Chapter 97: Time to Go
One day, when the protagonist returned to the dormitory to use the bathroom, he happened to stumble upon the girl taking a shower and reading.
The protagonist, a seasoned LSP (Lecherous Scum), completed his upright transformation the moment he saw the girl, easily defeating her who had already turned to water.
The girl didn’t resist much, accepting the male lead with a mix of invitation and refusal.
The next short story involved the girl staying in the male dormitory, secretly engaging in a small-scale battle with the male lead at night. When the male lead fell asleep from exhaustion, the girl got up to tidy herself in the bathroom, only to be discovered by the villain.
Since the villain’s childhood sweetheart had been claimed by the male lead, his strong desire for revenge surfaced.
Under threat, the girl chose to submit.
And then… it was a happy sex life filled with men, lots of men.
After watching this segment of the plot again, Ning Chu bit her lip and buried her head, covering her phone with the table.
In fact, she believed that with Ning Yang’s virgin personality, even if she was caught self-soothing in the shower, he would just flee in fear.
Moreover, Ling Ling wasn’t pushing Ning Yang, and Zhang Shaoqing’s desire for revenge shouldn’t fall on Ning Yang; their relationship was quite good.
Not running away was also an option.
But didn’t that mean handing over her fate to Ning Yang and Zhang Shaoqing?
That kind of unease…
In this situation, it was better to think everything would turn out badly.
“Ning Chu, what do you want to eat for barbecue?” Zhang Shaoqing came up behind her, handing over his phone. “We’ve already ordered; just see what you want to eat. I’m treating tonight!”
“Why do you look so pitiful?”
Ning Chu bit her lip, not daring to meet Zhang Shaoqing’s gaze.
“Don’t tease her.” Ning Yang returned from the balcony, pulling Zhang Shaoqing aside. “Let’s buy some drinks later, Ning Chu? Want to join us for a few?”
“I don’t drink.”
“Not in a good mood…? Uh, forget it.” Ning Yang scratched his head, smiling bitterly.
He keenly sensed the wariness and resistance in Ning Chu’s eyes, which made him a bit uncomfortable, but for a girl in a boys’ dormitory, being cautious was understandable.
So why would a girl stay in a boys’ dormitory?
It had been two months, and he felt like a fool almost being fooled.
“Ning Yang, I’m going home for a bit tonight.”
“Ah?”
In an instant, the three in the dorm all turned to her.
Ning Chu lowered her head, turning her back to them, softly explaining: “I told you there was a family emergency over the weekend; they called me to come back today.”
“I’ve already bought my ticket, and I just have to grab my luggage and I’m off.”
In reality, she planned to book a single room at a hotel near the school. Late at night, running away wouldn’t be safe.
Ning Yang’s heart sank suddenly as he looked at Ning Chu’s frail back, instinctively trying to hold her back. “How about we wait until the weekend? What’s the rush to go back now?”
“Tomorrow you guys help me take attendance… it’s fine, I’ll be back quickly.” Ning Chu turned away from them, justifying her actions, “There’s an emergency at home, so I needed to rush, no time for leave.”
“…”
Not hearing her roommates’ responses, she paused then couldn’t help but express a bit more reluctance: “While I’m gone, you guys keep an eye on Ning Yang; those pretty girls are after him, and they love to fool him. Don’t let me come back to find him a player already…”
Somewhere along the way, Ning Chu had come to see them as friends, best buddies.
She worried that if she left, the timid and awkward little virgin would become a player, the mischievous Zhang Shaoqing would turn into a wicked villain, and honest Wang Jie would get dragged down into darkness.
“Shaoqing, stop bullying Wang Jie. He’s just honest and doesn’t provoke you; if you take him to bars and these chaotic places, what will happen to him?”
“You… don’t you like cats? Hei Dou can help me take care of one day, don’t be thinking about your childhood sweetheart, there’s always a more suitable cat girl for you.”
As her emotions got heated, Ning Chu spilled too much without realizing it. Afraid of causing her roommates worry, she turned back, showing a bright smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back by tomorrow night!”
“…”
Ning Yang was dumbfounded; he looked at Ning Chu’s smile, like a flower about to wilt in the storm.
He glanced at Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie, who exchanged confused looks.
“I need to use the bathroom.” He gave the two an eye signal.
“I’ll go smoke.”
“I… I’ll go look at the stars.”
The three of them found some lame excuses and left one after the other to the balcony, shutting the door behind them, and immediately gathered together outside.
The thin back door couldn’t completely block out the sounds coming from the balcony.
“Wait! Doesn’t Ning Chu’s words sound like she doesn’t plan to come back? Is that a will?”
“You shut up! It’s definitely your fault for bullying her so much!”
“Shut it! Wang Jie, you need to speak with conscience!”
“Let’s not shift the blame, let’s talk this over…”
Ning Chu helplessly glanced outside the balcony; these three started debating and almost breaking out in fights.
After settling everything she was worried about, she felt carefree, stretched her back, got up, opened the wardrobe, and took out her luggage.
Her suitcase was already filled with several sets of clothes; if something unexpected happened, she could just take off promptly.
But today, there was no rush.
Laptop, toothpaste and toothbrush, towel, power bank, charging cable…
After packing everything, there was still some space left in her suitcase.
Ning Chu crouched down in front of the suitcase, raised her head, and picked up the little toy that Ning Yang won from the ring toss at the amusement park.
Just one would do; anything more wouldn’t fit.
Knock knock knock~ Takeout!
She got up and jogged to the door, opening it to bring in the takeout while calling out to the balcony: “Come in for barbecue!”
“I already said I don’t drink; why did you guys still buy it?”
Ning Chu was busy setting up the small table in the dorm, and her three roommates returned to the room at that moment.
“After we snack, I’m leaving.” She pulled up a chair and continued, “I won’t drink; you guys should drink less too, we still have classes tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Ning Yang sat down beside her, let out a heavy sigh, “I won’t drink tonight either; I need to step out for a bit.”
“!!”
Ning Chu jumped, turning her head to look at him with questioning eyes.
“No! Don’t think too much. I… I have a high school classmate asking me out for an all-nighter double rank.”
Oh sure~ I’m still here! You’re already flirting with someone else! If I had already left, that would be a disaster!
No wonder he’s the male lead! Just a little less supervision and a seductive vixen slips in!
Her instincts kicked in as she protested, “No! You’re not allowed to go!”
But soon, she darkened her expression and turned her head away, “Forget it, do as you like.”
