Chapter 539. News from the Female Ghost
“Graduation photo, huh… I guess I’ll need to take two days off with Wen Yang, um.”
“I’m busy working here, can’t chat… I’ll let Wen Yang know. Okay~ bye?”
Tilting her head while wedged her phone between her shoulder, Ning Chu was still typing away on the keyboard, busy with work.
She found a moment to set her phone on the desk and muttered to herself, “This female ghost is quite responsible, calling everyone one by one… Why not just send a message in the group?”
Has this female ghost become addicted to being a counselor? It’s been years since she moved!
Are there really that many gullible youths to fall for her? Hasn’t anyone reported her stealing food in all these years?
Ning Chu’s mind drifted to the voluptuous figure of the ghost An An, as well as her enchanting face…
Honestly, the gullible youths might actually be quite pleased.
“Xiao Ning, it’s time to clock out.”
A gentle pat on the back of her chair brought Ning Chu back to reality. Behind her stood a woman in her thirties, dressed in a professional OL outfit.
This was her manager, a fox girl. Compared to the one at school, this fox girl took good care of her. Though she had heard rumors about the manager’s underhanded ways, it fit the stereotype of a fox spirit quite well.
“Got it, sis~”
“Your little boyfriend seems to be waiting for you downstairs.”
“Huh? I still have some work to finish…”
With her fiery red tail swaying, the manager pushed Ning Chu’s chair away from her workspace.
“Sis~” Ning Chu sighed as she got up, wanting to say something but stopped by the manager’s gentle, flirtatious fox eyes.
“It’s not like it’ll hurt to wait a bit.”
“Alright… then I’ll be off?”
Really, a few minutes for Wen Yang wouldn’t hurt.
She mumbled to herself, waving goodbye to her manager as she grabbed her bag and hurried to the time clock.
“Ning Chu~ Are you going shopping tonight?”
“Not going, my boyfriend’s picking me up.”
“Oh~ With a man now, you’ve forgotten your bestie~”
“Not at all!”
Ning Chu quickened her pace, rushing to clock out, then immediately jammed into an already overloaded elevator down.
She was pretty, had a pleasant personality, and was still young, so she received a lot of care in the company, practically becoming the darling of the group… With so many women around, she felt like she was in a harem.
Once outside the office building, Ning Chu spotted Wen Yang waiting at the entrance.
“Wen Yang! Why are you here again!”
“If I don’t show up every now and then, people might think you don’t have a boyfriend.”
Wen Yang cast a wary glance at the crowd spilling out of the door, scanning every man with a protective instinct, subconsciously drawing Ning Chu behind him.
“Wait, what if one of those self-righteous losers bothers you again?”
“Just that one time and you’ve been worried for so long…”
Ning Chu helplessly linked her arm with Wen Yang, her smile never fading, her lips curling into a sweet arc. “By the way, the counselor told us to take graduation photos next month and suggested a class party if convenient.”
“What do you think?”
“Definitely not going! Just invite Lily and Shao Qing for a meal.”
Mentioning her school pals made her thoughts drift a bit.
I wonder if the atmosphere will feel the same… It’s been nearly a year since we last met.
Lily is probably still that frosty succubus on the outside but hot on the inside, Yan Xinya should have settled down a bit after starting to work, and Qian Qian might have outgrown her childishness too?
Zhang Shao Qing’s social media is filled with travel photos with Qian Qian; Wang Jie seems still unemployed, stuck in the dorm squandering his days on games.
That shut-in really seemed to have lost his spirit since being forced to break up with his rabbit girlfriend, almost like a reincarnation of Ning Chu’s past life… Who knows, someday Wang Jie might also suddenly travel to another world and turn into a girl?
“How many days do you plan to take off?”
Wen Yang interrupted Ning Chu’s thoughts.
She nestled closer to Wen Yang, tilting her head in thought: “Two days over the weekend, plus a few days of annual leave should give us almost a week, right? Just enough time to go home and look around.”
She had never known about this annual leave thing until her manager mentioned it, realizing she had five days of paid time off each year.
At the time, she was even a bit taken aback…
“Perfect, I’ll take six days too, then! I’ll keep one day of leave as backup.”
As they walked and talked, they strolled leisurely towards the nearby subway station.
It was now rush hour, making the pedestrian street crowded, while vehicles on the road moved forward inch by inch.
Ning Chu had long stopped doing customer service and had moved to a women-oriented mobile game company, taking over copywriting.
She had written novels and achieved some success, applying on a whim and attaching her best work, and surprisingly caught their interest.
“Payday is coming soon~”
She had already mapped out how to spend her salary, chatter spilling out: “Together we can nearly make thirty thousand, save twenty thousand, use the rest for rent, utilities, and groceries… Can I apply for three hundred bucks for game recharge? A new skin just came out that’s super cute!”
“I’m actually thinking about upgrading to a one-bedroom apartment; this place is too small, and it’s a bit stifling.”
“That’s so expensive! Including the deposit, our combined salary might not even cover a month.” Ning Chu’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “But a new game just released, so we might get a bonus this month~”
“That game your company put out…”
Wen Yang twitched his lips.
The characters were beautiful, but everything else was dreadful, including the Mary Sue plots Ning Chu had written… It could only be described as ‘better left unsaid.’
He couldn’t understand how anyone would pay for such low-quality mobile games, wondering how the boss managed not to lose money.
“What’s wrong? Our game has a dedicated fanbase, alright? People praise my story! Some even cried!” Ning Chu puffed up, arguing back defensively, “It’s a game aimed at women! The target audience isn’t just you!”
“Sure, sure…” Wen Yang quickly patted the fuming Little Demoness, changing the subject, “What do you want for dinner tonight?”
“Some noodles? I’m not really craving anything, I’m just tired of everything.”
Ning Chu didn’t pursue it further as she pretended to pout before snuggling back into Wen Yang’s arm.
Her main character had been hitting the gym twice a week; while it didn’t visibly change his appearance much, his stamina was definitely improved.
She felt better too, sleeping soundly every night.
The two walked through security and entered the bustling subway station.
In the crowded space, Wen Yang wrapped his arm around Ning Chu’s shoulder, shielding her close, giving her cheeks a lovely flush.
“How about some shopping after dinner? It’s been a while since I took you out.”
“……”
Not hearing Ning Chu’s voice, Wen Yang looked down to see the Little Demoness engrossed in her phone, chatting with Lily.
Their conversations usually got pretty suggestive, even when discussing serious matters, they couldn’t help but throw in spicy images, easily veering off into erotic topics.
“When we take our graduation photos, Lily wants us to visit her house again~”
“Has she gotten a boyfriend yet?”
“I think she was dating someone, but it seemed to end in just a few days. I didn’t ask why.”
“Did they have a fight?”
Ning Chu stood on tiptoes, leaned close to Wen Yang’s ear, and whispered, “Maybe it was because he was too small~”
“This…”
