Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Zhu Zhuqing Misunderstands That She Is Getting Married, and She and Chen Feng Arrive Together at the Rose Hotel
Not far ahead, there was an inn where the two decided to stay.
He gently set Zhu Zhuqing down from his back.
He hadn't noticed earlier due to the tension of the battle.
When Chen Feng's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing again, his heart skipped a beat.
Zhu Zhuqing's black tight-fitting outfit had actually torn open a long slit at the chest.
It revealed a large area of dazzling white.
So large, so white.
Chen Feng's gaze involuntarily lingered on it for a few seconds.
He quickly regained his senses, shifted his gaze away, and silently chanted "do not gaze at what is improper."
Noticing Chen Feng staring at her, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback at first, wondering what he was looking at.
Her eyes followed his gaze down and saw her...
In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed crimson, and her heart involuntarily raced.
She couldn't help but curse inwardly, feeling a wave of embarrassment.
[Ding, detected Zhu Zhuqing experiencing embarrassment, emotional value +100.]
However, after that embarrassment, another subtle emotion arose in her heart.
Although Chen Feng's gaze made her feel embarrassed, it also seemed to express a kind of affection for her.
In the past, Zhu Zhuqing always thought that some characteristics of her figure were a burden, and at times even felt like a nuisance.
But at this moment, in the appreciation that Chen Feng unintentionally revealed, she suddenly had a different feeling.
If this is indeed what Chen Feng likes about her, then perhaps... it's not so terrible.
Despite this change in her heart, the girl's shyness still made Zhu Zhuqing instinctively cover the torn area with her hand, trying to conceal the embarrassing reveal.
But it was simply too big to cover up.
Fortunately, Chen Feng finally turned his gaze away.
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a secret sigh of relief.
What would she do if Chen Feng kept looking?
What if there were further actions?
Should she resist?
If she didn't resist, would it seem too unreserved?
Although she was somewhat secretly looking forward to that moment.
However, it seemed a bit too fast for her.
She needed some time to adjust.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought, Chen Feng spoke up.
"I don't know, what are your plans for the future?"
"I want to go to Shrek Academy. What about you?"
Shrek Academy?
Chen Feng remembered that this year was the year of the storyline.
Originally, he hadn't decided where to go.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing say this,
he inadvertently blurted out.
"I want to go too."
"Then how about we go together?"
Chen Feng didn't hear Zhu Zhuqing clearly and misheard "go together" as "get married," and he widened his eyes in shock.
"Get married? Isn't that too fast?"
"Not get married, it's go together."
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks turned slightly red, and she quickly corrected Chen Feng's misunderstanding.
However, her heart raced, and that faint blush seemed to reflect the secret thoughts in her heart.
Could it be that Chen Feng's misunderstanding was not a slip of the tongue, but a test?
A sweet fantasy couldn't help but cross Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
If they could get married, that would be quite nice.
Let's wait for a while before discussing it.
[Ding, detected that Zhu Zhuqing has produced feelings of embarrassment, emotion value +300]
After half a month of rest,
Zhu Zhuqing's body, which had been injured in battle, finally regained its former lightness and vitality.
During this time, they shared their pasts and dreams with each other.
Accompanying each other in the morning dew and the evening glow enhanced their understanding of one another.
Of course, don't get the wrong idea.
It's not that kind of understanding where you know my depths and I know your shallows.
The two embarked on their journey to Shrek Academy.
As the last trace of sunset gradually disappeared into the horizon, Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing arrived in front of a uniquely designed hotel.
The hotel stood three stories high, and in the dimming light, it resembled a Danxia-colored rose blooming in the sunset, gathering the light of the day.
The patterned carvings on the walls were arranged irregularly, layer upon layer, resembling petals gently swaying in the night breeze, giving the entire building a poetic and romantic feel.
It looked like a couples' hotel.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit nervous, her heart racing like a little deer.
She took a deep breath.
She secretly made up her mind.
"How about it, Brother Xiaofeng, let's stay here tonight."
"Sure."
Chen Feng nodded.
He thought to himself, how coincidental that they ended up at this well-known Rose Hotel.
In the original story, Tang San and Dai Mubai had fought here.
This time, it seemed it was his turn to have a fight with Dai Mubai.
Just right, a good opportunity to test his skills.
"Could you please give us two rooms?"
"I'm sorry, sir, but there is only one room available now."
The waiter had a knowing look in his eyes, and Chen Feng immediately understood.
Of course, he also wanted one room, but...
"Brother Xiaofeng, one room is fine."
"At worst, we can squeeze together."
"We can save some money too."
Zhu Zhuqing beside him was quite open-minded about it.
Just as the waiter was about to introduce the benefits of this suite, a male voice came from the stairs.
"Wait!"
Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing turned to look.
They saw Dai Mubai walking down the stairs, flanked by two rather beautiful twins.
Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, a look of surprise flashed across Dai Mubai's face, and his eyes widened in shock.
"Zhuqing, what are you doing here?"
His voice was mixed with surprise and an undeniable panic, making him seem somewhat flustered.
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils slightly contracted as her gaze fixed on the twins that Dai Mubai was embracing, her face appearing increasingly pale under the light.
[Ding, detected that Zhu Zhuqing is experiencing anger, emotional value +200]
Previously, she had heard whispers at the grand banquet of the Star Luo Empire's royal palace about how Dai Mubai played with women.
At that time, Zhu Zhuqing was half-believing, thinking those were just the jealous remarks of bored individuals.
But now, she was witnessing it firsthand.
All of this left Zhu Zhuqing feeling somewhat dazed.
She could hardly remember why she had come to the Barak Kingdom in the first place.
Why had she come to this remote little place?
At this moment, she felt utterly like a clown.
Clearly, others had already abandoned her, yet she had chased after them, nearly dying along the way.
And the other party had long forgotten her.
In an environment full of beautiful women, he was living carefree and enjoying himself.
Dai Mubai noticed Zhu Zhuqing's frosty gaze moving between him and the twin sisters.
He quickly released his embrace.
"Zhuqing, let me explain; it's not as you imagine."
He reached out his hand towards Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder.
However, his hand was swatted away.
Dai Mubai looked at Chen Feng, who swatted his hand away, with an unfriendly gaze and asked Zhu Zhuqing.
"Who is the man next to you?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
"I'm your fiancé; how can it not be related!"
Dai Mubai said loudly.
"Heh, what about those two twins?"
"Well…"
Dai Mubai was momentarily at a loss for words.
[Ding, detected that Dai Mubai is experiencing feelings of shame, emotional value +50]
"I heard before that you are a womanizer, but I didn't believe it at the time."
"I naively thought that this was just slander from others against you."
"Now I know, I was indeed naive."
"Too foolish, too naive."
"Was what others said slander?"
"Not at all."
"You not only play with women, but you also do it quite flamboyantly."
Zhu Zhuqing's words struck deep in Dai Mubai's heart, yet they were facts.
"Let me explain."
"After all, I am your fiancé."
"You can't just because of this small mistake…"
Dai Mubai thought that he had only made a small mistake and that he could just sweet-talk her, after all, she was a woman.
