Chapter 139: I Am Your Fiancée

Her long ponytail hung almost to the bend of her knees, and the pale gray stockings and high heels transformed the previously cute Xiao Wu into a youthful and moving young girl.

If it could be said that Xiao Wu could not compare to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing before, then she was now completely their equal.

"Xiao Wu, I've told you several times, don't use your braid as a weapon anymore, but you keep saying this is the greatest use of a scorpion braid..."

Tang San said speechlessly, "How are you letting it go now?"

"Hee hee, because Brother said it looks good this way," Xiao Wu said, skipping and hopping.

Seeing her now, completely devoid of her previous murderous appearance, Tang San and the others were simply at a loss for words and could only silently give Qin Jian a thumbs-up in their hearts.

"Rongrong..."

As soon as Qin Jian opened his mouth, Ning Rongrong said with lowered brows and a submissive look, "Mm... I'll go with you..."

Everyone: "..."

"Rongrong..."

Walking into a corner, Qin Jian called her name softly, then opened his mouth, not knowing what else to say.

Ning Rongrong was truly special to him, so special that he was unwilling to hurt her in the slightest; even though they were nominally separated now, he still could not bring himself to hurt her.

Therefore, even when it came to refusing to stay in the same room, he did not know how to say it.

"Brother Jian, have I caused you trouble..." Ning Rongrong said, lowering her head and twisting her toes.

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "Not at all, Rongrong. No matter what you do, I will never consider it trouble."

"I... I miss you so much..."

Ning Rongrong suddenly looked up, her eyes shimmering with tears.

Having suppressed herself for so long, she could no longer control it, and she suddenly threw herself over, burying herself tightly into Qin Jian's embrace...

"Pfft..."

But the next moment, Qin Jian's whole body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah! What's wrong with you!"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed, hurriedly supporting Qin Jian in a panic.

"Hum!"

His Second Soul Ring was in violent Vibration, appearing as if it might explode at any moment.

"Rongrong... you... cannot hold me..."

Ning Rongrong froze, then slowly released her hands from holding Qin Jian.

Sure enough, after she moved away, Qin Jian's Soul Ring stabilized once more.

"This... what on earth is going on..."

Ning Rongrong's tears came streaming down.

"Don't... don't cry..."

Qin Jian hurriedly took her hand and wiped the tears from her face, saying, "Look, it's fine like this; I just can't be any more intimate with you..."

"Brother Jian, you have a hidden reason for not being able to be with me, right?"

Ning Rongrong suddenly gripped his hand tightly and asked with teary eyes, "You have always liked Rongrong, haven't you?"

Besides nodding, Qin Jian could not say a single word.

"Then... will we have a chance to be together in the future?" Ning Rongrong asked with trembling lips.

"Definitely, as long as I am strong enough!" Qin Jian said.

"How strong? A Title Douluo?" Ning Rongrong pressed.

Qin Jian shook his head slowly and smiled, "Stronger than that..."

Ning Rongrong was stunned, "Then... how could that be possible..."

"Believe in me, I definitely can," Qin Jian said, smoothing her long hair.

"Then you and Shui Bing'er before, and now with Zhu Zhuqing... are they all related to this?" Ning Rongrong asked, looking seriously into his eyes.

She had clearly been keeping track of news about Qin Jian, and had even investigated his relationship with Shui Bing'er clearly.

Qin Jian only nodded.

"Then... will you eventually separate from Zhu Zhuqing as well?" Ning Rongrong continued to press.

Qin Jian continued to nod.

Ning Rongrong did not know what kind of expression she should show.

Should she be glad that she was the first one to be broken up with...

Or sad, yet Qin Jian had not really stayed with the others for long...

"How could you be forced to do this..." Ning Rongrong murmured.

Qin Jian felt a sudden palpitation and hurriedly said, "Rongrong! Don't think about it anymore! This is a rule; I cannot resist it now, nor can I tell you all of this."

Ning Rongrong was startled, then nodded, "Okay, I believe you, Brother Jian, and I will always wait for you."

"But you... you are absolutely forbidden from doing anything more with others than what you've done with me!" she suddenly added.

"Ah? What things?" Qin Jian scratched his head.

"You... you know," Ning Rongrong said, turning her head away with a slightly flushed face.

Seeing her like this, Qin Jian soon realized, "I know, don't worry, I won't."

He touched Ning Rongrong's cheek and said gently, "You are my fiancée; how could I do that kind of thing with someone else first?"

Should... probably not, right?

"Then... then can I not tell them that I am your fiancée?" Ning Rongrong said, lowering her head.

Qin Jian felt a slight tug in his heart and said, "Rongrong... if you want to say it, then say it. It was my own problem to begin with; I don't want you to bear these things with me."

"But I am willing to bear them with you!"

Ning Rongrong suddenly looked up, the expression on her face firm and persistent: "I am your fiancée, the person destined to stand by your side for a lifetime; I will definitely shoulder everything with you!"

Qin Jian's heart... was about to melt...

He could not control the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but take the initiative to pull her into his embrace.

"Don't!"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly pushed Qin Jian away, and sure enough, she saw a trace of blood flowing out from the corner of Qin Jian's mouth again.

"Do you not want your life anymore?!"

She anxiously wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth for him, but it only made Qin Jian's expression even softer.

He suddenly caught Ning Rongrong's small hand near his mouth and smiled: "It's fine, I can still endure it for that split second, and besides, being able to hug my Rongrong makes it worth it..."

Ning Rongrong's eyes instantly became as soft as rippling water...

"Alright, I'll stay in a room with Tang San."

After Qin Jian returned again, the few of them no longer had any disputes over room assignments, and the scene was completely harmonious.

"I want to live alone," Zhu Zhuqing said coldly and aloofly.

Ning Rongrong smiled and pulled Xiao Wu along, saying: "Then I'll just share a room with Xiao Wu."

Watching the few girls walk side by side toward the Girls' Dormitory, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar all turned their heads to look at Qin Jian; that gaze... was hard to describe.

"Qin Jian, right? Why don't you teach me a few tricks? How exactly did you manage to win over those three girls?"

Oscar, with a face full of stubble, leaned in, his eyebrows twitching.

"I have nothing to teach you; the techniques you want are something Dai Mubai is better at. I only offer sincerity and true intent," Qin Jian smiled.

"Qin Jian, are you mocking me?" Dai Mubai's expression turned cold.

"No..."

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "I just respect everyone's nature. What you are good at and what I am good at are completely different, so the girls who are suitable for us are also different... At the very least, I definitely couldn't handle the girls you get involved with."

Dai Mubai's expression looked a bit better.

Qin Jian added: "Actually, I don't think you really care that much about Zhuqing; what you care about is just your own pride as a man, as well as that competition for the throne. You think Zhuqing is your only comrade-in-arms..."
