======
After a series of assurances, Ma Xiaotao managed to calm herself.
Letting out a soft sigh and looking at the distant Su Yu, Ma Xiaotao jogged to catch up.
"Hey, where exactly do you want to go?"
Ma Xiaotao's tone was a bit sharp, her pink eyes glaring at Su Yu.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Su Yu's snow-white hair swayed gently in the breeze.
"I just finished eating, so I'm taking a walk. No particular destination."
Su Yu said casually, his demeanor relaxed and carefree.
Ma Xiaotao paused for a moment. It was the first time she had seen this laid-back side of Su Yu.
How to put it? He seemed less proud and aloof, and a bit more approachable.
Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips. She had to admit that Su Yu, in this state, was quite attractive.
"Anyway, my task is to stick with you. Go wherever you like."
Ma Xiaotao retorted stiffly.
Su Yu chuckled faintly but didn't look at her. He strolled through Shrek Academy.
After leaving the cafeteria, the two walked along the path beside Sea God Lake.
The lake's water was exceptionally clear, and the heavy moisture carried by the cool breeze brought a refreshing sense of tranquility.
Although Sea God Lake was artificial, its design was undeniably beautiful.
The lake was surrounded by lush green trees, and its waters shone a deep azure, resembling a smooth, precious mirror.
Walking around the lakeside after a meal was undoubtedly a pleasant experience.
By this time, it was nearly 11:30 a.m., the end of morning classes.
On the main path, students in various colored uniforms streamed out, heading towards the cafeteria.
Shrek Academy's uniforms came in five colors: white, yellow, purple, black, and red.
White, yellow, purple, and black represented outer court students, while red signified inner court students.
Ma Xiaotao's fiery red uniform and Su Yu's sleek silver-white outfit made them both stand out significantly.
Adding Ma Xiaotao's striking figure and Su Yu's extraordinary looks and demeanor, they naturally drew the attention of passing students, even those in a hurry for lunch.
Su Yu's gaze swept across the crowd, the corners of his lips curling into a faint smile.
Suddenly, a soft, joyful voice caught his attention. Su Yu couldn't help but turn his head.
In the distance, about a hundred meters away, a petite girl was waving at him.
She wore her hair in twin ponytails and looked youthful, lively, and adorably playful.
In Shrek's outer court, few people knew Su Yu, and even fewer would actively greet him.
Naturally, it was none other than Xiao Xiao, whom he had met before.
He had spent a few days with Xiao Xiao and shared a good rapport.
Being someone with a penchant for good looks, Xiao Xiao had a particularly favorable impression of Su Yu.
Xiao Xiao was hurrying over, and as the crowd parted, Su Yu noticed she was holding the hand of another girl.
When Su Yu saw the girl, his pupils contracted, and his body stiffened.
This girl was about 1.75 meters tall, with a slender waist and long legs.
Though her figure wasn't as exaggerated as Ma Xiaotao's, she could still be described as budding and delicate.
Her light pink-blue hair draped over her shoulders, her features were exquisite and flawless, and her demeanor was radiant and cheerful.
She was wearing a purple outer-court uniform, just like Xiao Xiao, but her poise and beauty far outshone Xiao Xiao's.
Even with Su Yu's extensive experience with beautiful women, only Gu Yuena and Snow Empress could rival her beauty.
But that wasn't the most important part. The key was her face—one so familiar that Su Yu could effortlessly recall every detail.
Wang Dong'er!
"Su Yu!"
In mere moments, Xiao Xiao had brought Wang Dong'er over to Su Yu.
Xiao Xiao's face was beaming with joy, her large, watery eyes sparkling brightly.
"Su Yu, have you eaten yet? Let's go eat together!"
Xiao Xiao extended an invitation, her clear eyes fixed intently on him.
Su Yu smiled faintly and replied, "I've already eaten."
"Ah~"
Xiao Xiao sounded a bit disappointed but quickly perked up again.
"Then how about we have dinner together tonight?"
Su Yu chuckled softly. "Sure."
He didn't decline. He had a pretty good impression of Xiao Xiao.
She was lively, adorable, cheerful, and sunny—very different from most Shrek students.
Her talent wasn't bad either; as a twin martial soul wielder, she was bound to reach Super Douluo at the very least.
"Then it's settled! No backing out!"
Xiao Xiao said quickly, as if worried he might change his mind.
