With his agility, how could she possibly touch him?
Unless he himself is willing, she won't even be able to touch the hem of his clothes.
Zhu Zhuqing was the most honest, silently chopping vegetables while coldly watching Ning Rongrong cause all sorts of trouble.
She didn't say anything, but swung the cleaver loudly, the sound of chopping vegetables suddenly increasing several times, expressing her dissatisfaction in this way, her teeth clenched tightly.
She did have the idea of imitating it, but ultimately gave up.
There's no way I can keep up with Ning Rongrong's thick skin!
Amidst the chaos and the clash of swords, the four dishes and one soup were finally successfully cooked.
Chaos and commotion came from Ning Rongrong, while the clash of swords and the shadows of spears came from Zhu Zhuqing.
The rich aroma instantly filled the air, making Xiao Wu swallow hard; just smelling it made her mouth water.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had already witnessed their teacher's culinary skills, so they had prepared their meals early and were ready to dig in.
"Xiao Wu, what are you daydreaming about?"
With food in her mouth, Ning Rongrong called out indistinctly, "Go get your food! What's wrong, aren't you hungry?"
Xiao Wu was speechless for a moment.
It's not that she's not hungry; she's clearly just embarrassed! She's not made of iron!
Jiang Yunzhou noticed Xiao Wu's predicament. In order to successfully win her over, he acted exceptionally considerately, serving her a full bowl of rice.
"Here you go, I've served you some. Sit down and eat."
This small gesture almost moved Xiao Wu to tears.
This feeling of being carefully cared for and valued... she really cried!
"Thank you, thank you!" Her voice was choked with emotion.
Jiang Yunzhou waved his hand casually: "Why are you being so polite? Come over whenever you want to eat, it's all you can eat!"
Xiao Wu's eyes are red again.
It seems that Ning Rongrong was right, and Zhu Zhuqing was not wrong either.
What a kind person!
Unwittingly, Jiang Yunzhou gained another "good guy" card.
Of course, this "friend zone" label isn't entirely pure.
There was one right next to her, whose ambition to become a "rebellious disciple" was obvious, and she was always thinking about "rising to the top" to become the master's wife;
Although the other one didn't show it obviously, he would secretly sulk when Ning Rongrong acted up.
Although it was noisy, the house was filled with a comfortable and warm atmosphere.
This atmosphere made Xiao Wu feel very relaxed, and she really wanted to join in.
At least she doesn't have to worry about her secrets being exposed in front of this man.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Jiang Yunzhou asked with a smile.
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, his eyes shining: "It's super delicious! Can I really come here for meals often in the future?"
"Of course, you're always welcome."
After a whirlwind of eating, all the plates and bowls were empty.
Even when you're already full, delicious and nutritious food always makes you want to struggle and eat a few more bites.
It's clear that all three of them have the potential to become seasoned foodies.
The difference between an ordinary person and a foodie is that an ordinary person gets full after a couple of bites, while a foodie can eat a couple more bites even after they're full.
The scene just now perfectly illustrates this.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Wu carried the package containing his new clothes and precious belongings back to Shilaike Academy.
Seeing Xiao Wu's cheerful face, Tang Shan, who had been looking lifeless, immediately hurried over to greet him.
But when he saw the beautifully packaged shopping bag in Xiao Wu's hand, his brows immediately furrowed.
"Xiao Wu, why did you buy so much stuff?"
His tone was reproachful and tinged with bitterness, "How much money will this cost?"
Xiao Wu tilted his head and thought for a moment. These were all high-end items selected by Ning Rongrong.
Without much thought, she honestly replied, "Well, all of these probably cost two or three hundred gold coins."
"Two or three hundred gold coins?"
Tang Shan was taken aback upon hearing this, and his voice rose eight octaves, "How could you spend so many gold coins to buy these clothes?"
He's not currently in the business of concealed weapons, and his life is still quite frugal.
Two or three hundred gold coins was indeed a huge sum of money for them.
He then began to lecture, "Where did you get so many gold coins?"
Suddenly remembering what Ning Rongrong had said before she left, she quickly added, "Even if it's a gift from someone else, you don't need to return the favor, right?"
