"Teacher, why didn't you accept Zhu Zhuqing? Is it because I'm enough?"
The glow of the setting sun shone on the cherry trees. Ning Rongrong, as usual, had trained all day, and it was time for her medicinal bath in the evening.
She wore a very light pink gauze dress and asked Xin sweetly.
Xin remained silent, focused on planting cherry trees.
Ever since she saw Xin's true face, no matter what Xin did, or even if he did nothing but sit there and nap, Ning Rongrong felt it was a beautiful painting. She held Xin's hand and said coquettishly. "It must be."
"Teacher Xin ~ I want to be your most beloved disciple forever, okay~"
…
Soto City.
In a tavern on a small street.
Dai Mubai was drinking to drown his sorrows.
Ma Hongjun and Tang San were with him.
"Fatty, tell me, haven't I been good enough to her?"
"Ever since she came to Shrek, most of my outside romances have ended."
"Before, I used to enter and exit the academy as if it were an No Man's Land, changing women every day, never repeating, never having to hide, and who would say much?"
"But now, I consider her feelings. I never bring women near the academy. Every day I'm on edge, and I have to weigh the consequences every time I go out to have fun, just in case I make her angry. When have I ever been so stifled?"
"Yet she wants to join Heart of Fire Academy. Is there anyone else in this world like her?"
Ma Hongjun scratched his head. "Boss Dai, if you put it that way, then you truly have real feelings for Zhu Zhuqing."
"No way… is that considered true love? He's clearly a scumbag." Xiao Wu muttered.
Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu, signaling her to stop talking.
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and pouted. It was true, after all.
"Boss Dai, in my opinion, since she is your fiancée and you'll be a family in the future, it's best to speak openly about anything. Zhuqing must have feelings for you too, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled all the way to Shrek to find you." Tang San played the peacemaker.
Dai Mubai waved his hand and said. "Little San, you don't understand. That's not feelings for me; it's just a last resort. Ah, never mind."
"If you ask me, since Boss Dai you like Zhu Zhuqing, with your old personality, shouldn't you have just taken her?"
"Women, they're all like that. Before bed, they act pure and proper, but in bed, they're wilder than anyone, screaming louder than anyone. Anyway, Boss Dai, you said she's your fiancée, so you should have her morning and night, right?"
At this moment, the idea man appeared. Ma Hongjun's words made Dai Mubai's head feel hot.
He had also been drinking, so his blood was boiling:
"Fatty, you're right. Why should I suppress myself? She's my fiancée, what am I afraid of? She should listen to me!"
"I'm going to find her now!"
Dai Mubai picked up a jar of wine, drank it all, and with a flushed face, hurried towards the academy.
"Fatty, what a terrible idea you came up with?"
"Exactly, you boys are so disgusting!"
Tang San narrowed his eyes and glared at Fatty, and Xiao Wu also glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun shrugged. "I just love to speak the truth. Can't a man touch his fiancée? Will he be sent to jail?"
…
"Zhu Zhuqing, get out here!"
At the entrance of Heart of Fire Academy, a half-drunk Dai Mubai held a wine jar in one hand and pointed into Heart of Fire Academy with the other, shouting.
His remaining sanity told him that he couldn't force his way in, otherwise he would end up like Teacher Zhao Wuji, stung into a beehive by Xin with a Great Sword.
Bell walked out of the guardhouse, frowning at Dai Mubai. "She already left our Heart of Fire Academy this morning."
"Also, please don't shout at the entrance of our Heart of Fire Academy, or I won't be polite." Bell took a Garfield Fist stance, staring at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai swallowed. "If she's not here, she's not here. Why are you being so fierce? I'll just go find her somewhere else."
