Chapter 112 – Here We Are!
“Don’t flirt with girls outside! They’re all bad women!”
“Okay.”
“Hurry back after class. Don’t wander around; I want to eat spaghetti tonight.”
“Mm.”
“The bus shouldn’t be crowded at noon, but definitely don’t take the subway! I heard bad women like to get handsy with guys on the subway.”
“Is that a good thing?” Wang Jie looked up in confusion.
Ning Chu shot him a glare: “They only do that to good-looking guys.”
“Got it.”
Wang Jie watched Ning Chu trailing after Wen Yang, muttering, “Ning Chu is acting like a mom.”
He looked down, fiddling with his hair in the small mirror.
This time he was going to meet his girlfriend, so even if he usually looked scruffy, he had to dress up.
“By the way, Wang Jie, when are you leaving?”
“In an hour.”
Ning Chu leaned in, scrutinizing Wang Jie up and down, frowning, and stroking her chin: “You look too plain.”
After nagging Wen Yang, she started on Wang Jie.
Wang Jie wore a face of despair; after two months in the same dorm, he knew what Ning Chu was like.
She was a worrywart for everyone.
“We’re short on time. You should at least do something with your hair; it’s way too flat against your scalp.” Ning Chu glanced at Zhang Shaoqing’s desk, “I remember Shaoqing has some gel. I’ll go get it.”
Gotta make Wang Jie look sharp so he doesn’t end up as a sad story.
“You’re usually quiet; when you see your girlfriend, be a little sweeter! Since it’s long-distance, be extra warm when you finally meet.”
“Shaoqing’s hat looks nice; try it on~”
“This shirt is also good! Put it on!”
“What about these shoes…”
Wang Jie could no longer hold back: “Isn’t it a bit rude to be mooching off Shaoqing?”
“I texted him last night to give you a heads-up.” Ning Chu pulled out her phone to show last night’s chat with Zhang Shaoqing, “He said you could borrow whatever you want. Too bad you don’t have a driver’s license; otherwise, he could lend you a car to impress your girlfriend on her birthday.”
“……”
“I’m off.”
Ning Chu turned to see Wen Yang, already in his shoes and heading to the door, and hurried after him: “Back by seven?”
“Yeah, you can nap, and I’ll be back around then.”
Watching Wen Yang open the door and leave, she paused, turning back to see Wang Jie already packed up, dragging his luggage out.
“Wen Yang! Wait for me; let’s go together!”
The dormitory was left with just Ning Chu.
Feeling a bit down, she closed the door, locked it, and bent down to scoop up Hei Dou, sitting back down at her computer.
The usually noisy dorm was silent, making her feel uneasy.
Hei Dou squirmed to escape, biting her hand.
A quick jolt of pain made Ning Chu frown: “If you bite me again, I’ll take you to get spayed tomorrow!”
Hei Dou didn’t understand and hugged her hand with its front paws, kicking with its legs and biting down again.
The bites weren’t hard, but Ning Chu was especially annoyed: “Let go! I take care of you every day, and this is how you repay me? What a ingrate!”
The pain wasn’t severe, but she quickly sensed something odd, letting Hei Dou continue its nibbling, frowning, feeling a strange pain.
It hurt, but with a tinge of unexpected pleasure?
What the heck! I’m not a masochist!
Ning Chu, startled, quickly shoved Hei Dou off her lap, and the cat darted away.
“What an ingrate…”
She mumbled, eyeing her bitten hand in confusion, still at a loss.
Why?
Sighing softly, without overthinking, Ning Chu propped her chin on her hand, clicking aimlessly on the mouse, glancing at the window every now and then.
If a coward just finished a horror movie, they would definitely feel paranoid sitting alone in a small space.
Ning Chu had been in the vibe of Small Royal Text for the past two months.
Although her expression was blank, her glances at the corners and windows grew more frequent, her nerves slowly tightening.
“Should be fine, right?”
She bit her lip anxiously, opening the game in an attempt to shift her focus.
But as her character died over and over, she became increasingly restless, feeling a thick malice around her, like a weirdo could leap out at any moment.
She wanted to take a nap, but she couldn’t even dare to blink.
Bang!
The sudden noise nearly made Ning Chu’s heart stop. She quickly turned to see Hei Dou had knocked over the trash can.
She couldn’t sit still anymore, anxiously pacing around the room, eventually stopping in front of the wardrobe.
Ning Chu opened the wardrobe, looking at the sleep shirt deep inside.
“No matter if it helps, at least it’s some psychological comfort.”
She mumbled, reaching for the shirt and slipping it on.
Maybe it was just in her head, but wearing Wen Yang’s sleep shirt did help relax her tight nerves a bit.
Taking a gentle breath, she thought she could still smell Wen Yang’s aroma on the shirt.
Then she pulled out a huge wrench from Zhang Shaoqing’s wardrobe… This had been what Zhang Shaoqing used when they went on the ghost-hunting adventure in the teaching building.
Feeling safe again, Ning Chu thought, indeed, all fears stem from a lack of strength!
Her mood calmed down significantly, and her mind began to wander…
Since this shirt worked well, could she pack all of Wen Yang’s clothes when she left?
But Wen Yang would be mad! That poor guy wouldn’t spare money for clothes, let alone food.
Bang bang bang~
Suddenly, someone was knocking at the door.
The slight relief she had just felt returned with a rush, making Ning Chu shudder and look suspiciously at the door.
Who could it be at this time?
After a brief silence, a frazzled voice came from outside: “Ning Chu~ It’s me, Yan Xinya.”
“Xinya?”
“Yeah!” Moments later, Yan Xinya’s smiling face appeared at the window, “I climbed over the wall to get in~”
“Eh?”
Ning Chu hurriedly got up and opened the door for Yan Xinya: “What are you doing here?”
The Wolf Girl perked up, curious as she walked into the room, surveying the boys’ dorm while answering, “Aren’t you scared being alone on the weekend? I came to keep you company.”
“I’m not scared!”
Ning Chu pouted, closing the door and locking it again.
She looked up at Yan Xinya, who wore a cropped tee that revealed hints of abs, and her heart felt much steadier.
Now, even if a weirdo tried to attack her while the main character was gone, the Wolf Girl could beat them up without breaking a sweat!
“Really not scared? Then why didn’t you answer when I knocked?” Yan Xinya’s gaze fell on the big wrench, “Isn’t that a bit over the top?”
“Not scared.”
“Then should I head back?”
“Here we are~” Ning Chu immediately beamed, pushing Yan Xinya into a chair, “Come! Let’s play a game together! Want some afternoon tea? My treat!”
