At Shrek Academy, Wang Dong stood completely frozen in place. Her mind went totally blank for a few seconds. She felt a sudden wave of panic hit her chest as she realized the situation was getting very dangerous. She kept wondering how this group of people had suddenly started talking about her secret and exposing her true identity to everyone.
Next to her, Xiao Xiao looked completely dazed as well. She opened her large eyes very wide and stared at Wang Dong. Her eyes rolled around playfully, filled with deep curiosity about what was happening right in front of her.
Xiao Xiao thought back to everything that had happened during the day. She had just finished dealing with her own private business, and it turned out that Wang Dong had finished his business around the exact same time. Furthermore, she had been expelled from the classroom because she was completely distracted, and Wang Dong was also kicked out of the room for being distracted at that exact moment.
Xiao Xiao started repeating the name in her head over and over again. Wang Dong, Wang Dong. It was such a big coincidence. This boy named Wang Dong always received an incredible amount of special care and attention from Brother Su Yan. Xiao Xiao began to think deeply about this matter. If Wang Dong was just an ordinary male student, would Brother Su Yan actually care about him this much?
Xiao Xiao kept thinking, and she quickly realized that the answer was definitely no. Wang Dong was not the legendary child of destiny like Huo Yuhao, so there was absolutely no reason for Su Yan to pay attention to a random boy for no reason at all. This meant that Wang Dong had to hide a massive secret. But there was still one major question that Xiao Xiao could not fully understand yet.
She knew very well that all the active members inside the mysterious Group Chat were beautiful, young sisters. Even though Wang Dong was a very handsome and attractive boy, how could a boy be allowed into that special group chat? He certainly would not choose a name like Wang Dong if he wanted to hide his gender.
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao opened her eyes incredibly wide. A completely wild and shocking thought flashed through her mind. Could this handsome guy named Wang Dong actually be a girl in disguise? The more Xiao Xiao thought about this possibility, the more likely and real it began to seem to her. She carefully noticed that Wang Dong had an incredibly soft and smooth complexion. Her skin did not look rough like a normal boy's skin at all, and it was actually much fairer and clearer than Brother Su Yan's skin.
With a mischievous smile on her face, Xiao Xiao began to slowly walk in a tight circle around Wang Dong. She kept her eyes locked on her, observing every single detail of her body very carefully from top to bottom. Wang Dong felt her body go cold, and she immediately started breaking out in a nervous cold sweat. She felt like everything was completely over for her. If she had known this would happen, she would have never chosen to hang out with Xiao Xiao today. She grew terrified that Xiao Xiao had fully discovered her hidden identity.
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Wang Dong, oh Wang Dong, are you going to confess everything honestly right now, or should I just take what I found and share it with the other sisters in the group chat so we can analyze it together?"
Wang Dong was completely dumbfounded and remained silent for a short moment. She looked around nervously, trying to find a way out of the situation. She tried to smile and said, "Xiao Xiao, let me tell you a massive secret, but you have to promise that you will keep it safe for me, okay? The truth is that I actually have a twin sister."
Xiao Xiao immediately stretched out her small hand to cut her off and said, "Cut it out right now. That classic 'I have a friend or a sister' routine has already been completely ruined and exhausted by Hu Liena. You need to stop making up stories and just tell me the real truth directly."
Wang Dong was truly left speechless now, and she felt a deep sense of frustration. She blamed Hu Liena in her heart for being so annoying and ruining a perfectly good excuse. Wang Dong carefully looked to the left and then to the right to make sure that there was absolutely nobody else walking around the area. Since they were completely alone in the quiet space, she let out a long sigh and decided to admit the truth honestly.
Wang Dong lowered her voice and said, "Fine, I am indeed Wang Dong. My current appearance is just a girl dressed up as a boy because my family strictly required me to do this before leaving home. So, are you happy now that you know my secret?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up with intense excitement, and she started muttering softly to herself, "Wow, so you really are a girl after all. I always wondered why your skin looked so fair and why your face was always so incredibly clean." Then, Xiao Xiao suddenly paused for a second and looked completely dazed again.
She thought about the living arrangements at the school and realized something crazy. She added, "Wait, hold on a second. Your family forced you to dress up like a boy. If Su Yan had not been here to change things, wouldn't you have been assigned a male student as your roommate? Is your family completely sick in the head?"
Wang Dong could only look back at her with wide eyes, completely shocked and unable to say a single word.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the connection, the magical Group Chat became flooded with a massive wave of new messages from the members.
I Am an Orphan: These two, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya, are really stupid enough. Why don't you pull up the list of the entire Shrek Academy, suspect them one by one, and finally post the suspicious ones in the group? Won't it be clear once we all check?
Group Member No. 9: I think you shouldn't count on those two. One is hot-tempered and reckless, the other is brainlessly obsessed with reviving the Tang Sect. You'd be better off counting on Xiao Xiao than them.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Aba? Aba?
Everyone: 666.
