Rao Jie rubbed her slightly itchy nose and gazed at Wu Rong with a distant look.
Wu Rong innocently said, "You were sleeping so soundly; you must be tired. How could I bear to wake you up? Don't you think?" After saying this, Wu Rong revealed an elegant and charming smile.
Looking at the captivating Wu Rong, Rao Jie suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and the hairs on her neck stood on end.
After spending some time together, Rao Jie had a basic understanding of Wu Rong's personality. The irritable and fierce Wu Rong was actually the least threatening and most unscary because he expressed his emotions very directly. Once accustomed to it, one could only find it amusing, like teasing a hedgehog rather than facing a lion.
Although she didn't have the courage to tease him, she had seen Director Ye do it. However, when he displayed a smile that was both superficial yet charming, communicating with a European gentleman's demeanor, that was when he became the most dangerous. You could imagine him as a smiling lion ready to feast—terrifying indeed.
Rao Jie felt intimidated and shrank back involuntarily.
"Professor Wu, did I do something wrong to upset you?"
In an instant, she went from being the one holding someone accountable to being the one questioned.
Wu Rong maintained his deadpan smile and replied, "It's nothing; it's just that you dreamed about me last night."
Rao Jie's face instantly turned red.
How... how could that be? What does dreaming about him mean? Could it be that Wu Rong mistakenly thought she liked him?
Rao Jie felt that if that were true, it was no wonder Wu Rong was unhappy; she needed to explain herself quickly.
Just as Rao Jie was about to clarify this huge misunderstanding, Wu Rong continued, "You said I was fierce."
Rao Jie froze and swallowed hard.
Wu Rong squinted slightly and tilted his head with a smile, "And you called me... the Great Demon King!"
With a crack, Rao Jie felt a lightning bolt strike her mind.
"No... it can't be! It must be a misunderstanding; sometimes people say things in their sleep that don't make sense."
She really... had said it while asleep.
This... this was how she had secretly mocked Wu Rong; but she hadn't even invented it! It was clearly Wu Xin who first called him that. It was because of Wu Xin's influence that she ended up calling Wu Rong that when she was angry.
Moreover, she was only complaining in her heart; she hadn't said anything out loud!
Wait, what?
Was he really angry over such a half-joking, half-complaining nickname?
He was clearly an adult, a handsome and accomplished man...
What a narrow-minded guy!
...
Although she felt a surge of frustration, Rao Jie still explained herself, stating that she meant no disrespect towards him. She expressed her gratitude and admiration for him and sincerely apologized.
She thought the matter would be settled.
However, when Rao Jie was heading to school for class that afternoon, she expected Wu Rong to take her there as he had done before.
But as soon as she reached the car, she saw Wu Rong raising an eyebrow at her and saying, "Go by yourself."
Rao Jie: ... He really holds a grudge! She had already apologized!
"Are you slandering me?" Wu Rong leaned against the car window, scrutinizing Rao Jie like a searchlight. "I've noticed you've been getting a bit bold lately!"
Rao Jie quickly shook her head, "Absolutely not!" In truth, she had cursed the big bad wolf in her heart a hundred times.
Wu Rong let out a cold laugh, as if he could see right through Rao Jie. "That's right; I do hold grudges. Who told you I'm the big bad wolf? The big bad wolf isn't in the mood to take you today, so go on your own! Hmph!"
