Chapter 134: Now Everyone in School Knows 【13/56】
Ning Chu seriously suspected that Wen Yang might be a little sick.
It was terrifyingly large and took forever to come out; she thought he might need to go to the hospital, or at least get a little trim to increase sensitivity.
But then again, he was the male lead… That made it quite reasonable.
Leaning against the sink with nothing to do, she turned to look at herself in the mirror.
Maybe it was the scent that attracted her; a faint peach hue was always on her face, and the pink at the corners of her eyes was getting clearer. Those charming peach blossom eyes were now utterly captivating.
Her slightly immature face diluted some of her allure but added a strong sense of contrast cuteness.
There was no trace of a man there, and even the male aura had completely vanished, leaving just a shy little girl.
Ning Chu touched her face and looked at her reflection, muttering, “If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to lay a hand on this face.”
After all, she looked under sixteen, easily a three-year starter.
Waiting a little longer outside, an inexplicable panic turned her emotions anxious.
It was eerily quiet around, with no footsteps to be heard and no sign of Wen Yang, trapping her in solitude once again.
Feeling a bit flustered, she instinctively called out, “Wen Yang?”
“I’m here.”
“Are you done?”
“……”
Ning Chu pressed her lips together, leaned in to peek at the bathroom, and asked again, “Are you done yet? I’m hungry; I want to go to the cafeteria.”
“Not yet…”
The embarrassment was evident in Wen Yang’s tone.
She frowned and urged, “Hurry up; it’s been half an hour.”
“I can’t help it…”
“What do you mean you can’t help it?” Ning Chu paced in the bathroom, threatening, “If you don’t hurry up, I’ll just leave without you.”
After staying in the bathroom a little longer, that sweet scent made her body feel hot again.
She could only step outside and wait patiently in the corridor.
Just a few minutes later, Wen Yang stumbled out of the bathroom.
Ning Chu glanced down, frowned, and took a step back, her face full of disgust.
“I couldn’t help it…” Wen Yang awkwardly chuckled, “Maybe I was too nervous.”
After all, the girl he liked was waiting outside the bathroom for him to flush… How awkward is that?
“Well, I won’t help you anymore; be careful walking on your own.” Ning Chu quickened her pace, pulling away a bit. “Don’t say you know me; everyone will be staring, and I can’t afford that kind of embarrassment.”
“Uh…”
She thought for a moment and then simply took off her jacket and handed it to Wen Yang: “Tie it around your waist to cover up.”
Without her jacket covering him, his prominent figure was more noticeable, making Ning Chu feel especially insecure, wrapping her arms around herself and instinctively hunching a bit.
When it was hot before, she would use her textbook to cover up.
“Going back to the dormitory.”
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“I’ll order takeout.”
Ning Chu walked ahead, frequently turning back to check on Wen Yang.
An injured ankle shouldn’t bear weight, and logically, she should help support him to avoid further injury, but that enticing smell made it hard to resist.
“Hey~ why were you in there for so long?”
As they stepped out of the teaching building, a little wolf girl popped out from who-knows-where.
“I didn’t see you earlier.” Ning Chu rolled her eyes at her. “Why are you here now?”
“I come bearing good news!”
“Hmm?”
Yan Xinya pulled out her phone, opened the school forum, and beamed brightly, “Look! The whole school knows you’ve claimed Wen Yang!”
“……”
Ning Chu sighed silently.
Indeed, whether Wen Yang performed brilliantly in the top three or fell flat on his face, it couldn’t stop him from becoming famous throughout the school.
All she had hoped for was to play it cool during the competition, act a little, and it would be fine. But it turned into a complete mess and dragged her into it as well.
“Someone even took a photo! Look at your expression in it~ You were probably panicking to the point of almost crying, right?”
“Under the post, people are debating whether you’re a boy or a girl. A one or two are wishing you well, and others think you’re unworthy… saying the school should seriously check if you’re a girl in the boys’ dorm.”
“Now you’ve offended all the girls in the school!”
Ning Chu’s mouth twitched: “It can’t be that exaggerated, right?”
The wolf girl nodded with a grin: “Definitely! Not everyone has a love-struck brain.”
No, it should be said that not everyone is a female supporting character.
Aside from the supporting characters, normally, girls would just become Wen Yang’s little fans; most girls would probably just admire that he was handsome but wouldn’t boldly attempt to steal him away.
Steal him away…
Thinking of this, being mistakenly taken as Wen Yang’s girlfriend wasn’t completely without its benefits; at least Wen Yang would only be faced with harassment from fictional female characters.
Ning Chu leaned her head on Yan Xinya’s shoulder in despair: “If I post something to clarify, will anyone believe it?”
“No!”
The wolf girl’s nose twitched, suddenly glancing at the jacket tied around Wen Yang’s waist and his unsteady movements.
She immediately flashed a teasing smile: “You two were up to no good just now~”
“No, we weren’t!”
“You two are quite daring~”
“Really not!” Ning Chu’s face flushed.
Yan Xinya laughed and turned her head away: “Don’t be so anxious~ I didn’t smell anything off you, just joking.”
“……”
Let’s leave those jokes out of it~
Taking care of Wen Yang’s injured leg, it took them nearly half an hour to return from the teaching building to the dormitory.
“I’ll head back now and check if Lily is awake.”
“Okay.”
“Bye~”
Ning Chu finally turned her attention back to Wen Yang, who looked about to topple over, stepped in close, and placed her arm around his shoulder: “Let’s go; just support me a bit on the stairs.”
Even after walking for half an hour, she could still faintly catch a whiff of that sweet scent; clearly, Wen Yang was still very much engrossed in his own thoughts.
But being stuck halfway wasn’t enjoyable at all…
Ning Chu had been a guy, and she could barely empathize with Wen Yang.
When they reached the dorm entrance, her breathing became a bit heavy as she hurried to open the door, only to find it locked.
“Is the door locked…? Didn’t Shao Qing and the others sneak back?”
Now they were back to being a single guy and girl.
Luckily, Wen Yang was injured; if he really tried something, she could still run away.
“I’ll text to ask; I have a key in my pocket.” Wen Yang stood on one foot, holding onto the door frame.
“Okay.”
Ning Chu wanted to quickly get away from Wen Yang, afraid the heat in her body might escalate, so she stretched her hand to dig for the key but immediately pulled back when her hand touched something warm in his pocket.
“Better you get it yourself…”
She quickly darted to the side.
Moments later, Wen Yang opened the door and then dashed straight into the bathroom.
