Chapter 24: The Princess Disease Patient

Rongrong was thoroughly angered by Yi Zhen's words; how dare he call her an ignorant person? She was a top student in the sprint class, so how could ignorance possibly apply to her? This was pure slander. Moreover, this was the first time she had encountered someone insulting others without using foul language. She wanted to retort, yet no words formed in her mind; aside from staring blankly, she could spit out nothing. In that case, changing the topic and seizing the initiative in the conversation was the way to go. Once she held the initiative, mocking him back would be entirely up to her.

Hmph! You call me ignorant and say I'm hard to communicate with? I think it's you who can't speak and lack manners, which is why you act so brazen. Anyway, I simply look down on you.

Just now, it definitely wasn't her fault. How could a little fairy do anything wrong? It was this man who insisted on running blindly around the teaching building, lacking even basic decency. And that stench clinging to him—who knows where it came from? If she were leaving, she wouldn't walk past him anyway, because that smell was simply too overwhelming.

Although she couldn't confirm where it came from, it was definitely related to the man in front of her. Anyway, he wasn't polite to her, so there was no need for her to be polite either.

If someone respects me an inch, I respect them a foot. Since you want to push your luck, I don't mind crushing you. Hmph! It's you, that stinky man, who forced me into this. Just you wait!

"Oh? Are you very impressive?"

Yi Zhen asked casually, his hands never stopping. He picked up the mat that had fallen aside and, within just a few seconds, rolled it up again.

As for the wall it stained, one could say it had already been contaminated. Yi Zhen could think of nothing but hiring someone to repaint it; there was simply no other way. So this would have to be temporarily set aside. Later, he would need to report it to the homeroom teacher to avoid being discovered and then forced to admit it, which would result in disciplinary action.

Besides, he was a poor student, so privileges were hard to guarantee. Perhaps this tribulation would be a bit difficult to survive. He should have known better than to hide. Anyway, this woman wanted to be reborn sooner rather than later; he might as well fulfill her wish.

"Of course, I am... hmm? What? Does the tone of your voice suggest you want to compete?"

When she first heard Yi Zhen's reply, she hadn't thought much of it, but that tone felt somehow off no matter how she pondered it. Then, upon reflection, damn, he was mocking her. She decided not to specify which class she was the top student of, saving him from adding fuel to the fire and accusing her of bragging.

That would only make her angrier. So, did the other party actually want to compete? She didn't mind. It would also help curb the other party's sharpness. How dare he speak to her like that? Not striking a blow to his confidence would be unworthy of her status as a top student.

"Forget the competition; I don't have time!"

Yi Zhen originally wanted to deliver a poisonous remark, but since she was a girl, and considering he had very little contact with females, it was better to interact less. This one clearly wasn't a good person. He should ignore her and accept no requests or conditions, part ways, and then find an opportunity later to retaliate, at which point they could officially call it even.

"Then just apologize to me directly, and I, being a grown-up, won't hold a grudge against a small person like you. I won't bother with you anymore."

Yi Zhen's unwillingness to pay attention didn't mean Rongrong would give up. This grudge was basically settled. If she didn't resolve it quickly, she would surely be driven crazy. Most importantly, she suspected the boy in front of her was doing this just to attract her attention and then start pursuing her. Although such weirdos weren't common, they weren't non-existent either. Hadn't she seen this kind of plot in TV dramas?

In that case, resolving it early would prevent future troubles; that was her most genuine thought. She quickly typed a line of text on her phone and sent it. Actually, she was also a bit worried about what Xiaoting had said, so she might as well call for backup. At least then she would feel more at ease.

Rongrong: "Xiaoting, come to the small door on the left side of the second floor of the teaching building, near the school gate. Remember to bring pepper spray and a bottle of perfume, otherwise..."

Her message was highly misleading and served to better highlight the severity of the situation. Otherwise, Xiaoting might really only bring those few items, which wasn't what she wanted.

Xiaoting: "Rongrong, what happened?"

Xiaoting: "Rongrong?"

