Chapter 296: Good Night
The night was deep, and the temperature dropped nearly ten degrees from the day.
During the day, it was just over ten degrees, but by night, it was only four or five.
Ning Chu’s hands were almost frozen numb, but wearing gloves made it impossible to use her phone, let alone type her novel.
Even at home, she was dressed warmly, still wearing the coat and scarf she had on for class.
Her hands felt as cold as ice, rigidly typing on the keyboard, and she couldn’t help but complain, “So cold~”
“The coldest it gets at my place is about three to five degrees… My hands are freezing.”
Wen Yang was only wearing a thin sweater and long pants, not feeling cold at all.
He was chatting with Zhang Shaoqing in the dorm group about how to pursue the cat girl teacher when he heard the little succubus’s complaint and looked up to advise, “Buy a pair of fingerless gloves; it shouldn’t affect your typing too much, right?”
“How is that any different? My fingers are cold too!”
“My feet are freezing too~”
Wen Yang immediately abandoned Zhang Shaoqing, put down his phone, and got up to walk towards the bathroom. “I’ll go get you a basin of hot water for your feet.”
“Okay~”
Tomorrow was the weekend, and it was already past midnight. Yet, Ning Chu still didn’t feel sleepy.
She wanted to use this time to write some drafts to avoid affecting her final exam review.
The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Ning Chu clasped her hands together, breathed into her palms, rubbed her hands together, and muttered softly, “I wonder if Shaoqing’s plot will affect me.”
“When he wasn’t darkening, I already endured the punishment for him not turning into a villain, right?”
Though she was gradually getting used to it, she still disliked that feeling of rationality slipping away when she felt romantic.
It always made her worry that she might not be able to resist devouring Wen Yang.
Even if she did, that would be fine, but if she couldn’t eat him, that would be terrible…
Ning Chu leaned back in her chair, gently swaying her legs while checking the messages Zhang Shaoqing sent her.
“You’re a girl too, befriend Teacher Qian Qian! Be my wingman!”
“If you succeed, I’ll give you a big red envelope!”
She pouted in confusion and said, “She’s not that pretty to the point of exceeding her age and status, right? Why is he so fixated?”
Maybe this was what they called love at first sight, a perfect blend of appearance and XP?
The so-called dream lover?
She typed back, “Does your mom agree? She’s much older than you, and she’s still a teacher.”
“I’ve checked; she’s an intern teacher. Just need to score during the internship, right?”
“My mom’s situation is even simpler, just fly far away!”
Ning Chu nearly burst into laughter at Zhang Shaoqing’s childish ideas.
This guy couldn’t even manage to be independent, yet his mind was filled with these unrealistic thoughts. The last time he lost his living expenses, who do you think went to apologize with his tail between his legs?
“What’s wrong?” Wen Yang placed the basin of water next to Ning Chu.
“Shaoqing is so childish~”
He glanced at the chat between Zhang Shaoqing and Ning Chu, paused, and rephrased, “It’s called idealism; it’s a good thing.”
“Help me wash my feet!” Ning Chu lifted her foot and playfully shoved it toward Wen Yang’s face. “Smell! Is there a smell?”
“Why don’t you smell it yourself?”
“I’m afraid it stinks!”
Wen Yang leaned back, making a disgusted face. “Stinks to high heaven, wash it quickly.”
“Really?”
Ning Chu quickly pulled her legs back and bent down to sniff, “It doesn’t smell at all.”
“Take off your socks.”
“Are you really going to help me wash?” She shot Wen Yang a glance and took off her socks, tossing them casually onto a nearby shelf. “No perks for you.”
Her delicate little feet cautiously tested the water, and just as her toes touched the surface, she instinctively pulled her legs back with a shiver.
“It’s a bit hot.”
“No way? I tested the water temperature; it should be just right.”
“You’ll get used to it; it will be fine.”
Ning Chu bit her lip, nervously leaning over to test the water temperature with her hand. The water felt fine, but her feet didn’t agree.
“Yikes! So hot!”
I have to say, the little succubus’s feet truly looked good enough to be a foot model.
Although Wen Yang had a mild foot fetish, he couldn’t help but let his gaze drift to Ning Chu’s feet.
White, tender, and adorable.
He leaned against the side of the table, watching Ning Chu repeatedly test the water temperature, and only a few minutes later did she finally immerse both feet in the water.
“Ning Chu, where do you want to buy a house in the future?”
“Buying a house… depends on where I work, I guess?”
Ning Chu leaned her hands on the table, resting her chin in her hand, hesitating as she replied, “I prefer big cities, but commuting in a big city is too far.”
“If only I could make a living just by writing novels~ I could choose some small county, find a leisurely job, work during the day, and type at night.”
“But if it’s a small city, you’ll have issues with work too.”
She lifted her head, pleasantly fantasizing, “Who knows, maybe in a few years, my dad I’ve never met will suddenly come back with a fortune! Just as he returns, he drops dead, and I immediately become a billionaire~”
“Fatherly love and filial daughter.”
“He’s never raised me; if he really appears in front of me, I wouldn’t even be able to call out ‘dad’.” She lowered her eyes and mumbled, “Better if he doesn’t come back…”
Though deep down she yearned for a father, that had been a childhood thought.
Now that she was an adult, she didn’t want an unexpected father disrupting her and her mother’s life.
Things were good as they were.
Wen Yang ruffled her little head. “After soaking your feet, go to bed and don’t think about these random things.”
“Mm.”
The water had cooled down; Ning Chu took the towel Wen Yang handed her to dry off. After soaking her feet, they felt noticeably warmer and no longer icy.
Stretching her back, yawning as she saved and closed the document on her computer, she lay in bed playing with her phone.
The dorm group had some new files added. Zhang Shaoqing had somehow found tutorials on “How to Flirt with Girls” and “How to Pursue Girls.”
This guy is serious.
Since they met, Zhang Shaoqing’s only concern had been that his childhood sweetheart got snatched, and now he had another thing on his plate.
Dating a teacher…
As long as this guy didn’t resort to any shady methods, Ning Chu was okay with it.
“Did I turn off the lights?”
“Yeah.”
Wen Yang turned off the lights in the room and lay down beside Ning Chu.
The pitch-black room was so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, but he could clearly feel the warmth radiating from the body behind him.
Ning Chu lay flat, reaching to pull Wen Yang’s arm under her head as a pillow.
“You don’t even know how to主动给我当枕头 now.”
“My arm hurts…”
“You don’t love me anymore~”
“Uh…” Wen Yang found himself at a loss for words.
Ning Chu burst into laughter, rolling over to hug Wen Yang’s waist, lifting her thighs and pressing down on his legs, as if hugging a giant plush toy.
“Good night~”
With her soft figure embracing him, Wen Yang couldn’t help but react, but in no time, Ning Chu’s breath became heavy and regular.
After a moment of silence, he looked down, swept Ning Chu’s bangs aside, and softly kissed the little succubus’s forehead.
“Good night.”
