Chapter 219: 218. Tail [19/40]
For quite a long time to come, Ning Chu would be living here.
Explaining to her roommates that she was staying in the girls’ dormitory… With her pretty face, it was quite reasonable to mix with the girls, right?
She needed to coordinate with Yan Xinya and Lily in advance for a unified story.
Ning Chu lowered her head and messaged the two to explain the situation.
Her mother wouldn’t be able to come help with the school registration change for about a month, and changing the school registration would likely take some time… In any case, she would probably be living in the rental apartment for the entire semester.
With a rent of six hundred and fifty dollars a month, plus internet and utility bills, her expenses had increased by a thousand bucks.
Relying solely on her brother’s meager salary definitely wouldn’t cut it, and she felt guilty about it.
Now that she had her own little room, Ning Chu was quite happy to do anything without the fear of being disturbed. The only problem was, what if she had a pervert neighbor?
Before ten minutes could pass, Wen Yang came out of the bathroom.
She looked up and saw that Wen Yang had indeed put on her boxer shorts, but they were a bit loose for her, while clinging tightly to Wen Yang, almost as if they might split open any moment, outlining nearly all the details below for Wen Yang. Just a glance made her face flush, and she quickly diverted her gaze to the side.
Is he normally this alarming…?
Wen Yang wore only those boxer shorts, his muscles well-defined but not overly exaggerated like a fitness fanatic, and his face was also flushed. Seeing Ning Chu shy away, he hurriedly put on his pants while still shirtless.
“Are you not cold?”
“Nope…”
“It’s time to sleep. Pull the curtains closed.”
Ning Chu didn’t care that her hair was still damp. She shuffled to the head of the bed, switched off the light, and the room plunged into darkness.
Without a blanket or pillow, she could only curl up, resting her head on her own little arm and turning her back to Wen Yang.
In the dark, she heard the sound of footsteps, and she quickly spoke up: “You sleep on the sofa, or on the floor.”
“The floor has been cleaned; it’s pretty tidy.”
Wen Yang paused and, chuckling ironically, sat on the sofa, gazing at the two-person couch, deep in thought.
Here’s the dilemma: how could he fit his nearly six-foot-four body on this sofa…?
No, the key point is how to reasonably share a bed with Ning Chu.
But if that happened, he might end up tossing and turning all night.
Wen Yang helplessly draped his legs over the sofa arm, shifting his body to find a comfortable sleeping position.
Ning Chu could vaguely see Wen Yang lying down obediently, and a sigh of relief escaped her.
Though she felt a strange sense of anticipation about what it would be like to use Wen Yang as a pillow, she was more worried about being squished into a milky bun.
If it weren’t for the unfamiliar surroundings making her feel insecure, she wouldn’t have let Wen Yang stay in the rental apartment.
Without a blanket, the night was a bit chilly, so Ning Chu had no choice but to grab the jacket on the bedside table and cover herself with it.
The oversized jacket, nearly long enough to cover her thighs, wrapped her up snugly as she curled her legs.
She had been awake since six or seven in the morning, waiting at the certification hall with her mother, shopping, taking two hours of buses back and forth, house hunting with Wen Yang, and finally tidying up the rental apartment… By now, at ten o’clock at night, she was utterly exhausted.
She breathed in Wen Yang’s lingering aroma, her taut nerves quickly relaxing, and her mind soon slipped into a hazy stupor.
Before long, Wen Yang heard Ning Chu’s slightly heavy but even breathing and quickly straightened up, glancing at the bed before stealthily climbing up.
It wasn’t his fault; lying on the sofa was far too uncomfortable.
He could make out Ning Chu’s silhouette lying on her side, curled up under the jacket, looking particularly delicate, like a porcelain doll that could shatter with a touch.
Wen Yang carefully lay down, afraid to move.
It seemed he hadn’t woken Ning Chu?
He subtly shifted closer to her, almost able to feel the warmth radiating from her body.
His heartbeat hastened uncontrollably as he gulped and, moments later, couldn’t resist turning to face her, his trembling hand gently resting on Ning Chu’s waist.
Ning Chu, who had just drifted into light sleep, suddenly jolted awake.
She blinked in shock, sensing the heated palm on her waist, catching a whiff of Wen Yang’s scent.
It’s Wen Yang…
She thought she had triggered some classic delusional plot.
Relieved, her sleepy mind couldn’t process much more, and in a half-asleep state, she voiced her discontent with a soft grunt, gently swatting Wen Yang’s hand away.
Yet the hand, undeterred, tightened around her waist.
That warm body pressed close to her, fully wrapping her in his embrace.
“Don’t bother me; I’m sleeping.”
“I’m just hugging you, not doing anything else,” Wen Yang’s voice was low and hoarse, suppressing his impulses. “The sofa’s too small; I can’t lie down comfortably.”
“Mm…”
Ning Chu yawned and pulled out her arm, which had gone a bit numb, then flopped her head onto Wen Yang’s arm.
Much better~
Though the muscle tone in Wen Yang’s arm was evident, in a relaxed state, his soft and springy muscles were even more comfortable than a pillow.
It wasn’t the first time she had slept next to Wen Yang… Wait! The last time in the dormitory shouldn’t count, right?!
They became a couple on Thursday, and by Sunday night they were already sleeping together. Isn’t that moving too fast?
Would Wen Yang think she’s too easy?
Her brain quickly ran through it, and Ning Chu realized that she was passively accepting things a bit too quickly; the moment Wen Yang showed a hint of assertiveness, she instantly lost her will to resist.
If this continues, it wouldn’t be long before things got out of hand!
Her hazy mind cleared up a bit, and then she felt a freshly baked sweet potato pressed against her bottom.
“…”
Yikes! Am I going to get into trouble tonight?!
Ning Chu’s eyes widened, her breath held, fully daring not to move.
At this moment, if she twisted her bottom to escape, it would only make things worse.
“Stay away from me…” Ning Chu bit her lip and protested, “It’s uncomfortable.”
Wen Yang awkwardly shifted back a bit.
Thank goodness he’s just a naive little virgin…
If it were some seasoned guy, she would probably be pinned down by now.
But being held by Wen Yang and pressed against that warm body felt so good…
Especially since there wasn’t even a blanket right now, in the chilly autumn night, temperature was barely ten degrees; without a blanket for warmth, at least she had a boyfriend to keep her warm.
“Don’t move around.” Wen Yang, however, voiced his objections.
“Huh?”
“Your hair is tickling my nose.”
“Mm.”
Ning Chu yawned, her face nestled against Wen Yang’s arm, comfortably closing her eyes.
Wen Yang’s urges gradually waned; he quietly gazed at the back of Ning Chu’s head, admiring her delicate neck, listening to the distant sounds of barking dogs and meowing cats… When his tumultuous heart calmed down, he simply appreciated his girlfriend in his arms; this atmosphere made him treasure the moment.
Staying in this beautiful moment felt just fine.
He leaned down, resting his forehead against the back of Ning Chu’s head, whispering, “Good night.”
“Okay, good night.”
“I love you…”
Ning Chu nearly melted, but she pursed her lips and mumbled, “Gross, so cheesy.”
She wanted to respond to Wen Yang, but suddenly felt a hand catch her tail, causing her to shudder. The words she was about to say turned into a soft moan.
“What’s this?”
“Tail, tail…”
