Chapter 428. Lily the Eager Learner
There was absolutely no strange commotion…
If a tentacle monster appeared at school, it would definitely cause an uproar. When the flirty An An was hanging out with boys in the teaching building at night, there were ghost rumors all over the forums, and the school even tried to invite experts to exorcise ghosts.
Even though in the end, the ghost girl became a counselor, and the exorcism ended up being for nothing, at least the teachers and students had some reaction.
But this time, it was completely calm.
“According to the setting in the book, tentacle monsters are evil beings from another world that prey on normal humans.”
Ning Chu explained to Wen Yang as she poked at the meatballs in her bowl.
“As for the magical girl… her name is Qian Qian, red-haired A-cup twin ponytails, her battle outfit is super revealing, and that’s it.”
“Your naming is so lazily done.”
“Well, I didn’t name you Yang Yang or Wen Wen, so be grateful!” She shot Wen Yang a glare and then added in confusion, “When class ended just now, I felt like someone was staring at me, and it seemed like it was her.”
Wen Yang took a sip of soup and asked, “What was she staring at you for?”
“Could it be she was actually looking for you? After all, you are the male lead.”
He shrugged, “Didn’t they say this plot doesn’t have me? It could be you took her umbrella.”
Ning Chu paused, looking towards the folded umbrella at the side of the table, and quickly realized, “No way! She’s not even in our class; that umbrella must belong to Shao Qing or Wang Jie.”
“True. So why is she acting weird?”
“I don’t know… I have a headache~”
Ning Chu pushed the spicy skewers in front of her toward Wen Yang, saying, “I can’t eat anymore.”
“You’ve only had a couple of bites.”
“It’s annoying; I don’t have an appetite.”
Wen Yang pushed the skewers back towards her, comforting her, “The world is vast, but eating is the most important. If there’s really a problem, I’ll take it on myself. Otherwise, what’s the point of me being so big? Stop being upset.”
“I’m just… it’s too spicy! I only wanted mild spice! This is unbearable!”
“…”
Not knowing what was going on, they could only wait it out for now.
Maybe she could initiate some communication with Qian Qian?
Ning Chu thought that tonight after returning, she would go find that magical girl next door.
However, it seemed that girl wasn’t very friendly; otherwise, she wouldn’t be trying to stalk her.
Crazy! Why would a magical girl not go fight a tentacle monster and instead stalk her, a perfectly harmless succubus?
“Shall we go to the library after dinner? Or go back and change shoes and socks?”
“Let’s go to the library… My socks are probably soaked from all that sweating; there’s no point in changing them.”
Ning Chu muttered, feeling quite hopeless, and then felt a gaze coming from behind. She quickly turned and saw a small black cat staring at her with innocent eyes.
That tuft of white fur in the middle of its forehead—it was Qian Qian’s cat.
“Not keeping the cat at home? Aren’t you afraid it will get lost?”
She grumbled, “Is it possible it sneaked out? Wen Yang, should we catch it and bring it back? Maybe it will increase the magical girl’s favorability toward us.”
If she encounters the tentacle monster, Qian Qian might be able to save her.
“Doesn’t seem like it sneaked out. Finished eating? Do you want to have something else?”
“Maybe milk tea…”
After spending time with Lily and Yan Xinya, Ning Chu had slowly developed a liking for milk tea.
She used to prefer cola; she didn’t even know which one was healthier… But now that she was drinking milk tea and other drinks, debating health seemed meaningless.
Holding the warm tea, her hands felt much warmer as she and Wen Yang headed to the library in the teaching building.
Just a glance and she spotted Lily’s figure in the library.
This shameful succubus was always diligent, visiting the library every few days, but most of the time she was wandering among the packed bookshelves.
“Lily~” Ning Chu ran over and peeked at the book in Lily’s hands, “What are you reading?”
“References.”
Lily calmly closed the book, discreetly using her sleeve to cover the book’s cover.
“References?”
But Ning Chu caught a glimpse and felt the wording in that book was somewhat similar to the little emperor’s literature she wrote…
“Can I take a look?”
“It’s really boring.”
“It’s fine; just curious~”
Lily raised her head, looking at Ning Chu’s curious big eyes, her usually cold expression slightly reddening with a hint of guilt as she glanced around and then at Wen Yang, who was entering the bookshelves.
“Hmm?”
She pulled Ning Chu down to sit, moving the chairs closer together until they were almost touching. This mysterious action made Ning Chu even more curious.
“What’s going on?”
Only then did Lily open the book, covering the front with her hand as if hiding some treasure, pressing her excitement, “Little Emperor Uncle!”
“???”
A slight blush appeared on the succubus’s face, and when it came to a specialized subject, she had much more to say than usual: “I found out about this last semester; there are loads of Little Emperor Uncles hidden in the library!”
“I specially searched for them and found a lot; this is the eighth book!”
No wonder you’re always wandering around the bookshelves! So you were looking for Little Emperor Uncles, huh!
I thought you were such a diligent student!
Ning Chu stared blankly at the daring words in the book as a strong mix of emotions surged up.
Shame, curiosity, excitement…
In the quiet learning atmosphere of the library, she was watching Little Emperor Uncles with another succubus—what an exhilarating experience!
No wonder so many scenarios in doujinshi are set in libraries.
Ning Chu leaned closer, resting her head against Lily’s, “Is it good?”
“It’s good!”
“Wow~”
Wen Yang sat down across from the two, glancing at their heads together, sometimes expressing surprise and whispering about who knows what.
“What are you looking at?”
Ning Chu suddenly raised her head, eyeing him warily, before giving a vague explanation.
“References.”
“You can actually understand that?”
“Of course!”
Ning Chu replied confidently.
To a succubus, professional Little Emperor Uncles definitely count as references!
Wen Yang scratched his head, confused, but seeing Ning Chu and Lily focusing on their books, occasionally engaged in quiet discussion, he felt quite pleased.
You have to know, even when this little succubus came to the library with him, she usually either typed on her phone or just slept face down on the table.
Indeed, having a studious friend can spark academic enthusiasm. Normally, no matter how much he urged Ning Chu to study seriously, she would only find it annoying.
“Then read more.”
“I know!”
Ning Chu casually responded and then reminded Lily, “From now on, don’t come to the library at night; I’ll come with you during lunch.”
“Did you trick Xin Ya that pervert?”
“I didn’t trick her! There really is a pervert! Don’t dismiss it!”
She tried to hint at something to Lily, but then realized that this girl seemed quite interested in Cthulhu-style tentacles, having all sorts of tentacle-shaped toys at home…
Would Lily go crazy upon hearing that?
