"Rongrong, what's wrong? Uh!"
Ye Qiu noticed a sweet scent at the tip of his nose and turned to look at her in surprise.
"!" x3
The three girls immediately widened their eyes. Ye Lingling cursed inwardly, 'How shameless!'
Ning Rongrong's face was covered in a large blush, looking delicate and lovely.
Dugu Yan's green eyes stared intently at the scene, her fists unconsciously clenching.
A hint of killing intent couldn't help but appear in her gaze towards Ye Qiu.
While she was still troubled by that engagement, he was already being intimate with other women!?
Ye Qiu also felt a moment of daze, as if his mouth was filled with a soft, sweet jelly bean.
"Mmm~" Ning Rongrong was the first to react, immediately moving her two red lips away. The sugar from the candied hawthorn on them had completely dissolved in Ye Qiu's mouth.
Lowering her head, she pursed her moist lips. Noticing the surrounding gazes, her face was shy, but her heart couldn't help but feel a little joy.
Her initial anger had dissipated considerably.
She glanced at Dugu Yan out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, it was a good blow to her!
Ning Rongrong's actions were also seen by Dugu Yan.
"Ye Qiu!" Dugu Yan looked coldly at Ye Qiu, her voice carrying a chill that dispelled all the heat in his heart.
"Ah? Cough, cough~" Ye Qiu's face flushed with embarrassment. Coming back to his senses, he immediately explained to Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, that... that was an accident just now!"
"Mm! I know," Ning Rongrong softly replied.
"Shouldn't you also give me an explanation!?" Dugu Yan's voice was cold, her eyes fixed on Ye Qiu.
"Ah?" Ye Qiu looked at her, a little uncertain.
He opened his mouth but didn't know how to speak.
Ye Lingling also noticed that her best friend beside her was a bit off, and looked at her strangely.
Why should he explain to you about a couple's little squabbles?
"Yan Zi! Are you alright?" Ye Lingling embraced her arm and only then realized that Dugu Yan's fists were clenched so tightly that her hands were trembling.
"I'm fine!" Dugu Yan exhaled a turbid breath, shook her head, and a self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She was very clear about the nature of her engagement with him!
'Could it be that Yan Zi really fancies this guy?'
Ye Lingling didn't expect that the joke she made seemed to have come true!
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, looked at Ye Qiu angrily, not understanding where this scoundrel had attracted another woman from!
"Ye Qiu! Aren't you going to introduce us?"
Ye Lingling saw that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she spoke to ease it, and also to gather information for her good sister.
"This is..."
As soon as Ye Qiu spoke, Ning Rongrong took over.
"My name is Ning Rongrong, and I'm from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Who are you two?"
Facing others, Miss Ning Rongrong was not afraid. She lay on Ye Qiu's back, her voice clear, and her expression carried a hint of arrogance.
"You are Ning Rongrong? The Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Dugu Yan looked at her in surprise, a bit different from the rumors? Where was the rumored little devil girl?
"Hmph! What? Does Miss not look like it?"
"Mm, indeed not!" Ye Lingling also spoke, looking at Ye Qiu with some curiosity. He could actually climb such a giant tree as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Suddenly, she noticed the lip print and teeth marks on Ye Qiu's cheek. This appearance seemed a bit familiar.
After a brief thought, Ye Lingling remembered, her eyes sweeping back and forth between Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong.
"So it was you last time too!"
"What last time?" Ning Rongrong looked at her strangely. She should have no impression of her at all.
"Miss Lingling, is something wrong?" Ye Qiu also looked at her strangely, not knowing why she was looking at him and saying such inexplicable things.
Dugu Yan, meanwhile, followed Ye Lingling's gaze.
Her already not-so-good face became even uglier, and she gritted her teeth as she glared at Ye Qiu!
"Pervert!"
"Ah~!" Ning Rongrong finally realized where they were looking and quickly reached out to wipe it off Ye Qiu.
"Rongrong, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu shook his head, avoiding Ning Rongrong's actions.
"Lingling! Let's go!" Dugu Yan gave Ye Qiu another cold look, then pulled Ye Lingling and left.
"Yan Zi! What exactly is going on between you and him?"
Ye Lingling was truly curious. Why was only Yan Zi fuming, while that guy Ye Qiu seemed to know nothing?
"It's nothing! I just feel a bit unwell!"
Dugu Yan pulled her, leaving without looking back.
... Ye Qiu stood rooted to the spot, looking at Dugu Yan's retreating back, a little puzzled in his heart!
'Could it be that she took that old guy's engagement seriously?'
"Rongrong, what are you still doing?" He swatted away Ning Rongrong's hand that was rubbing his face.
"There are still some teeth marks."
"Ah!?" Ye Qiu only then remembered.
No wonder those people had been staring at him earlier.
Ye Lingling's memory was really good; she remembered the teeth marks on it so clearly!
He looked speechlessly at Ning Rongrong.
"What are you looking at? Miss suffered a great loss! Hmph! Scumbag!"
She glared at Ye Qiu exasperatedly.
Curiously glancing in the direction the two girls left, Ning Rongrong stopped talking and continued eating the candied hawthorn in her hand.
After Ye Lingling and the other girl's commotion, Ye Qiu also didn't want to go to a restaurant anymore.
He carried Ning Rongrong on his back and walked out of the city.
"Ye Qiu! Who exactly are those two?" After finishing the candied hawthorn in her hand, Ning Rongrong leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear.
"Dugu Yan, Poison Douluo's granddaughter!"
"Ye Lingling, the successor of Nine Heart Sea棠!"
"Hiss~" As soon as he finished speaking, another sharp pain suddenly came from his shoulder.
"Why are you biting me again?!"
Ning Rongrong pouted.
"Hehe~ Nothing! Just annoyed!"
She glared at Ye Qiu resentfully. Why did this scoundrel attract other people again? And their identities were not simple!
She had smelled it just now; the girl's scent on Ye Qiu when he returned yesterday came from that Dugu Yan!
So, when he went to do something, he went to find a woman! What a scoundrel!
Exiting the city gate, the two arrived at the small forest from before.
Without any more trouble, Ye Qiu successfully took Ning Rongrong back to that small courtyard using Kamui.
"Brother~!"
As soon as he appeared in the courtyard,
a blue figure rushed over and threw herself into Ye Qiu's embrace.
"Sister Rongrong~!"
Seeing Ning Rongrong on Ye Qiu's back, Xiao Lan also greeted her.
"Huh? Did Sister Rongrong cry again?"
"I... I didn't!"
Letting go of Ye Qiu, Ning Rongrong got off his back, covering her face, feeling a bit embarrassed.
She glanced at Ye Qiu, then snorted and ran back to her room. Her anger hadn't completely subsided, and she still felt a bit awkward!
"Brother~ What's wrong with Sister Rongrong? Did you bully her?"
Seeing Ning Rongrong run off, Xiao Lan naturally occupied Ye Qiu's neck, hanging onto him completely.
"Hehe~ I guess so!" Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, embracing her slender waist, and gently nodded.
Without giving her a chance to ask more, Ye Qiu directly pulled out a bunch of candied hawthorn.
"Here! I brought you something delicious!"
"Great! Mwah~"
Xiao Lan looked at the shiny candied hawthorn, kissed Ye Qiu, then left his embrace and went to embrace the candied hawthorn in Ye Qiu's hand!
"Tomorrow, Brother will take you to a good place!" He ruffled her soft hair.
"Okay! Wherever Brother goes, Xiao Lan goes! Hehe~"
In the room, Ning Rongrong, who had been leaning against the door, suddenly turned pale when she heard Ye Qiu was going to take Xiao Lan away!
