"Qin Ming, we'll need your help with the training resources and facilities for the children. They have great potential and need a suitable environment to hone it."
His gaze swept over the Shrek Academy members, finally landing on Fu Qin, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
In today's match, Fu Qin's quick thinking and selfless protection of his friends demonstrated a maturity and sense of responsibility beyond his years.
Tang San sat beside Xiao Wu, quietly enjoying the food, occasionally whispering to her with tender eyes.
However, Dai Mubai, who was not far away, seemed somewhat absent-minded.
His gaze seemed glued to Zhu Zhuqing, frequently glancing at her.
Zhu Zhuqing had changed into a black outfit that accentuated her toned figure, and her cool, aloof eyes conveyed a sense of unapproachability.
She ate her dinner by herself, ignoring Dai Mubai's gaze and not even glancing at him.
Dai Mubai was seething with anger.
He disliked Zhu Zhuqing's cold demeanor the most, as if he were worthless in her eyes.
But he knew better than anyone that the succession rules of the Star Luo royal family were extremely cruel.
Only with Zhu Zhuqing's approval and support can he gain the upper hand in the competition with Davis and ultimately seize the throne.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze drifted past the crowd, occasionally and very subtly toward Fu Qin.
There was no disgust for Dai Mubai in her gaze, nor the shyness of an ordinary woman.
Instead, it carried a hint of curiosity, a hint of inquiry, and a hint of admiration that she herself was unaware of.
In today's battle, Fu Qin's act of taking Yu Tianheng's full-force attack to protect Xiao Wu left a deep impression on her.
He is strong, decisive, and carries a reassuring sense of responsibility.
Fu Qin naturally noticed this subtle gaze.
He held his wine glass, seemingly chatting and laughing with Ning Rongrong, but out of the corner of his eye, he took in Zhu Zhuqing's reaction.
But he didn't make any move; he simply smiled faintly and waited to see what would happen.
He had already learned of Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's plans through their "inner thoughts".
He actually intended to push Zhu Zhuqing to his side as well.
Perhaps it was because Ning Rongrong was quite traumatized when she first shared a room with him that she regained her memories of her past life.
Therefore, they hoped that Zhu Zhuqing could also awaken her past life memories by sharing a room with them.
To be honest, Fu Qin felt that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were treating him like an animal.
Come once when you have something to do, come once when you don't have anything to do, and come again when you're bored.
I don't know how they managed to protect themselves; they tried so hard, but neither of them managed to get pregnant.
"Brother Fu Qin, this roasted lamb chop is delicious, you should try it."
Ning Rongrong picked up a piece of lamb chop, held it to Fu Qin's lips, glanced slyly in Zhu Zhuqing's direction, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Sister Zhuqing seems a little unhappy today, do you want to go and cheer her up?"
Fu Qin took a bite of the lamb chop, tasting a faint sweetness on his tongue, and replied in a low voice, "Rongrong, what are you saying? Zhuqing is Mubai's fiancée."
Upon hearing his words, Ning Rongrong slightly pursed her lips.
"People just think that Sister Zhuqing is too lonely."
Ning Rongrong blinked, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Besides, Zhuqing is the hardest working one in our team. With your help and guidance, Brother Fuqin, she will definitely have an easier time."
Xiao Wu also came over, holding a glass of juice, and whispered.
"Fu Qin, Zhu Qing is very talented. If possible... I... Rongrong and I wouldn't mind." Her gaze was sincere, but it also hid a hint of selfishness.
She hoped that Fu Qin would be surrounded by people she trusted, and Zhu Zhuqing was undoubtedly the best choice.
Hearing their subtle hints, Fu Qin's heart was burning with excitement.
But he absolutely cannot show this expression at this moment, after all, he still needs to maintain his public persona.
He looked up and met Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, which she quickly looked away from.
In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending to continue eating, but her ears secretly turned pink.
......
The banquet has ended.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong each supported Zhu Zhuqing on either side and left with light steps, clearly intending to take her away alone.
Dai Mubai took a big gulp of wine, and the fire in his chest burned brighter and brighter.
With Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong watching over him, let alone getting close to Zhu Zhuqing, it would be difficult to even say a word to her.
"Let's go!" Dai Mubai slammed his hand on the table, stood up, grabbed Tang San's arm, and pulled the drunken Ma Hongjun along.
"Hey, you little rascal, come with me to a nice place to sober up!"
Tang San was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look at the spot where Xiao Wu had just been sitting, but it was already empty.
Thinking of Xiao Wu's growing distance from him these past few days, and of the desires he had suppressed deep in his heart, he felt a surge of irritation.
Having lived three lives, he was no longer an ignorant youth. At the age of youthful vigor, the torment he felt when Xiao Wu rejected him almost consumed him.
With Xiao Wu no longer by his side, Dai Mubai's suggestion was like a spark igniting dry tinder.
"Okay!" Tang San's eyes flashed with excitement, and he agreed without hesitation.
"Perfect timing to go out for some fresh air!"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his eyes and laughed drunkenly.
"Is there something delicious? Or something interesting to see?"
"You'll know when we get there!" Dai Mubai grinned, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and pulled the two of them toward the door.
The three figures disappeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, and no one noticed that these three Shrek Academy students were actually heading to a brothel for pleasure.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong helped Zhu Zhuqing back to the guest room area.
Just after turning the corner and confirming that no one was in the corridor, Xiao Wu suddenly let go of Zhu Zhuqing and turned to run towards Fu Qin.
"Fu Qin! Come with us quickly!"
Xiao Wu grabbed Fu Qin's hand, her tone urgent yet sly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Ning Rongrong helped the somewhat dazed Zhu Zhuqing up and winked at Fu Qin.
"Brother Fu Qin, this is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned and struggled for a moment.
"What are you trying to do?!" She seemed to have a feeling that the two of them had ill intentions.
Especially when she saw Fu Qin following her, her cheeks instantly flushed red.
"Oh dear, Sister Zhuqing, don't be shy!"
...
Ning Rongrong smiled, pressed her shoulder, and pushed her towards her room.
"We just want you to have a good chat with Brother Fu Qin and get to know each other better."
Fu Qin was pulled along by Xiao Wu, and his feet followed her involuntarily.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's slightly flustered appearance, and at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's expressions that seemed to indicate that "good things are about to happen," a helpless yet amused smile appeared on his lips.
The two of them really went to great lengths to get Zhu Zhuqing to their side.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
