Chapter 425. Daily Life
“Ah!!!”
A piercing scream caught Ning Chu’s attention. She looked up to see Zhang Shaoqing holding his thigh, grimacing in pain, while the catgirl maid beside him wore an innocently puzzled expression.
“Ah, Master, what happened to you?”
“Does it hurt~? Let me give it a rub~”
“Ah!!! Wrong! Wrong!”
Watching Qian Qian, filled with concern, pinch Shao Qing’s waist, Ning Chu paused and glanced at the broad-shouldered owner.
Now she could confirm; this couple indeed had a good relationship.
Qian Qian’s possessiveness was terrifying. Even with such a broad chest, any woman would find it hard not to glance twice—let alone men.
She turned to Wen Yang, who seemed much more serious than any male lead in romantic stories, focused intently on his phone.
“Hey, handsome, what do you want to eat?”
Upon hearing the owner’s question, Wen Yang instinctively looked up and replied, “I’ll have the same as Ning Chu, the A set meal.”
His gaze momentarily drifted to the owner’s chest but, in an instant, he forced himself to look down again, returning to his phone.
Zhang Shaoqing’s plight was still fresh in his mind. He didn’t want to press his luck.
“Dammit, it hurts… You women are too vicious!” Zhang Shaoqing cursed as he rubbed his thigh and waist, then asked, “Hey, since we’re all together, how about we go karaoke after eating?”
Ning Chu displayed an expression like she was looking at scum and he quickly explained, “The regular karaoke!”
“Regular? What about the irregular ones?” Qian Qian curiously asked from the side.
“…”
Zhang Shaoqing felt a chill down his spine. Today they were all about the master-maid roleplay, but he had zero pleasure from it.
A moment later, he changed his mind: “Forget it, just the four of us going to sing isn’t fun. Let’s wait until the weekend and invite Wang Jie too.”
Tonight, they should find a hotel and make sure the catgirl maid recognizes her “status”!
“Better yet, let Wang Jie bring his girlfriend.” Ning Chu suggested. “I’ve been wanting to meet her.”
“Yeah, I’m curious too.”
That girl must be something else to get Wang Jie drained dry every time.
Surely a succubus wouldn’t be needed. If she were a succubus, that lazy Wang Jie would have probably turned into just a box by now.
“By the way, Qian Qian plans to quit her job.” Zhang Shaoqing said, munching on the pastries that had just been served. “She’s a teacher now, and dating a student isn’t exactly honorable, so she’s quitting.”
“Ah?”
What about my final English exam!
“What does Qian Qian plan to do after this?”
Stirring his coffee with a straw, Zhang Shaoqing casually replied, “I’ll fund her to open a little café near the school so we can still hang out on weekends.”
“…”
Dammit, being rich is nice~
He casually gives his girlfriend a shop.
Ning Chu shot a glance at Wen Yang, wondering when her male lead would take her along to be a rich generation.
The typical protagonist halo in these stories probably doesn’t have that effect? Otherwise, he would’ve started making money from selling goods long ago, instead of hoarding a box of unsold items.
While the café owner had some weird tastes, at least the coffee and pastries were decent.
If not for worrying about gaining weight, she could easily eat two pieces of cake by herself.
Now that she’s a woman, she’s become increasingly conscious of her weight…
“Let’s go~”
After finishing their meal and exchanging farewells with Zhang Shaoqing, the two didn’t disturb the couple immersed in their maid roleplay and left the café.
“Shall we skip the bus and walk back, to digest and lose weight?”
“But that’s still pretty far.”
“If we get tired, we can ride back~”
There wasn’t much going on tonight, so Ning Chu chose not to take the bus and strolled leisurely beside Wen Yang along the sidewalk.
As they left the school area, the number of pedestrians dwindled.
She used to enjoy going out at night, aimlessly strolling the streets, undisturbed by people or noisy traffic, savoring the quiet night that could soothe even the most restless heart.
But as she became more like a girl and even prettier, she found herself being extra cautious about going out alone at night.
She had walked this route from her apartment to the school countless times, yet this was the first time she was doing it on foot.
She really enjoyed pavement walking with Wen Yang, even if there was no specific purpose, doing nothing but chatting could make time pass quickly.
This combination left Ning Chu in a good mood. After confirming, the trouble that Zhang Shaoqing had caused seemed fully resolved.
“Book Shaoqing really bullied Qian Qian and did all sorts of bad things~”
“But the real-life Shaoqing is so meek, just a glance at the owner causes him to flinch~”
“How pathetic~”
Though she said it was pathetic, she almost laughed out loud.
Wen Yang curiously asked, “What were you thinking back then? Why would you write something like this?”
“Um…”
“Could it be that you actually wanted to…”
“Absolutely not! No way!” Ning Chu quickly denied, shaking her head vigorously. “I was a guy then! Writing from a male perspective in a light novel, okay? It’s different now!”
“Oh, really… so when you kidnapped me last night, you were that enthusiastic.”
She earnestly defended herself, “That was to prevent my sister from being too tempting, and I had to sacrifice myself! I’m not some weirdo like Shaoqing, playing maid roleplay~”
To be honest, the whole bondage thing seemed a bit more twisted than maid roleplay…
But the former happened in her apartment. No matter how extravagant it was, it was still behind closed doors, where no one could see, while Zhang Shaoqing was out in public doing it.
Wen Yang silently scoffed at the little demoness’s rationalizations.
“Let’s not discuss this anymore, I’m tired from walking.” Ning Chu tactfully changed the subject, looking around for shared bikes, “Can you find where there’s a shared bike?”
“Didn’t you just say to lose weight? We’ve barely walked for ten minutes.”
“I’m already so thin, why lose weight~”
“Mm, a little chubby looks better.”
Ning Chu understood what he meant by “a little chubby.” She looked down at herself and confirmed that she was indeed “a little chubby.”
All her weight had settled in her chest and hips~
While she felt soft with less muscle elsewhere, there wasn’t really any visible fat.
Except for her little belly… Unless she tightened it deliberately, it always had a slight bulge, complemented by the silver lines on her lower abdomen, it was simply too seductive~
“There’s a bike across the road.”
“You ride over! I’m too lazy to go get it!”
“Okay!”
Wen Yang quickly ran across the street, scanned the code, and brought the bike back to Ning Chu.
The seat of the shared bike was a bit small, and when Ning Chu hopped on, there was still a bit of her butt hanging off, so she had to lean forward close to Wen Yang.
“All set?”
“Yep!”
Ning Chu raised her right hand high, pointing forward, and cheered excitedly, “Let’s go!”
“Hey! Slow down!”
The electric bike suddenly took off, startling her, and she hurriedly hugged Wen Yang’s waist, shoving her icy hands into his pocket.
The cold wind hit her face, making her lower her head and lean back against Wen Yang for warmth.
“So cold~”
“When we buy a little car later, it won’t be cold sitting inside.”
“By then, I definitely won’t be as happy as I am now.”
“I promise, you will be.”
