Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Dai Mubai Takes the Initiative to Make Amends, Has Brother Xu Become Depressed?
```
"Brother Xu, why are you sitting here all alone looking so glum?" Dai Mubai approached Xu Ran with a smile, as if there were no grievances between them, but rather like old friends who had known each other for years.
At this moment, in Dai Mubai's eyes, Xu Ran stood there alone, gaze fixed on a spot not far away, looking so solitary. He knew this was due to him, Dai Mubai. As Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, when Zhu Qing arrived, Xu Ran naturally could only watch her from afar, and this was precisely the pain in Xu Ran's heart.
"Dai Mubai? What are you doing here?" Xu Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at the beaming Dai Mubai in front of him with some confusion. He didn't understand why Dai Mubai seemed so happy—could it be that Dai Mubai had that kind of fetish? His fiancée ran off with someone else, and he's still so cheerful.
Xu Ran could only think that this guy must really be talented.
However, since Dai Mubai came to him with a fawning smile, Xu Ran felt it wouldn't be right to say anything harsh, but he did want to hear what Dai Mubai had to say.
"Brother Xu, I was wrong about last time. Let's consider it a case of 'no fight, no acquaintance.'
"..."
"By the way, Brother Xu, is your mood not quite right? Sitting here all by yourself," Dai Mubai said, looking at Xu Ran with a half-mocking smile, trying to make conversation while wearing a grin that he couldn't suppress.
Was Xu Ran feeling dejected?
He enjoyed seeing Xu Ran wear such an expression of dejection.
Zhu Qing was his, Dai Mubai's, fiancée, and this time Zhu Qing came to find him, with Xu Ran even personally accompanying her to Shrek Academy. How could Xu Ran not feel dejected?
He could even picture it: Zhu Zhuqing stubbornly wanting to come to Shrek Academy to find him, her fiancé, and Xu Ran naturally tried to prevent her in every possible way. In the end, overwhelmed by Zhu Zhuqing's persistence, Xu Ran was forced to come to Shrek Academy with her.
That was the sad part of Xu Ran's predicament.
Whom else to like but his, Dai Mubai's, fiancée? Feeling the heartache now, huh?
Xu Ran was momentarily stunned as he watched Dai Mubai speak his mind, unsure of what to reply. The reason he felt somewhat depressed was because Zhu Qing was living with Xiaowu, which reduced his opportunities for deep communication with Zhu Qing. What else could it be?
Could it be that Dai Mubai thought Zhu Zhuqing had come to find him? But it wasn't far from the truth; she had come especially to say goodbye to him. Only the meaning was entirely different.
"Brother Xu, heed my advice, when it's time to let go, one must let go. As humans, who hasn't encountered setbacks? We need to face these setbacks bravely. As a man, whatever happens, you have to be able to bear it," Dai Mubai advised, looking at Xu Ran, who continued to keep silent, which made him somewhat concerned.
Now, he hadn't done anything yet, and Xu Ran was already so distressed, hurt. What kind of expression would Xu Ran wear when he and Zhu Qing mended their relationship, embraced each other? In the future, seeing each other day in and day out at the same academy, if he and Zhu Zhuqing were to cuddle and whisper sweet nothings to each other, wouldn't that just kill Xu Ran?
Moreover, he and Zhu Qing also had a Soul Fusion Skill. How wonderful would it be to be close together with Zhu Zhuqing, unleashing the Soul Fusion Skill? Zhu Qing had such a good figure, firm and shapely buttocks, and as he held her from behind, he may even feel it. All of these could make Xu Ran so angry he could spit blood.
"Well, you're right, a man should be able to shoulder anything," Xu Ran glanced at Dai Mubai and walked away. He had understood what Dai Mubai meant—Dai Mubai probably still thought that Zhu Zhuqing had come especially for him. So he deliberately showed off in front of Xu Ran, feigning kindness but with mockery laced in his words.
At that, Xu Ran could only respond with a wry smile and no comment.
It probably hadn't dawned on Dai Mubai yet, the nature of his relationship with Zhu Qing. Tonight, Zhu Qing had even promised to cheer him up.
Xu Ran could only describe Dai Mubai with the words 'speechless.' If you don't have the skills, don't try to show off like others. It'll be painful when you get slapped in the face.
But right now, Dai Mubai was unaware of Xu Ran's disdain for him. Seeing Xu Ran walk away, he thought he had touched a sore spot and got even more excited. Tonight, he would go find Zhu Qing, shouting her name loudly, and then let Xu Ran hear it.
No matter how strong Xu Ran's power was, he wanted to make Xu Ran live uncomfortably. The humiliation Xu Ran had inflicted on him last time still echoed in his mind occasionally, stabbing deeply at his dignity. Just as Xu Ran treated him back then, he would now return the favor, little by little.
...
When Zhu Zhuqing and Xiaowu returned, the sky was already very late. After all, girls shopping, those who know will understand—it wasn't for the late hour, they might have continued shopping endlessly.
"Zhu Qing, your figure is really great. Xu Ran must really like it," Xiaowu said, linking arms with Zhu Zhuqing.
"Xiaowu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Zhuqing blushed and gave Xiaowu a glare. Having bonded during their half-day shopping spree, their relationship had already improved significantly. After all, it's easy to get along with someone who shares common interests, and their common interest was Xu Ran.
She didn't know how Zhu Zhuqing managed to develop such a good figure when she was actually a few months older than Zhu Qing.
"Ah, Xiaowu, you're so naughty," Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed softly, looking annoyed.
"But your figure is great too. Such long legs," Zhu Zhuqing pouted and glanced at Xiaowu's legs wrapped tightly in liquid stockings. Xiaowu's legs were very long; her one meter six-odd stature was mostly legs. This was something Zhu Zhuqing was rather envious of.
She knew that legs are also part of the figure. Xiaowu's leg shape was so perfect, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't noticed until now when she wore stockings, even she felt envious.
"Hehe, I can't let you have everything, Zhu Qing. And your legs are long too, so fleshy and nice," Xiaowu chuckled, admiring Zhu Zhuqing's round, well-shaped legs clad in leather pants, thinking they didn't compare poorly to her own.
"Shh, let's not talk about it anymore. We're almost at the academy. It wouldn't be good for others to hear this," Zhu Zhuqing cut off their conversation. Girls' private conversations shouldn't be overheard by others.
