Chapter 77 Tomorrow
After confirming that Huo Yuhao had returned to the dormitory, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao went to the small square in front of the dormitory building one after the other.
It was just after dinner, and most of the students had either gone to the Soul Fighting Zone or to the school market. There weren't many people in the dormitories.
Wang Dong slowly stopped, gently raised his head, and looked at the soul-guided streetlights that had just lit up in the square, somewhat lost in thought.
Xiao Xiao, who was behind him, also stopped at this moment.
Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong with a serious expression, but she didn't speak. Since Wang Dong had initiated the conversation, Xiao Xiao patiently waited for him to speak first.
After a long silence, Wang Dong turned around. The soft light from the soul-guiding streetlights shone on his somewhat nervous face, making him look rather pitiful.
"Xiao Xiao, actually I'm a woman disguised as a man."
Unlike her previous deliberate falsetto, Wang Dong's voice now was soft, sweet, and exceptionally natural.
When Xiao Xiao, who was completely unprepared, heard this voice say those words, her brain seemed to explode, her CPU overloaded and instantly failed.
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a long time, then suddenly took two steps back, covered her mouth with her small hand, and pointed at Wang Dong with trembling hands, her face turning bright red.
"You! You're a girl?! Both of you?!"
Wang Dong grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand in a panic, afraid that this guy who had just learned the truth might run away.
"Let me explain!"
Xiao Xiao symbolically tried to pull her hand away from Wang Dong's. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to say. After a brief silence, Xiao Xiao lowered her head and asked, "Why did you dress up as a man? I don't understand."
Wang Dong was stunned; she didn't know how to explain it. Did she really have to explain to Xiao Xiao that she was being hypnotized by a voice in her head? Don't be ridiculous! Nobody would believe that!
Wang Dong took a deep breath, temporarily calming himself down, and said softly, "I know it's hard for you to understand, but I don't know how to explain it to you either. I've thought about it for a long time, and besides you, I can't find anyone else to talk to about this."
Looking at Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao felt like he was a lonely little kitten, all alone and helpless.
Perhaps because they had spent so much time together, there was still some friendship between them, so Xiao Xiao decided not to dwell on the matter any longer.
"So what are you trying to achieve by telling me this today? Having spent so much time with Yuhao, sharing a room with him, are you now trying to back out?"
"You, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, and that Ma Xiaotao from the inner courtyard, that's five people already. If I continue to stay by his side as his good brother, I might be the first to be eliminated, right? Sharing a room, spending every day together. It sounds nice, but that's not love between a man and a woman, and it's not what I want."
"Wang Dong, do you want to cooperate?" Xiao Xiao looked seriously into Wang Dong's eyes and said solemnly.
Wang Dong was stunned. Cooperation? What did that mean?
Before Wang Dong could answer, Xiao Xiao continued, "Yuhao definitely won't just rely on these people in the future. Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er are Ning Tian's pawns, and I'm certain they'll get involved! And they'll be working with Ning Tian to deal with us! Can you defeat all three of them in a one-on-one fight? So let's cooperate! With you, Su Su, and Luo Luo on my side, even if Ning Tian manages to win over the inner court seniors, the four of us together will at least be invincible!"
Wang Dong was stunned; what Xiao Xiao said sounded like a fantasy to her!
I just want to have a relationship, how did you escalate it into a political battle? Am I out of touch with the times? Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?
Seeing that Wang Dong remained silent, Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Wang Dong! There's a spare bed in my dorm! Come on over! Let's beat those vixens together!"
At this moment, Wang Dong felt as if he had seen a life mentor; Xiao Xiao seemed to be radiating holy light.
"Ahem, Xiao Xiao, I forgot to mention earlier, my name is actually Wang Dong'er."
Xiao Xiao patted Wang Dong'er's shoulder with a faint smile and said, "Dong'er, Yuhao doesn't know about your situation yet, does he?"
Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao's inexplicable smile, somewhat puzzled. "Nothing, what's wrong?"
A strange light flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and she said with a smile, "We'll give him a surprise tomorrow!"
"Huh?"
Upon returning to his dormitory, Huo Yuhao didn't immediately begin meditating and cultivating. Instead, he started planning his upcoming soul tool production project. Ning Tian had just handed over the agreed-upon investment to him, and he currently had a surplus of basic rare metals. He needed to make simple arrangements to ensure that every piece of rare metal was used to its fullest potential.
Once you start making plans, you can't stop. But Huo Yuhao also knows that plans should be broad rather than detailed. If they're too detailed, it's hard to adjust if something goes wrong or an unexpected event occurs. Simply defining the general usage categories for each type of metal is enough.
The silver-white soul guide ring that Ning Tian gave him was a full ten cubic meters in size. Although it didn't include all the primary metals, it undoubtedly contained the rarer ones, and in considerable quantities.
With the weekly quota that Xian Lin'er gives him, Huo Yuhao is probably among the richest of all first-level soul masters.
Just as he finalized all the plans, the dormitory door creaked open a crack.
Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Wang Dong walking in somewhat awkwardly, his eyes darting around, which made Huo Yuhao even more puzzled.
What exactly did he say to Xiao Xiao? He seemed so preoccupied this afternoon, why is he acting so strangely now? Something's not right! Something's very wrong!
"Wang Dong, what on earth have you two been up to behind my back?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's straightforward question, Wang Dong trembled, turned away with evasive eyes, and stammered, "You'll know tomorrow, don't ask so many questions!"
After saying that, Wang Dong grabbed his toiletries and rushed out of the dormitory, giving Huo Yuhao no time to react.
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, stared blankly at himself for a while, then rubbed his temples and sighed softly.
Why are they all being so secretive? Oh well, Wang Dong said we'll find out tomorrow, so there's no need for me to rush.
Looking at the time, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt an urge to go out for a walk; there was exactly one hour left before curfew. He grabbed his coat, draped it over his shoulders, and casually stuffed the keys from the table into his pocket. He opened the dormitory door and strode out.
