Chapter 129: 128. Acting Cute
After gym class ended, only a few students remained on the playground.
Ning Chu casually found a patch of grass to sit on, holding a bottle of ice-cold cola after just finishing her milk tea. With the end of the month nearing, Aunt Flow was getting closer, so she decided to chug as many cold drinks as possible.
She gazed longingly at Wen Yang, who was jogging, while deleting her chat history with Lily on her phone.
Wen Yang was busy preparing for the sports meeting, completely oblivious to his phone, which meant she didn’t have to worry about him seeing her chats with Lily.
But if he did see them, her identity as a succubus would be blown… Who knows how Wen Yang would use that against her?
Looks like she’d need to create a secondary account to chat with Lily.
“Ning Chu, time to go,” Zhang Shaoqing strolled over, hands in his pockets, acting all nonchalant. “What are you still sitting here for?”
“I’m waiting for Wen Yang.”
“Tsk~ if I didn’t know you were a guy…”
Ning Chu cast a glance at Wang Jie standing behind Zhang Shaoqing and interrupted, “Aren’t you and Wang Jie always glued together?”
“Wang Jie doesn’t look like a sissy.”
What kind of twisted logic is that?
Not bothering with the jokester, Ning Chu flopped back onto the grass, gazing at the setting sun to the west while pondering how to handle the bad women and little fangirls trying to get close to Wen Yang during the sports meeting.
“Well, I’m going back with Wang Jie then.”
“Hey! Wait!”
“What’s up?”
Ning Chu lay there, head turned to Zhang Shaoqing, “How did you even get that spray?”
“I found it at my grandpa’s place.” Zhang Shaoqing shrugged, “He said it was bought from a boutique. Originally for my grandma as perfume, but the instruction label said it was hypnosis.”
“I figured it was useless sitting there, so why not use it on you?”
“Oh, I see…” Ning Chu murmured, “Next time, take me to that boutique.”
“What do you want it for?” Zhang Shaoqing looked at her disdainfully, “You don’t plan to use it on girls, right? That’s illegal.”
“……”
Why’s a villain giving me that judgmental look like I’m scum?!
Ning Chu shot him a glare, “Get lost!”
“Pfft! Wang Jie! Let’s go! Time to duo!”
Who knows what item Zhang Shaoqing will get next. If it’s x-ray vision… would this guy see everything? Not only embarrassing, but her gender would also be exposed.
But if that item is glasses, she needs to confiscate them the moment he brings them home!
Lost in her thoughts, Ning Chu heard the soft pitter-patter of footsteps on the grass.
Turning her head, she saw Wen Yang plop down beside her, panting, “Haven’t exercised in ages, it’s killing me.”
“Who told you to sign up for the 3,000-meter run?”
“No one in class signed up for long-distance, so I had to step up.”
Wiping the sweat off, Wen Yang took out his phone to kill time, but moments later, he turned his gaze to Ning Chu, “Were you chatting with Lily again?”
“……”
“Why’d you delete the chat history?” he mumbled a bit jealously, “Do you really have to sneak around me like this?”
Ning Chu casually replied, “Girl talk is private. Why do you need to see it?”
Most likely just random chit-chat anyway.
Wen Yang could guess that Ning Chu’s conversations with Lily were likely moving at lightning speed; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so shy to face him.
“How about trying on that outfit I bought you?”
Ning Chu sat up, stretched, and shook her head, “I don’t like wearing skirts.”
“Why are you buying me clothes if you’re so bored… You could’ve saved the money for food.”
Wen Yang sensed that Ning Chu was being tsundere.
Clearly, she was the one asking him for gifts, and now she pretended it never happened.
With Ning Chu’s personality, she wouldn’t openly admit she liked it; if she returned that outfit, she’d probably get mad.
“Let’s go, I’m starving!”
Wen Yang had rested enough and followed Ning Chu’s lead.
“During the sports meeting, just listen to me. Fourth place is plenty,” Ning Chu walked ahead, mentioning the sports meeting again, this time her tone firm, “No discussion!”
“Top three gets prizes.”
“Then they’ll all be snatched away by those bad women? Those seductive vixens would totally try to drug you! Who knows what they’d do?”
Wen Yang took two steps forward to walk parallel to Ning Chu, looking down at her fuming expression, he asked with a smirk, “Are you jealous?”
“I just don’t like seeing you getting attention, I’m envious!”
Getting Ning Chu to admit she was jealous was like trying to pull teeth.
Wen Yang sighed in resignation: “Alright, alright, no need for you to be jealous, I won’t steal the spotlight.”
“That’s more like it~” Ning Chu finally nodded in satisfaction.
“But you have to wear women’s clothing this weekend.”
The satisfied smile froze on her face as she immediately shot back, “No way, what if Shaoqing and Wang Jie see me? We’ve already made plans to play some script-killing games this weekend.”
“Then we’ll do it when they’re not around.”
“……”
Ning Chu was silent for a moment then found another excuse: “I have to try the outfit first; what if it doesn’t fit?”
“After lunch, we can go try it on. The clothes are at Xinya’s place, right?”
Uh-oh! That excuse just moved up the schedule for wearing women’s clothing!
She racked her brain to find other excuses to wiggle out of it: “I really don’t like skirts…”
“Just exercised a bit, and I feel good. I wonder if those competitors can handle it,” Wen Yang sighed, “What if they’re all terrible? What if I accidentally make it into the top three?”
This guy is learning bad things!
He used to be a slightly introverted virgin, but now he’s all ready to play the game?
It’s definitely Zhang Shaoqing who corrupted my protagonist!
Ning Chu looked at Wen Yang with a troubled expression, her eyes glistening, looking pitiful and soft, “Next time, okay~? Please?”
Seeing that face so heart-wrenching, a wave of guilt surged in Wen Yang, quickly breaking down his mental defenses.
“Fine, next time!”
He instinctively reached out to ruffle Ning Chu’s hair, full of regret, “Alright, I won’t push you.”
Good thing he’s still a guy! He knows how much these little virgin boys can’t resist a girl acting cute!
Ning Chu relished in Wen Yang’s gentle touch, eyes squinted in a smile, internally gloating, thankful she didn’t have to wear women’s clothing.
But then it hit her—acting cute towards a guy seems just as shameful as wearing women’s clothing…
Her face turned whoosh red instantly. She swatted Wen Yang’s hand off her head, swiftly lowering her head, increasing her pace towards the cafeteria.
After spending time as a girl, does this kind of cutesy behavior come so naturally?
And being patted on the head felt oddly nice instead of immediately repulsive? What’s happening?!
Wen Yang was bewildered, confused about why Ning Chu suddenly got angry, too scared to ask, just trudging along behind her.
Women’s thoughts are really hard to guess.
Her moods can shift in a heartbeat!
