Chapter 130: 129. Before the Sports Meeting
On Wednesday morning, Ning Chu was woken up by the school broadcast music.
She turned over to grab her phone by the pillow, glancing at the time: it was only 7:30.
“Why is the music playing so early when there’s no class today… What a weirdo~”
She buried her face in the blanket, complaining with all her grumpiness.
“Ning Chu, I’m heading out first.”
Ning Chu suddenly perked up, instantly full of energy as she sat up and turned to see Wen Yang, already dressed in his sports outfit, preparing to leave. “Wait! I’m coming too!”
She hurriedly scrambled down the ladder, afraid Wen Yang would take off without her, but in her panic, she missed a step.
“Ah!”
Wen Yang swiftly rushed back up, supporting Ning Chu with concern. “What’s with the rush? You okay?”
“Ow~ Just bumped my foot.”
He looked down at Ning Chu’s slightly flushed, tender face and couldn’t see any sign of pain.
“Take it slow.”
“Mm…”
Feeling a bit guilty, Ning Chu slowly got to her feet and limped towards the balcony. “I’ll wash up and change, five minutes.”
“Alright.”
She filled her toothbrush cup with water, mindlessly brushing her teeth.
These days, pain always seemed to come with pleasure, and she thought to herself, this can’t go on like this…
Normally, a succubus would only turn pain into pleasure when feeling amorous, but Ning Chu was still in her early development; she didn’t have that feature yet.
In a week or two, she’d be getting her period, and if menstrual cramps turned into continuous pleasure, that would be even worse.
Quickly finishing her wash, she hastily changed her clothes and was ready to head out.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shaoqing was still in bed playing on his phone, and Wang Jie was still snoring away.
“Why are you guys going out so early?”
Ning Chu followed Wen Yang out of the dormitory.
“The counselor asked the class committee to set up our resting area early,” Wen Yang yawned repeatedly. “Just moving tables and chairs, and water, you know.”
“Oh~ Do you have any events today?”
“One 400 meters, one long jump, a relay tomorrow afternoon, and a 3,000-meter run the day after that.”
“Wow, you’re quite the honest one…”
Wen Yang was the only one who reported a bunch of events honestly.
And each event might attract a swarm of fangirls from the entire school.
What a headache.
After chatting for a bit, the two arrived at the teaching building.
A few tables and chairs, along with some boxes of water, were scattered around in the open area. The class committee was already there, preparing to move the stuff to the playground.
Yan Xinya spotted them and, suddenly energized, rushed towards Ning Chu, wrapping her arms around her waist. She sniffed at Ning Chu’s face amiably before loudly greeting her.
“Morning!”
Ning Chu wasn’t used to close contact with girls, but Yan Xinya’s affection reminded her of a friendly puppy from her neighbor’s house back in the day.
Thankfully, Wolf Girl’s greeting style was just sniffing her face, not chasing her tail.
Thus, she instinctively ruffled the little wolf girl’s head and gently pushed her away. “Morning.”
Wen Yang turned his head away, a bit jealous. After knowing Ning Chu for so long, he had never dared to touch her waist; the closest thing they had shared was holding hands.
Yan Xinya seemed to catch a hint of jealousy and teased Wen Yang playfully, “Don’t worry! I won’t steal Ning Chu from you~ I don’t like girls!”
She was all about playing matchmaker for the pair of tsundere straight boys! There was no way she’d steal Ning Chu!
Wen Yang pretended he didn’t hear her, walking over to lift a table by himself.
“Ning Chu, you wanna help?”
“Sure.”
Yan Xinya effortlessly carried two boxes of water with ease.
Meanwhile, Ning Chu struggled to carry just one box.
Watching Wen Yang walk ahead, she struggled to keep up with Yan Xinya and curiously asked, “Where’s Lily?”
“Oh her~ She was hiding under the covers last night doing something bad~ She’ll probably sleep until noon today.”
“……”
“Good thing it’s the sports meet today; she can hide in the dorm without any problems.”
With a dog nose around, it’s easy for anything to be discovered.
No wonder Lily, with her social anxiety, got along well with Yan Xinya; her aloof façade had long been shattered.
“Xinya, what events do you have today?”
“Just one sprint.”
Ning Chu nodded. “Alright, come find me after you’re done.”
“Hm?”
“I’m worried Wen Yang will have too many fangirls during his competition… just like during gym class last week.” She sighed, feeling stressed. “Lily probably won’t be able to help us; she’s too shy and still sleeping.”
Since the start of the semester, Ning Chu only had four roommates, plus Wolf Girl and the succubus as friends.
She couldn’t rely on the succubus, and there was no way to count on Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie.
The only reliable one turned out to be the Wolf Girl.
Yan Xinya immediately took it seriously, frowning. “That could be quite troublesome. If those bad women suddenly rush toward Wen Yang, we won’t be able to do anything!”
“We’ll just do our best.”
After all, Wen Yang would surely be thrilled regardless.
Ning Chu pursed her lips, imagining a scene where a crowd of girls surrounded Wen Yang, feeling utterly put out.
Why isn’t she the main character? That treatment should be hers!
“No worries! I’ll think of something~” Yan Xinya pouted, “It’s all Wen Yang’s fault for being too handsome, attracting all these flowers.”
Well, he is the male lead after all~
Even without the main character halo, just tossing Wen Yang into the girls’ dorm would cause a screaming frenzy.
The group arrived at a shaded area by the playground, set up the tables and chairs a bit, and wrapped up the work.
Wen Yang came over to Ning Chu. “Want to go have breakfast?”
“Sure.”
He looked at Ning Chu with an anxious expression and helplessly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t attract attention.”
“Let’s hope so…”
Why didn’t she think about this when signing up for the sports meet?
She should’ve stopped Wen Yang from registering back then.
“Wen Yang!”
Just a few steps away from the playground, they were suddenly approached by a flirty girl.
This girl was dressed in a short skirt and short sleeves, her slim waist and long legs on full display. With pom-poms raised high, dressed as a cheerleader, she called out to Wen Yang, “Good luck with the competition!”
Wow! The sports meet hasn’t even started yet, and they already have a cheerleader for Wen Yang!
Wen Yang’s eyes widened in surprise, smiling shyly. “Thanks.”
Ning Chu shot a glare at the smug Lin Li, then turned to Wen Yang fiercely. “What are you thanking her for? She’s trying to drug you!”
Wen Yang awkwardly rubbed his nose.
“Eyes wide open! Is she that pretty?!”
“Uh, reasonable, I guess…”
If only Ning Chu was dressed like that too~
“Reasonable?!” Ning Chu shouted, raising her voice.
But the truth was, she was really pretty!
Wen Yang, unwillingly, didn’t dare look into Ning Chu’s eyes, shaking his head. “Not pretty at all.”
“Nah!”
