In the afternoon, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two returned to Shrek Academy, while Su Yan mounted a fast horse and headed towards Heaven Dou City.
He was quite skilled at riding now, and after setting off, he immediately sent a private message to Dugu Yan.
Private message.
[Su Yan: Little Wild Goose, do you still want to take a shortcut?]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: ???]
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan sat in the classroom, feeling utterly bewildered.
What?
Are you really going to give me a shortcut?
But...
Dugu Yan hesitated.
Then she replied to Su Yan in the private chat.
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: I think I should know what you look like first before I consider it. What if you're an old man in his seventies or eighties? Then I'd rather not have the reward.]
[Su Yan: Hahaha!!]
[Su Yan: I'm on my way to Heaven Dou City now. I estimate I'll arrive tomorrow morning. You'll know when we meet then.]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: What?]
Dugu Yan was stunned upon hearing this.
Her mind went blank. Su Yan was actually coming to find her! Su Yan was actually coming to find her!
No way?
You're actually going to meet me offline?
Dugu Yan was very excited, but she had a worry: what if Su Yan was an old man in his seventies or eighties?
He wouldn't be older than her grandfather, would he?
Oh my god!
Dugu Yan felt numb just thinking about it.
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: Don't come over... Ah!???]
[Su Yan: Selfie.JPG.]
When Dugu Yan saw Su Yan's selfie, she almost couldn't help but laugh.
Oh my goodness!
How was this an old man?
This was clearly the man of her dreams!
Truly.
That video Ning Rongrong took, she couldn't help but watch it several times every time the night was quiet. Sometimes, it made Ye Lingling curious why her body was hot when she woke up.
[Su Yan: Sigh, if you don't welcome me, then I'll turn back now?]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: No, I mean, hurry up and come over! Hurry up!]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: Are you really coming to find me?]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: I was wondering why Little Princess and Kitty were always bickering. So you're Su Yan, and Su Yan is you, hahaha!!]
Dugu Yan was laughing happily, attracting the attention of everyone in the classroom. They all looked at her with confusion.
Ye Lingling sat beside her, her beautiful eyes gazing at her, wondering! There was no activity in the group chat, so why was Little Wild Goose suddenly so happy?
"Hehe."
Dugu Yan didn't care at all. She patted Ye Lingling and said, "Come on, let's go out. I have something very happy to tell you."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and followed Dugu Yan out of the classroom.
"Little Wild Goose, what makes you so happy?" Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan walked out into the academy's forest, her face full of confusion.
Dugu Yan replied cheerfully:
"It's a... a very important person who's coming to find me tomorrow."
Dugu Yan's lips curved upwards, and the joy of happiness on her face made Ye Lingling feel as if she saw three words—love-struck.
Ye Lingling felt a strange sensation in her heart. Could it be Su Yan?
After all, besides Su Yan in the group chat, could anyone else make Little Wild Goose so suddenly happy?
"Who is it?"
Ye Lingling asked.
Just as Dugu Yan was about to speak, she remembered the electric shock she received the first time she got the chat group and tried to tell her grandfather. She could only reply:
"A very mysterious person. I can't tell you the specifics. You can accompany me to the academy gate to pick him up tomorrow."
Ye Lingling nodded.
Then Dugu Yan immediately regretted it.
Private message.
[Su Yan: Don't you have a good friend named Ye Lingling? Remember to bring her along tomorrow. I want to get to know her.]
Dugu Yan's face instantly filled with question marks.
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: ???]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: You're looking for me, it wouldn't be to use me to get close to Lingling, would it?]
After sending the message, Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling with a complicated expression.
How could this quiet friend of hers make Su Yan specifically ask to see her?
[Su Yan: Of course not. This time I'm looking for you, first, because I want to see you, and then to help you and your grandfather, Dugu Bo.]
[Su Yan: We'll talk about the specifics when we meet tomorrow. I'll go directly to the South Gate of Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow. Remember to bring Ye Lingling out to meet me.]
[Yanzi Is Not Swallow: ...]
Dugu Yan pouted, feeling that something wasn't quite right.
"Lingling."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly, looking at Dugu Yan with a puzzled expression.
Dugu Yan then asked directly:
"Will you steal my man?"
"Ah?"
A bunch of question marks appeared in Ye Lingling's mind. "Little Wild Goose, what are you talking about?"
Dugu Yan pouted, thought for a moment, and then pulled Ye Lingling, reminding her:
"The person who's coming to find me tomorrow is very handsome, but you absolutely must not fall for him, because he seems to already have a girlfriend."
"And this man is very fickle, the kind who likes to have many wives and concubines. With your personality, you definitely won't be able to handle him, so you absolutely must not get yourself entangled."
Ye Lingling: ???
Ye Lingling nodded thoughtfully, already guessing something, and immediately sent a private message to Su Yan in her mind.
[Group Member Number Nine: You're arriving in Heaven Dou City tomorrow, right?]
[Su Yan: ???]
[Su Yan: You're Ye Lingling?]
Outside Suotuo City.
Su Yan, riding his horse, saw Group Member Number Nine's private message and was amused.
Based on Group Member Number Nine's previous statements, she had always been lurking by someone's side, and the other party hadn't noticed.
Su Yan had guessed at the time that this person might be Ye Lingling... and it really was her!
Dugu Yan must have told her something just now, and she immediately guessed that Su Yan was coming to Heaven Dou City to find Dugu Yan.
[Group Member Number Nine: Be careful on the road. We'll meet you at the gate of Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow morning.]
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with a half-smile, which made Dugu Yan look confused, always feeling that something was not quite right.
"Lingling?"
"Hmm?"
Ye Lingling smiled faintly at Dugu Yan, who then thought seriously, "I suddenly realized that you've changed a bit these past few days."
"You've started to smile more."
"Oh!"
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and replied earnestly, "Probably so. After all, we've both reached the age where we need to find boyfriends. If our personalities don't change, we won't find one."
"Ah?"
"You, you, you..."
Dugu Yan was shocked to hear this. "Ye Lingling, I've decided not to let you pick him up with me tomorrow. You've actually started to feel the stirrings of love. What should I do!"
...Shrek Academy.
Tang San slowly woke up and saw Oscar sitting in the room, idly playing with small toys.
"You're Oscar?"
"Xiao Wu... where's Xiao Wu?"
Oscar heard Tang San's voice, turned his head, and said:
"Tang San, you're awake."
"Xiao Wu and the others went shopping in Suotuo City with Su Yan."
"Hmm?"
Tang San suddenly sat up, his eyes showing anger.
You, Su Yan, the jungler!
I, Tang San, fought to the death and fainted, and you actually took Xiao Wu shopping and playing around at this time?
How outrageous!
You have invited death!
So irritating.
Tang San was even starting to suspect that Su Yan, that bastard, deliberately incited him to fight desperately so that he could take the opportunity to be intimate with Xiao Wu.
Damn it.
Thinking of this, Tang San's body almost recovered from anger.
Son of a bitch.
He had fallen for his trick again.
Oscar also immediately produced a Sausage and handed it over, saying, "Eat a few more Sausages now that you're awake. It will help you recover."
"Ugh~"
Tang San saw the Big Sausage and immediately vomited bitter water.
Now he wasn't disgusted by Oscar's spirit incantation, but by the deep throat injury Su Yan had given him!
Su Yan, how can I ever heal from the harm you've caused me!
