Chapter 392. Bad Idea
“Why bother? It makes me sound like I’ve eaten a person…”
“You can always come to me if you need anything, I’ll help with whatever I can, anything at all~”
An An teased with a smile as she pushed open the office door: “Come on in.”
Ning Chu timidly followed Wen Yang into the office.
Inside, another teacher was working. She glanced up at the newcomers and greeted, “An An, you just became a counselor, feel free to ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
“Okay~”
Looks like this female ghost has pretty good social skills.
Wait, that teacher isn’t also a ghost, is she?
Ning Chu suspiciously eyed the middle-aged teacher, but after staring for a while, couldn’t spot anything off.
Following An An to the desk, she felt somewhat distracted.
This ghost really turned over a new leaf?
But then again, thinking carefully, An An didn’t seem to have done anything particularly terrible? Just loved to flirt around with men; the only incident reported in the school forum was a timid boy who got frightened by a suddenly appearing female ghost and sprained his ankle.
At most, she’s just a ghost with a messy private life?
Ning Chu instinctively edged closer to Wen Yang, vigilant as she watched An An.
“I never force anyone, and I have no interest in your little boyfriend, so don’t be so nervous.” An An said as she dug out a seal from her drawer, “You ain’t got class later, do you? Here, stamp the student ID, first year, second semester, don’t mess it up.”
“???”
Wen Yang remained silent for a moment before speaking up, “I don’t want to be class president.”
“You’re not gonna do it? Why? Scared of me? Where am I supposed to find another class president now?”
“I think Yan Xinya is more suitable, and you seem to know her.”
“That silly Husky?”
Ning Chu suddenly felt a connection with An An.
So there are others who think Yan Xinya is a Husky and not a wolf!
“Yan Xinya isn’t capable like you!”
“!!!”
She exploded in anger, quickly dragging Wen Yang behind her and glaring furiously.
“???”
An An was momentarily stunned, then turned to Wen Yang with a puzzled expression: “What’s your girlfriend got in her head?”
“This…”
Ning Chu’s ears turned red out of embarrassment, and she awkwardly turned away.
It’s not that her thoughts were dirty, she was just overly wary of the female ghost; this was related to her boyfriend’s reputation!
An An sighed helplessly and waved her hand, “Alright, just help me out first, let Xinya take the class president position.”
“An An, it’s time for the meeting.”
“Okay~”
Another teacher in the office called out, and An An immediately stood up, grabbed a briefcase, and instructed, “Just leave it there when you’re done, remember to close the door when you leave.”
“I’m off to the meeting now,” she said.
Soon, only Wen Yang and Ning Chu were left in the office.
The two exchanged glances, and after a brief moment, Wen Yang asked, “Why do I feel like this ghost is pretty easy to talk to?”
“Maybe it’s just a disguise!”
Ning Chu saw through the truth: “Our first counselor, what was their name… They were also very amiable until secretly trying to get handsy with Xinya!”
“If it weren’t for Xinya practicing and pinning him to the table, that Husky wouldn’t be clean!”
“True.”
People often don’t show their true selves, especially ghosts.
Now An An seemed friendly and approachable; who knows what she’d do to male students later!
Ning Chu suddenly recalled An An’s pretty face and figure, and starting to wonder if this was a threat or an opportunity for those boys…
After all, this female ghost was also a supporting character in “Little Emperor’s” story; her gorgeous looks and figure would surely attract most men.
Wen Yang nodded, “Anyway, I’m not class president anymore, so I likely won’t see her outside class meetings.”
“Quick, stamp it, I’m in a rush to get back and write.”
“Okay, sure.”
Stamping the student ID didn’t take long. In no time, the two of them left the office.
The situation was better than expected; that female ghost hadn’t made any obvious flirty moves towards Wen Yang, but it could have been a long game.
Ning Chu sighed in relief as they walked out of the teaching building, but she was soon shivering from the cold wind.
Wen Yang’s tall figure shielded her from most of the cold wind as he asked, “Want to grab a meal at the cafeteria before heading back?”
“Sure, I guess?”
Ning Chu rubbed her stomach; she wasn’t really hungry, but didn’t want to order takeout later.
After all, takeout cost a lot more than the cafeteria.
The weather was still pretty cold, and it was class time, so there weren’t many students around in the school.
As they walked into the cafeteria, Ning Chu immediately spotted Qian Qian and Yan Xinya sitting in a corner.
“You go buy lunch; I’ll go over to say hi.” She instructed Wen Yang, “Remember to get some sauced pork bones; I suddenly want to eat those.”
“Go on, sauced pork bones are mildly spicy, right?”
“Yeah, mildly spicy!”
Ning Chu nodded and then left Wen Yang, jogging over to sit beside Yan Xinya.
“Xinya! Teacher Qian Qian! What are you chatting about?”
“You’re here?” Yan Xinya looked up at her and replied with a troubled pout, “We were talking about Shao Qing; Qian Qian said that guy has been rather distant lately, unsure why.”
“Yeah, especially after the new year… I’m starting to wonder if he doesn’t like me anymore.”
Qian Qian rested her chin on her hands, looking equally worried.
“How could that be? If he didn’t like you, he wouldn’t have pursued you for a whole month, right? Still cared so much!”
“But men are fickle…”
As Ning Chu listened to their conversation, she pieced together the situation.
Since Qian Qian developed feelings for Zhang Shao Qing, that thick-skinned guy lost interest. Although he still responded casually in daily interactions, Qian Qian had picked up on the signs.
What to do now?
She twirled her loose hair with her fingers, deep in thought about how to properly handle this budding relationship with her son.
Being a mom is tough~
“Ning Chu, you’re pretty close with Shao Qing; hasn’t he said anything to you?”
Naturally, Ning Chu couldn’t betray her own son, so she quickly shook her head, “How would I know… Wait until Wen Yang gets back with the food, you can ask him then.”
But then, her eyes lit up as a bad idea popped into her mind, and she asked Qian Qian: “I have an idea; do you want to try it?”
“An idea?”
“Yeah! I know Shao Qing really well~ He loves excitement! You might have to play some tricks with him…”
“???”
Qian Qian was taken aback, her face suddenly flushed bright red.
Ignoring her rosy cheeks, Ning Chu began to strategize: “From now on, act distant with him, ignore him, better yet, make up a boyfriend and casually mention him to provoke Shao Qing.”
“Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Good, just right!
That thick-skinned guy loves being teased! He loves it when girls act uninterested!
“The more aloof you are, the more he’ll like you~ He enjoys the thrill of chasing after a high-maintenance girl~”
Yan Xinya chimed in, “You’re really piling on the pressure…”
“When did I become a driver?”