Xiaoting: "Okay, I'm coming right away!"

Seeing Rongrong send another message about something happening, Xiaoting really wanted to understand exactly what had occurred.

Unfortunately, the messages she sent went unanswered like a stone sinking into the sea. With no choice, she grabbed a large amount of equipment and quickly ran toward the elevator. She was indeed treating these matters very seriously, just as Rongrong had thought; without proper preparation, she always felt unsafe.

Fortunately, she had already reserved the equipment. Simply adding a bottle of perfume allowed her to carry it all and set off. She didn't care how heavy it was; as long as it was useful, that was all that mattered.

Hearing her words, Yi Zhen simply glanced up at her and then looked away again. An apology? How could it possibly be him apologizing? Perhaps she was truly spoiled rotten. Why bother paying her any more attention?

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Reply. Just apologize; that's all I ask."

From start to finish, Rongrong never cared much about Yi Zhen's feelings. In her heart, whose feelings mattered most? Of course, her own. She was her own master; outsiders were ultimately just outsiders, not worth caring about. Except for Xiaoting, a simple conversation counted as respect. Did she think he would act all soft and coquettish to her? What was she thinking?

As for the initial sense of urgency, it was temporary; once it passed, it would naturally be forgotten. Anyway, she wasn't hurt. She had even considered showing him some concern, but now he was acting like this. Truly, tsk, men; none of them are good for anything.

"Your father must love you very much. So why not do a paternity test? He should look in the mirror; his hair has turned green just to raise such an excellent child as you. Alright, I won't keep you company, young lady. Please, be my guest."

Yi Zhen spoke slowly, indirectly attacking him while appearing to praise someone else. He had almost finished packing his things and could leave. Moreover, he didn't want to continue interacting with such a woman; every interaction sparked an impulse to beat her up, but he forcibly held it back. Do you know the feeling of clenching his fists repeatedly and then relaxing his entire body again and again? Anyway, he felt it. She was full of the flavor of a shrew; she could directly be awarded the title of "Most Torturing Image Ambassador of the Year." He absolutely raised both hands in agreement, with no objections whatsoever.

"Of course, my dad naturally loves me... Holy crap, stinky man, do you really love playing tricks? Don't go! Stop right there!"

Upon hearing the praise, Rongrong was quite happy at first, but he loved playing word games too much, twisting everything inside and out of his words. This second time caught her completely off guard. Once she realized what was happening, she couldn't hold back; she grabbed her fist and wanted to rush forward to beat him. However, as soon as she stepped in, the stench drove her back. With no choice, she could only shout, hoping he would stop because of her call. Then, after waiting a while, she would receive the spray attack from Xiaoting. Sigh, it was simply perfect...

Unfortunately, how could Yi Zhen listen to this woman's nonsensical rambling? He simply took his things and took a detour. Sigh, oh feet, it's not that I don't want you to take fewer steps; it's truly fate, making things so difficult. Perhaps the initial idea wasn't wrong; it just had better guidance, as if receiving approval. It was truly wonderful.

After soothing his mood, he set foot on his own journey once again, thrice over. Perhaps there were still unknown incidents ahead, but people must always look forward. First, finish this current matter. Whether there are problems or not, his own matters are the biggest and most important.

"Bye-bye, sir. If you can't even withstand this little smell, I think you are truly too pretentious. I look down on you."

As he was leaving, Yi Zhen didn't forget to put on a little show. He had noticed several times that this girl was extremely pretentious. Unlike Mingyang, who transformed at irregular intervals, this one was a true, genuine sufferer of Princess Disease. Regarding people with this condition, one cannot simply indulge them; one must specifically provoke and taunt them. Then, sigh, she can't do anything about you. It's really too exciting, okay?

Alright, he was mixing in personal emotions, but so what? Was there a problem? No problem at all! It is true that this young girl definitely has issues, so there is no need to indulge her. That would just be sticking a warm face to a cold butt, and in the end, you'd just get covered in stench. Disgusting!
