Even though it was incredibly embarrassing, Xiao Wu kept reading Su Ming's diary, silently praying that he wouldn't reveal too much about what happened that night.
Seeing Xiao Wu so tense, Ning Rongrong finally decided to stop teasing her. Jokes should have their limits, after all—who knew how bad the backlash could be later?
Xiao Wu: Heh, Rongrong, just you wait!
[Diary Entry]
"This morning, as soon as dawn broke, I sent Xiao Wu back to her room. Not long after, there was a knock on my door again."
"I thought it might be Xiao Wu coming back, but when I opened the door, it turned out to be Tang San, here to tell me it was time to gather and head back to the academy."
"At first, I didn't think much of it—this was around the time we needed to leave—but then I noticed Tang San kept sneaking glances into my room. That definitely seemed suspicious."
"Tang San's little actions didn't escape my notice. After all, my mental perception is pretty sharp these days!"
The other women reading the diary began to suspect that Tang San might have overheard something from the previous night.
Xiao Wu's heart started racing. She had left Su Ming's room in a bit of a mess—there were water stains everywhere. Oh no...
"Luckily, after Xiao Wu left, I cleaned up the room, tidied everything up, and mopped the floor. Otherwise, Tang San definitely would've noticed something."
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine to be embarrassed in the diary, but if Tang San had found out in real life, it would've been a disaster! Especially since she found him so annoying. That would've been unbearable.
"Tang San must have heard something last night, which is why he was so curious. Maybe the hotel's soundproofing wasn't great, and he overheard noises? After all, Tang San was in the room next to mine."
"Although I did add a mental barrier later, I forgot to set it up at the beginning."
Xiao Wu was speechless. How could Su Ming forget something that important!
"Luckily, Tang San didn't notice anything odd. Seeing him so curious actually made me feel a bit smug. This time, it seems like Xiao Wu is truly out of his grasp. I'm not sure why, but in this parallel world, Xiao Wu seems to really dislike Tang San."
The other women thought to themselves: It's not just Xiao Wu who dislikes Tang San. After reading your diary all this time, we've all come to dislike him. So what if he has twin martial souls? His personality and morals are just... bad. Keeping someone like that around is dangerous.
"Once Tang San didn't find any clues, he seemed to push aside his doubts and went off to wake up the others so we could head back to the academy."
"After returning to the academy, I immediately took Rongrong to train in Ling Bo Wei Bu. The sooner she masters it, the better for her—and then I won't have to work so hard."
"After all, I didn't sleep a wink last night, and today I spent the whole day training with Rongrong. I'm feeling pretty exhausted, both mentally and physically."
Upon reading this, Ning Rongrong felt a twinge of guilt. Su Ming had gone through so much effort for her. Maybe tomorrow, she'd suggest taking it easier on him.
But then Su Ming's next entry completely shocked her.
"But somehow, it feels like a good kind of exhaustion. A part of me hopes Rongrong will master Ling Bo Wei Bu quickly, but another part hopes the training drags on. Am I starting to enjoy this? Am I a bit of a masochist?"
"Why is it both painful and enjoyable, you ask? Well, if I want Rongrong to learn faster, I need to demonstrate the technique often—and that's not enough. I also have to guide her hands-on, which inevitably leads to physical contact."
"And when we touch, I can't help but notice—Rongrong has a faint, pleasant fragrance. And her body feels so soft. It's a different kind of softness compared to Xiao Wu's."
"Since Xiao Wu is a battle soul master, her muscles are a bit more toned, while Rongrong, as a support soul master, feels even softer."
"Huh, even as I write this, I feel like I'm being a bit perverted. I sound so sleazy, jumping between thoughts of one girl and then the other. I'm shameless!"
The other women: No surprise here. We've known you were a pervert for a long time.
Ning Rongrong couldn't believe her eyes. Su Ming had written everything about their training today in such detail, and she felt like she had just shot herself in the foot!
She had been so focused on teasing Xiao Wu earlier, thinking Su Ming might mention his night with Xiao Wu, but she hadn't realized he'd go into such detail about his day with her!
She had underestimated him. Now she felt her face burning. If she looked in a mirror, her cheeks would probably be red enough to drip blood.
Though she often teased Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong herself had a pretty thin skin. Now it was her turn to face the consequences, and it felt like social suicide!
Stare~~
Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She turned around slowly and saw Xiao Wu staring at her.
The look on Xiao Wu's face clearly said: Rongrong, care to explain yourself?
Zhu Zhuqing glanced between Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu and shook her head. It seemed like karma had finally caught up with Rongrong, and it hadn't taken long.
Ning Rongrong knew she was in the wrong and sheepishly smiled. "Uh, Xiao Wu, nothing happened between me and Su Ming! It's just that we spent the whole day training, and..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Wu cut her off. "Alright, alright, Rongrong. I let you two be alone together because I was giving you the opportunity. If nothing had happened between you two, that would've been the strange part."
"Now that Su Ming has written everything down, you should understand how I felt. How does it feel to be socially humiliated?"
"Hahaha!"
This time, it was Xiao Wu's turn to laugh at Ning Rongrong's bright red face. She had to get revenge for all the teasing she had endured!
As the saying goes, "A gentleman doesn't seek revenge overnight." Though Xiao Wu wasn't exactly a gentleman, the saying still applied.
"Come on, spill it. What exactly did you and Su Ming do today? Be honest! It's my turn to tease you now!"
