Chapter 105: Finally Done
Later that evening, in the dorm.
Wen Yang was sitting at his desk, mindlessly clicking the mouse, but his gaze kept darting over to Ning Chu not far away.
Ning Chu seemed really upset…
Honestly, anyone would have a hard time controlling their desire for performance with a bunch of pretty girls cheering them on, right?
He defended himself in his mind but felt guilty enough not to look Ning Chu in the eyes.
Even though they weren’t dating, he felt inexplicably guilty towards her.
Looking over at her again, he noticed that ever since they returned to the dorm, Ning Chu had been glued to her phone, either reading a novel or something else.
But judging by her serious expression, she was probably very disappointed in how he acted today.
“Wen Yang.” Ning Chu suddenly looked up, but Wen Yang quickly turned his head to avoid her gaze. She frowned slightly and asked, “Do you know that girl from Class Two, named Wenwen?”
“Wenwen? I don’t know her.”
“Mm…”
Ning Chu lightly tapped her head and pursed her lips, feeling that the situation was a bit tricky.
Unlike the usual pairing of the male lead with other female supporting characters that’s typically just fleeting encounters, Wenwen was a character actively pursued by the protagonist and it lasted quite some time.
The book clearly stated that while dating Wenwen, the male lead no longer chased after other girls, which is enough to show how much he cared for her… but being pursued doesn’t count; he’s open to advances from anyone.
Therefore, Wenwen ended up as the main character in several short stories in the book; this loli-faced girl looked pure but was quite the flirt.
Wait, did I actually like this type of girl back then?
Ning Chu rubbed her temples and couldn’t help but sigh again—what was she even writing back then!
“Guess he’s a scumbag~”
Wen Yang perked up, instinctively straightening his back.
No way? He just showed off during basketball to impress other girls, does that seriously make him a scumbag?
“What scumbag?” Zhang Shaoqing asked, turning his head with a lollipop in his mouth, “Who?”
“None of your business.”
“Don’t tell me you got dumped by a scumbag~” He teasingly replied to Ning Chu.
Ning Chu couldn’t be bothered to respond, letting out a long sigh, rubbing her stomach and realizing her stomach pain had inexplicably disappeared.
She paused for a moment, then excitedly prepared to head out: “Wen Yang! Let’s go!”
“Huh? Where to?”
“To the cafeteria, I haven’t eaten yet!”
“Oh~”
Ning Chu’s suddenly cheerful mood baffled Wen Yang again; he couldn’t understand how a girl’s emotions could change so quickly.
“Bring a bottle of green tea!” Wang Jie shouted as they headed out.
However, when they went downstairs, Ning Chu didn’t head towards the cafeteria but instead turned towards the nearby public restroom.
Wen Yang suddenly realized what she was planning: “Changing sanitary napkins?”
“Mm…”
Does she really need to drag me into this?
He always felt that Ning Chu’s caution was a bit too much; she had been this way from the beginning, sometimes looking at him with a face full of vigilance.
Earlier, she got all startled, saying something about a stalker, but it always seemed like she was overthinking it.
After all, they live in a law-abiding society; the security was quite good.
Arriving at the public restroom, Ning Chu hesitated for a moment but still walked into the men’s restroom.
The restroom was empty with no one around, and she glanced back nervously at the empty space behind her, suddenly feeling tense. She hurriedly poked her head out from the stall, calling to Wen Yang, who was at the sink: “Come in.”
“???”
Wen Yang looked bewildered.
Why does it feel like ever since Ning Chu got freaked out at noon, she’s been more clingy?
Does she need me to guard the door while she changes a sanitary napkin?
Seeing Wen Yang walk into the restroom, Ning Chu finally felt reassured and opened a stall door, squeezing inside.
Public restrooms are high-risk scenes! Don’t you have to be careful?
Even if someone found out about the bloody napkin, nobody would know it was her.
After changing and confirming no more bleeding, Ning Chu let out a long sigh of relief: “Finally done.”
Calculating the time, it lasted a total of four days.
She felt much lighter all over, and tonight she could finally take a shower.
Having just turned into a girl last night, plus the continuous bleeding debuff, she hadn’t been in the mood to shower at all, making her feel uncomfortable all day.
While showering, she’ll have to lock the door and brace it with a mop…
The dorm’s restroom door was fixed by the maintenance guy this afternoon, and although he was a character in the story, he left a good impression on Ning Chu for being proactive in his repairs.
After using the toilet, Ning Chu stepped out of the stall and pleasantly stretched.
Ah, feels so good~
She happily called out to Wen Yang: “Let’s go! Time to eat!”
“Why are you suddenly in a good mood?”
“My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore! We’re getting extra portions today! Double the meat!”
She didn’t know how much blood she lost today, but she needed a good supplement.
And ice cola! Ice cream! Watermelon!
It’s been so hot these days; not being able to eat these refreshing treats and having to drink warm water every day made Ning Chu feel like she was always on the verge of overheating, lacking the energy even to eat.
Ning Chu’s smile suddenly froze as she curiously looked at Wen Yang and noticed his flushed face. “Why is your face red?”
“This…”
Her gaze quickly dropped and landed on Wen Yang’s crucial area. Even though Wen Yang was wearing loose shorts, she still caught on to something unusual.
Her smiling eyes instantly darkened.
Wen Yang stammered, “Um, I can’t control that…”
Well, it’s true, a virgin boy is quite sensitive; even a little fabric rubbing could make him stand tall, ready to go.
Back when Ning Chu was still a guy, it was like that too.
She could understand, but couldn’t he avoid facing her when he was upright? So awkward!
Ning Chu pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and decided not to pursue it any further. She led the way out of the restroom: “To the cafeteria.”
“Okay.” Wen Yang followed her pace, “I’m going to wash my face.”
After splashing cold water on his face a few times, Wen Yang forced his brain to stop thinking about weird things.
He leaned over the sink, shaking his head heavily.
He really needed to work on his skills.
Otherwise, those unexpected occurrences would easily affect his image in Ning Chu’s mind; it wouldn’t be good if he ended up being seen as a stallion on the verge of getting frisky at all times.
Plus, it was too obvious; every time he had such a situation in public, he felt embarrassed to the point of wanting to run away, especially with some bold girls directly staring at him.
“Are you done?” Ning Chu urged from behind him.
“Yeah.” Wen Yang stood up, wiped the water from his face, and brushed his damp bangs up, revealing his forehead.
Ning Chu glanced at him and huffed in dissatisfaction: “Still trying to look cool?”
But honestly, Wen Yang’s hairstyle showing his forehead was a bit more handsome than usual~