"Of course."
Su Yu smiled and then turned his attention to Wang Dong'er beside Xiao Xiao.
As he examined her familiar and stunning features, Su Yu said with amusement, "Young lady, have we met before?"
Before Wang Dong'er could respond, Xiao Xiao interjected, "Su Yu, come on, not again! Do you say this to every pretty girl you meet?"
Previously, Su Yu had said the same thing to Zhang Lexuan.
And now he was saying it again. Even Xiao Xiao couldn't help but tease him.
She pouted, puffing up her cheeks like a little angry pufferfish.
Su Yu smiled wryly. "This time, I'm not joking. Young lady, you look familiar."
He stepped closer, reducing the distance between them to just one meter. He could even catch a faint whiff of her unique fragrance.
Noticing the flicker of nervousness in her eyes, Su Yu smirked slightly.
"Young lady, have we met before?"
Wang Dong'er seemed a little flustered and responded with mild annoyance, "Who's met you? Why are you standing so close? What a scoundrel!"
Her voice was crisp and melodious, like the singing of a lark.
She stepped back several paces, as if genuinely resistant to Su Yu's proximity.
Su Yu blinked in surprise, then smiled with faint intrigue.
"Su Yu, look at you. You scared her! This isn't how you approach someone!"
Xiao Xiao folded her arms, grumbling in mild dissatisfaction.
She was a bit annoyed. She was cute too! Why did Su Yu always seem more interested in others?
Su Yu laughed nonchalantly. "What's her name?"
Xiao Xiao looked skeptical. "Why are you asking for her name?"
Su Yu smiled faintly. "Maybe I did mistake her for someone else."
"When I saw her, I immediately thought of my roommate. I even wondered if my roommate had secretly been a girl all along."
"Thinking about it now, maybe I'm overthinking things.
Or maybe… my roommate was… her little brother."
Su Yu deliberately emphasized the word little brother, his gaze meaningful.
Wang Dong'er's heart skipped a beat. Did he figure it out?
No way—impossible!
I've disguised myself so well. How could he know?
If he truly knew, would I still need to go through all this trouble?
He's just clueless!
Hmph!
Wang Dong'er snorted softly, a hint of indignation in her heart.
"What roommate, what little brother? What nonsense are you even talking about?"
Xiao Xiao was thoroughly confused, unable to make sense of Su Yu's words.
At that moment, Wang Dong'er suddenly spoke up. "Maybe he's talking about my twin brother. Yes, I do have a twin brother named Wang Dong. He looks very similar to me."
Su Yu found this amusing. First creating a nonexistent sister, now conjuring up a twin brother. Classic move!
"You have a twin brother?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised. "How come you never mentioned this before?"
Wang Dong'er lowered her gaze slightly and said, "My younger brother attends the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. I didn't want to cause any misunderstandings, so I never brought it up."
"But now that he's brought it up, I can't keep it hidden any longer."
She turned to Su Yu and added, "So, you're Su Yu, right? Originally, I didn't know who you were. But when you mentioned my younger brother, Wang Dong, it jogged my memory."
"Wang Dong once told me he wanted to introduce his roommate to me. He praised you to the heavens, saying you were extraordinarily talented and one of a kind."
"I was quite curious at the time, but now that I've met you, I'm honestly a little disappointed. Sure, you're good-looking, but you're just a flirt."
Wang Dong'er wrinkled her delicate nose, putting on a look of disdain.
Su Yu's lips twitched slightly. Silly butterfly, you're getting into this, huh?
Standing nearby, Xiao Xiao gaped in astonishment. "There's this kind of connection between you two?"
She truly hadn't expected this. She had casually dragged Wang Dong'er over, never imagining there would be such a complicated backstory between Su Yu and her.
For a moment, Xiao Xiao felt a little wary. Could these two end up hitting it off?
But almost immediately, Xiao Xiao dismissed the thought. Wang Dong'er had just called Su Yu a flirt, so there was no way they'd be a couple.
It wasn't that Xiao Xiao was head over heels for Su Yu, but with such a handsome guy, she instinctively preferred him to remain single. A crush-worthy figure is always more appealing when unattached, much like how guys tend to wish their dream girl didn't have a boyfriend.
"Yes, it's all thanks to my younger brother, Wang Dong, and his lousy idea," Wang Dong'er added with a slight nod.
