Ning Feng and the others finally returned home and had breakfast, or rather, lunch.
The final scene was forgotten and not mentioned; they prepared a meal together and enjoyed a peaceful time.
They ate and chatted, sharing interesting stories from the past few days.
Shirin lightly dipped the croissant into the soup in the bowl, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly remembered something and said:
"That newcomer, his name is Rod, right? His expression lately isn't too good."
I thought of the tired faces I saw on the surveillance footage, like middle managers who were being bullied by their superiors but had to endure it because they had elderly parents and young children to support.
"Should we discuss this with Xiao Yan? If we continue with this high-pressure approach, the Bincheng branch might lose a new branch manager."
"Rhodes's face was almost like that of an undead creature, like one of those zombies that could be used as experimental equipment for necromancy."
Especially the other person's bald head, which had a greenish tinge to its dark blue color...
That's terrible!
"I know Xiao Yan has always been very demanding of others, but can't she go too far?"
What kind of torture could drive a fourth-tier awakened individual to such a state of near mental collapse?
Will he die in a while?
Shirin didn't care about Rhodes's feelings, but she cared a lot about whether he could successfully succeed as the branch manager and free her from this predicament!
We absolutely cannot let this tool die!
I'm about to be free, so you can't just get rid of me like this!
At least……
Let's wait until I'm completely hydrated before we talk about it!
!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hearing this, Ning Feng blinked, glanced at the calendar, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"Is it already like this? Then it seems we're almost there."
almost?
"Um?"
With her eyes widening slightly, Shirley suddenly realized that the culprit who had almost driven Rod to the brink of collapse was standing right in front of her!
Oh, it was you!
Ning Feng smiled at Xilin, without explaining how he accomplished this feat while paralyzed.
There's nothing to brag about; it's just a matter of talking and producing a few dozen of the most basic test papers.
These are just basic, easy questions that even a second-grade elementary school student could answer.
It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!
Not worth mentioning!
He looked at his accomplice and asked:
"So, Miss Jiang Wan, what do you think? Are you satisfied?"
"Are you choosing to show leniency, or do you intend to escalate the situation?"
hehe.
Jiang Wan gave Ning Feng a flirtatious look, picked up her empty plate, and walked towards the kitchen, saying:
"Ha, it's clearly your own twisted sense of humor, don't make it sound like you're helping me vent my anger."
"You decide your own affairs, don't drag me into it."
That's what she said, but the emotions conveyed through Jiang Wan's light and graceful steps were quite different from what she said.
She was very happy.
Ning Feng wasn't happy about the fact that he had tormented Rhodes, but rather because he wanted to avenge her.
Ning Feng, who called himself "Master of Jiang Wan's Ecological Behavior," naturally understood his thoughts and smiled:
"Okay, I understand."
She's saying she's alright now.
(grip)
oh?
Ning Feng, who was shaking his head with a smile, suddenly found his left hand being gently held. When he turned his head, he saw a piece of bread covered in soup being brought to his mouth.
"Don't play guessing games, I'm still here."
Seeing Xilin's slightly puffed-out cheeks, Ning Feng smiled and nodded, then took a bite of the bread.
Whoosh!
But before he could even take a bite, the bread was snatched away and stuffed into the elf's mouth.
really.
Ning Feng was not surprised by this result; in fact, he had expected it.
But is he the kind of person who would watch others gloat after suffering a setback?
Obviously not.
So, Ning Feng looked at the elven older sister who was eating bread with a smug expression and moved closer to her.
"Hmph~ Hmm? Mmm!"
She forced down the bread stuck in her mouth, and Xilin watched as Ning Feng's eyes rapidly enlarged before her.
"Hmm..."
While Jiang Wan was happily washing the dishes, Ning Feng gently kissed the elf behind her.
Isn't this also a kind of...
"Speaking of which, you... um? Where's Ning Feng?"
Turning her head, Jiang Wan saw Xilin walking over while wiping her mouth and carrying a plate, while Ning Feng, who had been there just moments before, was nowhere to be seen.
"He took the communicator and went out; it seems he was contacting Xiao Yan."
She naturally put down the plate and joined the washing line as if nothing had happened, her expression showing no change.
However, even if one can hide their expression, what is bound to happen has already happened.
Jiang Wan let out a soft hum, catching a whistle from the faint scent emanating from Xilin.
I was in a good mood this time, so I pretended not to notice.
...
...
"Yes, that's enough. We can't let him suffer too much."
Leaning against the railing of the second-floor balcony, Ning Feng looked at the distant woods while talking on the phone with Yan Rulong:
"Please apologize to Rhodes for me. It was really my fault for being willful this time. I'll make it up to him later."
Looking up at the sky, Ning Feng silently smiled, imagining Yan Rulong's expression when he heard those words.
Someone as serious as Instructor Yan must be speechless to be involved in something like this.
