55: Short and warm, three people

The fragrance from the girl's hair was like an orchid in a secluded valley, gentle and exquisite, irresistible, making one feel greedy.

Coupled with the oppressive feeling from her exaggerated curves, even Su Ye couldn't quite handle it, his body slightly stiffening.

"Taking advantage of my weakness after a big battle like this?"

Just as Su Ye was about to tease her like this, Zhu Zhuqing's clear and light words had already sounded first.

"Long time no see—"

The emotion in her voice was exceptionally hard to describe, containing both the joy of reunion after a long separation and the relief of a burden lifted.

It was also mixed with a bit of reserve, making it sound like friends meeting for the first time.

In places Su Ye couldn't see, Zhu Zhuqing's face was flushed, her eyes tender and blushing, almost dripping with water.

Even the girl herself didn't know how she suddenly hugged him; with Ning Rongrong still beside them, she could only pretend to be reserved and act as if nothing was wrong.

"Not bad, you could recognize me even like this."

"Yeah, it really has been a long time, I missed you quite a bit."

Taking off his mask, Su Ye also hugged her back with both hands, patted Zhu Zhuqing, and greeted her very politely.

Ning Rongrong's small mouth formed a round "O", her gaze staring blankly at... the hand gently patting Zhu Zhuqing's butt.

Ptooey!

Ning Rongrong's small face turned red, she spat unhappily, and quickly averted her gaze.

Zhu Zhuqing's mind also went blank, especially hearing Su Ye's earnest and affectionate words, her small face turned even redder.

Miss me?

Is that *missing* me??

Whoosh!

She pushed Su Ye away.

"You...!"

Zhu Zhuqing glared angrily, her eyes indifferent as ice, her slender eyebrows raised like bamboo leaves, wishing she could flay a certain person alive.

It's just...

Her face was flushed, steaming with heat.

Su Ye glared back. Taking advantage of me in broad daylight and still wanting me to suffer a loss? No way.

That kick on your butt last time, I haven't returned it yet!

Swish!

Their gazes collided in the air, about to spark.

Seeing the two start their bickering again, Ning Rongrong felt like she was being force-fed a mouthful of dog food, and speechlessly gave them a roll of her eyes.

"Look at you two..."

"If you don't get married, it'll probably be hard to end this!"

"Shut up!" x2

Swish, two death glares immediately shot over.

Ning Rongrong: "...".

Su Ye was the first to react, giving Zhu Zhuqing a magnanimous look.

"Alright."

"It's not good to stay here long, let's leave first."

"I'll..."

Before she could finish saying the word "go", Zhu Zhuqing's cold snort expression immediately changed, and she gnashed her teeth in shame and anger.

Su Ye slowly retracted the palm of his raised hand, naturally wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, and his Golden Phoenix wings immediately unfurled.

Hey, hey, hey—

"Wait! Wait!" Ning Rongrong immediately got anxious and quickly stopped the two.

So you're treating me like air, huh? The girl pointed at herself in disbelief, her little nose twitching, her anger vividly displayed.

"What about me?"

"You're just leaving like this? Leaving me here?"

Su Ye frowned and looked her up and down; he didn't know the situation yet and turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes held some guilt, and she said, "Rongrong, I'm sorry, because of me, you had a conflict with Shrek Academy..."

Ning Rongrong immediately waved her hand to interrupt, her soft face showing no concern, "Alright, alright, I don't blame you."

"Anyway, it's a broken academy. Before, there were only three students in total: a perverted tiger, a lecherous phoenix, plus a Sausage uncle. Your Grandma here couldn't wait to leave."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's eyes bulged, looking angry as if she had been betrayed.

"But isn't it a bit too unkind to leave me here?"

"Even if I'm hindering your lovey-dovey life, we're still friends who shared hardships. Killing the donkey after it's done its job, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

These last few sentences, Ning Rongrong directed them at a certain person.

Lovey-dovey life?

Zhu Zhuqing bit her pink lip in embarrassment. She and he weren't in that kind of relationship at all, okay?

"Isn't that just perfect?"

The oblivious Su Ye rolled his eyes boringly, "You're free now, you can go wherever you want."

Ning Rongrong proudly lifted her fair and smooth chin, simple and direct, "I want to go with you!"

As she spoke, the girl also winked at Zhu Zhuqing with her sparkling big eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing also felt awkward refusing. After thinking for a moment, she spoke to Su Ye:

"Um, maybe you should take her away from here first?"

"Leaving her here like this also makes people a bit uneasy."

Before Su Ye could agree, Ning Rongrong leaned closer, her body slightly forward with her hands behind her back, and whispered into his ear, her voice clear, charming, and seductive.

"Bad guy, you better not think about taking advantage of me like you did with Zhu Zhuqing..."

"Otherwise, you'll get what's coming to you."

The girl in the white noble nun dress blinked playfully, her beautiful and clear watery eyes full of provocation, as if she was full of mischief.

After speaking, Ning Rongrong straightened up, slightly spread her arms, revealing her straight and slender abdomen, and gave Su Ye a look, saying 'come on'.

With Little Cat speaking up, plus her less than a second of assistance during the battle, and after all, she was still the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Su Ye didn't mind giving her a ride.

Swish!

Bending slightly, Su Ye hooked his left elbow directly upwards, then flapped his wings and shot into the sky.

In the sky, Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hand, looking utterly resigned, as the scenery rapidly moved past her.

That was... a scenery completely opposite to what Su Ye and Zhu Zhuqing were experiencing.

Glancing at a certain person's back, Ning Rongrong's small face was full of bitterness and resentment. Fine, you're ruthless!

Su Ye, right~

Your Grandma here remembers you!

Next time we take a carriage, I'll make you sit in the back too!

Flying in mid-air, after a brief conversation, Su Ye also learned the whole story from Zhu Zhuqing.

After arriving at Soto City and learning about Dai Mubai's even more disgraceful past, Zhu Zhuqing was completely disappointed in him.

She originally wanted to use the opportunity of entering Shrek Academy to study, to have a showdown with him and start her life anew. However, he was consumed by lust and adamantly refused, even using various methods to pester her relentlessly.

Unable to bear it any longer, she exposed his disgrace in public, wanting to make a complete break. Who would have thought Dai Mubai would fly into a rage out of humiliation, leading to the previous scene.

"I originally thought the teachers at Shrek Academy were quite good, but unexpectedly, they're indiscriminate and habitually protective of their own."

"If I had known this, I might as well have stayed in Soto City with Rongrong, then there wouldn't have been so many troubles!"

Zhu Zhuqing's smile held a hint of bitterness. In the end, it was still because of strength. If she had half of a certain person's strength, she wouldn't have so many troubles.

"Isn't this just perfect!"

Su Ye's free and easy smile was like the warm sun, "There's a saying, 'Only by breaking the shackles do you know who you are'."

"From now on, cultivate diligently, live for yourself, and don't bother with these messy things."

"That's true." Zhu Zhuqing's smile became serene, and she felt a sense of relief and joy.

"Right, I said I'd treat you to a meal. There's no better day than today, I think today is fine."

"Today would also..."

Swish, Su Ye's smile vanished, his smiling eyes suddenly became sharp and piercing, and his voice turned solemn.

"Today probably won't work."

"Let's... do it another day."

On the horizon, a black dot was approaching, teleporting and shifting, swift like a meteor, arriving before them in the blink of an eye.

The fish, has taken the bait!!
