"Oscar, hurry and come over, Rongrong. Once we finish eating, we'll head back to the academy."
Oscar thoughtfully placed a small stool for Ning Rongrong and waved for her to come sit.
Compared to Ma Hongjun on the other side, Oscar obviously preferred for Ning Rongrong to sit next to Ye Qiu.
"Mm, coming."
Ning Rongrong nodded and walked over gracefully.
These past two days, after learning that Ye Qiu's condition wasn't serious and he could eat normally, she no longer rejected Oscar's earnest attempts to please her.
She would proceed according to plan—she would properly take him for a walk!
Who told him he could toy with this young lady's feelings?
What status does she have, and what status does he have?
Is he allowed to like her when he wants, and not like her when he doesn't?
Hmph—!
As soon as Ning Rongrong sat down, she turned her head and looked at Ye Qiu with concern.
"Ye Qiu, are you okay now?"
"I'm fine."
Ye Qiu's voice was cold. Ning Rongrong asked again for confirmation.
"Really?"
"Will you stop already?"
Ye Qiu glanced at her impatiently.
"You!"
"Hmph! This young lady won't bother arguing with you."
Ning Rongrong bit her lip and gave a cold snort, stabbing her chopsticks forcefully into her bowl.
Across from Ye Qiu, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frown.
Was it her illusion? She actually saw a hint of teasing in Ye Qiu's eyes?!
She looked carefully again, but found nothing.
————————
After eating and drinking their fill—
The group left the small town and ran toward the direction of Soto City.
Ye Qiu felt a bit unaccustomed to the emptiness at his side.
A Yin complained resentfully:
"Am I not still here with you?"
Ye Qiu laughed lightly in his heart:
"Having Xiao Wu by my side is still better."
Not long after they started running, Ning Rongrong ran up beside Ye Qiu.
"Something you need?"
Ye Qiu glanced at her, somewhat surprised. After he had coldly ignored her several times, she still came over.
"Can't you say two different words for once?"
Seeing his cold expression, Ning Rongrong couldn't help feeling nostalgic for the Ye Qiu who had bantered with her a few days ago.
She reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his clothes.
In a delicate voice she said, "My Sugar Beans have all expired… You have to help me, or I won't be able to keep running."
"Alright, no problem."
Ye Qiu nodded and agreed.
He immediately raised his hand and supported Ning Rongrong's arm.
After running for half an hour, Ning Rongrong started panting heavily. A faint green light was passed from Ye Qiu's hand into her, life force continuously flowing.
Ning Rongrong's fatigue lessened greatly.
Soon after, a burst of fragrance flowed from Ye Qiu's body.
Ning Rongrong immediately felt her mind clear, her breathing much smoother.
She looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
Unable to resist, she leaned in and sniffed him lightly twice.
"How is it? Does your young master smell good or not?"
Ye Qiu failed to control himself and said something frivolous, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Hmph! Smell your dead head!"
Already flushed from running, Ning Rongrong's pretty face reddened even more. She gave a soft cry, then furrowed her eyebrows.
Just now—did that damn liar actually smile?
Ning Rongrong looked carefully.
But Ye Qiu had already retracted the teasing expression and returned to a serious, deep demeanor.
Ning Rongrong frowned.
Did she see wrong? But what he said just now—there was no way she heard wrong, right?
She stared strangely at Ye Qiu's composed face for a long time.
Only then did she look away.
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly—that was close.
A Yin, who was always connected to him, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After a while—
Ning Rongrong looked ahead at Zhu Zhuqing, whose speed had suddenly slowed.
She called out, "Zhuqing, slow down, let's run together."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't respond.
Every extra word wasted physical strength.
But she used her actions to show she heard and agreed.
She slowed down and ran alongside Ning Rongrong and Ye Qiu.
As soon as she came close—
Zhu Zhuqing smelled a refreshing fragrance and looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"Thank you."
She knew this must also be one of Ye Qiu's methods.
"Mm." Ye Qiu nodded slightly and said, across Ning Rongrong, "If you need it, you can run beside me for a while."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly. She understood what Ye Qiu meant. That warm, comfortable, healing soul power indeed helped her recover.
She looked at Ye Qiu, opening her mouth as if to say something… but hesitated.
Comforting others wasn't something she was good at.
Ever since she was young, she had been the one who needed comforting. All she could do was make herself stronger.
But she believed Ye Qiu would recover.
Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks.
She gave Ye Qiu a resentful glare.
This damn liar was clearly treating people differently, and he didn't even think to talk to her first.
What's so great about being big?!
Small has its own advantages!
After that—
Zhu Zhuqing occasionally ran beside Ye Qiu and held his hand.
Dai Mubai and Oscar occasionally turned back to look at the two girls at Ye Qiu's side.
During one of their breaks—
Ye Qiu also learned about Oscar's and Tang San's third soul skills.
Oscar's Fiery Excitation Sausage, as a supplement, was simply too spicy. Ma Hongjun despised it so much he tossed it on the ground.
After touching it,
Ma Hongjun wiped his sweat several times, tears streaming from the spiciness.
After a whole day of travel—
Everyone returned smoothly to Shrek Academy outside Soto City.
"Finally back! It feels great to be home!" Oscar exaggerated loudly.
"You brat, keep your voice down. Don't you see it's already dark?"
Zhao Wuji glared at him and waved his hand.
"Alright, go back to your dorms and rest. I'm going to meet the Dean and report on this mission."
After a full day of traveling, everyone was exhausted and headed to their respective dorms.
But Ye Qiu followed behind Ning Rongrong.
His gaze flickered.
Secretly observing—
Ye Qiu's dark, surging pupils did not detect Tang Hao's presence.
Instead, he saw a familiar face—Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.
Ye Qiu didn't care.
A mere Great Soul Master who only knew how to talk nonsense—he had no effect on what Ye Qiu intended to do.
When they reached the dorm entrance—
Ning Rongrong couldn't bear it anymore. She turned around and said, "Ye Qiu, why are you following me?"
Ye Qiu was watching Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji meet up and didn't pay attention, accidentally bumping into Ning Rongrong.
"Ah—!"
Ning Rongrong cried out, stepping back and frowning. "You damn liar, what are you thinking?!"
"Nothing."
Ye Qiu shook his head indifferently, retracting his distant gaze. "I came to pack Xiao Wu's things."
Ning Rongrong froze.
She looked at Ye Qiu deeply, assuming he had been thinking of Xiao Wu just now, distracted and not watching where he was going.
"Hmph, still insisting you're fine."
Ning Rongrong pouted, muttering softly, then turned, opened the door, and stepped aside.
Softly, she said, "Then come in."
