Chapter 344: Cultivating a Qualified Female Protagonist
Will Zhang Shaoqing turn into a girl?
How would she know~
If this had been written before the time travel, the chances might have been quite high, but this short story was written later.
Ning Chu didn’t have much time to think about this, having just taken a shower, and under Wen Yang’s relentless advance, her brain turned to mush as she rolled her eyes and fainted.
When she woke up the next day, it was already eight o’clock.
Sniffing the rich aroma of meat, Ning Chu sleepily stared at the ceiling, rubbed her flat little belly, and realized that Wen Yang had cleaned her up inside and out last night.
Following the smell, she hazily looked toward her desk and found Wen Yang already having breakfast.
This guy… Is being a protagonist so thrilling that it leaves her almost dead from exhaustion!
Fortunately, she was a succubus; the exaggerated descriptions in the royal novels not only applied to her but wouldn’t hurt her either. Otherwise, it would at least end with her getting hospitalized.
She really didn’t dare to make a sound and regretted not taking Wen Yang’s suggestion to buy a ball gag down at the shop…
“You awake?”
Hearing the noise, Wen Yang turned around and smiled warmly at the person in bed: “I bought buns, come eat breakfast?”
“Can’t get up, my whole body hurts.”
Actually, the pain was quite mild, even making Ning Chu feel a bit odd, but her body was indeed too weak to muster any strength.
She blankly stared for a while, but then suddenly perked up and instinctively reached for her phone.
Thankfully, no calls from her mother.
Even though she had tried her best to keep quiet last night, she still worried she’d disturbed the neighbors and might get complaints.
Ning Chu sighed in relief and continued to lie in bed, waiting for her body and mind to recover.
“These buns are pretty nice, and I also got some pies and soy milk.”
“Okay, just put it there, I’ll eat later.”
She lazily stretched, twisting her body on the bed, yawning.
Flipping over,
Sitting up, she leaned against the headboard and took the bun Wen Yang offered, hesitating to get out of bed to eat.
“Don’t get out of bed; the sheets need washing anyway.”
She glanced down at the chaotic bedsheets, biting into the bun sheepishly.
Indeed, every time the bedsheets were left in a mess due to her and Wen Yang…
“Um… Are you okay?”
“Me? What could be wrong with me?”
After a night had passed, Wen Yang still didn’t show any strong reaction to the truth.
Just a glance into those worried, beautiful eyes made him understand Ning Chu’s concern, and he explained again: “You can’t fake nearly twenty years of life, and I’ve read your novel; the plot has nothing to do with me now…”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Ning Chu blushed and stopped him, “Don’t mention my book!”
Wen Yang nodded but revealed a teasing smile: “We should respect the original work, or should we both act out the plot?”
“!!!”
Ning Chu widened her eyes in disbelief.
No way! You want to impose all the supporting character plots on me?!
Wouldn’t that really turn her into the female lead of a royal novel?!
“You wrote it, after all.”
“No! No way! Pervert!”
She vigorously shook her head in refusal, her head shaking so fast it left an afterimage, her arms crossed in front of her in an X shape: “Absolutely not! Don’t fill your head with that nonsense! What’s the difference between you and that harem scum from the book?!”
Seeing her shamefully red ears, Wen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
“Still laughing!”
Always bullying her!
Ning Chu angrily kicked Wen Yang’s waist: “I’m going to take a shower and head back.”
“Eat breakfast first.”
“Okay.”
She crossed her legs, draped a coat over herself to keep warm, and ate breakfast while secretly feeling a huge weight lift off her heart.
Hiding secrets didn’t feel good; it always made her worry that one day when Wen Yang found out the truth, he would angrily leave her… After all, the suffering caused by Wen Yang’s parents’ death was the character setting of the male lead she casually wrote.
Now everything was clear~ and Wen Yang didn’t mind.
The only problem was that Wen Yang wanted to completely turn her into the female lead…
Ning Chu held the warm soy milk in her hands to warm her chilly fingers and said, “I’m going to Lily’s house in the afternoon; she’s home alone and keeps asking me to keep her company.”
“Afternoon? That soon?”
“Yep, I scheduled it in advance; Xin Ya will also go.”
Wen Yang nodded regretfully: “For how many days?”
“Two days? Depends on the situation, anyway, it won’t be too long. New Year’s is in a week.”
These two days would be good for both of them to cool down, otherwise, if they kept doing bad things, Ning Chu was worried she might get addicted.
But Lily’s house seemed pretty dangerous too… With a bunch of giant toys, and Lily was keen on promoting them to her.
When the time comes, don’t get addicted to the game consoles, and don’t listen to any of Lily’s nonsense!
After breakfast, a shower, and changing into clothes for going out, when Ning Chu was ready to leave, Wen Yang also tossed the dirty sheets into a bucket, waiting to wash them later that night.
“Want to come to my place for lunch?”
“Sure.”
“Let’s take the subway back~ I’m so broke~”
Fortunately, she had just received her manuscript fee in the middle of the month. Though Ning Chu had been spending wildly these days, she still had quite a bit left.
The two descended slowly, walking through the narrow streets of the urban village.
Having resolved some worries, Ning Chu was in a great mood, swinging Wen Yang’s hand back and forth. She slightly stood on her tiptoes, her steps light and nimble, humming a tune that resembled nothing.
“Wen Yang, it’s a bit cold.”
“Do you want to wear my coat?”
Her eyes darted around, glancing at Wen Yang, her pace slowing a bit as she stealthily fell behind him.
However, a hand suddenly dropped from above, directly diving into her collar, the chilly palm pressed against her back, freezing her and almost making her scream.
“Wen Yang!”
Wen Yang took off running. After last time, when he had been ambushed by Ning Chu, he certainly had to strike first this time.
One glance at her eyes showed that the Little Demoness wasn’t up to anything good!
“Don’t run! What’s wrong with warming my hands!”
Ning Chu desperately chased after him, but Wen Yang’s long legs, standing nearly six feet three, meant one of his strides matched two of hers. After a few steps, she realized she couldn’t catch him at all.
Taking a deep breath, she suddenly exclaimed, “Ouch!” and squatted down on the ground.
Wen Yang had been keeping an eye on her from behind; seeing Ning Chu get into trouble, he quickly halted, suspiciously approaching within three to five meters, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“I rolled my ankle, all your fault~” Ning Chu lowered her head, hands clutching her ankle, pouting pitifully.
“Then I…”
“Buy me ice cream!”
She suddenly jumped up, reaching to grab Wen Yang’s clothes, but he reacted even faster, dodging and turning to run again.
“Ah!!!”
“Stop acting! How childish!” Wen Yang called from a distance, “That trick won’t work on Saint Seiya!”
Ning Chu, pained, paled: “You’re playing with memes now! I really did roll my ankle this time…”
