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong looked at Su Yan nervously. "Brother Su Yan, where are you going? Can we go with you?"
Xiao Wu said with some worry, "Su Yan, you're not trying to leave us here because you don't want to enter Shrek Academy, are you?"
Zhu Zhuqing knew what Su Yan was planning to do, but she was a little surprised at his urgency and asked, "Weren't you originally planning to go tomorrow?"
Su Yan replied helplessly, "Originally, I wasn't in a hurry, but now I need to go early and return early, trying to get back within three days."
If he didn't keep an eye on Tang San, that guy would probably get the Eight Spider Spirit Bone next, so he had to speed up and come back quickly. Besides that, Tang Hao was always a threat. With him around, Su Yan could only mess with Tang San in secret, not openly, which completely restricted him!
Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask any more questions after hearing Su Yan's words. She just said seriously, "Then be careful. We'll wait for you at Shrek."
With that said, Zhu Zhuqing gave Ning Rongrong a look. Ning Rongrong hesitated, wanting to say something but held back, her eyes only filled with reluctance.
The little rabbit suddenly had a thought and asked, "Oh my goodness. Su Yan, you're not going to be a hero saving a beauty again, are you? You're not going to bring back another girlfriend when you return, are you?"
Su Yan: ???
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were also visibly stunned, looking at Su Yan with strange eyes. They suddenly had this same premonition.
"Ahem." Su Yan coughed twice strategically, feeling a bit guilty, and replied earnestly, "What kind of talk is that? I'm going out to do something big this time, and it's a serious, big matter. When I come back, I'll bring each of you a giftāa gift that will make you cry and wail with emotion, and pledge yourselves to me."
As for whether he would bring back another girlfriend? Su Yan couldn't guarantee that. If he was going to get the Immortal Herb, he would definitely have to find Dugu Yan first. Although Dugu Bo was very trustworthy, befriending Dugu Yan could ensure no safety issues would arise. Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were also good friends.
Su Yan honestly said that his favorites were Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling. Also, if Dugu Yan insisted on eloping with him, how could a scumbag like him, who neither takes the initiative nor refuses, resist? So the answer to this question was actually: one girlfriend wasn't enough, it would probably be two girlfriends.
Ning Rongrong didn't take the gift seriously; she just looked at Su Yan with strange eyes, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing. She was very suspicious! Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything about it; she just looked at Su Yan with deep affection, giving him unwavering love.
The little rabbit pouted, a little unhappy, and said, "Anyway, since Zhuqing isn't saying anything, we won't either. Just be careful."
"Here." Xiao Wu finished speaking and handed Su Yan a gold coin card.
This left Ning Rongrong a bit bewildered. "Xiao Wu, what is this?"
Xiao Wu explained, "Su Yan doesn't have money! He even had me treat him to meals at Nuoding Academy."
"Ah?" Ning Rongrong was a bit stunned. No way?Sister, what's your net worth? Something like supporting Su Yan, that should be my job, right?
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing, hesitated, but still didn't say anything. It wouldn't be good for her to rush to give him money at this moment. Anyway, they were all good sisters now, so she wouldn't argue with Xiao Wu.
Zhu Zhuqing saw this scene and knew that she had done the right thing this time. If it were according to Ning Rongrong's previous personality, she would definitely take back Xiao Wu's money and give Su Yan even more, making what should have been a nice gesture very awkward for everyone.
Zhu Zhuqing: Can I touch him now? Ning Rongrong: Don't move, I'll help you hold him.
