The morning sunlight filtered through the window lattices of the girls' dormitory, casting a mottled glow beside Zhu Zhuqing's bed. However, the three girls, still shrouded in lazy drowsiness, didn't seem to notice the passage of time.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly woke up from her dream. Opening her hazy eyes, she found that the others in the dormitory were still immersed in sleep.
"Xiao Wu! Rongrong! Wake up quickly! We've overslept!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice carried a sense of urgency and anxiety, rousing the other two women who were still in sweet dreams.
"There's no time for breakfast. Let's go straight to the playground."
They quickly tidied their clothes, jumped out of bed in a hurry, and put on their shoes while rushing towards the door.
On the other side of the playground, after having a good meal, several boys walked over from the direction of the cafeteria, chatting and laughing.
Chen Feng's tall and straight figure stood out among the crowd. In his hand was a steaming - hot egg, and the sunlight refracted little halos on it, making it look extremely tempting.
He held the egg high in his hand and shook it. The air seemed to carry the smell of the cafeteria kitchen. He shouted loudly to Zhu Zhuqing,
"You didn't have time for breakfast, right? I've prepared it for you!"
However, because Ning Rongrong was standing in front of Zhu Zhuqing, due to the misperception of the line of sight, Chen Feng's words seemed to be addressed to Ning Rongrong.
In the past, every time for breakfast, Chen Feng would personally bring it to her mouth.
It seemed that the Chen Feng who had taken meticulous care of her was back.
Instantly, Ning Rongrong's face was filled with pleasant surprise and pride.
She even glanced back at Zhu Zhuqing with a bit of provocation.
As if to say, "Look, Chen Feng still cares about me the most."
She slightly raised her chin, and a trace of unconcealable pride showed in her eyes.
"Chen Feng, you're sensible this time. You still know how to care about me. I won't hold it against you for what you did to oppose me before, 哼 (hum)."
Ning Rongrong muttered in a low voice, her tone full of a queen - like sense of superiority.
[Ding, it is detected that Ning Rongrong has emotions of pleasant surprise + pride, and the emotion value + 150]
However, Xiao Wu, who was standing next to Ning Rongrong, had clear eyes like a mountain spring that were now full of confusion.
She knew that Chen Feng's intentions at this moment were not what Ning Rongrong thought.
Xiao Wu couldn't help thinking to herself, "What's going on? Why is this woman, Ning Rongrong, so narcissistic..."
The golden sunlight passed through the dense gaps in the leaves, mottling the bluestone path and casting the approaching figures of Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong's heart rate accelerated at this moment. Her mind was like a theater director, weaving one scene after another: Chen Feng bowing his head to admit his guilt, and she, like a noble princess, forgiving his rudeness with her kindness.
Five meters.
A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
She imagined Chen Feng coming towards her with an apologetic look.
Three meters.
Ning Rongrong's heart was pounding wildly. She could almost hear the sound of her heartbeat echoing on this quiet path.
One meter.
At this moment, Chen Feng was right in front of her.
Ning Rongrong was already prepared to accept his humble apology.
She slightly stretched out her small hand.
Her posture was arrogant yet tinged with a hint of expectation.
"Finally, you still have a bit of conscience. Then I'll be merciful and reluctantly accept it..."
[Ding, it is detected that Ning Rongrong has an extremely expectant emotion, and the emotion value + 250]
But at this exciting moment, Chen Feng passed by her like a gust of wind. His destination was not Ning Rongrong's outstretched palm, but Zhu Zhuqing's gentle smile.
"Zhuqing, eat quickly. Don't starve."
Chen Feng's warm voice made Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks blush like a peach blossom.
She happily took the food, her heart filled with a faint sweetness.
Ning Rongrong, who was ignored, was immediately stunned.
Her heart was filled with disappointment in an instant, and the world in front of her seemed to lose all its colors. How could this be... How could this happen?
This wasn't following the script. In the fantasy she had woven, Chen Feng should have been regretful, bitter, and bowing his head to her. But in reality, it was his indifferent turn, without a single ripple.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong felt like a complete clown.
[Ding, it is detected that Ning Rongrong has an extremely astonished emotion, and the emotion value + 250]
Indignation and humiliation intertwined into an invisible force, flushing her cheeks. Her voice was high - pitched and slightly trembling:
"Asshole!"
"Chen Feng, you're an asshole!"
Chen Feng's reply was so indifferent, as if the argument between them was just an insignificant farce:
"Hehe, have you finished scolding?"
"I didn't prepare the eggs for you."
"Don't be so self - indulgent."
"You can get eggs in the cafeteria. If you want them, go get them yourself."
Ning Rongrong stood there, stunned. Her proud heart seemed to be ruthlessly thrown to the ground and shattered into a thousand pieces.
He actually said I was being self - indulgent.
Although this was the truth, Ning Rongrong absolutely refused to admit it.
Because if she admitted it, wouldn't it mean she was inferior to Chen Feng?
Was she the kind of woman who cried and begged for a man's love?
No way.
"Who wants your eggs?"
"Even if you gave them to me personally, I wouldn't eat them."
"It's as if I, the princess, would fancy your two stinky eggs."
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
[Ding, it is detected that Ning Rongrong has emotions of sadness + self - protection, and the emotion value + 200]
The morning sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves and spilled onto the paths of Shrek Academy. Morning dew glistened like crystal on the tips of the grass.
At this time, several other boys finally arrived.
Among them, Gu Long held the food he had carefully prepared in his hand, and a sycophantic smile was on his face.
Gu Long carefully presented his food in front of Ning Rongrong and said gently, "Rongrong, have breakfast quickly, or you'll get hungry."
Ning Rongrong's anger hadn't subsided yet. With a wave of her arm, the bread and roasted meat scattered all over the ground like kites with broken strings:
"Get lost! Who wants to eat your lousy eggs! I'm not hungry at all!"
Gu Long was stunned. He shook his head helplessly.
"Rongrong, what I brought isn't eggs..."
Before his words of defense could fully leave his mouth, they were swallowed up by Ning Rongrong's anger.
"Who said I want to eat eggs!
"I hate eggs the most!
"Scram."
Ning Rongrong's anger remained unabated.
Seeing this scene, Oscar, who had also brought breakfast and was about to give it to Ning Rongrong, was so scared that he carefully hid the food back, for fear that he would also become a victim of the volcanic eruption.
However, in this tense atmosphere, Xiao Wu's stomach growled inappropriately. It was as if it was saying, "I'm hungry."
Tang San instantly stiffened, his face ashen. He realized his mistake - he had forgotten to bring food.
Just then, Chen Feng's voice, like a gentle breeze, broke the awkward deadlock:
"I took four eggs. Zhuqing ate two, and there are two left. Do you want to eat them, Xiao Wu?"
Xiao Wu, as if she had met a savior, nodded repeatedly, took the eggs, and ate them with satisfaction.
Tang San saw this, his face turned gloomy, his brows furrowed tightly, and his mouth twisted in anger.
Chen Feng, you've already signed your own death warrant!
