"Who?" Xiaowu looked outside. Her dormitory was far from the boys' area, and under normal circumstances, no one would come to her side.
"It's me, who else could it be? Xu Ran." Xu Ran said with a laugh, unable to contain his happiness upon hearing Xiaowu's voice again after being away for so long.
"Xu Ran, you're back?" Hearing Xu Ran's voice, Xiaowu immediately became excited, jumping out of bed and rushing barefoot to open the door for Xu Ran.
However, the moment the door opened, Xiaowu's expression changed dramatically.
Because beside Xu Ran stood an incredibly beautiful girl, with a cool and detached demeanor. Her beauty was on par with Xiaowu's, but her figure was much more voluptuous. The way her full body outlined the curves of a woman's figure made even Xiaowu, a girl herself, unable to help taking a few more glances, let alone a man.
Which man doesn't like a woman with a good figure?
While Xiaowu examined Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing was doing the same.
Xiaowu's hair was neatly tied into a scorpion braid, hanging down to her calves. She wore a pink tight-fitting outfit that covered her developing petite frame. Although her figure was not as voluptuous, her slender waist that could be encircled with one hand and her incredibly long legs could make countless women feel inferior.
Neither of the girls spoke, each scrutinizing the other, with a touch of astonishment in their eyes. At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing naturally understood why Xu Ran liked Xiaowu. Such a woman like Xiaowu could also be considered stunningly beautiful. Although her figure was not yet full-bodied, given a few more years, she would definitely achieve a ravishing allure.
"Hello, I'm Zhu Zhuqing, Xu Ran's fiancée," Zhu Zhuqing said, extending her hand in a gesture of friendship. But her first sentence directly established her status as the legitimate partner. No matter how generous she was, allowing Xu Ran to be with other women, she wouldn't let anyone else take her place in Xu Ran's heart.
"So you're Zhu Qing. My name is Xiaowu, dance as in 'dancing.'" After a brief surge of anger, Xiaowu quickly grasped Zhu Zhuqing's identity. Xu Ran had already mentioned during his last departure that he would bring his fiancée with him next time. So, Xiaowu accepted this reality rather quickly.
However, when she heard Zhu Zhuqing mention that she was Xu Ran's fiancée, Xiaowu couldn't help but feel a sourness in her heart. If Zhu Zhuqing was Xu Ran's fiancée, what was she? What was her relationship with Xu Ran now? But as soon as this emotion surfaced, Xiaowu quickly quashed it. After all, Zhu Zhuqing was Xu Ran's fiancée. As the third party, could she even ask for any status?
"You two have a chat, Zhu Qing and I need to head to Soto City later to see if there's anything else we need to buy," Xu Ran said, turning to leave. After all, when two girls meet unexpectedly, they need time to get familiar with each other, and it wouldn't be interesting for him to stay there the whole time.
"Hehe, no need for you, I'll accompany Zhu Qing shopping. We've been participating in soul fighting competitions in Soto City these last few days and didn't have many classes," Zhu Zhuqing said with a nod, and proactively linked arms with Xiaowu. Although the two had just met, it seemed as if they had already become close sisters.
Of course, Xu Ran could still make out the stiffness and awkwardness on their faces. After all, they had just met each other, but once they grew familiar with each other after a few days, the strangeness should dissipate. Living in the same room, familiarity would erase any sense of unfamiliarity.
"Buy whatever you want, this Golden Soul Currency Card is for you both," Xu Ran generously stuffed the Golden Soul Currency Card that Davis had given him into Zhu Zhuqing's bosom, casually enjoying the softness between her arms and earning a reproachful glare from Zhu Zhuqing. Even in front of Xiaowu, Xu Ran knew no restraint.
…
At that time, in Dai Mubai's dormitory where he shared a large room with the fatty,
he became excited when he heard Ma Hongjun's words.
A girl beside Xu Ran with a full figure, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes? What did this mean? His fiancée had arrived.
