I came over all by myself while dazed…
Xiao Wu had her mouth covered by Lu Xiao and instantly didn’t dare to make a sound, her pink eyes opened wide.
She stiffly turned her head and saw Ning Rongrong sleeping soundly by her side, completely dazed.
She was already used to staying with Lu Xiao, so she quietly looked for Lu Xiao in the middle of the night, and even casually locked the door from the inside when she entered.
Lu Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he could not stop giving a wry smile in his heart.
Running away was no longer an option.
He gently and slowly put on his clothes.
Outside the door, Ning Fengzhi’s voice came again, his gentle tone already revealing a bit of oppression and impatience,
“Lu Xiao, the door is locked from the inside, and it is inconvenient for us to barge in.
Please open the door quickly.”
The locked door, the two little girls sleeping in the same bed, the messy and warm quilts…
Every single detail left Lu Xiao with no idea where to start explaining.
After dressing, Lu Xiao raised his hand to gently rub his brow, carefully avoiding Ning Rongrong’s body, and walked lightly to the door.
His fingertips fell on the latch, a slight click sounded, and the locked door unlocked in response.
“Creeak—”
The door slowly pulled open.
Ning Fengzhi wore a suit of simple and elegant white clothes, his posture upright and gentle, his eyebrows and eyes as elegant as jade, and his usually smiling eyes were calm and waveless at this moment.
It was just that pair of eyes that saw through the ways of the world, landing on the bed at the very first moment.
Gu Rong by his side had a cold expression like frost, his aura was biting, and his gaze instantly locked onto the room.
The next second, the gazes of the two froze together.
On the small bed, the quilts were messy.
On one side, Xiao Wu sat up, her dark hair slightly messy, her eyes drifting, clutching the quilt at a loss, so nervous she didn’t dare to raise her head.
On the other side, Ning Rongrong, the little princess gathered with thousands of favors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, clamped her legs tightly around the quilt, sleeping with a sweet and peaceful expression, her mouth even carrying a faint smile.
One on the left and one on the right, the two little girls were sleeping between the young man’s bed.
The air instantly became dead silent, you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Rong’s eye twitched slightly, and a wave of anger surged into his heart.
Ning Fengzhi’s gentle face completely stagnated, the smile on the corners of his mouth faded, and his eyes were full of complexity.
The two of them naturally noticed that Ning Rongrong sneaked out last night, thinking it was just a moment of playfulness and didn’t take it to heart.
Lu Xiao stood at the door, rarely at a loss, opened his mouth, and actually didn’t know how to explain.
Say that Ning Rongrong crawled into the quilt unconsciously while drunk?
Then what about Xiao Wu?
In this situation, words could not wash it clean.
Just at the moment when the atmosphere froze to the freezing point, Ning Rongrong’s eyelashes on the bed trembled slightly.
The little girl, with morning laziness and residual drunkenness, vaguely opened her eyes.
She opened her eyes drowsily, blankly swept across the door, her sight falling on Ning Fengzhi who had a calm expression but a heavy aura, and her brain crashed for a full three seconds.
The next moment, a crisp, soft, and glutinous voice with a hint of doubt sounded, “Dad?!”
She abruptly lowered her head and saw that she was lying in Lu Xiao’s quilt.
Turning her head again, what came into view was Xiao Wu who also had a flustered look.
Looking around left and right, there were the messy bed, the open door, the father with a deep expression at the door, and the cold-faced Bone Grandpa.
Her own dazed actions from last night surfaced in her mind.
Ning Rongrong’s fair little face turned fiercely red at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning red all the way from her cheeks to the roots of her ears and her neck, as if she was going to smoke.
Her whole person wrapped into a snow-white dumpling, burying her head into the pillow, refusing to raise her head to see people no matter what.
“It’s not, it’s not that!
Dad, listen to my explanation!”
She stammered incoherently, so flustered that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet, saying with a trembling voice: “I, I was dizzy from eating roasted meat yesterday… I didn’t mean to!”
As the words fell, two cold gazes instantly locked onto Lu Xiao.
At this moment, even if Lu Xiao jumped into the Lake of Life, he wouldn’t be able to wash away his grievances.
You want to explain, at least let me get ready first!
What are you crying for!??
Lu Xiao took a light breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and took the lead to break the dead silence, “School Master Ning, Lord Bone Douluo, last night’s situation was special.”
