Chapter 388. Daily Life
“School starts tomorrow~”
While munching on steaming dumplings, Ning Chu sighed, “Time flies.”
Before she knew it, the first half of the semester and the winter break had already gone by, yet it seemed she hadn’t done anything since her arrival—barely listened in class and just meandered through time.
In these six months, if she had handed the spotlight to the other main characters, they would probably be worth millions and already making their mark.
Meanwhile, she took every day to think about how to keep the male lead a virgin, only to find it backfired on herself.
Thinking back to last September, Ning Chu desperately pondered that aside from resorting to extreme measures like getting Wen Yang castrated, there seemed to be no way to turn the situation around.
Or rather, compared to being flanked by men and becoming the pampered one or even the campus social butterfly and a regular at Silver’s bar… the current situation was already quite satisfactory.
“Our counselor has changed again.” Wen Yang, busy editing an announcement for their class group, always had the latest updates on campus since he was the class president. “Ning Chu, Lily, give me your student IDs later; we’ll need them for registration tomorrow.”
“Okay~”
Lily pulled her student ID from her pocket and placed it on the table.
“Ning Chu, you’ve been assigned to Lily’s dorm.” Wen Yang continued.
“As expected.”
Although Lily’s dorm was full, one roommate had already applied for off-campus housing, but they’d still need to pay for their dorm stay.
“Lily! Are you done? Help me clean up!”
Ning Chu set down her bowl and turned to Lily.
“Mm.”
The succubus nodded coolly, expressionless, yet quickly stuffed the last two dumplings into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like buns.
Guess Mom’s dumplings were to Lily’s liking~
“If you like them, just take the rest back to your dorm?”
“Mm.”
Lily nodded, stood up, and took out a transparent toy that looked like a cover from her suitcase, laying it on the bed: “A return gift.”
“No need! Put it back!”
“Oh~”
With a hint of teasing in her eyes but not revealing any emotions on her face, Ning Chu knew her well enough to realize this succubus was deliberately getting back at her for the earlier incident.
Wasn’t it just getting caught playing with toys at home? She had been exposed as a loser.
Women really hold grudges over the smallest things, huh?
If it were me…
I’d definitely bear a bigger grudge than Lily!
“Wen Yang, wash the pot.”
“Sure thing!”
The once carefree male lead of a royal saga had been trained by Ning Chu into a wonderful househusband. Wen Yang stood up, grabbing the pots and pans, and headed to the bathroom while saying, “Oh, by the way, I got paid for my winter job; I’ll transfer it to your account later.”
“Alright, I’ll keep it for you~”
“No need, buy whatever you want.”
“Then I’ll splurge and spend it all!”
In front of Wen Yang, Ning Chu opened the shopping app, adding game consoles, mini-fridges, and computer parts one by one to her cart: “I want them all!”
“Sure, but that little bit I earned might not cover it?”
Seeing that Wen Yang had no objections, she quickly lost interest: “Never mind, better to save it and buy you some good food…”
“Buy whatever you want.”
“Not gonna happen, I wouldn’t want you to go hungry again.”
When school started last year, even though Wen Yang was tall, he still had a bit of a sickly look. After six months of her feeding him, it was evident he had bulked up quite a bit, and his complexion improved greatly.
All thanks to me~
Looking at her “achievement,” Ning Chu gleefully put the money Wen Yang transferred into her savings account, then turned to Lily, only to find Lily looking on with envy and a tinge of bitterness. Noticing her gaze, Lily hurriedly looked away and silently started tidying up.
Though she claimed to have no interest in guys, she must still wish to date, right?
But Ning Chu thought she didn’t have any suitable male succubus to introduce either.
With her brother’s scrawny frame, good thing he didn’t end up with Lily, or given how small she was, he might just end up drained after a week instead of stark white from embarrassment.
She once thought her brother had some succubus blood; he should have decent stamina.
Turns out he wasn’t much help after all~
After an hour, the three of them had given the small room a thorough clean.
Lily took the leftover dumplings back to her dorm, while Wen Yang was on the rooftop drying bedding, and Ning Chu sat at her computer, chin resting on one hand, daydreaming.
Even though school was starting soon and cleaning was exhausting, she still had words to write every day.
The problem was, she didn’t know what to write…
After jotting down two lines, Ning Chu’s attention was quickly diverted to the gaming forum.
Moments later, Wen Yang pushed open the door, scanned the room, and asked, “Where’s Lily?”
“She left as soon as you went upstairs to dry the bedding.”
“Mm.” He sat down next to Ning Chu, glancing up at the quickly closed novel document, teasing, “Still not going to let me see? Is there something I don’t know about?”
“When I’m writing a novel, I can’t concentrate with someone beside me!” Ning Chu turned her head and glared, “Go sit on the couch! Don’t bother me here.”
“I can still read it when you update it…”
“Even if you read, don’t tell me about it~ It’s so embarrassing!”
Ning Chu kicked Wen Yang in annoyance but quickly squinted her eyes, leaning over to peek at his phone screen: “Let me see if you’re chatting up some girls~”
But on the screen was a job-hunting app.
She frowned in dissatisfaction: “Why are you looking for a job again? Night shifts?”
“Gotta make money, of course.”
“We’re not short on cash, okay?” she grumbled, counting, “Your four to five thousand during winter break, plus my living expenses and manuscript fees, we’ve got over seven thousand in savings!”
“If we eat in the cafeteria every meal, the two of us can last three months, and during that time, I’ll also have my manuscript fees and living expenses coming in.”
Wen Yang bowed his head, gripping his phone in silence.
Once Ning Chu, who used to be a man, quickly noticed Wen Yang’s thoughts, her expression softened, and her tone became gentle.
“While you’re in college, don’t rush to make money. Besides, there are bad women everywhere! Just do some part-time work on weekends.”
Wen Yang smiled ruefully and nodded, “The problem is weekend part-time jobs don’t pay enough; you’ve been supporting me for a semester.”
“Then just be a kept man~ Plus, didn’t you pay me back five thousand?”
“For the wedding dowry, house, car, and…”
“Hold on! I don’t want to hear that!” Ning Chu covered her ears with her hands, shaking her head vigorously, “Let’s just earn together after we graduate! Why worry about all this now? And you’re the male lead, okay? With a protagonist’s halo, making money in the future will definitely be a smooth sail!”
“I’m just making a smart investment! You’re down on your luck now; I’ll support you, and when you strike it rich later, I can enjoy being a wealthy housewife!”
Seeing Ning Chu shake her little head so vigorously it created a blur, Wen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, “Aren’t you afraid that when I get rich, I’ll ditch you?”
Ning Chu froze for a moment, then said fiercely, “Then I’ll turn you into a girl in my novel! You’ll be getting pounded daily!”
“That scares me to death.”
“Afraid, huh~” She proudly puffed out her chest, “I’m your author, after all!”
Even if it’s the author being pinned down by the male lead…
