Chapter 444. The Next Day
The sky outside was always gloomy, with a persistent drizzle falling endlessly.
After waking up, Ning Chu only wore a thin white shirt, standing by the bed, peeking out from behind the curtain to take a look outside.
Over the past few days, her laundry had piled up half a bucket’s worth, and she couldn’t tell when it would stop raining.
“Don’t you fear being seen?”
Wen Yang’s voice came from behind her as he gently wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her narrow shoulder like a big dog, greedily inhaling her unique scent.
The Little Demoness was clad in Wen Yang’s shirt, the oversized white fabric concealing her hips, while the hem was pushed up by her tempting curves, a long black tail coiling around her thigh, extending down to her calf. This half-hidden pose was far more thrilling than any fancy outfit.
But Ning Chu had no intention of catering to the overly energetic Wen Yang early in the morning; she slapped away his hand resting on her waist in embarrassment.
“That hurts! Don’t touch me!”
Reluctantly, Wen Yang let go and raised his hands in surrender. “I promise to be gentler next time.”
Ning Chu shot him a glare, but saw his gaze fixated hungrily on her chest before quickly dropping to the silver line on her stomach.
The shirt was loosely worn, not buttoned up, and she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, leaving nothing to the imagination.
Seeing Wen Yang aiming his metaphorical gun at her, she panicked and exclaimed, “I’m going to take a shower!”
“Do you want me to help you?”
“Go buy breakfast.”
With her legs still a bit wobbly beneath the shirt, she struggled to stay steady, using the wall for support as she limped into the bathroom.
I must say, having a steering wheel really made Wen Yang braver than usual; too bad while her body could withstand it, her mind was completely overwhelmed by all the stimulation.
“That’s ruthless…”
As Ning Chu turned on the shower, she whispered under the warm stream of water.
Although Wen Yang had washed her once last night, she still felt sticky upon waking up and needed another rinse.
Suddenly, a knock at the door interrupted her bathing motions.
So early? Who could it be?
The mess on the bed wasn’t even cleaned up yet!
Ning Chu hurriedly turned off the shower, listening for any sounds outside.
“Are you home? This month’s rent and utilities need to be settled.”
That voice… it’s the landlord’s granddaughter!
Ever since Wen Yang moved in, this girl had shown a strange fondness for him; however, she was merely a passerby, not even a side character, not to mention not even worthy of being a femme fatale, so she posed no threat to Ning Chu.
Even if Wen Yang did take an interest in her, she was simply too beneath him, and pairing up would only land them in the hospital.
After all, she’s that big!
Scoffing dismissively in her mind, Ning Chu secretly opened the bathroom door a crack, peeking through to see the front door’s direction.
“Okay, Ning Chu, check the water meter in the bathroom.”
“Oh!”
“I might not have enough money; can you pay with your phone first?”
“Got it!”
After observing for a few minutes, she finally closed the door again, turning to check the water meter.
The little girl outside was putting on a show, while Wen Yang didn’t even spare a glance at the landlord’s granddaughter. After getting Ning Chu’s water meter reading, he called out, “I’m going to check the power meter; I’ll be back soon.”
“Understood!”
About ten minutes later, Ning Chu finished her shower and changed clothes, just as Wen Yang returned after paying the rent and conveniently bought breakfast, stepping through the door.
“I got some stuff from the downstairs sandwich shop, mixed noodles and dumplings.”
As Wen Yang put down the breakfast, he hurried to change clothes.
Ning Chu mixed the noodles, but upon lifting her head, she saw Wen Yang standing in front of the wardrobe, wearing an ill-fitting black suit.
“Where did you get the suit?” she asked curiously.
“The shirt I bought, the suit I borrowed.”
“Why are you dressed so formally?”
“I have a debate competition today, and they require white shirts and black suits.”
She froze, utterly surprised. “What?! You signed up for a debate competition behind my back?! I haven’t seen you attend any competitions before!”
Wen Yang hurried to explain, “Today’s the first round.”
“How many secrets are you hiding from me?!”
“Uh… Does signing up for basketball count?”
“Wow! So now you can sneakily join competitions behind my back, and soon you’ll be sneaking off to find women too!”
He hadn’t expected that reporting a competition would lead to this level of escalation, turning to Ning Chu in panic, only to see the Little Demoness lounging with her legs crossed, her face full of teasing and pride, laced with degrees of annoyance.
His excuse caught in his throat, Wen Yang swiftly shed the suit, ready for battle: “Last night was too light for you, wasn’t it?”
“Not exactly…” Although Ning Chu was looking forward to it, her body couldn’t handle it; she quickly straightened and became serious. “I’m going too! To supervise so you don’t get lured by bad women!”
“Just don’t go there to watch me mess up.”
“That will definitely not happen~ Why would you want to participate in these minor competitions?”
Wen Yang explained, “There are more prizes, and if I do well, it’ll be easier to find a job later.”
“Uh… maybe?”
When Ning Chu tried to find a job in her past life, the hardest part was figuring out what to write for her “personal experiences” section on her resume.
With Wen Yang’s approach, he could at least fill in a few lines and not look too shabby.
She pondered whether she should also find a few competitions to enter; after all, since she’d crossed over, she couldn’t end up worse off than in her previous life after graduation, right?
Otherwise, when looking for a job, she’d be awkwardly stuck with a paycheck around three thousand, even worse than being a server.
“I’m full! I’m going to change clothes; you eat the rest.”
After taking a couple of bites of the mixed noodles, Ning Chu jumped up from the couch, excitedly running off to change.
Though she’d experienced quite a night, her body was recovering quickly. She had started the morning with weak legs and some pain, but now moving around wasn’t a big issue.
What a great body the Demoness has~
It seemed she was gradually getting used to the overpowering Wen Yang.
At this rate, in a few years, she could flip the table and drain Wen Yang dry!
After putting on a black casual suit, a pleated skirt, and yoga pants, Ning Chu intentionally dressed in a matching outfit with Wen Yang.
However, while Wen Yang looked sharp and sophisticated in his suit, her outfit gave off a vibe of trying too hard to look mature.
Her bust could fill out the clothing, but her face still appeared too youthful.
Even though her aura was becoming increasingly alluring, her face wouldn’t mature overnight.
“How does this look?” Ning Chu stood in front of the mirror, contemplating whether she should apply some adult makeup.
Under the careful guidance of Lily and her mother, she had at least reached a beginner level in makeup skills.
“You look good in anything, but can you wear something thicker? Don’t catch a cold again.”
“I’ve told you so many times! The yoga pants are thick and lined! Try them on if you don’t believe me!”
“Let’s just skip it.”
