Chapter 185: Gotcha!
Ning Chu basically confirmed that at some point, she really had developed feelings for Wen Yang.
But that man’s heart still protested strongly during their close interactions; years of male experience wouldn’t just vanish from her memory in a matter of months.
Occasionally giving Wen Yang a little benefit, allowing him to take advantage of her was something she could just about accept. But if it turned into something like being pinned against the wall and…
shudders Thinking about that scene was terrifying!
Maybe by that time, she’d be on cloud nine, shouting for more…
She absolutely couldn’t descend to that level! That was too scary!
Casting a wary glance at Wen Yang in front of her computer, Ning Chu started to suspect that this guy was already thinking about how to trick her into giving in.
“You’re spacing out again.”
“Oh!”
She quickly focused on the game, but her mind was still a chaotic mess.
What was going on!?
Initially, her intention to rein in Wen Yang and disrupt the plot was to avoid turning into a ‘girl’, to prevent that scene from happening, to avoid being treated like a public bus.
But now she was a complete ‘girl,’ even psychologically leaning that way. She had fallen for Wen Yang, and after a series of ridiculous operations, she found herself inching closer to that bathroom scene.
The only thing to be happy about was that Zhang Shaoqing still didn’t know her gender, so even if that bathroom scene happened, it was unlikely to lead to him treating her like a guy.
No, that was hardly something to feel happy about!
Just a shift from a public bus to a private car! Either way, she was still getting taken for a ride!
“Wen Yang!”
After lots of deliberation, Ning Chu felt that the risk of two lonely souls spending the night together was just too great.
“Can I sleep at Xinya’s dorm tonight?”
“Hmm?” Wen Yang looked up at her, “Have you finished writing your self-reflection?”
“Didn’t I ask you to write it?”
“After this game ends, three thousand words, right?”
Ning Chu paused: “This isn’t about self-reflection! I’m going to sleep at Xinya’s dorm tonight!”
“Why? Are you trying to guard against me?” Wen Yang flashed a harmless smile, “Do I look like that kind of easygoing guy?”
“…”
Ning Chu pondered.
He really didn’t seem like it…
After over two months of training and brainwashing, Wen Yang was no longer the kind of playboy described in books.
He had only acted flirtatious once recently, and even though he faced punishment for disrupting the plot at night, he managed to hold it together… But if he didn’t hold up, she might end up taking advantage of him.
Just then, the game ended, and Wen Yang pulled out paper and a pen from his drawer, starting to write the self-reflection for Ning Chu.
“Tonight it’ll just be the two of us, and if you leave, this big dorm will only have me left.” He scribbled while trying to persuade Ning Chu, “We’ve known each other for so long; don’t you know what kind of guy I am by now?”
Hiss~ Why does that sound so much like a scam?
“Okay… I’ll stay in the dorm.” Ning Chu hesitated and nodded.
Wen Yang sighed in relief.
“Invite Xinya and Lily over tonight!”
“……”
Wen Yang choked on his own words, coughing several times.
He hoped Yan Xinya was a bit more self-aware! Maybe read a little bit about ‘Emotional Intelligence’!
“I’ll message her to come over. Think of some activities to make it lively tonight~”
Seeing Wen Yang’s defeated look made Ning Chu want to laugh. Delightfully clutching her phone, she shot Yan Xinya an invitation.
Then she remembered the cooking tools in Wolf Girl’s dorm and suggested, “How about we have hot pot in the dorm tonight? I’ll go buy some ingredients at the supermarket later.”
Wen Yang had been wanting to thank Yan Xinya for taking care of Ning Chu these past few days: “That works, and we can also use Shaoqing’s computer to stream movies and shows.”
Zhang Shaoqing was the only tycoon in the dorm with an external monitor. His screen was over thirty inches, and he reportedly bought it for five or six thousand.
“Got it.”
Ning Chu’s invitation was quickly confirmed by Yan Xinya.
“Remember to bring the electric stove and pot; we’re having hot pot tonight.” She typed, “Also invite Lily, but skip Lin Li.”
That vixen still had her eyes on Wen Yang’s body; there was no way she could let that bad woman get close to him!
After confirming the plans with Yan Xinya for the night, Ning Chu stood up, closed her laptop, and turned to Wen Yang: “I’m going to the supermarket.”
“I’ll finish this section first.”
She leaned over Wen Yang’s shoulder to peek at the self-reflection: “You wrote that fast!”
Not only was it fast, but it was also legible.
If it were Ning Chu writing, hers would likely look like garbled ghost writing.
“Just practicing taking notes in class.”
After finishing a section, Wen Yang put down his pen, casually grabbed a jacket from the side, “Which supermarket are we going to?”
“Probably the one off-campus; the outside supermarket has more stuff.”
After tidying up a bit, the two headed out.
Ning Chu was only wearing flip-flops, exposing her fair, cute toes. It was only now she had time to check out the nails Wen Yang had trimmed for her. They were smooth and round; he had done a nice job, no doubt about it.
She wouldn’t have done nearly as well herself; she would have just done it haphazardly.
“How about you just be in charge of my nails from now on?” She quickened her pace to walk beside Wen Yang, teasingly said.
“Sure.”
As a foot enthusiast, Wen Yang was quite pleased.
He glanced again at Ning Chu’s slender, delicate fingers, akin to jade, and was overjoyed.
Ning Chu was somewhat well-known in the boys’ dorm. Classmates on the same floor knew she was a “man,” but as they walked down, every student who saw her instinctively looked up to check her out.
It was clear they regarded her as a girl secretly living in the boys’ dorm.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if I got reported someday.” Ning Chu stuffed her hands in her pockets, feeling a bit displeased with those gazes.
Wen Yang recalled how Ning Chu looked back at the start of school, with that innocent face, and then looked at the now natural beauty who didn’t wear makeup and had hardly dressed up, yet could rival a flower with her ethereal looks.
From an unnoticed boy to a stunning girl in just a little over two months.
If Ning Chu put on makeup, she might even contest for the title of school beauty.
Truly a succubus; the changes during the developmental phase could be so dramatic…
Wen Yang suddenly curiously asked, “So, why were you living in the boys’ dorm back then?”
“……”
Ning Chu halted her steps.
Why was everyone asking her unanswerable questions today?!
Was she really supposed to say that she used to be a man over a month ago? Either Wen Yang would think she was crazy or he’d believe she’d gone to Thailand for surgery!
She learned from experience and replied vaguely: “You’ll find out later.”
Instead of answering directly, she’d rather let Wen Yang imagine it.
Walking down the path away from the school, the more Ning Chu thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Why did it always have to be Wen Yang who left her speechless?
Shift gears and launch a counterattack! She decided to fire a lethal question at Wen Yang: “Wen Yang, what do you like about me?”
“……”
Wen Yang awkwardly scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words.
That made Ning Chu’s nose flare with pride as she snorted twice: “Hmph~”
She knew how to handle this type of guy!
