Chapter 200: A Satisfying Birthday
Ning Chu stood on her toes, her gaze crossing over Wen Yang’s shoulder to the bathroom door, where Yan Xinya poked her head out, a smile on her face that radiated pure happiness.
Upon noticing their gaze, the Wolf Girl let out a tiny gasp and quickly hid behind the wall, but her two perky wolf ears gave away her location.
Frozen in place, she felt a rush of embarrassment wash over her, as if caught in the act. Quickly, she bowed her head and buried her face into Wen Yang’s chest.
Tap tap tap — hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor as Lily dashed over, spotting Wen Yang and Ning Chu in an embrace. Her mouth dropped open in shock before she quickly regained her composure, her cheeks turning slightly pink as she stiffly backed away.
“……”
The momentary intimacy that had just been there dissipated like a puff of smoke.
Wen Yang certainly couldn’t continue his lovey-dovey moments with Ning Chu under the scrutiny of others, but he bent down and stole a glance at her face, which seemed even more alluring due to her embarrassment. He gently pressed a kiss on her forehead.
“Let’s head back; we can talk about what just happened later.”
“I just need to use the bathroom…”
Released from his embrace, Ning Chu bolted into a stall like a startled rabbit.
Wen Yang watched her hurried retreat, possessiveness practically bursting from his eyes.
If Ning Chu wanted to drink in the future, it would only be with him, just the two of them.
He didn’t want anyone seeing Ning Chu in her defenseless, adorably clueless state; that version of Ning Chu was his and his alone.
“Ah~ what a pity.”
Yan Xinya sighed, having hoped to witness something scandalous.
If only she hadn’t invited Lily to join them for some sugar-coated fun.
She entered the ladies’ room and noticed Wen Yang shooting her a displeased look, making her awkwardly avert her gaze and hide in the stall.
Wen Yang shook his head helplessly.
Stepping out of the bathroom and toward the sink, he pondered the mystery of Ning Chu.
She had somehow transformed into a girl after starting college…
No wonder he couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation for why she lived in the boys’ dorm.
After all, Ning Chu would never do something like that.
This also explained why Ning Chu’s outfits in the dorm had become increasingly modest — starting off with just underwear and a top, showing off her long legs, to now wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and an outer jacket, practically covered from head to toe.
So… Ning Chu’s family was completely unaware of this matter.
That made him the first to know about Ning Chu’s secret. No wonder she always referred to him as the “male lead.”
Wen Yang felt a little anxious about Ning Chu’s plans to return home over the weekend.
“Are you together now?”
In an unexpected moment, Lily actively inquired.
“Yeah.”
“That’s nice…” She lowered her head, hiding her envy of Ning Chu.
She had been hoping to cultivate a succubus with similar interests!
“I remember you hated guys, right?”
“Not really fond of them.”
Lily was quite attractive, even more so than Ning Chu, with striking features and a figure that completely overshadowed Ning Chu’s. But Wen Yang merely glanced at her before continuing to play on his phone, utterly disinterested.
Better to nurture…
Ning Chu exited the bathroom with Yan Xinya, a slight flush on her cheeks as she came to Wen Yang’s side. “Let’s go.”
“Don’t rush! Give him a kiss first!”
Yan Xinya, who had been drunkenly out of it just moments ago, was now buzzing with excitement, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Do it! Hurry up!”
“Stop it!” Ning Chu shot her an annoyed glare, her face growing even redder.
“Then let’s continue your birthday celebration~ Ning Chu! I’ll drink with you later!”
“No, I think I’ve had enough already…”
As the drunkenness began to fade, she started to realize how outrageous she had been earlier.
She had pulled down her pants in front of Wen Yang…
“It’s fine! If you’re drunk, I’ll pay for you to get a hotel room!”
“Are you trying to coax Wen Yang into bed with me?”
The moment she said it, her face turned crimson, and she wished she could slap herself.
Why did her thoughts spill out without a filter?
No more drinking ever again!
Yan Xinya giggled, while Wen Yang pretended not to hear.
They returned to the private room they had just been in, and Zhang Shaoqing looked up, exclaiming, “Did Ning Chu fall into a drunken pit? She’s been in the bathroom for nearly twenty minutes.”
Being drunk already made her face red, so her embarrassment went unnoticed, and he teased, “Having a birthday party, but half the people are missing! What gives?”
“I had an upset stomach…” Ning Chu sat down next to Yan Xinya, now careful not to cling too much to Wen Yang.
She worried that if she got too intimate while drunk, Zhang Shaoqing would catch on.
“By the way, happy birthday.” Zhang Shaoqing lifted his glass, clinking it through the air to hers.
“Uh-huh, thanks.”
Ning Chu poured herself some cola.
“Cola? Who do you think you are?! Come on! Chug a bottle!”
“???”
With her drinking capacity, downing a whole bottle might mean hitting the floor unconscious straight away.
“Come on, we’re drinking together! Ning Chu has cola.” Wen Yang stood up with his glass in hand.
One by one, Yan Xinya, Lily, Wang Jie, Zhang Shaoqing, all lifted their glasses and gathered around the table, looking at a slightly flustered Ning Chu.
Why was this suddenly so formal?!
“Happy Birthday!”
Ning Chu hurriedly stood up, grabbing her glass, and anxiously downed her drink alongside everyone else.
“Thanks…”
It had been years since she celebrated her birthday, and she hadn’t made close friends in quite some time.
She never expected to celebrate such a long-awaited birthday in the Small Royal Text world, making a few close friends in just a couple of months… even if they all seemed a bit unreliable.
And on her birthday, she gained a boyfriend…
“I added two more dishes; it’s Ning Chu’s birthday today, eat up!”
Ning Chu’s drinking capacity was quite poor, so she had switched to cola, fearful that Yan Xinya would force her into a hotel room.
Though she trusted Wen Yang wouldn’t take advantage of her.
Even if something did happen, like them running into each other while she was taking a bath, she was confident Wen Yang wouldn’t operate like in the stories.
A smile of joy remained on her face as she reached for the jewelry box in her pocket, casting a loving glance towards Wen Yang, but worried Zhang Shaoqing or Wang Jie might notice, she redirected her attention to the food on the table.
“Ning Chu~ you guys must have kissed, right?” Yan Xinya leaned closer, a hopeful look on her face. “What was it like?”
“It felt…”
Her mind would involuntarily go blank, her heart would race, and warmth would flood through her entire being. It was as if they were one, wholly possessing each other.
Tears might even flow…
Ning Chu opened her mouth, almost spilling the beans.
“Here, drink some more wine before you tell us~”
She understood Yan Xinya’s intent and swiftly pushed the Wolf Girl away. “Get off me!”
Just when she finally calmed down from her tipsiness, this girl was trying to get her drunk again!
“Don’t!~”
Lily had already placed a bottle of wine in front of Ning Chu, sitting there like a diligent student ready for class.
“You girls find your own boyfriends to experience it!”