Su Yu: "..."
This silly butterfly is something else. Ruthless enough to insult even herself.
Though inwardly speechless, Su Yu didn't mind playing along. "It was a lousy idea. Wang Dong is always up to something nonsensical, like a total fool."
If you want to curse, fine, let's add a little more flair. Make it worth the effort.
Wang Dong'er froze, glaring at Su Yu with a hint of gritted teeth. But given her current identity, she held back. She merely said, "My younger brother Wang Dong meant well. How could you say such things about him?"
"You said it first," Su Yu replied.
"I'm his sister; of course, I can say it," Wang Dong'er retorted, her gaze unwavering.
Su Yu grinned. "What a coincidence. I'm his boss. He has to listen to me no matter what."
Listen to you?! I'd love to bash your head in!
Wang Dong'er nearly clenched her fists, resisting the urge to pummel Su Yu. But maintaining her persona was key, so she couldn't act out.
Patience. She had to be patient.
Her plans demanded that she thoroughly captivate Su Yu before settling the score.
Inwardly, she kept reminding herself of this, managing to calm down with some effort.
Wang Dong'er prided herself on her looks, knowing she far outshone others like Meng Hongchen. With Su Yu's flirty nature, there was no way he could resist her charms.
Watching her restrained but frustrated expression, Su Yu found the sight amusing.
A silly butterfly trying to outplay me? You're overestimating yourself.
Still, if not for her endearing simplicity, Su Yu wouldn't have felt any spark. Trying to get the better of him? She'd end up being the one outmaneuvered.
After taking some time to regain her composure, Wang Dong'er grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, let's go. Don't bother with this flirt anymore."
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Wang Dong'er knew Su Yu too well. In verbal sparring, she'd inevitably lose. Su Yu only had one real flaw—his flirtatiousness. In every other way, he was as shrewd as a fox.
This encounter was already a success; her mission for the day was complete. However, she couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed. She hadn't gotten the shocked reaction she'd hoped for from Su Yu. Instead, she found herself outmaneuvered again.
But it didn't matter. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. She was determined to tease Su Yu back one day.
This wooden-headed guy always bullied her before. And now, always flaunting his closeness with Meng Hongchen as if she wouldn't get jealous?
Hmph. What a fool. He deserves to stay clueless.
She vowed not to make it easy for Su Yu to win her over. She'd dangle the possibility just enough to keep him in suspense and vent her frustrations.
Wang Dong'er plotted inwardly while tugging Xiao Xiao along.
Reluctantly, Xiao Xiao glanced back. "Su Yu, we're heading off to eat now."
Su Yu chuckled. "Go ahead."
After the words left his lips, Wang Dong'er pulled Xiao Xiao away.
Su Yu watched their retreating figures with a faint smile. Then he called out, "Hey, what's your name?"
"Her name is Wang Dong'er," Xiao Xiao replied, waving her hand.
Su Yu: "?????"
What did you just say her name is?
Su Yu was utterly flabbergasted.
At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, she's Wang Dong. At Shrek Academy, she's Wang Dong'er?
You're not even trying to be subtle. Do you think no one will notice?
Truly living up to being a silly butterfly.
But in fairness, Su Yu had to admit the audacity was impressive.
Taking on the identity of Wang Dong to enroll in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, taking a two-year leave of absence, and during that time, joining Shrek Academy under the guise of Wang Dong'er. Then, after the leave ended, returning to the Sun Moon Academy as Wang Dong—all while seamlessly switching identities?
Even Su Yu couldn't help but applaud the daring.
Had she not been from the Clear Sky Sect, this kind of identity hopping between the rival academies would surely lead to serious consequences. Both institutions would likely seek to discipline her severely.
But Su Yu wasn't one to play such reckless games himself, especially since he needed to consider Meng Hongchen's feelings.
Wang Dong'er, however, probably didn't care about anyone's opinions—except his.
It was obvious to Su Yu that Wang Dong'er had orchestrated this whole scenario to track him down, resorting to the simplest yet most foolproof method: staying at Shrek Academy and waiting for him to show up.
Now that Su Yu thought about it, the figure he'd glimpsed last night must have been Wang Dong'er all along.
PS: Tang San is not worried about Su Yu's playboy habit. He has Yin Yang Love Querying Valley as his trump card to forcibly pair Su Yu with his daughter.
