Chapter 471. The Game
To be honest, Ning Chu was not too keen on Wen Yang participating in any school activities or competitions.
Even though the female supporting characters who posed a threat to her had mostly been dealt with, there were still a few stragglers, and those enthusiastic little fangirls were unavoidable.
The fangirls might not be as pretty or well-shaped as the supporting characters, but their sheer numbers were a headache. Seeing them trying to flirt with Wen Yang was infuriating!
She preferred to hide Wen Yang away like a treasure, keeping him from being targeted by other women.
But unfortunately, that was impossible…
Standing at the edge of the indoor basketball court, Ning Chu crossed her arms, watching Wen Yang running around on the court, while ear-piercing cheers filled the air.
Today was Wen Yang’s first round of basketball games.
This guy trained for only a week, and although his skills were just average, his nearly 1.9-meter tall frame and star-like good looks made him stand out like a crane among chickens. No matter where he went, he attracted attention, and several girls had formed a group, cheering for him.
Tall, handsome, and exuding manly hormones while playing ball, Wen Yang had practically received a license to mate among the university girls. No girl could resist him.
But Ning Chu wasn’t too happy about it.
Though she was reluctant to admit it, deep down, she harbored a strong sense of possessiveness over Wen Yang.
That’s my male protagonist! What are you all drooling over him for?!
If she were still a man, then Wen Yang would be out there flaunting himself, with a bunch of guys whistling at her girlfriend.
Just thinking about it made her angrier!
“Ning Chu Jie!” The magical girl Qian Qian jogged over, “Lily Jie asked if you want some milk tea~”
“I don’t want any.”
Yan Xinya’s first round of competition was also today, taking place on another court not far away, so a few girls who were close to her came along.
This afternoon, the whole school only had one class from two to four o’clock, and many people were free. Coincidentally, there was a basketball game, and the entire indoor sports arena was packed, leaving Ning Chu with nowhere to sit.
“Where’s Wang Jie? I didn’t see him yesterday, and Shao Qing is also missing…”
“Wang Jie is on leave for something, and Shao Qing… probably got taken away by his girlfriend?”
“Oh~” Qian Qian nodded knowingly, her gaze fixed on Wen Yang, who was sweating on the court, her eyes sparkling as she cheered, “Go! Go! Wow! He scored! Ning Chu! Wen Yang scored!”
Looking at her infatuated expression, Ning Chu instantly felt uncomfortable.
After all, Qian Qian was a female supporting character in a romantic story, sweet and cute, living right across from her, and hanging around them all the time…
Even though Qian Qian had no connection with Wen Yang in the storyline, Ning Chu still felt a strong sense of vigilance towards her, fearing she might steal her home.
“Can you help me buy milk tea with Lily?”
“Ah? I still want to watch the game! But you said you didn’t want any?”
“You wouldn’t understand the game anyway, just go.”
I can’t help those random girls! But I can manage you!
Instead of focusing on serious matters, all you do is stare at handsome guys!
With a look of regret, Qian Qian darted out of the gym, while Ning Chu turned and walked towards Lily, who was playing with her phone in the corner.
“Are you not going to watch Xinya’s match?”
Lily glanced up at her and shook her head: “I don’t understand.”
The two stood side by side, leaning against the wall, with Ning Chu still watching Wen Yang on the court, asking, “Did we say we were going to your place for a hot spring during the May Day holiday? When are we leaving? I need to prepare.”
Lily looked puzzled and shook her head again: “I don’t know.”
“……”
“It was arranged by Xinya.”
“Alright then~ Will we still stay at your place?”
“Yes.”
Ning Chu jokingly nudged Lily with her shoulder: “You better tidy up those little toys this time.”
This ice queen still maintained her straight face, showing no signs of embarrassment, only giving a quiet “Uh-huh.”
“Just let it slide if Xinya and I see you, but in front of others, you’re an ice queen! Especially Qian Qian; she looks like she really admires you.” Ning Chu continued to tease, “You don’t want your image to crumble in front of Qian Qian, do you?”
Lily awkwardly played with a strand of hair, turning her head away: “I don’t know why she admires me…”
“Maybe she likes the cool, aloof big sister type?”
“I’m not.”
“Yep, you’re just a shy, old lecher.”
“Wen Yang is being flirted with.”
“!!”
Only then did Ning Chu realize and immediately looked towards the court, noticing that the first half of the basketball game had just ended, and a flock of girls eagerly rushed over with water and towels towards Wen Yang.
She jumped in panic, quickly abandoning Lily and dashing out.
Even if Wen Yang couldn’t possibly be interested in those girls, she couldn’t just stand by and watch her boyfriend being hit on!
As soon as Ning Chu stepped onto the court, she quickly intimidated those scheming girls away and hurried over to Wen Yang, proudly wrapping her arm around his and speaking with dissatisfaction: “Let’s go, what are you spacing out for?”
“Nothing much.”
After finishing the first half, Wen Yang was panting, his legs feeling slightly weak. Sweat clung to his skin as he kept tugging at his loose basketball jersey, trying to cool off.
Ning Chu pulled him to a spot beside the court to sit down, picked up a towel, and wiped the sweat off his face, complaining, “Seriously, I almost lost you; those shameless women were relentless.”
“I wouldn’t pay attention to them.” Wen Yang smiled as he took the towel, looking down, and barely a moment later, the little demoness’s face was already flushed, setting off his succubus instincts.
His expression froze a bit, as he moved slightly away from Ning Chu, wanting to avoid any attention for the second half.
“What are you dodging?”
Ning Chu could get a strong whiff of his alluring, hot scent, but all she could think of was complaints: “They scream like crazy every time you catch a ball, and when you score, they get happier than it’s New Year’s! Meanwhile, I’m your real girlfriend and not even half as excited as they are.”
“Here’s some water… why does your head feel so foggy…?”
She quickly realized something was off with her, her brows furrowing slightly, but her breathing grew heavier.
For a succubus, the scent of strong male hormones was like the most intoxicating poison.
When Ning Chu became aware of this, a layer of crimson bloomed across her cheeks, and she awkwardly shuffled to the other end of the bench.
“Why don’t you go play with Lily first?” Wen Yang suggested, “I’ll come find you after the game.”
“No way! If I leave, those bad women will jump at the opportunity!”
“But with me like this… it’s not good for me to go on the court, is it?”
Ning Chu followed his gaze down, realizing that his loose basketball shorts couldn’t hide his impressive endowment anymore, making him bend over, trying to cover up with a towel.
If those scheming girls saw this, they’d definitely drool.
“This…,” even though Ning Chu knew it was because of her, she still tried to shift blame, “How are you acting like a stallion?”
“Isn’t it your fault?”
“I’m leaving then! You calm down quickly! Don’t let those vixens take advantage!”