Xiao Wu's good mood suddenly vanished. She felt that Tang Shan was meddling a bit too much. Even if she wanted to return the favor later, it would be her own business.
Why is he getting so excited? Can't he even stand to have a few more nice clothes?
For some reason, the words Ning Rongrong had used to brainwash her came to mind.
He didn't know anything about the situation, and his first reaction was to blame her for spending too much money.
These things were forced upon her by Ning Rongrong, and she had originally refused them.
However, Ning Rongrong simply said: If you don't want to accept it, just throw it away. She never takes back anything she gives away.
What could she do? Was she really going to throw away her pride?
I'm sorry, but Xiao Wu wasn't that kind of person.
Besides, it wasn't just her who received it; Zhu Zhuqing also received the same thing, and she accepted it too.
Ning Rongrong is the little princess of a sect, and she has tens of millions of pocket money. She doesn't care about these two or three hundred gold coins at all.
Just asking Zhu Zhuqing to help clean up costs him a hundred gold coins. What will Tang Shan think if he finds out about this?
She suddenly felt exhausted and didn't want to explain any more. She had no intention of revealing Ning Rongrong's identity to him.
He didn't understand her, nor did he understand the simple friendship between girls that is "I'm happy to buy things for you if I like you".
Chapter 34 Teacher, can I participate in the individual competition too?
"Third Brother, I understand the reasoning you're giving me, and I know what I'm doing."
Xiao Wu's tone softened a bit, "Okay, I'll talk to you now, I need to hurry up and take these things back to the dorm and put them away."
"These things are so heavy, let me help you carry some," Tang Shan said, reaching out his hand.
Xiao Wu quickly stepped aside, saying, "No, no need! Some of these are... intimate, secret garments that you shouldn't see. And there are also things for women to use that you shouldn't touch, so I'll handle it myself."
I was rejected again.
Tang Shan stood frozen in place, feeling as if an invisible membrane had suddenly separated him from the girl he had grown up with.
He realized that he seemed to know nothing about girls anymore. How could he change so quickly?
Didn't he always help with these things in the past?
If Xiao Wu could hear his inner thoughts, she would probably tell him helplessly: "Before? Before, I didn't even have my period! Before, we were all just kids! You know that was before!"
"Okay, okay..."
Tangshan said somewhat dejectedly, "Then hurry back, I'll be waiting for you to go out for dinner together."
Xiao Wu paused, a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Well, Third Brother, you go eat by yourself. I've already eaten with Rongrong and the others."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shan felt a tightness in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. After waiting for so long, all he got was this one sentence?
He cried out silently in his heart: Why? Why is this happening?
Xiao Wu seems to have become a completely different person ever since he met Jiang Yunzhou!
It became something that felt unfamiliar to him!
She no longer clung to him like before, and no longer obeyed his every word.
Watching that figure that didn't turn back, he could only silently turn around and walk alone towards the cafeteria, his back view looking particularly lonely.
However, a hint of gloom lurked deep within those lowered eyes.
He grew increasingly disgusted with the man named Jiang Yunzhou.
Instinctively, they accurately pinned the blame for Xiao Wu's transformation on Jiang Yunzhou.
If it weren't for the vast difference in strength between the two, he really wanted to rush over immediately and have a good 'reasoning' with him!
Half a month passed quietly.
After Hu Land arranged for Shi Laike and his group to go to the Soul Arena for training, Jiang Yunzhou suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered what important thing he had forgotten.
He was so focused on making things difficult for Shi Laike that he completely forgot about this excellent opportunity to make money!
Given Zhu Zhuqing's current combat abilities, sending her to the Soul Arena would be like handing over a human money-printing machine to yourself.
Wouldn't this make him a windfall?
In the past two weeks, Ning Rongrong has not made no progress.
On the contrary, in order to make a good impression on Jiang Yunzhou, she did not neglect her studies at all.
Zhu Zhuqing personally tested Ning Rongrong's 'Glass Wall', and its defensive power was indeed quite astonishing.
Without the ability to penetrate armor, it would be extremely difficult to shatter that glass shield using only brute force.
Jiang Yunzhou tailored a physical training program for them that could be described as 'devilish'.
It can be said to cover the entire period from morning to afternoon.
The two girls were tortured to the point of near death every day.
