Chapter 547. Graduation Photo
Due to internships, my classmates who had been scattered for a year gradually congregated in front of the teaching building.
There was a long set of stairs, perfect for taking photos. Now, dozens of people stood on the stairs, dressed in their graduation gowns, clustered around their teachers, cheering as they tossed their caps high into the air under the photographer’s command.
Ning Chu gazed from a distance at the students taking graduation photos and noticed a few familiar side characters from her stories.
But she had already dealt with them during her three years in college~
The only problem was, Wen Yang was tall and handsome; even without the side characters bothering him, girls were bound to be drawn to him.
Once, Wen Yang was just a poor guy, but now he had the added label of being quite accomplished as he’d earned a salary over ten thousand after a year of internship—definitely outstanding among his peers, even considering the prosperous region he was in.
This made Ning Chu feel increasingly anxious; otherwise, she wouldn’t have quit her stable customer service job, enduring intense embarrassment, to go interview for a game writing position with her “autobiography” in hand.
What if one day she couldn’t keep up with Wen Yang…
Even if he didn’t mind, she would feel overwhelming insecurity, afraid that some prettier and more capable woman might snatch him away.
“Wen Yang~ Long time no see!”
Ning Chu’s ears perked up as she noticed the catgirl Lingling greeting Wen Yang.
“Mm.”
Wen Yang nodded coldly, acknowledging her.
“Has Shao Qing not come back?” Lingling looked around and couldn’t find her childhood friend. “Not coming back for graduation photos?”
“Probably not.”
Ning Chu interjected. This catgirl was Wen Yang’s first love; if it weren’t for her interference back in the day, who knows if Wen Yang’s virginity would have been taken by Lingling.
But just the thought that Wen Yang’s first kiss could have been snatched away by Lingling filled her with possessiveness and jealousy.
“Is that so~”
“Do you still keep in touch with Shao Qing?”
“That’s why I’m asking you all, right~”
Lingling could tell Ning Chu was on guard, and Wen Yang barely spared her a glance, waving his hand before turning to find his friends.
“Isn’t that your first love? Why not talk a bit more?”
“Why do you seem so angry?” Wen Yang looked down at Ning Chu, gently patting her horned head. “Does it count as first love? I only agreed because I was so annoyed at the time.”
“Did you kiss?”
He shook his head. “No, at most we held hands; your first kiss is yours.”
“Oh~ So you were so skilled back then?”
Ning Chu thought back to their first kiss; she remembered how he had made her breathless.
“Wasn’t it you who seduced me?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
With her jealousy fading, she obediently wrapped her arms around Wen Yang’s arm, but her eyes were still warily scanning for other female characters.
Like Lin Li! She once tried to drug Wen Yang, hoping to share him with Ning Chu, and even now, she’s still drooling over him—what a total vixen!
Then there was Shan Shan, who had tanned skin, a chaotic private life, and worked part-time as a basketball coach.
Or perhaps the true love of the male lead, taking graduation photos on the steps, or the baby-faced beauty Wen Wen from the next class…
Returning to school, seeing these side characters still tightened her nerves, but these written roles would soon be hard to see again.
“Come get your graduation gowns!”
The ghost An An’s voice came from the direction of the teaching building; she stood in the shadow of an eave, with a large box of gowns at her feet, waving to everyone.
Students scattered in front of the teaching building gradually gathered.
Having spent three years with these classmates, most of whom she hadn’t interacted with much, at least she recognized some familiar faces.
Ning Chu scrutinized these classmates she hadn’t seen in a year…
The tall, lanky guy who played basketball, lived in the dorm next door; it was his invitation that got Wen Yang to play basketball for the first time.
That obedient girl, whose name seemed to be Chen Xue, who had a crush on Wen Yang; during military training, she would sometimes bring him water during PE classes, but that crush was just one-sided.
“Wait, let’s wear our graduation gowns, and get Wang Jie to take a group photo for the dorm!”
Ning Chu grabbed a gown and started putting it on while asking.
“Shao Qing isn’t here, though?”
“Leave a space for him; we can Photoshop him in later.”
After putting on her gown, she picked up a cap to wear, but her horn got in the way and she couldn’t secure it properly.
“Isn’t there a better design for people with horns on this hat?”
“Maybe those with horns are less common?” Wen Yang approached, crouched down, and helped Ning Chu adjust her gown. “How about tying it on with a string, or just balancing it on your head?”
“That’ll fall off easily…”
“Ning Chu! Come for the group photo!”
Hearing Yan Xinya’s call, Ning Chu immediately ditched Wen Yang and rushed over while hugging her cap.
“Where’s Qian Qian? We’re about to take the photo and still can’t see her.”
“I’m right here!”
From behind the wolf girl, the magical girl Qian Qian peeked out, looking fuming: “I was obviously right here! You didn’t see me at all, did you?!”
“Who told you to be short and hang out with Xin Ya…”
It had been a year since she last saw Qian Qian, and that magical girl still had a flat chest and a loli body, making her incredibly petite.
Unlike back then when Qian Qian loved sticking to Lily, viewing her as a big sister she admired, now Qian Qian preferred to hang out with Yan Xinya; the two had been living together for over half a year.
“Lily! What are you doing? Come take the photo!”
Following Qian Qian’s gaze, Ning Chu looked up at Lily and found her leaning against a stone pillar, arms hugging her belly, her head lowered in such a way that it hid her eyes filled with spring. Her face was a shade of rosy peach, and her shoulders were lightly trembling.
A demon without a boyfriend is just tragic~
But Lily’s willpower was strong; if it were someone else, they might think she was just feeling unwell.
“Let’s go take the photo!”
Ning Chu grabbed Yan Xinya and Qian Qian, pulling them close to Lily.
“Lily, lift your head.”
“Mm?”
Lily instinctively raised her head, only to see a phone held high in front of her; her three friends had already made silly V-signs.
Her face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment, and she quickly lowered her head again.
“Got it!”
Lily flustered as she snatched the phone, trying to retrieve it, but the girls had already scurried off, laughing.
She shot a glare at Ning Chu, but feeling weak, she had difficulty walking and could only lean against the pillar, trying to kill Ning Chu with a glare.
“Uh, Lily.”
A male voice made her hastily lower her head.
Her current state was not suitable for any male interactions.
As always, she kept her poker face, but Lily’s cheeks flushed bright red, and even her icy expression couldn’t dispel the warmth emanating from her.
That male classmate still leaned over, stuttering as he kept his head down, too afraid to look at Lily’s face.
“I’ve liked you for several years now…”
“……”
Could you not confess at a time like this?!
Lily took a discreet glance at the boy’s lower half, filled with spring.
Being close to this suggestive demon, the boy could smell an unusual fragrance, his body unable to suppress a stir, even the loose graduation gown couldn’t hide it.
Wow~ this seems pretty intense…
“Lily!”
Ning Chu dashed over, sliding between the boy and Lily protectively, warily looking at her classmate.
Lily must not be taken advantage of!
