This matter indeed needs to be handled properly. It's not just Ning Rongrong, but also Zhu Zhuqing; she's difficult to deal with too!
The scene of their parting was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to become the next Brother Cheng.
Looking up at the sky, he had been delayed for some time on the road, and it was getting late.
Ye Qiu took a step, not saying anything more.
Carrying the now quiet Ning Rongrong, he silently walked into Heaven Dou City.
At this time, the city was already bustling, and various hawkers' cries could be heard from afar, rising and falling.
"Rongrong, do you still want to go to the south of the city for breakfast?"
"No need! I've lost my appetite."
Ning Rongrong spoke weakly, her small hands wrapped around Ye Qiu, quietly lying on his back.
She was already full of anger; she couldn't believe that scoundrel Ye Qiu actually wanted to distance himself from her!
She had been so good to him!
Tears of grievance fell as soon as she thought of this.
"Then let's go shopping first!"
"Whatever you want!"
Ye Qiu gave a wry smile, picked a random direction, and was about to set off.
"Wrong, go right!"
Although she said she didn't care about Ye Qiu, seeing him go the wrong way, she still spoke up to correct him.
Of course, Ye Qiu thought it would be even better if she didn't pull his hair.
"Thank you!"
Ye Qiu grinned.
A silence was his only response.
Ye Qiu also knew that what he did was indeed unkind, so he could only give a dry laugh and silently walk to the right.
…
Before long, under Ning Rongrong's not-so-friendly guidance, Ye Qiu bought the things he needed.
It was just that the people around him looked at him strangely, but Ye Qiu didn't pay much attention.
It was indeed a bit unusual to wander between several shops carrying a beautiful girl without ever putting her down.
But Ning Rongrong knew very well what they were looking at.
She buried her head, hiding her flushed, tear-stained small face.
Seeing the vermillion lipstick marks and some bite marks on Ye Qiu's face, she was displeased and didn't remind Ye Qiu.
And Ye Qiu himself, after an unpleasant exchange with Ning Rongrong, had also forgotten the marks on his face.
He was just about to leave Heaven Dou City directly when he suddenly remembered that there was a little foodie at home.
Hearing the sound of hawkers selling candied haws nearby, Ye Qiu moved forward.
"Elder, how many candied haws do you have left? I'll take them all."
"Young Master…"
…
While Ye Qiu was buying candied haws, not far from him, two young women were walking hand in hand on the bustling street.
One wore a goose-yellow long dress, with a black veil over her face, silver long hair, and light blue eyes.
The other's hair color was a bit strange, purple mixed with a hint of green, and even her eyes were green, wearing a black tight-fitting suit.
These two were Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, who had just emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well this morning.
"Yan Zi! You seem to be in a good mood today! You even asked me to go shopping."
Ye Lingling brushed the silver strands that had fallen by her ear and looked curiously at her good friend beside her.
"Yes, I do feel much more relaxed!" Dugu Yan's face was no longer pale as before, with much more color.
After taking the pills Ye Qiu left, her pain had basically disappeared, and she believed it wouldn't be long before she recovered as usual!
The sword of Damocles hanging over her head had disappeared, so her mood naturally improved.
"Is it related to that guy Ye Qiu?" Ye Lingling continued.
"Ye Qiu…" Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity when she heard the name. Her fingertips caressed her red lips, and the remaining paleness on her face was covered by a sudden flush.
Then she nodded.
"It is indeed because of his help."
"I say, Yan Zi! Why are you blushing? You haven't fallen for him, have you?"
Ye Lingling was also a bit surprised. Dugu Yan, who usually showed no expression to any man, would blush just by hearing a name.
"Lingling! What nonsense are you talking about! Hmph, how could I fall in love so easily!"
Dugu Yan immediately put away that hint of shyness and glared at Ye Lingling beside her.
"Really not? Someone was hugging and carrying him to his face before!"
"And like a little wife, she was led away by him holding her little hand, wasn't she? My Yan Yan~"
A playful smile lifted the corners of her mouth beneath the veil as she teased her.
"Lingling…!"
"Eh!"
Before Dugu Yan could respond, Ye Lingling's gaze went past her and landed on a blue-haired young man.
"Ye Qiu!"
"Hmm?" Dugu Yan also noticed the surprise in her eyes, and hearing the name she called out, she merely smiled faintly.
"Lingling, I'm not a child; you can't trick me like that!"
"It really is him!" Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, then showed a hint of a smile.
"He seems to be carrying a little beauty on his back~ Look!"
Ye Lingling pulled Dugu Yan, turning her around.
Only then did she believe that Ye Lingling had indeed not lied to her; not far ahead, it was indeed the figure of that lecher!
Dugu Yan only glanced at Ye Qiu, and her gaze was drawn to the girl on his back, her brows immediately furrowing.
Ye Lingling, however, didn't notice the slight expression on her face. She pulled her and walked towards Ye Qiu.
…
"Gurgle~"
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu, who had just stored the bought candied haws into his Divine Might Space, suddenly heard a sound from behind him.
"Grumble~"
Just as he was feeling a bit puzzled, another sound came.
This time, Ye Qiu heard it clearly.
It turned out to be the sound coming from Ning Rongrong's stomach on his back.
"Rongrong, are you hungry?"
"Nonsense! Of course not…" "Grumble~"
As she spoke, her stomach rumbled continuously. Ning Rongrong, whose face was already flushed from responding to Ye Qiu, felt even more mortified.
"Haha~" Ye Qiu laughed dumbly, taking out two strings of freshly bought candied haws from his Divine Might Space.
"Rongrong, want to eat some candied haws?"
"No!" Ning Rongrong buried her head, speaking in a muffled voice.
"Didn't you say you had no appetite just now? Candied haws are an appetizer."
Saying that, Ye Qiu consciously put the candied haws into the two jade-like hands wrapped around his front.
Ning Rongrong honestly held them in her hands.
"Thank you!"
Seeing Ye Qiu insist on giving them to her, Ning Rongrong quietly thanked him, composed herself, and extended her small pink tongue to slowly taste the candied haws in her hand.
Her face was still slightly flushed.
Just as he was about to take her to a hotel to solve the problem of their hungry stomachs.
Beside him, Ye Lingling's voice sounded.
"Ye Qiu!"
"Hmm? Miss Lingling, and Miss Dugu! Are you two also out shopping?"
Ye Qiu turned around and saw two familiar figures.
"Yes! What a coincidence!"
In front of Ye Qiu, Ye Lingling returned to her usual lifeless demeanor, with no extra expression on her face, and a hint of indifference in her eyes.
Dugu Yan, however, looked at Ning Rongrong on Ye Qiu's back, and an inexplicable surge of irritation rose in her heart.
A man and a woman, both flushed, looked like a pair of lovers in every way!
And Ning Rongrong also saw the two of them. Looking at their fully developed figures, and thinking of that scoundrel Ye Qiu's preference for size, her heart immediately became alert!
Although she hadn't successfully taken her place yet, it didn't prevent her from driving away competitors!
Especially that green-eyed woman who kept staring at her and Ye Qiu!
She tightened her arms, pressing her small face against Ye Qiu's, her sticky lips almost touching his.