“Rongrong gluttonously ate Soul Beast roasted meat with intoxicating properties, and her consciousness was groggy so she couldn’t go back by herself, so she stayed overnight temporarily, which is definitely not what you all think.”
Ning Fengzhi quietly looked at him, the complicated emotions in his eyes rolling endlessly.
“Rongrong?
You call her quite intimately!”
Gu Rong’s eyes were cold, his heavy gaze swept across the bed, and he said coldly: “Tell this old man!
Why is she in your bed!”
Ning Rongrong buried herself in the quilt, hearing Gu Rong’s questioning, her eye sockets turned red with anxiety, and a muffled cry came out from the quilt: “It really has nothing to do with Lu Xiao… I came over all by myself while dazed…”
For some reason, seeing Lu Xiao being blamed by Bone Grandpa, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.
Just at this time, Du Busi slowly walked over, raised his hands to embrace Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong’s shoulders respectively, and smiled: “A group of pure-minded juniors, a mix-up accident, insisting on making a big deal out of it is simply making too much of a fuss.”
A trace of entanglement flashed across Ning Fengzhi’s eyes.
Du Busi took the opportunity to persuade: “Let’s go, leave the young people’s affairs to them to solve themselves.”
After speaking, Du Busi led Ning Fengzhi out of Lu Xiao’s room.
As for Gu Rong, he was dragged away by brute force.
The door was gently closed, cutting off the aura outside the door.
In the quiet room, only Ning Rongrong’s intermittent soft sobs remained.
She secretly raised her eyes, carefully took a peek at Lu Xiao, her eyes full of guilt, and said with a choked voice: “It, it’s all my fault…”
“If I hadn’t been greedy for roasted meat last night and hadn’t been drunk, I wouldn’t have run into your bed, and even less would I have implicated you in being scolded by Bone Grandpa and misunderstood by Dad…”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, her eye sockets were red, and tears were spinning in her eyes, almost falling.
Lu Xiao smiled helplessly and shook his head gently: “Alright, stop blaming yourself.”
Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Xiao in front of her, and said in a small, apprehensive voice: “Then… what should we do now?
Dad and the others must have misunderstood to death…”
“The innocent are self-cleansing.”
Lu Xiao calmly uttered four words.
He was out of ideas too!
If Ning Rongrong wasn’t too young, Lu Xiao would have suspected that Ning Fengzhi had set up a scheme to frame him!
After Ning Rongrong’s emotions stabilized, he slowly walked out of the bamboo building.
As soon as he walked out of the bamboo building, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong came directly to his side.
Ning Fengzhi was still gentle and elegant, but Gu Rong’s right eye was swollen for some reason.
“Lord Bone Douluo, what happened to you?” Lu Xiao asked curiously.
Gu Rong glanced at Du Busi’s fist the size of a sandbag, his mouth twitching secretly.
Didn’t I just say a few words about your disciple?
As for being so ruthless?
He was shouting “Does my disciple not suffer a loss either?”, and then came two bang-bang punches!
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying helplessly: “Uncle Gu… He is old and accidentally took a fall.”
Lu Xiao saw through it without exposing it, “School Master Ning, is there something you need?”
Hearing these words, a burst of anger couldn’t help welling up in Gu Rong’s heart.
This brat just had Rongrong…
And now he actually has the attitude of pulling up his pants and not recognizing anyone!
Ning Fengzhi’s gaze was soft, and he calmly spoke: “I want to invite you to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study in two years!”
Lu Xiao frowned slightly and did not refuse, “I will seriously consider it!”
Ning Fengzhi nodded, patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder, and smiled: “When you arrive in Heaven Dou City, remember to write me a letter!”
As his voice fell, he didn’t drag his feet and directly took Bone Douluo away.
On the way, Gu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said eagerly: “Fengzhi, Rongrong is still in that brat’s room!”
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also had a helpless look, “Uncle Gu, you saw it too, that girl climbed onto Lu Xiao’s bed all by herself!
This matter cannot be blamed on Lu Xiao…”
Gu Rong also knew he was in the wrong, but thinking of that brat, there was inexplicably a burst of anger in his heart.
“Uncle Gu, we can all see that Rongrong genuinely likes getting along with him.”
“Since Rongrong likes him, and this child Lu Xiao has outstanding talent and a Heart-Nature far surpassing ordinary people, he is definitely not a thing to stay in a pond for long, so let the two children get along well first.”
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he looked at the distant sea of clouds and sighed softly.
