Chapter 33 Dai Mubai: You should reward me.

"Fengzi... are you really okay with this...?"

Walking on the streets of Soto City, Dai Mubai, after coming to Shrek Academy from Zhu Zhuqing, dared not cause any more trouble and walked obediently with Han Feng.

On the way to Soto City, Dai Mubai and Han Feng became acquainted, and their way of addressing each other became even closer.

At this moment, Dai Mubai's expression was somewhat conflicted, and he spoke cryptically to Han Feng.

Han Feng was somewhat confused: "What do you mean, 'Does it matter'?"

"It's Ning Rongrong?"

Han Feng understood. After thinking about it, he realized that what he had just said was indeed a bit harsh. But a serious illness requires strong medicine. Just thinking about Ning Rongrong's princess syndrome gave Han Feng a headache just thinking about having to study at Shrek Academy with someone like her. Being clever and mischievous is fine, but being willful and capricious is not!

"Ning Rongrong is too willful and has a lot of bad habits. Would you really want to study with someone like her?"

Dai Mubai shook his head, and Han Feng smiled easily: "That's right! Someone has to tell her these things. Otherwise, think about it, if the dean finds out that Ning Rongrong didn't go running but came to Soto City with us, what will the dean do? We might be implicated too. I'm doing this for her own good, and also for our own good!"

Dai Mubai nodded subconsciously, but quickly realized something was wrong!

That's not the crux of the problem!

"But you're being too hurtful... After all, no matter how willful Ning Rongrong is, it's still a bit too pitiful to hear you say that..."

Dai Mubai tried to downplay the issue, worried that being too direct would make Han Feng even more hesitant to acknowledge Ning Rongrong's feelings for him.

But Dai Mubai never expected that Han Feng had no idea what Ning Rongrong was thinking!

Han Feng said matter-of-factly, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I say it? If the Dean can say it, you can say it, so why can't I? If I don't scold her awake, she'll always be the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Anyway, Shrek Academy doesn't have any secret guards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so what am I afraid of!"

Dai Mubai was stunned upon hearing this. After looking Han Feng up and down, he suddenly realized what was going on!

He realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misconception. He had always thought that Han Feng knew that Ning Rongrong liked him, but only showed his disdain because he disliked Ning Rongrong's willfulness. But now it seemed that Han Feng had no idea that Ning Rongrong liked him at all!

In this way, Ning Rongrong's actions would naturally be viewed in a completely different way by Han Feng!

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but feel sorry for Ning Rongrong.

Of all people to like, why did I have to fall for someone so emotionally idiotic?

"Fengzi, have you ever considered that Ning Rongrong might actually like you and simply want to get closer to you, requesting interaction instead of teasing or bothering you?"

Dai Mubai, known as the Casanova of Shrek Academy, immediately pointed out Han Feng's flawed mindset.

Han Feng was also taken aback when he heard this, and frowned. He had never thought about this question before. Firstly, because in the original work, Ning Rongrong's official partner was Oscar; secondly, because in his opinion, Ning Rongrong always teased him like a little witch, so how could she possibly like him?

In Han Feng's view, if Ning Rongrong liked him, why would she stay up all night to torment him? And why would she make him go through all that trouble, running from the east side of the city to the west side, just for a candied hawthorn?

What annoyed Han Feng the most was that he was Ning Rongrong's savior—even though Han Feng didn't want to save her, he ended up owing Ning Rongrong a favor.

But then Han Feng reconsidered...

Oscar, seemingly oblivious to Ning Rongrong, hadn't even shaved his beard, looking every bit the middle-aged man. Ning Rongrong never even glanced at him. Although Ning Rongrong teased him, since arriving at Shrek Academy, Han Feng had always seen worry for him in her eyes. Ning Rongrong had even noticed his habit of rolling his eyes, and although he liked to cry, she always seemed to reappear before him.

Han Feng then recalled Ning Rongrong's good intentions in helping him build momentum before his battle with Zhao Wuji, hoping he would suppress Tang San and the others.

For a moment, even with Han Feng's high emotional intelligence, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

To say that Han Feng didn't like Ning Rongrong would be a lie; after all, who doesn't like a beautiful girl? It's just that Ning Rongrong's willful and capricious personality was unbearable for Han Feng.

He couldn't understand it. In his thirty-odd years of life, both past and present, he had never encountered such a problem, something that couldn't be explained by rational thinking.

In his previous life, Han Feng never understood why the people around him, even if they liked someone, would act coy and silent, dragging it out for a year or six months before finally telling him.

Don't they know how to take care of these emotionless, straight men and women?

Seeing Han Feng standing there, his expression shifting between confusion and doubt, Dai Mubai sighed softly. Knowing that such things were still too early for Han Feng, he quickly interrupted his thoughts: "Of course, I was just talking nonsense! Don't overthink it, or you'll make a fool of yourself!"

Sure enough, Dai Mubai's words immediately put Han Feng's slightly enlightened mind back into standby mode—this was for the best; if Han Feng had continued thinking, he might have crashed.

"You're right! Let's eat first! I haven't eaten anything since this morning!"

Looking at Han Feng's appearance, Dai Mubai thought of Zhu Zhuqing and sighed – every family has its own troubles!

Who can be like Tang San and Xiao Wu, childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree?

Seeing Han Feng wolfing down his food, Dai Mubai still felt compelled to help him, and said, seemingly casually, "Even so, Fengzi, you still need to apologize to Ning Rongrong..."

Why?

Dai Mubai casually picked up a steamed bun: "If it were the dean, it would be fine, after all, he's an elder, and Ning Rongrong's teacher, so no amount of reprimand would be too much. But you and I are just Ning Rongrong's classmates, peers. You criticized her so harshly, shouldn't you at least apologize?"

Han Feng listened to Dai Mubai's words and felt that Dai Mubai made sense. Although he was a straight man, he wasn't a chauvinist, so he asked, "How should I apologize?"

Dai Mubai curled his lips and pouted his chin. Han Feng understood and looked in one direction, where he saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns and a shop selling exquisite sweet potatoes.

Han Feng thought for a moment, then got up to go buy it, but Dai Mubai stopped him.

Han Feng looked at Dai Mubai with a puzzled expression, only to hear Dai Mubai say, "Besides that, I think you should give Ning Rongrong some encouragement. After all, she only went running obediently because she listened to you. A combination of encouragement and discipline is the best approach to education!"

"So troublesome?" Han Feng frowned, feeling like he was raising a daughter.

Dai Mubai chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself that back then, it took him much more effort to win over those beautiful girls!

"When you were disciplining Ning Rongrong, why didn't you find it troublesome?" Dai Mubai retorted.

Han Feng pursed his lips—back then, all he had to do was speak.

"Then what should I do?" Han Feng pondered for a while, and based on the principle of not bothering two people at once, he asked Dai Mubai.

To everyone's surprise, Dai Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "That depends on you!"

"If you're going to help someone, go all the way! If you're going to do something good, do it completely! This kind of half-hearted way of speaking will give you hemorrhoids!"

"puff!"

Dai Mubai immediately spat out the soy milk he had just drunk, coughed violently twice, and, angered by Han Feng, said directly, "There's nothing I can do to help!"

"Tch! Stingy!" Han Feng muttered under his breath.

Dai Mubai's eyes twitched, and he almost lost his martial spirit possession. But thinking of Han Feng's abnormal defensive power, he estimated that he couldn't do anything to Han Feng, so he gave up the idea. But he secretly decided that he must remember what happened today. When Han Feng finally understands, he will tell him everything that happened today to make him laugh at Han Feng!
