Chapter 548. Graduation
With a cheer, she tossed her graduation cap into the air, and as the photographer clicked the shutter, Ning Chu’s university life officially came to an end…
The brief smiles during the graduation photo quickly faded as she picked up a graduation cap from the ground, not knowing whose it was, and embraced it while glancing at Wen Yang, who had been following her closely.
“Not happy?”
“A bit…”
In her previous life, Ning Chu didn’t feel much during her graduation, as she was always lost in games to escape reality; even her roommates of several years didn’t evoke much emotion.
But this time was different.
Even the girl she once regarded with wariness and disdain, who always seemed to covet Wen Yang, was a character she had written—she felt a strange affection for those girls.
In the future, they would go their separate ways and likely never see each other again.
And then there was the disgraceful succubus Lily, the magical girl Qian Qian, the Husky Yan Xinya, the carefree Zhang Shaoqing, and the taciturn Wang Jie…
Lily should have been Wen Yang’s comrade, Qian Qian would be the nursery for tentacle monsters, and although Zhang Shaoqing was rebellious, he still hadn’t turned into the villain from her book.
Compared to the tragic endings from the story, everyone’s current situation was relatively good.
Only Ning Chu herself ended up as a girl, still being pinned down by the male lead every day.
She cast a resentful glance at Wen Yang, leaving him bewildered.
“What a pity that Zhang Shaoqing wasn’t here for the graduation photos; he’s off on some vacation…” Ning Chu muttered as she took off her cap and stuffed it into Wen Yang’s arms, “Going out to play but nobody’s treating.”
“His family is rich; if he wants to find us, he can anytime, especially since he doesn’t have to work.”
“I just feel it’s lacking someone; it’s not a perfect graduation.”
Ning Chu yawned tiredly. She hadn’t slept at all last night, and even as a succubus, the energy she usually absorbed wasn’t enough, leaving her feeling sluggish today.
“Lily?”
She ambled over to Lily’s side and called out, but Lily was staring blankly into the distance, completely oblivious to her call.
“What’s wrong?”
Following Lily’s gaze, Ning Chu spotted the male classmate who had confessed to Lily earlier.
Lily had been all flustered before, rushing in to block any guy approaching, fearing Lily would lose control at the scent of male hormones. But now, it seemed Lily had some feelings for that male classmate too?
A mischievous smile crept onto her lips as she gently nudged Lily with her shoulder: “What’s the matter? You like him too?”
Only then did Lily realize her proximity and quickly averted her gaze, flustered. “No.”
“Then why are you staring at him?”
“He’s very big.”
“???”
Ning Chu was momentarily stunned, unsure how to respond.
Lily’s comment fit her identity as a succubus so well that it threw her off balance.
“Are you thinking about eating him or what?”
“Only after marriage.”
Clearly a succubus, her collection of toys could probably fill several suitcases, yet in this regard, Lily was inexplicably steadfast.
Perhaps this was the importance of family education…
It seemed Lily’s adoptive parents had instilled conservative values in her since childhood, forbidding any premarital sexual activities, but unfortunately, Lily only absorbed half of the lesson.
“So you’re moved, huh?” Ning Chu teased, “Didn’t he just confess? Did you agree?”
“No, he’s not handsome enough.”
She rolled her eyes: “You complain about toys being better than him, but reject the better ones for not being handsome enough.”
Yet Lily insisted seriously: “You have to look at them for a lifetime; they should be pleasant to the eyes.”
“True~”
Clearly, this succubus was only thinking about love leading to a lifelong commitment.
Otherwise, with Lily’s looks, she likely wouldn’t have been single for this long, even with her introverted nature.
Ning Chu had similar thoughts; luckily, by a twist of fate, she had ‘nailed’ a suitable male lead to be her boyfriend.
Suddenly, she spotted a loophole, leaned close to Lily’s ear, and whispered, “What if on your wedding day, you find your husband looks amazing but is actually a dud? What would you do?”
Lily pondered for a moment and coolly replied, “I’d try with my hands first.”
Even while discussing such raunchy topics, she managed to maintain a regal icy demeanor, her tone as calm as if she were discussing dinner.
“Lily! Ning Chu! Counselor An An is asking if we’re going to the class reunion!”
Yan Xinya came running with Qian Qian in tow, calling out to them.
“I think Wen Yang and I will skip it? I’m not that familiar with the classmates.”
Ning Chu had always been wary about gatherings, especially on the grand stage of Huangwen; it was likely that a class reunion could turn into a messy party.
But since she had already closed the plot, the chance of such events happening was quite low.
Lily shook her head in refusal: “Not familiar.”
“Come on, they’ve been classmates for a few years~ Unlike me, who’s familiar with everyone~”
This Husky was naturally sociable and had a good relationship with most of the classmates.
“What about you, Qian Qian?” Yan Xinya then turned to Qian Qian.
“Me…?” Qian Qian furrowed her brow, conflicted. “I don’t really want to go either.”
Sister Wolf sighed regretfully: “If you guys aren’t going, then I don’t want to go… How about we go to Qian Qian’s bar for drinks tonight?”
“Didn’t you drink last night?”
Ning Chu suddenly felt Wen Yang had taken too long and turned to look towards Counselor An An, only to see Wen Yang surrounded by several girls.
They had taken graduation photos; everyone knew they would find it harder to meet in the future. Many girls who held feelings for Wen Yang had thrown caution to the wind and rushed to confess.
One moment of inattention, and he would be stolen away!
Lily remained in place, watching as Ning Chu dashed towards Wen Yang in a fluster, then suddenly asked, “Want to come to my house?”
“Sure! Your wine is delicious~”
“I’ve finished it.”
“Does your dad not get mad at you? You never leave any for me!”
However, Qian Qian looked distressed as she puffed up her cheeks: “I only took one day off; I have to go to work tomorrow…”
“Right? That boss is so heartless, treating my Qian Qian like two people, just bullying the little girl.” Yan Xinya complained indignantly, “I often have to work overtime on weekends, leaving no time to take me shopping.”
“I’m not a little girl anymore!”
Sister Wolf puffed out her chest proudly: “Little girl~”
Though she only had a B cup, not nearly as impressive as a succubus, it was still significantly larger than Qian Qian’s AA.
Lily curiously asked, “Aren’t you quitting?”
“Gotta save some money first. Once I have enough, I’ll quit to focus on preparing for civil service exams; I want to be a police officer.”
Yan Xinya glanced at Qian Qian’s thin arms and legs, worriedly asking, “Can you handle it?”
“I’m very capable, okay!”
Qian Qian already envisioned herself wearing a police uniform over her magical girl combat outfit, using magic to fight crime, uncovering clues at the crime scenes with the aid of magic, and astonishing everyone.
Magical Police! So cool!
“I think you probably won’t pass the exam?”
“Let’s give it a try!”
