"You!"
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth but couldn't retort.
After all, she was currently pinned under Ye Qiu, and if he wanted to, she could be taken advantage of at any moment.
Ye Qiu looked at Ning Rongrong's flushed and pretty face. It had to be said, the little witch was indeed naturally beautiful, with skin so delicate it seemed it could be broken by a mere touch.
"You, you get off me!"
Ning Rongrong avoided his gaze, tightly hugging herself and turning her face away.
"Alright."
Ye Qiu smiled and stood up straight.Glancing down at the spot Ning Rongrong was protecting, he couldn't help but curl his lip.
For someone as flat as her,
shouldn't she be desperately holding onto her skirt at a time like this?
"Hey, where are you looking?!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, quickly stood up, and hugged her knees to her chest.
She glared fiercely at Ye Qiu.
"Can't I just look? It's not like you're not wearing clothes."
Ye Qiu shrugged, indifferent.
"Hmph! Even if what you said earlier was right,"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, her eyes downcast and dim.
She was still somewhat sullen."Am I right that you're still feeling down?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, leaned back against the rock again, looked up at the cold jade plate hanging high in the night sky, and murmured:
"Still brooding over what happened earlier?"
"..."
Ning Rongrong remained silent.
The emotions that had just calmed down became low and sad again.
What made her even more upset than Flender's belittlement was what had happened tonight.
She curled her legs up and hugged her knees with both hands.
Lowering her head, the tears in her eyes shimmered again as she asked in confusion:
"Damn liar, you said...""What exactly did I do wrong?"
Thinking of Ye Qiu's unrestrained words.
Ning Rongrong immediately looked up at Ye Qiu again, her voice choked with sobs, and said with grievance:
"Don't call me stupid anymore!"
Ye Qiu chuckled softly, looking at Ning Rongrong's tear-streaked face.
He gently shook his head.
"Actually, you didn't do anything wrong."
"You're lying to me, I didn't do anything wrong... Why doesn't anyone want to be my friend?!"
Ning Rongrong thought Ye Qiu was just comforting her.
"Hmph"
Ye Qiu scoffed and shook his head, looking at Ning Rongrong with a meaningful gaze in his eyes."You're the young lady, what could you have done wrong?"
"If I must say you've done something wrong, it's that you haven't positioned yourself correctly."
Ning Rongrong wiped her tears, somewhat puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Qiu reached out and pinched Ning Rongrong's tear-streaked, cool cheek, exasperatedly saying, "Tell me, does your father have many friends?"
"He, he..."
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
She really couldn't think of how many true friends Ning Fengzhi had when he was out and about.
"So, how about it?""Can't say it, can you?"
Ye Qiu continued with a smile.
"You are the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and in the future, you might even become the heir, the clan leader. You are destined to be high above, and very few people stand at the same height as you."
"Often, it's not because you're not good enough!"
"It's because most people are in awe of your power and dislike your arrogance. They feel inferior and find it difficult to have an equal conversation with you, yet they desire to communicate with you on equal terms. Deliberately trying to get close only makes both parties feel uncomfortable."Ning Rongrong stared blankly at Ye Qiu, her eyes flickering with a strange light. These were words she had never heard before.
They seemed to make a lot of sense.
But at the same time, Ning Rongrong felt something was off.
According to Ye Qiu's reasoning...
Was it not that she didn't have friends because she wasn't good enough, but because she was too good, too outstanding?
Was she really not at fault?
Ning Rongrong was somewhat confused, and the tears welling up in her eyes began to subside.
Her tearful eyes blinked, misty and uncertain.
"Then why... do they call me 'Little Witch' behind my back?"
"Little Witch?""Is that all?!"
"The little witch who gets teary-eyed with just a few words and then runs away?"
Ye Qiu feigned surprise, even with a hint of disdain.
Which noble child doesn't have a bit of arrogance?
Bullying men and women, committing all sorts of evils.
There are quite a few like that.
Even Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai are no better.
And Ning Rongrong, with her status and position.
She only enjoys playing childish pranks.
Ye Qiu has reason to believe.
If Flender had encountered some other nobles.I'm afraid they might just go back crying and shaking, ready to redecorate Shrek.
"Ye Qiu!"
Ning Rongrong frowned, her willow-like eyebrows knitting together in frustration.
She had lost count of how many times Ye Qiu had looked down on her tonight.
Wasn't she supposed to be the one on top?!
This damn liar! Always spouting nonsense to deceive her!
"Hmph!"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, her delicate eyebrows raising as she belatedly realized something was off, looking at Ye Qiu with suspicion.
"Wait, something's not right."
"What's not right?"
Ye Qiu glanced at her, puzzled."Do you know me?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with doubt and a hint of vigilance.
She had never mentioned that she was the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
How did that damned liar know?!
"Heh, I've been to Tiandou City and heard of your name. Is that unreasonable?"
Ye Qiu responded with a light chuckle.
It seems Ning Rongrong isn't really foolish after all.
Noticing Ye Qiu's surprised gaze, Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth.
She knew Ye Qiu was silently mocking her intelligence again.
All she could do was let out a helpless cold snort, turn her head away, and remain silent.Ye Qiu chuckled softly.
He wasn't in a hurry; after all, he would claim her martial soul tonight.
As for changing Ning Rongrong?
He had no interest in that at all.
She's still young, and it's normal for her to be mischievous.
With more exposure to the outside world, time would shape her into the person she was meant to be.
For now, he was confident he could handle her.
Whether she was truly a little devil or not, it wouldn't be a problem.
After a long while.
Ning Rongrong, having wiped away her tears, regained some of her little devil demeanor.
She glanced at Ye Qiu.With a cold snort.
"Hmph! Even if everything you say is right, according to you, wouldn't it be very difficult for me to make friends?"
Ye Qiu smiled smugly, pointing his thumb at himself.
"Who says that? Aren't you able to make one right now?"
"You mean you?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"What? Not possible?"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
He gazed intently at Ning Rongrong, looking her up and down, with an expression on his face that seemed almost like he was bestowing a favor.
"What Flender said, that you would die the fastest on the battlefield, it's not like I can't protect you."Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed.
She regained some of her fierceness.
Straightening her body and lifting her snow-white, blushing neck, she said proudly:
"What? You want to hit on me?"
Ye Qiu smirked playfully.
"What? Can't I?"
"Ah! I, I'll hit you, you deadhead!"
Ning Rongrong suddenly exclaimed, pushing Ye Qiu's approaching head to the side.
"Hey! You're burning the bridge after crossing it."
Ye Qiu quickly grabbed Ning Rongrong's small hand.
"You, let me go!"Ning Rongrong anxiously pulled her hand back.
In the darkness,
Ning Rongrong's face was flushed, and her heart was racing.
A little playful scuffle had completely dispelled her earlier sadness.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
