"We weren't talking about you. We were discussing Huo Feng," Ning Rongrong said. She looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a wide smile, hoping to see her panic.
But Ning Rongrong was quickly disappointed.
"Huo Feng?" Zhu Zhuqing's expression was surprisingly calm. As she tidied her bed, she casually asked, "What about him?"
Ning Rongrong giggled and turned to give Xiao Wu a mischievous look. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Wu's face turned bright red. She quickly covered Ning Rongrong's mouth.
Xiao Wu glared at her, her heart pounding fast. She remembered what Ning Rongrong had said earlier and felt a funny feeling in her chest. It would be too embarrassing if Ning Rongrong said something crazy.
Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly to show she wouldn't say anything. Xiao Wu finally moved her hand.
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing with a serious face. Then, she suddenly dropped a bombshell.
"It's just... Xiao Wu wants to know if you're also interested in Huo Feng."
"Hahahahaha!"
After saying that, Ning Rongrong dashed away, covering her mouth and laughing.
Xiao Wu's whole face turned crimson. She pouted and immediately shot back, "Zhuqing, don't listen to Rongrong's nonsense! I never wanted to ask you that. She clearly wanted to ask it herself and is just blaming me!"
Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, her cheeks flushed. Her breathing was uneven, and she looked very cute.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was still tidying her bed, suddenly froze.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu waited for several seconds, but she didn't speak. The air in the room became a little awkward.
Zhu Zhuqing had her back to them, so they couldn't see the blush creeping onto her face.
"Ahem... Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Zhu Zhuqing's reply was unexpected. Both Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had been joking, but Zhu Zhuqing sounded a little serious. Her tone was especially serious.
"Because we need to create a united front!" Ning Rongrong declared. "If you're also interested in Huo Feng, then the three of us will be teammates from now on. If anyone tries to bully Huo Feng, we'll all go together and beat them to death!"
Ning Rongrong's overly dramatic words startled Zhu Zhuqing. They even surprised Xiao Wu, who was somewhat prepared.
Is that something a young girl should say? Xiao Wu thought. Shouldn't girls be more reserved?
Xiao Wu already thought of herself as pretty carefree. Zhu Zhuqing was usually aloof. And Ning Rongrong was a complete clown. She dared to say whatever she thought.
"Then..." Zhu Zhuqing started. "If you guys are going, just remember to call me."
Her voice became much softer by the end of the sentence. Then, she just continued tidying her things as if nothing had happened.
With Zhu Zhuqing's personality, she could never be as open and direct as Ning Rongrong. This quiet agreement was the most she could say.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Ning Rongrong's smile grew even wider.
This girl is clearly shy, she thought. If I ran over and looked right now, I'd definitely see her blushing.
The usually cold Zhu Zhuqing was blushing because of a boy. Ning Rongrong truly hadn't expected that.
Normally, when the three of them went shopping, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't even look at a man, no matter how handsome he was. It even made Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong wonder privately if Zhu Zhuqing liked girls.
Now, their doubts were gone.
It wasn't that Zhu Zhuqing was uninterested in boys. It was just that the boys she met weren't good enough for her.
But Huo Feng was different.
"Xiao Wu, what about you?" Ning Rongrong turned to her. "Are you interested in my idea?"
Xiao Wu pouted and pretended to be indifferent. "Huo Feng and I are already on the same side, okay?"
Xiao Wu's words were from the heart. From the first time she saw Huo Feng at Notting Academy, she felt like her heart was captured by him. In Xiao Wu's eyes, Huo Feng was always full of charm.
Ning Rongrong nodded, clearly satisfied.
Just then, she called Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing over. The three girls formed a circle. Ning Rongrong told them to hold out their right hands.
"Rongrong, what are you doing?"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were both confused. What was Ning Rongrong planning now?
"Since the three of us are on a united front, doesn't that make us sisters?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu nodded. Their relationship was already very good. They often called each other sisters.
Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded, showing her dimples. "That's right! Since that's the case, let's the three of us become sworn sisters. We'll be together forever! What do you think?"
Ning Rongrong still had one more thought, but she didn't say it. She wanted to add: And we'll all revolve around Huo Feng.
Saying that out loud was still a bit too embarrassing.
But even without that part, her words surprised Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. They calmed down and thought about it. Ning Rongrong's idea wasn't bad.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were still a little confused, Ning Rongrong acted first. She put her right hand out, palm down.
"Clap!"
Immediately, Xiao Wu placed her right hand on top of Ning Rongrong's. She didn't control her strength, and the slap made a loud, crisp sound in the dormitory.
The noise made all three of them burst into laughter.
Zhu Zhuqing finally relaxed completely.
"Clap!"
The next second, she placed her hand on top of Xiao Wu's.
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
And so, a famous scene was born in the girls' dormitory. It was the Three Sisters' Oath: from now on, they would all revolve around Huo Feng.
The day passed quickly.
Everyone was tired from returning to Shrek Academy, so there were no activities on the first day back. Basically, everyone just rested in their dorm rooms.
Early the next morning, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun dragged Oscar away. Who knows if they went off to have fun again.
Finally, Huo Feng was left alone in the dormitory.
He closed the doors and windows. Then, he opened his long-awaited system panel and clicked on the system store.
In the upper-right corner, the number of Sacrifice Points had reached over fourteen thousand.
