She smacked her lips angrily, her little face showing some grievance.
"I wanted the grass flavor, but Rongrong gave me the grilled fish flavor..."
Zhu Zhuqing's pursed red lips curled up slightly.
"Pfft, haha... I'll give you one then!" Ning Rongrong smiled and pinched another piece of grass-flavored pastry into Xiao Wu's mouth.
Squeak...
The door opened, and the women turned around to see Ye Qiu's figure.
"Ye Qiu!" Zhu Zhuqing stood up happily.
"Ye Qiu, you're finally back!" Ning Rongrong cheered and jumped into his arms.
"Ooh~ Little Thumbs up...cough cough!"
Only Xiao Wu choked on the pastry in her mouth when she tried to get up.
Quickly cover your mouth to stop coughing.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly picked up the juice in front of Xiao Wu, brought it to her lips, and patted her back.
Ye Qiu supported Ning Rongrong's pert buttocks, which were hanging on him.
He sat down next to Zhu Zhuqing, pulled the girl out of his arms, and placed her on his lap.
There was already a string of teeth marks on his face.
"Xiao Wu, are you alright?" Ye Qiu asked with concern, looking at Xiao Wu who was squeezing out tears.
"Cough cough... It's... It's alright!" Xiao Wu rubbed her red eyes and wiped away the tears.
Kneeling on the bed, she looked at Ning Rongrong nestled in Ye Qiu's arms.
He gave a disgruntled hum.
If she hadn't choked, she definitely could have taken the seat.
"By the way, Ye Qiu, how is Senior Brother Qinghe?" Having taken advantage of the situation, Ning Rongrong was also concerned about her father's student.
"Um……"
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, but couldn't find the right words to describe it.
We had no choice but to use Xue Qinghe's own words.
"He's alright, he said... he won't die."
"Pfft... Did you offend him?" Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qiu strangely.
Under normal circumstances, Xue Qinghe would never say such a thing.
"Maybe!"
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly, not wanting to discuss this topic any further.
I glanced around and saw that only Zhu Zhuqing had half a glass of juice left in front of her.
I'm too lazy to pour it again.
They pick it up and gulp it down in one go.
Zhu Zhuqing gave him a shy glare and picked up the container next to her to refill his bottle.
"So, what were you all talking about just now?"
Pressing down Ning Rongrong's writhing waist, Ye Qiu looked at Zhu Zhuqing with some curiosity.
"Zhuqing just told us about her family situation."
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Ye Qiu's eyelids twitched.
Before him lay half a pastry that Xiao Wu had already nibbled on.
Zhu Zhuqing watched this scene, her head lowered as she chuckled to herself.
"Is that so?"
Ye Qiu smiled helplessly and picked up the half-eaten pastry.
He ate slowly and deliberately amidst Ning Rongrong's loud laughter.
At the same time, he also asked questions.
"Zhuqing, can you tell me about the things you said you hadn't finished yet?"
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
She couldn't have accomplished this without Ye Qiu's help.
It would be better to tell Ye Qiu sooner rather than later.
Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts.
I'm pondering where to begin.
After a long pause, she slowly began to speak:
"Actually... I've also been assassinated."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu's smile froze.
Somewhat surprised.
What surprised him was not that Zhu Zhuqing would be assassinated.
After all, given the environment she was in, it's not surprising that this kind of thing happened.
He was curious why Zhu Zhuqing would bring up the fact that she had also been assassinated at this time.
Could this be related to Qian Renxue's assassination attempt?
"What? Zhu Qing, you were also assassinated?"
Xiao Wu, who was on the bed, let out a scream.
He immediately jumped up and was about to attack Zhu Zhuqing's body.
"So are you okay?"
"Xiao Wu, I'm right here, aren't I?!"
Dodging her groping hands, Zhu Zhuqing was both amused and exasperated.
"Uh... I... I was just worried about you."
Xiao Wu also realized what was happening and, amidst Ning Rongrong's giggles, reluctantly sat back down.
"Is Zhu Qing someone from Davis's faction, or your sister?"
Ye Qiu's eyes held a dangerous glint.
No matter who it is, he will make sure to avenge Zhu Zhuqing!
"neither!"
Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head, her voice sounding somewhat trembling.
"Neither?!" Ning Rongrong looked at her strangely.
Ye Qiu's expression also became much more serious.
"Zhuqing, could you tell me more specifically?"
"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and began to explain the matter in detail.
"It happened right when I received my third spirit ring! Right in front of my house..."
"That day, I returned from my soul hunt and was about to step into my home when I was ambushed from behind—another hidden arrow!"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish speaking, she looked at Ye Qiu tenderly, her eyes filled with deep relief.
"If it weren't for the Shadow Spider Spears behind me, which blocked most of the attack, I might have died on the spot!"
"At my doorstep?" Ye Qiu's expression was somewhat gloomy.
I never expected Zhu Zhuqing to have such an experience.
Furthermore, the location of this assassination attempt unexpectedly overlapped somewhat with Qian Renxue's previous attempt.
"Then how did you rule out that it wasn't Davis and your sister who did it, Zhu Qing?"
Ning Rongrong also had some doubts.
Can this alone eliminate the suspicion of those two competitors?
Xiao Wu didn't understand this topic very well, so she listened quietly.
"Because although our competition is fierce, such assassinations are strictly prohibited!"
"In other words, even if they really wanted to kill me, they should have done it secretly, not in public!"
Ye Qiu nodded.
If assassination is possible, then this kind of competition seems somewhat meaningless.
Just throw money at the problem and hire someone to kill someone.
