Chapter 490. Departure, Camping
Ning Chu didn’t quite understand why her ability to control her emotions decreased so much after becoming a girl.
In the past, if she encountered a similar situation, she would have preferred to hide everything deep in her heart rather than display it on her face or complain to friends.
Just like when she first arrived in this world, she would sulk alone in distress, avoiding anything she could. If it really didn’t work, she’d bite the bullet, even if the process and outcome were things she didn’t want to see.
It wasn’t just because of the physiological differences…
She sat on the sofa, gazing at the chaotic battle scenes on the big projection screen, but her peripheral vision quietly fell on Wen Yang.
Was it because of Wen Yang?
It wasn’t that she used to want to be alone, without a friend to share her feelings; it was just that she hadn’t met him yet.
Suddenly, Wen Yang, who was sitting next to Zhang Shaoqing, stood up and came to sit beside Ning Chu.
He didn’t try to comfort her, nor did he discuss problems with her; he simply sat quietly beside her, watching the game on the projection.
Ning Chu lowered her eyes, pressed her lips together, and leaned her head on that broad shoulder, gently closing her eyes, feeling a warm sense of security continuously pouring into her heart from Wen Yang, filling her chest and dispelling the anxiety’s coldness.
Having spent so much time together, Wen Yang understood her nature.
He just needed to accompany her silently.
“I’m going back tomorrow.” After a long silence, Ning Chu finally spoke. “My mom told me about this; she definitely wants me to go back and keep her company.”
“Okay.”
“You should come with me.”
Wen Yang nodded as a matter of course: “What else?”
“You really need to perform well this time; strive to be seen as a son-in-law by my mom!”
He felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and replied seriously, “Don’t worry.”
“That person must be a sly dog; he’s probably almost fifty. If he dares to cause trouble, just throw him out! I’m eager to see what he suddenly wants to do when he comes back!”
But it seems like the father also endured the Succubus mother for many years; perhaps his background is quite good… it’s just that over the years, he’s been drained dry.
It’s still way better to have our own male lead around!
“I’ll do exactly as you say; if he causes trouble, I’ll break his legs and throw him out!”
Wen Yang echoed Ning Chu’s words.
“Exactly! Break his legs!”
Ning Chu, filled with fighting spirit, clenched her small fist and swung it vigorously.
No matter what he suddenly returns for! As long as he upsets me or my mom, Wen Yang will take action!
Standing nearly six feet three, although not built like a bear, Wen Yang’s physique definitely made it so that not many would dare to provoke him in the south.
Ning Chu paused, lowered her head, and reached out to lift Wen Yang’s shirt.
Seeing her suddenly nuzzle against his abdomen, her warm breath brushing against his skin, Wen Yang glanced around at the others momentarily flustered: “What are you doing?”
“Mm… you have a layer of fat on your stomach! What if you can’t fight back?”
“Not likely.”
He hurriedly straightened his back, inhaled, and tightened his stomach, making the slight bulge vanish without a trace, faint outlines of abs still visible.
“That’s not good… I’ll check you thoroughly tomorrow, but let’s skip it for tonight.”
Ning Chu, blushing, mumbled and let go of Wen Yang’s shirt.
Wow~ those abs are enough to make anyone drool! Slurp~ Can’t let other women see it!
Others need to work out daily to maintain a figure similar to Wen Yang’s, but Wen Yang only needed a flash of inspiration back in ‘Little Royal Text’ to write a character setting and get himself a vigorous, well-built boyfriend!
“Screw it! It’s so hard to beat!” Zhang Shaoqing’s character died again, cursing and turning to look, “Stop showing affection! Come help me beat this BOSS!”
Wen Yang glanced at Ning Chu, saw her nod, and then stood up, moving forward: “How are you so bad?”
“This game is toxic! What does it have to do with me being bad?!”
“You’re just bad; stop making excuses.”
Ning Chu chimed in as well.
“Damn, it’s only Qian Qian playing mahjong!”
“Ning Chu! Do you want to play mahjong? Come over, I’ll teach you!”
Just then, Qian Qian from the other end of the living room raised her head to summon Ning Chu.
In the middle of the sofa and the open kitchen, several girls were practically making Qian Qian cry at the mahjong table.
She had no idea why her luck was so terrible.
“I don’t really know how to play…”
Even though Ning Chu played Japanese mahjong online and was great at it, she hadn’t had much real-life practice.
“Come on, I’ll teach you; if you lose, it counts as my loss.”
“Okay…”
Seeing Wen Yang was focused on the game, Ning Chu got up and walked towards the mahjong table.
As soon as she reached the table, Qian Qian enthusiastically pressed down on her shoulder and plopped into a chair.
“Come, I’ll teach you~ just follow Lily and draw tiles…”
Qian Qian eagerly explained the rules, while her slightly strange expression swept over the other three at the table, asking, “How much has Qian Qian lost this time? Was it over a hundred yesterday?”
“Seventy-something?” Yan Xinya chuckled mockingly, “Her luck is just too bad; she hasn’t won many hands~”
Qian Qian sighed, “I don’t have the heart to win against Qian Qian anymore; I’m afraid she’ll deduct points from me at the end of term.”
“……”
Thank goodness they were playing with small stakes; otherwise, Zhang Shaoqing’s living expenses might be completely gone.
While playing mahjong, everyone else was excited, shouting after winning a hand, while Lily remained calm, her eyes showing a hint of excitement.
Since Ning Chu rarely played, she faced difficulties while drawing and arranging tiles, her hands disobedient, and CPU overheating as she hurriedly completed her setup under Qian Qian’s reminders.
But by this time, others had already played a round, making her wait almost a whole minute.
While playing mahjong, they had plenty of time to chat, discussing topics from cosmetics to TV dramas, and from romance novels to handsome guys.
Ning Chu, however, did not participate in the discussions at all; she had no prompts popping up like on the computer, and everything required her to do it herself, sending her mind into overload as she stared at the tiles, confused.
“Hey? I’m winning!”
Suddenly, Qian Qian called out, pushing Ning Chu’s tiles over.
“Ning Chu has great luck~”
“Ah?” Ning Chu raised her head in confusion.
She was dumbfounded, staring as the mahjong tiles were pushed to the center of the table, suddenly realizing she was sitting on the brink of losing.
“Right, when are we leaving for the beach?”
“Four o’clock, right?”
She pointed at the electronic clock on the living room wall: “It’s already four-thirty.”
Yan Xinya froze, turning to glance at the time, and suddenly jumped up: “Stop playing! We’re going camping at the beach! It’s getting dark!”
“How did time pass so quickly~”
Lily nodded in agreement, “Yeah…”
Completely unable to comprehend how they could be so absorbed in mahjong.
Ning Chu sighed in relief, finally escaping from the mahjong game.
“Let’s take the mahjong set with us!” Someone suggested.
“???”
People are playing beach volleyball; you all want to play mahjong on the beach?
