NOVEL NEXT Ch. 37
Chapter 37: NTR?
Zhang Yifeng froze in place.
He seemed unable to believe that Dong Ningning would actually use the word “fat pig” to describe him.
“Ning… Ningning, what did you… say?”
At this moment, Dong Ningning also realized that she might have lost control just now and quickly said,
“I’m sorry… I just… just…”
Tears once again streamed down from the corners of the girl’s eyes.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the girl, Zhang Yifeng no longer cared to pursue being scolded just now.
He simply regarded it as her being in a bad mood.
“It’s fine, I understand.”
He stretched out his thick arms and embraced Dong Ningning’s petite body into his chest,
“I will protect you, Ningning!”
The girl silently nodded and buried her head even deeper.
Then, Zhang Yifeng picked up Dong Ningning and walked into her room—
And this very scene happened to be witnessed by Lu Feng.
The conversation between the two just now, along with Dong Ningning’s unusual attitude, made Lu Feng feel that something was off.
Since when had these two become so close?
Moreover, judging by Zhang Yifeng’s demeanor, it seemed they had already done much more intimate things before…
Wait a minute, wasn’t Zhang Yifeng pushed down the stairs and killed by Xiao Zhiquan just yesterday?
Their relationship becoming so ambiguous seemed to have only happened in these past two days… could it really be just a coincidence?
Lu Feng frowned tightly.
It looked like he would have to keep a close eye on Dong Ningning and Zhang Yifeng…
…
In another room, the air was filled with the faint fragrance unique to a young girl.
That graceful figure sat at the desk, head lowered, scribbling on paper.
Yu Mo had been sitting at the desk without moving for nearly an hour.
Ever since she returned to the room, she had been absorbed in doing this.
Finally, she stopped what she was doing and stretched her arms with a big yawn.
After that, she picked up the paper covered with drawings, held it up before her eyes for careful examination, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
“Mm… I actually drew it pretty well.”
The sheet of paper before her was covered in intricate and complicated lines.
Just a few glances at it could make one’s eyes spin.
But if someone with even a bit of expertise were to see it, they would be utterly shocked—
Because this turned out to be a hand-drawn floor plan of the old mansion!
The entire blueprint nearly depicted every detail of the old mansion, so detailed it left one speechless.
Unless someone had lived in the old mansion for over ten years and knew everything inside out, it would have been impossible to draw such a map.
Yet Yu Mo had done it.
This might be called a gift.
Yu Mo had possessed an eidetic memory since childhood.
As long as it was something she had read, even after several years, she could still recite it word for word.
Because of this, even though Yu Mo was not very familiar with the old mansion, she could still draw such a precise and flawless floor plan.
It just took her more time.
After staring carefully for a while, Yu Mo’s expression gradually showed some strangeness.
“What’s going on… why is the structure of this old mansion so strange?”
Realizing that something was wrong, Yu Mo picked up the floor plan, intending to find Lu Feng.
But as soon as she pushed open the door, she happened to bump straight into Liuli, who was standing outside.
“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Liuli looked at Yu Mo suspiciously, while the latter instinctively tried to hide the floor plan behind her back,
“T-to the dining hall… Also, what are you doing standing at my door? Do you need something?”
Of course, Yu Mo’s little action did not escape Liuli’s eyes, but she pretended not to notice,
“Nothing. It’s just that being alone feels kind of unsettling, so I thought I’d come find you—”
Before she could finish speaking, Liuli suddenly widened her eyes in terror and pointed behind Yu Mo,
“Y-you, behind you!”
Yu Mo’s heart jolted.
She instinctively turned her head to look.
The moment she turned, the floor plan was snatched away by Liuli in one swift motion.
Realizing she had been tricked, Yu Mo became both anxious and angry.
She immediately reached out to grab back the hard-earned floor plan,
“Give it back to me!”
Liuli dodged Yu Mo’s grasp and quickly glanced over the drawing.
Her face instantly changed.
“This… you drew this?”
She looked in shock at the fuming girl.
“Hmph, so what if I did?”
Yu Mo clearly didn’t have much fondness for the person before her.
She once again stretched out her hand toward Liuli, saying,
“Done looking? Then give it back.”
But Liuli didn’t respond.
She only lowered her head, staring at the floor plan in thought.
Just as Yu Mo was about to forcibly snatch it back again, Liuli suddenly showed an expression of realization.
She turned to Yu Mo and said,
“How about we make a deal?”
“…What deal?” Yu Mo paused, staring at Liuli suspiciously.
Liuli leaned her red lips close to Yu Mo’s ear and whispered something, pointing here and there on the floor plan as she spoke.
When she finished, Yu Mo also revealed a look of sudden comprehension,
“So that’s it… then let’s quickly go tell Lu Feng!”
Upon hearing this, Liuli shook her head and once again leaned close to whisper.
This time, Yu Mo showed a troubled expression,
“Would that… really be okay?”
“Leaving Lu Feng to shoulder so much on his own, do you really think that’s okay?”
“…”
This time, Yu Mo fell silent.
While the girl wavered, Liuli added more weight to her persuasion,
“Besides, don’t you really want to know what Lu Feng did in my room that night?”
Liuli showed a shy expression.
“If you agree, I’ll tell you. How about it?”
“…Fine.”
Yu Mo practically bit out her reply through clenched teeth.
…
From inside Lin You’s room came the sound of heavy breathing.
His sturdy muscles repeatedly tensed and relaxed, sweat dripping to the floor with his movements.
“Two hundred and one, two hundred and two, two hundred and three…”
The number of push-ups steadily increased until it reached exactly three hundred.
At last, Lin You’s stamina reached its limit, and with a “thud,” he collapsed onto the floor, his chest rising and falling as he gasped for breath.
Feeling the burning sensation in both arms, Lin You finally felt his overheated head cool down.
“Hoo…”
He exhaled again, grabbed a towel, and began wiping the sweat off his body.
At this moment, the door to his room was knocked.
Lin You opened it casually without much thought, only to find in surprise that the one standing there was Dong Ningning.
“Ah…”
When the girl saw Lin You’s bare torso and bulging muscles, she couldn’t help but let out a small gasp, her cheeks flushing slightly red.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t know it was you… I’ll go put on a shirt right now.”
Lin You felt a little awkward.
Just as he was about to close the door to change, Dong Ningning stopped him,
“No, no need. Actually, like this… you look very handsome.”
Dong Ningning lowered her head slightly and said shyly.
The girl’s straightforward praise made Lin You blush as well.
He scratched his head and let out two awkward laughs,
“Well… did you need something from me?”
“Mm…”
Dong Ningning nodded,
“But… could we talk inside?”
“Oh, of course, please come in.”
Lin You moved aside from the doorway, and after Dong Ningning stepped into the room, he gently closed the door.
Once the two entered the room, a fat figure silently stepped out from the corner, glaring at Lin You’s door with a face twisted in anger.
That person was Zhang Yifeng.
He stood there for a moment before silently walking away.
Yet as he left, his clenched fists turned pale from the force.
However, all of this was also witnessed by another pair of eyes.
Zhang Tong stepped out from behind a slightly ajar door, his expression flickering uncertainly—
Was I just… witnessing an NTR scene?