Before leaving Xingluo City, he had told Zhu Zhuqing that he would go to Shrek Academy. Was Zhu Zhuqing coming to look for him now?
Dai Mubai couldn't help but burst out laughing inside, finding Xu Ran quite ridiculous.
His precious fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, came looking for him, but Xu Ran acted as if he was her guardian, protectively bringing Zhu Zhuqing to him. This scene made him want to laugh so badly. After all, what kind of genius was Xu Ran?
Such a genius, and yet he was nothing when it came to love, wasn't he?
Watching the woman he liked come to find her fiancé, but he himself had to personally bring her due to concerns for her safety. What kind of agony and helplessness must Xu Ran be feeling?
"Ah, Xu Ran, Xu Ran, you are still no match for me. No matter how pretty Xiaowu is, she isn't as beautiful as my Zhu Qing. Xiaowu may have long legs, but she can't compete with Zhu Qing's figure. Zhu Qing is still young, but she already has such an impressive figure…" Dai Mubai murmured, feeling extremely excited.
He hadn't seen Zhu Qing for a long time, and now that she was coming to him on her own, he had to perform well. To show up Xu Ran, he definitely wouldn't go to those places with Ma Hongjun anymore. Even if they were twin beauties, he didn't want to see them again.
His fiancée was a peerlessly beautiful girl, not to be compared with anyone else. Those women couldn't even compare to a single hair on his fiancée's body.
"Mubai, I advise you not to mess with Xu Ran anymore, you are no match for him," Ma Hongjun warned, not understanding what Dai Mubai was ranting about. The beautiful girl came in holding hands with Xu Ran; their relationship seemed very intimate. Was Dai Mubai thinking about hitting on Xu Ran's girlfriend again?
Last time, Dai Mubai was beaten up badly by Xu Ran, and now that his wounds had just begun to heal, he was provoking Xu Ran again?
"What do you know? This time, I will definitely make Xu Ran suffer. As the saying goes, 'To kill the body is to kill the heart.' Sometimes, to deal with an enemy, you don't need to resort to force; other methods can be much more painful. And this time, I will let Xu Ran see what it feels like to have his dignity trampled upon," Dai Mubai sneered coldly. After all, wasn't Xu Ran from the Zhu Clan? Wasn't Zhu Zhuqing his, Dai Mubai's, betrothed? And hadn't Xu Ran fallen for someone he shouldn't have?
Last time, Xu Ran gave him so many cuts with the sword; this time, he would carve just as many scars into Xu Ran's heart.
For a proud genius like Xu Ran, attacking his heart would undoubtedly cause more pain than beating him up.
"Mubai, I think there might be some misunderstanding. There are some things I must explain to you…" Ma Hongjun said gravely.
However, Dai Mubai was dismissive. Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée, what misunderstanding could there possibly be?
"Here's the key to the room at the Rose Hotel. You can go have fun with the twins now; don't bother me. And don't go blabbing about my past escapades," Dai Mubai said generously, making Ma Hongjun's eyes light up with envy. Dai Mubai had always cherished those twin beauties, and now he was just handing them over to him.
"Alright, Mubai, good luck to you, I'm off to cultivate," Ma Hongjun patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder, took the keys, and left. If Dai Mubai was looking to court death, so be it.
He had intended to tell Dai Mubai about the relationship between that girl and Xu Ran, but now he had completely lost the urge. He was tempted, truly tempted. The girls in the brothel were nowhere near as attractive as those twin beauties.
After Ma Hongjun left, Dai Mubai went to look for Zhu Zhuqing, but unfortunately, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiaowu had already left hand in hand much earlier.
However, he did see Xu Ran.
There stood Xu Ran, alone, letting the wind blow over him. From his silhouette, Dai Mubai could sense an indescribable loneliness and solitude.
He could even tell from Xu Ran's figure that his mood was not at all good.
