Chapter 172: Group Dinner
After dawdling in the bathroom for half an hour, Ning Chu finally returned to the dormitory, worn out and sore.
She faced the teasing smiles of Yan Xinya and Lin Li, too ashamed to lift her head.
Even though she was hiding in the bathroom, it was still the talk of the town…
Sure enough! Even if she had to move into the girls’ dormitory in the future, it had to be full of normal girls, not beast-eared ones!
Otherwise, anything she did would be discovered immediately, and as a succubus, how could she survive like that!
“Let’s go!” Yan Xinya wrapped an arm around Ning Chu, “Succubus are just trouble~ Gotta eat first before we head out for dinner~”
Excuse me?
If Wen Yang really ran into that shameless girl on the bus, she’d definitely have to face a third punishment tonight, probably losing her mind temporarily.
At least in the girls’ dormitory, if something weird happened, she could hide in the bathroom, and if she lost her mind, it wouldn’t matter as much. No worries about suddenly pouncing on a guy.
But that wolf girl insisted on going out for dinner because it was her birthday!
Either embarrassing herself in the dormitory or losing her mind outside and chasing after men… Ning Chu certainly chose the former!
Her cheeks were flushed, and even walking made her tremble a bit, leaning half against Yan Xinya: “Give me a moment…”
“You two are just odd,” Lin Li said, propped up on the desk with a small handbag, “Why not be straightforward like other succubi, just give up the resistance? Wouldn’t that make life easier?”
Ning Chu shot her a glare: “No way!”
Lily nearby nodded her head: “Yep.”
“Ning Chu is Wen Yang’s!” the CP leader rebutted.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
In retrospect, she hadn’t known these girls for very long.
Although Yan Xinya was the “culprit” behind Ning Chu transforming into a girl, she was like a golden retriever, increasingly close and clingy.
As for Lily, she was in almost the same situation. Just the other day, she tried to share some little toys with Ning Chu, and they got along well.
So when they headed out, on Ning Chu’s left was Yan Xinya clinging to her arm, and on the right was Lily playfully swinging her hand, finally grasping what it meant to be embraced by women.
Too bad the trio formed a “harem” instead of a romantic trio.
Having gotten used to interacting only with women, she felt no emotional upheaval, instead thinking these two were quite annoying.
Lin Li walked behind, watching the tightly-knit trio ahead, suddenly feeling like an outsider.
After all, Ning Chu was just staying temporarily…
The four of them took a taxi, heading to a mall half an hour away.
It was at this mall that Ning Chu and Wen Yang had watched a movie, and Wen Yang confessed under Yan Xinya’s encouragement.
The nightlife had just begun, and this commercial area was packed with people. Ning Chu felt more and more nervous, unconsciously inching closer to Yan Xinya.
She should have known better than to wear Wen Yang’s clothes.
She squeezed the hypnosis spray in her jacket pocket and looked at her friends on either side, feeling a bit more at ease.
But it didn’t work as well as when Wen Yang was nearby.
Yan Xinya was clearly in a good mood, her ears perked up excitedly, tail swaying back and forth, occasionally brushing against Ning Chu’s behind.
“Let’s go! Today’s costs are split evenly~”
“Mmhm.”
“Ning Ning~ what do you want to eat?”
That nickname…
Ning Chu felt goosebumps rising on her arms, her scalp tingling.
She simply wasn’t used to such nicknames.
Yan Xinya had a big appetite and wasn’t from a wealthy family. Saying they would eat well led them to a barbecue buffet.
With an average cost of sixty-nine, which included drinks and desserts.
“What do you two want to drink?” Yan Xinya asked while piling a high stack of meat on the table.
“Coke, the classic.”
“Orange juice.”
“Mm! Hurry up grilling; Lin Li’s already taken a lot!”
Ning Chu and Lily handled the grilling, while Yan Xinya and Lin Li were responsible for fetching and eating, so they had a clear division of labor.
However, Ning Chu wasn’t particularly excited. She tried to maintain a faint smile while resting her chin on her hand, staring at the sizzling grill, her mind wandering to thoughts of Wen Yang.
I wonder what Wen Yang is doing now.
Calculating the time, he should still be on the bus, right?
Suddenly, she missed Wen Yang…
Not out of fear of meeting a creep, but simply because it had been a few hours since she last saw him, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
Still three days and four nights left.
She felt a splatter of hot oil hit the back of her hand, pulling her hand back in a panic.
“Be careful.” Lily said coolly.
“Mm.”
Ning Chu glanced at Yan Xinya, who seemed to have endless energy, excitedly running around the buffet area, already covering the small table with one plate after another of raw meat. Lin Li sat obediently, starting with a plate of fried noodles to fill her stomach.
“Let’s just grab this much for now! Are there any grilled meats yet?”
Yan Xinya plopped down, eyeing the grill in anticipation: “Is this ready to eat yet~”
“Mm.”
With Lily’s answer, they both quickly grabbed their chopsticks, and in no time, the grilled meat had vanished.
“Ning Chu~ you’re zoning out again! It’s my birthday! Be happy!”
“How can she be happy without Wen Yang here?” Lin Li teased, “She’s here celebrating your birthday, but her heart is with Wen Yang~”
Ning Chu’s mouth twitched: “I am not.”
“I…”
She wanted to argue, but a burning sensation shot through her lower abdomen, and her expression changed, her body tensing up.
Sure enough! Wen Yang had encountered the seductive fox from the plot on the bus!
Panicking, she glanced around. There weren’t too many customers in the buffet, and she was sitting in a booth, the high back of the chair shielding her from others’ sight.
It should be fine…
The heat in her body wasn’t that intense; after all, she’d eaten and drunk enough before leaving.
Interestingly, Ning Chu managed to keep her expression steady, though she sat a bit too rigidly. Her cheeks had a slight flush, but it was significantly better than her previous reactions.
That said, if a man showed up and tried to flirt now, it would definitely add fuel to the fire.
Don’t let any creeps show up now!
Yan Xinya and Lin Li, however, were completely oblivious; they were too distracted by the rich aroma of the grilled meat. Lily was focused on grilling too.
On the surface, Ning Chu maintained a gentle smile, occasionally chatting with the others, but her body was tense, even her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
Fortunately, she had prepared ahead of time.
But without Wen Yang around, who knows when he’d run into a plot character next!
Ning Chu could only think about quickly returning, avoiding further embarrassment outside.
Being embarrassed wasn’t the problem; it was the fear of creeps trying to take advantage of her.
“After we finish eating, let’s hit up KTV!”
“!!!”
