Chapter 42 What kind of master is he? I have to go see him in person in the middle of the night.
Ning Shu had already walked far away, but Xie Yue's gaze remained fixed on her. Seeing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but tease him.
Yan joined in, nudging Xie Yue with his elbow and grinning smugly, "Brother Xie Yue, your eyes are practically popping out of your head! You'd better watch them, or they'll see right through you when they turn around!"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering, and you even mock him!" Hu Liena slapped Yan on the back, frowning as she said, "How dare you talk like that about your brother!"
"Huh?" Yan winced in pain, looking aggrieved. "Nana, I was just agreeing with you, why did you hit me?"
"I was just saying it, how could you join me in talking about my brother?" Hu Liena said unhappily.
Yan sighed helplessly and quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, it was my fault, Nana, don't be angry, getting angry is bad for your health!"
"snort."
Hu Liena turned her head away and continued watching Xie Yue.
Xie Yue didn't seem to hear what they were saying. He kept staring in the direction Ning Shu had left, as if he had something on his mind.
Hu Liena's brow relaxed, and she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Having grown up with Xie Yue, doesn't Hu Liena understand him?
It's likely that Ning Shu isn't the only person who could garner Xie Yue's attention.
Does her brother know anything about it?
Could it be about her teacher?
Thinking of this, a look of worry flashed in Hu Liena's eyes.
Ning Shu's figure disappeared from Xie Yue's sight. Only then did Xie Yue turn his gaze to Hu Liena and Yan, "What did you two just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"what?"
Yan's lips twitched slightly. "No, I didn't say anything."
So, he just filtered out what they said?
"Nana?"
Seeing that Hu Liena's expression was not good, Xie Yue couldn't help but call out to her.
Hu Liena snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and said, "He didn't say anything. Brother, it's getting late, shall we head back to the hotel?"
"it is good."
Xie Yue nodded, without saying anything else.
Yan looked at the two people who seemed preoccupied and couldn't understand how they could suddenly have something on their minds.
Besides, weren't they all together all day?
What could possibly be on their minds, brother and sister?
Could it be that she had it behind his back?
Yan walked all the way, but he still couldn't figure out when Hu Liena and Xie Yue had started having these feelings for each other.
He could understand Xie Yue; it was simply because of Ning Shu.
What about Hu Liena?
Could it be that she also likes Ning Shu?

The night was quiet and still.
It was late at night when Ning Shu returned to Shrek Academy.
She took a quick shower and went to bed.
Just then, a gust of cold wind came in from outside the window. She shivered, quickly pulled the blanket up, and wrapped herself up.
"Damn, it wasn't this cold when I came back, how come it's so cold now?"
Before she could finish muttering to herself, Ning Shu felt as if there was someone else in her room.
"who!"
By the time she realized what was happening, the man had already placed his hands on either side of her body, making it impossible for her to reach out. She was pinned under the covers and tightly choked.
"Hey, what's wrong with you today? I've been here for so long, and you didn't even notice?"
The newcomer was the Light Feather Douluo. He placed his hands on either side of Ning Shu, smiled, and brought his face close to hers, a smile that didn't reach his eyes, which was alluring.
Guangling looked her up and down for a while, and before anyone could speak, he packed Ning Shu up, blanket and all, and carried her on his shoulder!
"?!"
Ning Shu was shocked. "Grandpa Guangling?! What are you doing?!"
In the dead of night, just as she was about to fall asleep, Ning Shu was suddenly carried away. Listening to Guang Ling's words, she seemed to realize something. She struggled, wanting Guang Ling to put her down, "Grandpa Guang Ling, wait, wait!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Ning Shu's anxious voice attracted Guang Ling's attention. He stopped and glanced at Ning Shu, but he didn't seem to intend to put her down.
Guangling reminded her, "Ah Shu, aren't you a little dizzy from flying? I've thought about it for a long time, and I think it would be better to just pack you up and take you with us. That way, you won't get dizzy!"
What??
What is that?
Ning Shu frowned. "No, even if I fainted, you didn't need to use such an extreme method. Besides, how long have you been here? Where are you taking me now? You've been so quiet, it scared me!"
"Oh dear, I was just thinking of you. If you're too dizzy, just crawl under the covers, then you won't be able to see how high it is. As for how long I've been here, it's been a while. I thought you'd find me sooner, but I was wrong. You're already under the covers and haven't noticed me. So I came up with this brilliant idea. See, isn't it killing two birds with one stone!"
Guangling said smugly, thinking he had done a great thing.
To Ning Shu's surprise, her face darkened upon hearing this. "Grandpa Guangling, does that mean you saw me taking a bath?"
bath??!
Guangling paused, then hurriedly shook her head. "No, no, no, A-Shu, I'm not a pervert. I was lying on my book when you were taking a bath, I definitely didn't see anything. Besides, you always close the windows when you take a bath, I don't have X-ray vision, I definitely didn't see anything, I definitely didn't see anything!"
Guang Ling's tone was sincere and urgent. He had lived for eighty or ninety years and was a titled Douluo. How could he possibly become a pervert who peeks at little girls taking a bath?
Ah Shu has completely misunderstood!
Judging from Guangling's tone, he didn't seem to be lying. Ning Shu carefully recalled her memories of taking a bath, and at that time, the window was indeed closed.
"Cough cough."
Ning Shu cleared her throat and softened her tone, "Grandpa Guangling, I'm sorry, I was just a little anxious, I didn't mean to say that."
Guangling also felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't spoken carefully, and he couldn't blame Ning Shu for thinking that way.
He waved his hand and quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's all cleared up. By the way, Ah Shu, the reason I came to see you this time is because I promised to find you a master last time. Now that your cheap master has been found, he wants to see you, so I came to pick you up."
master??
Ning Shu was completely confused. "Grandpa Guangling, didn't we agree to talk about it after I had my vacation? It hasn't been that long, and it's the middle of the night. What kind of master is this, meeting in the middle of the night?"
"emmm"
Guangling looked up at the sky; it was indeed getting late.
But once people are out, you can't just put them back in, can you?
We'll just have to bite the bullet and carry it away.
Guang Ling coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "This is my oversight, but Little A-Shu, it's also your cheap master's fault for insisting on seeing you now. I'm doing this for your sake, and I noticed that there's no one else in the academy. They must have abandoned you, so I decided to take you away. By the way, are you on vacation?"