Group Member No. 9: Next.
Loves Eating Carrots: Hahaha!!
Yanzi is not a Swallow: It's okay, we still have Jiang Nannan. She is also from Shrek Academy.
Bo Saixi: I think that's also unlikely. This Jiang Nannan came on with 'Brother Su Yan, you're finally here.' This is clearly a love brain. Do you think we can count on her?
Jiang Nannan:???
Liu Erlong: I'm really going to die of laughter. These guys from Shrek Academy are almost catching up to Her Majesty the Empress.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Oh?
Zhang Lexuan: Isn't there still me?
Loves Eating Carrots: I'm going to laugh too. You're even more dazed than them. Everyone automatically skipped you.
Zhu Zhuqing: Xiao Wu is truly happy now. Before you guys came, she was at the bottom of the IQ rankings in the Group Chat. Now that so many of you have arrived at once, Xiao Wu is finally doing better.
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream: So worried.
On the other side of the city, Su Yan finished buying a large variety of nice gifts and treats from the local shops. He walked back toward a quiet residential area together with Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan's family home looked rather simple and ordinary from the outside, but it was actually located in a very expensive and premium part of the region.
It was placed right within the famous second ring of Shrek City. The house was a beautiful, large detached building that featured a spacious courtyard measuring about sixty or seventy square meters. Having a private property of this size in the center of the city meant it could never be called ordinary by anyone.
When they arrived at the entrance, Jiang Nannan opened the gate and called out happily into the house, "Mom, I am finally back home."
Mother Jiang walked out from the main building with a very warm and gentle smile on her face. She looked toward the small group of people gathered at the door and welcomed them, noting that her daughter had brought some close friends back to visit. She noticed Tang Ya, but when her eyes finally landed on Su Yan, her face suddenly filled with shock. She became incredibly excited, and her gaze turned into a mix of pleasant surprise, deep confusion, and curiosity.
Jiang Nannan looked very proud and said happily, "See, Brother Su Yan, I told you that my mom would be able to recognize your face at a single glance, didn't I?"
At that exact moment, Bibi Dong, Ning Rongrong, and Tang Ya stood completely stunned by the doorway. They knew that Jiang Nannan was able to recognize Su Yan because she owned the magical Jade Mirror, but they could not understand how Jiang Nannan's mother could possibly recognize him as well.
Su Yan smiled warmly and stepped forward to greet the older woman. He handed over the heavy bags of gifts he was carrying and said, "Hello Auntie, it is me."
Jiang Nannan's mother was a very simple and humble woman, but she was also exceptionally beautiful and shared an eighty percent resemblance with her daughter. She looked down at the bags and saw the fresh fruits inside. She felt an even greater sense of joy and surprise. She said, "Peaches, oranges, grapes... It really is you, our great Benefactor. The items you brought with you today are the exact same fruits you carried when we first met. But Benefactor, why do you look so much younger than before?"
Bibi Dong and the other girls in the chat grew even more curious about what was going on.
Bibi Dong: Little Bastard, we've finished eating Ning Rongrong's gossip. Hurry up and let us eat your gossip!
Dark Avenger: Su Yan, why does Nannan's mother know you? Isn't this your first time coming to our World?
Su Yan let out a soft laugh and looked at Mother Jiang. He said, "Auntie, I think I explicitly told you back then that you should just call me Xiao Yan whenever we met again in the future, right?"
Mother Jiang and Jiang Nannan both nodded their heads in agreement at the same time. Su Yan felt a little bit helpless about the situation, but he smiled and explained that the story was very long and complicated. He stated that the person they had encountered in the past was actually his own future self. He admitted that the concept was very difficult to explain clearly to them, but he assured them that it was always him from the very beginning to the very end.
Su Yan: I can't explain this situation clearly to you. The general situation is that the future me possessed enough strength to change Jiang Nannan's past.
I Am an Orphan: I still can't figure it out.
I Am a Little Bird: This is really too hard to understand.
Bo Saixi: Brain-burning.
Group Member No. 9: I'm going to surrender too.
Bibi Dong: Is it because our understanding is insufficient that we can't figure it out?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: A bunch of big idiots! Su Yan has said it so clearly, why can't you guys figure it out? It's just that Su Yan changed Jiang Nannan's past!
Loves Eating Carrots: Then let me ask you, in the World of Douluo 2, Bibi Dong died. Now with Su Yan, Bibi Dong doesn't die. So is Bibi Dong still alive in the future?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress:???
Liu Erlong: The answer to this question is that because of Su Yan's appearance, the World has undergone a change and become two different Worlds. So, Your Majesty, do you understand our doubts now?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress:???
Yanzi is not a Swallow: I'm speechless too. Su Yan already said we can't understand and told us in the simplest terms. Do you guys still have to use your brains to think about it? Instead of wasting that time, why don't you watch my livestream of beating up Tang San!
"Yanzi is not a Swallow" started a Group Chat livestream.
