"Gu Yue..."
"Luo Chuan, is she your girlfriend?"
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath. Though the answer was practically staring her in the face, she still seemed unwilling to fully accept it.
"That's right, Yun'er."
Tang Luochuan nodded in confirmation.
"It should be pretty obvious."
Gu Yue, standing nearby, responded softly before naturally linking her arm with Tang Luochuan's. Though she didn't say anything more, the sight alone was enough to deal Dai Yun'er a devastating blow.
"But Luo Chuan's girlfriend..."
"Wasn't her name Na'er?"
Watching the scene unfold, Dai Yun'er instinctively narrowed her eyes before biting her lip and asking the question she couldn't hold back.
Gu Yue, Na'er...
Even if her memory was bad, she wouldn't mistake those names.
"Hm? Is someone talking about me?"
Right at that moment, a sweet and adorable figure appeared beside them. Glancing at Dai Yun'er with a puzzled expression, it was none other than Na'er.
"Brother Luo Chuan, Sister Gu Yue..."
"I'm not late, am I?"
The next moment, she turned toward Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue, smiling as she asked.
"Of course not."
Hearing this, both Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue shook their heads with a laugh.
"This is Na'er..."
Dai Yun'er stared blankly at the girl who had suddenly appeared. Then, as she watched Na'er take Tang Luochuan's other arm, a question mark formed in her mind.
"Luo Chuan, we should get going."
"Yun'er, we have something to attend to right now. I'll ask a friend to show you around Shrek Academy—just wait here for a bit..."
"We'll be leaving first."
Tang Luochuan turned toward Dai Yun'er as he spoke, waving goodbye before quickly disappearing from sight.
"Na'er, Gu Yue..."
"Two girlfriends?"
Dai Yun'er's eyes widened in disbelief. She had thought Gu Yue was the only one—never expecting there to be another. She couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
"Does this mean my opening has gone from one person... to two?"
A thoughtful expression crossed Dai Yun'er's face as she murmured to herself.
Well, if that's the case...
The advantage was hers!
"Now I just have to wait for Luo Chuan's friend to arrive..."
Dai Yun'er muttered.
"..."
"Luo Chuan, you sure bid farewell to your old friend..."
"Quite decisively."
Meanwhile, on their way out, Gu Yue wore a faint smile as she spoke softly.
"After all, I promised you both."
"We all have our own plans."
Tang Luochuan chuckled and shook his head, speaking frankly. It wasn't that he was cold-hearted or indifferent—he had simply made a promise to his girlfriends.
And not just one, but two.
If he stood them up now, did he still value his life? Did he still want his two adorable girlfriends?
"Oh?"
"So if you hadn't promised us, would you be off on a sweet little outing with that princess from the Star Luo Continent right now?"
Gu Yue's smile didn't waver as she pressed further.
"Of course not."
"Compared to me..."
"She has a much more suitable guide."
Tang Luochuan shook his head dismissively.
"..."
On the other side, Dai Yun'er found herself staring wide-eyed at the friend Luo Chuan had brought over.
"Sister Duoduo?"
"Yun'er?"
Wu Siduo looked at Dai Yun'er before her, and Dai Yun'er likewise stared back at her. For a moment, neither could find words to speak.
"Tell me, Yun'er."
"Why did you suddenly come to Douluo Continent?"
A trace of bewilderment crossed Wu Siduo's face as she scrutinized Dai Yun'er from head to toe, unable to hold back her question.
She had always believed she understood this genius girl she'd grown up with. Hadn't Yun'er been perfectly content at Monster Academy since childhood, even being hailed as one of the Eight Great Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy?
And now, she'd quietly come to Douluo Continent without a word?
Wu Siduo had come to see what this so-called Shrek Academy was all about, but what about Yun'er? What was her reason?
"I came to Shrek Academy out of curiosity, and also because the person I'm curious about is here."
"Sister Duoduo, didn't I tell you before that I wanted to introduce you to an incredibly talented genius..."
Dai Yun'er wore a slightly troubled expression as she walked beside Wu Siduo, unable to suppress her words.
"Mmm."
"I remember that. You mentioned it more than once before my vacation, but when I was on break, I never got to see who this extraordinary person was."
Wu Siduo responded softly, stating the facts. She only recalled that the person Yun'er spoke of seemed to be from Douluo Continent, having only visited Star Luo Continent by chance before...
"Oh?"
"So he's a student at Shrek Academy?"
At this moment, she couldn't help but pause slightly, testing the waters with her question.
"Yes..."
"And not just any Shrek Academy student—he already has a girlfriend..."
A bitter smile touched Dai Yun'er's lips as she spoke frankly.
To this childhood friend before her, she naturally wouldn't hide such trivial matters. Besides, liking someone of the opposite sex wasn't anything unusual.
"He has a girlfriend..."
"Oh, you."
Hearing this, Wu Siduo froze momentarily, her gaze at Dai Yun'er tinged with sympathy. Having a girlfriend...
In this regard, Yun'er was eerily similar to her. Perhaps this was the bond between close sisters.
"Yun'er, don't take it too hard."
"Didn't I say before that I'd introduce you to that genius I quite fancied? Well, let me tell you..."
"The bad news is, he has a girlfriend."
Wu Siduo's face carried a hint of resignation as she spoke slowly.
"Huh?"
"Then what good news could there possibly be?"
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er's expression turned contemplative. She had thought Sister Duoduo was going to say something else.
"No."
"There is no good news."
"The worse news is, he has two girlfriends."
Wu Siduo, however, shook her head with a laugh.
At these words, Dai Yun'er slowly formed a question mark in her mind. Who had hacked into her account?
"I doubt there's a single genius in the entire Star Luo Empire who's had worse luck than me, but I won't give up..."
Wu Siduo chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Even if she couldn't keep up with his footsteps, it wouldn't stop her from making pursuing him her lifelong goal.
"Mmm..."
"Actually, Sister Duoduo, there's another one in the Star Luo Empire."
Dai Yun'er pondered for a moment before finally speaking slowly.
"Hmm?"
"Who is it?"
Wu Siduo asked in confusion. She had said this to ease Yun'er's pressure and make her feel more relaxed. After all, although Luo Chuan was a bit of a playboy, it just meant there was an opening for her.
But on the Star Luo Continent...
Could there really be such an unlucky guy?
"..."
The next moment, Dai Yun'er pointed at herself.
"The boy I like."
"Also has two girlfriends."
Wu Siduo: "..."
This time, it was Wu Siduo's turn to fall silent. Not to be rude, but even for close sisters, was this level of coincidence necessary?
Could this be the so-called bond between sisters?
"Wait."
"Yun'er, what's the name of the boy you like?"
At this moment, Wu Siduo suddenly realized something and couldn't help but ask.
"Tang Luochuan."
