Chapter 466. Accident
On Monday, with more than ten minutes to spare before class, a couple leisurely ascended the stairs to the fourth floor of the teaching building.
Just as they reached the corridor, a loud cheer erupted behind them, startling Ning Chu.
“Ning Chu~”
The wolf-eared girl dashed in, wagging her tail, ready to leap into Ning Chu’s embrace, but was swiftly stopped by a hand pressing firmly on her face, halting her actions.
“Only you can be so full of energy every day.”
“Not really~” Yan Xinya struggled to push the delicate hand away from her face, but her gaze suddenly froze.
Ning Chu straightened up, proudly flaunting her freshly manicured ten fingers, unable to help grinning: “Pretty, right? Wen Yang treated me to a manicure!”
“Isn’t his money your money too?”
“Can’t really argue with that~”
It was rare to see something so feminine on her, let alone a manicure—she wouldn’t even carry a handbag before, always hanging it around Wen Yang’s neck.
“How about it! Isn’t it stunning!”
The wolf girl shook her big ears: “Hmm, not bad?”
“Right? I think it’s pretty good too!”
“Good morning.”
Lily approached, her expression flat, casually greeting the group before carrying on to the classroom.
“How did you know I got a manicure, Lily?”
“???”
“Wen Yang took me to do it! Look!”
Lily stared at her with a blank expression, her head tilting slightly, a look of confusion plastered on her face.
It’s just a manicure; why the need for such boasting? It’s basically the excitement of a kid who just got a new toy.
“Pretty, right?” Ning Chu persistently shoved her fingers in front of Lily’s face, her expression brimming with pride.
Lily caught her fingers, inspecting them seriously. After a moment, she coldly replied, “Average.”
Ning Chu’s smile faltered, pulling back her hand and muttering, “I thought it looked fine…”
“There’s also dead skin…”
Seeing Lily be so blunt, Yan Xinya leaned in to continue the critique.
“Dead skin wasn’t cleaned up, and you have hangnails on your index finger; the cuticle isn’t trimmed either.” After giving her summary, the wolf girl quietly asked, “How much did you spend? Not professional~ Not as good as Lily’s manicure.”
“……”
Ning Chu despondently buried her head in her elbow, leaning against the corridor railing, exuding an aura of despair, while Wen Yang found it amusing as he gently ruffled her hair.
“Getting cheated for the first time is normal; as long as you think it looks good, that’s what matters.”
“Oh~”
Lily was a bit too straightforward. Ning Chu, usually in a good mood, ended up feeling down.
He even suspected these two succubi were secretly competing against each other, though they seemed to get along just fine on a daily basis.
Seeing Ning Chu silently leaning on the railing, Lily finally said with a straight face, “Come to the dorm after school.”
“For what?”
“I’ll help you with it.”
Ning Chu lifted her head in surprise: “Is there a charge?”
“First, go to class.”
She grabbed Lily’s arm, eagerly asking, “What color do you think suits me? What would look good?”
“I think that shiny one looks nice! Just a bit too flashy, seems a bit much for everyday wear.”
“The kind with nail tips?” Yan Xinya chimed in, joining the discussion, “I like that kind too!”
As the girls chatted merrily in the corridor, Wen Yang was the first to step into the classroom.
What surprised him was spotting Zhang Shaoqing in the classroom—a rarity since this guy usually either skips class or arrives just on time, never this early before.
“Here so early?” Wen Yang sat beside Zhang Shaoqing, flipping open his textbook while asking.
“Is that you? Where’s Ning Chu?”
Zhang Shaoqing hesitated.
“She’s chatting at the back.”
For the first time, Wen Yang saw that carefree, shameless guy display such an expression and curiously asked, “What’s up? Something happening at home?”
“No trouble at home… Remember when I took Wang Jie to find his wife last Saturday?”
Zhang Shaoqing liked calling his girlfriend “wife,” which seemed rather childish to Wen Yang.
“You said you wanted to sneak a photo for the group chat, but you didn’t.”
He scratched his head: “Then Wang Jie’s wife is pregnant…”
“!!”
Wen Yang stared blankly, mouth agape in disbelief: “Pregnant? Isn’t his girlfriend only eighteen or nineteen?”
He twitched his lips, having a hard time connecting that honest guy Wang Jie with now getting his girlfriend pregnant out of wedlock.
“Yeah, I even stayed in the hospital with them for half a day.”
Zhang Shaoqing rested his chin in one hand, suddenly looking excited: “You wouldn’t believe it! Wang Jie’s wife is a rabbit! I swear! Those long ears! She’s only about one hundred fifty centimeters tall, but with those ears, she’s got to be at least one hundred seventy!”
This goofball quickly drifted off-topic: “It’s no wonder Wang Jie got exploited like that~ can’t even walk straight~ I heard the first time was initiated by his wife, typical rabbit behavior.”
Wen Yang, confused, asked: “I remember Wang Jie showing us a photo…”
“She was wearing a hat, and she did look like a good girl, a bit plain.”
“What are you talking about?”
Ning Chu leisurely walked into the classroom with her best friend, plopping down beside Wen Yang, immediately perking up to listen: “What’s plain?”
“You’re just in time to be a consultant.”
“Hmm?”
“Wang Jie’s wife is pregnant; what do you think? Should they terminate it or keep it?”
“???”
Ning Chu looked confused, gazing up at Zhang Shaoqing: “Huh?”
“Wang Jie is still with his wife, stressing about whether to keep it or not.” Zhang Shaoqing crossed his legs, “I say he should just terminate it; if he’s short on cash, I can lend him some—it’s better than having an extra burden while studying.”
“……”
Ning Chu’s brain momentarily couldn’t keep up.
She thought her chances of an unexpected pregnancy as a succubus would be high, but it turned out Wang Jie’s girlfriend bore the brunt first.
Does Wang Jie never take precautions?
“Isn’t it up to him to decide?” Wen Yang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming; if he were in his shoes, he couldn’t make a decision either.
Thankfully, both he and Ning Chu were currently very careful about contraception.
“He’s still hesitating, doesn’t even dare to tell his family.” Zhang Shaoqing said gleefully, “He hasn’t met the parents yet, and he already got their daughter pregnant—I’d break his legs if I were his dad.”
Wen Yang shivered, his calves feeling faintly sore: “True.”
Meeting the parents would probably get him a leg injury too, right?
“Should have done it secretly?”
“Wang Jie’s wife wouldn’t allow it.”
“Keep it…”
“They aren’t married, and can’t afford to raise it.”
Wen Yang couldn’t help rolling his eyes: “So what does he want to do?”
“No idea, that’s why he’s asking you all for advice~” Zhang Shaoqing replied with a cheeky grin.
