Chapter 136: Lunchtime
It seems that the bad woman is not a plot character.
If she were, then when Wen Yang completely lost interest in the glasses girl, the related plot would have broken, and Ning Chu would have been punished.
But her body didn’t feel any unusual sensations.
When her takeout arrived at noon, Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie had already returned to the dormitory.
“Oh man! Did you fall hard?” Zhang Shaoqing exclaimed, staring at Wen Yang’s bandaged hand and knee. “Are you still participating in the sports meeting?”
“Not participating, I told the counselor already,” Wen Yang lifted his leg, “I sprained my ankle, and it’s hard to put any strength on it.”
“Are you okay?” Wang Jie asked with concern, “Have you been to the medical room?”
“I’ve been, it’ll be fine in a day or two, nothing serious.”
He said a day or two, but after resting for just a few hours, the pain in Wen Yang’s ankle had lessened quite a bit.
“Just as well, Ning Chu isn’t participating either. You can take care of Wen Yang more these two days,” Zhang Shaoqing turned to Ning Chu, who was eating lunch, “Hey! Take good care of your husband~”
“Get lost!”
“Why are you so moody today? Is that time of the month again?”
Wen Yang thought it was just Ning Chu’s bad mood.
Because of his fall, almost all the girls in the school now knew he existed, and Ning Chu’s previous sour tone clearly showed she was worried about him being charmed by other women.
After knowing each other for so long, Ning Chu still didn’t trust his character at all.
After eating lunch while watching a livestream shop video, Ning Chu stretched and prepared to go to bed for a rest.
With no loud broadcasts during lunch, she estimated she could catch at least two hours of sleep to recharge for the harassment of seductive vixens later.
“Wen Yang, I’m going to nap.”
To avoid Wen Yang going out to flirt with girls while she was resting, she would always remind him during lunchtime.
“Okay, I’ll take a nap too after I finish eating.”
It was only Wednesday, and Wen Yang’s meal had turned into instant noodles and sausage again.
Most of the two hundred-some yuan he earned from his weekend job went to buying Ning Chu a cute dress, and the remaining money had already only lasted him two days, and now he was barely scraping by.
Fortunately, Ning Chu reminded him to watch out for bad women every day, otherwise, when that loan app promotion came knocking today, he might have seriously considered taking a loan.
“Finally bought a dress… Ning Chu has to at least wear it, right?” Wen Yang muttered softly, thinking of ways to coax Ning Chu into wearing the cute dress.
He came up with a few plans but was afraid Ning Chu would dislike them; suddenly, Yan Xinya came to mind.
Getting Yan Xinya to help, even if Ning Chu disliked it, it would be aimed at the Wolf Girl, and wouldn’t concern him.
So he quickly grabbed his phone, found Yan Xinya’s chat icon, and was about to type a message when he suddenly stopped.
His social app was linked with Ning Chu.
So he switched to texting…
“Ning Chu, want to go out this afternoon? I also invited Xinya and Lily,” Wen Yang lifted his head and asked Ning Chu, who was on her bed. “Are you going?”
“Is your foot okay?”
“Walking normally isn’t a problem.”
Ning Chu pursed her lips; she didn’t want to go out shopping with Wen Yang alone, as it seemed like a date, but adding Yan Xinya and Lily made it different.
Drowsiness made her consciousness feel like quicksand, leading her to lazily refuse to think.
“Fine.”
“Wow, one guy bringing three girls out to play,” Zhang Shaoqing turned back, teasing as usual, “Being handsome is different, huh?”
Wen Yang tidied up his lunch box, “Ning Chu is a guy.”
“Oh right, right~ A pretty boy,” Zhang Shaoqing teased, “Wen Yang, are you planning to chase that Wolf Girl or Succubus? Do you want me to act as your sidekick?”
He patted his chest, looking serious, “I would absolutely be a qualified sidekick!”
“No need.”
“Come on, do you not trust your bro?”
Seemingly catching wind of gossip, Wang Jie also turned curiously, “Right? I’ve noticed those two girls hanging around you guys a lot lately.”
“But it looks more like Ning Chu’s gal pals,” he commented, “Good-looking girls are different. Still haven’t found a girlfriend, but already has two besties.”
Wen Yang didn’t want to reveal Ning Chu’s female identity, so he casually brushed it off, “Just hanging out as friends, don’t think too much.”
“Then count me in! I happen to not have a girlfriend.”
“Already forgot about Ling Ling?” Ning Chu interjected softly.
Zhang Shaoqing’s face turned dark, cutting in, “Why bring that up?”
“Shh, I’m trying to sleep.”
The dormitory fell silent for all of two minutes.
Still, it was Zhang Shaoqing who broke the peace again, whispering to Wen Yang, “Hey hey! Wen Yang! Don’t go to bed just yet.”
“What’s up?”
“Which one do you like? The Wolf Girl or the Succubus?”
“Neither,” Wen Yang replied firmly.
“Bro~ Stop pretending!” Zhang Shaoqing gave off an experienced vibe, crossing his legs and suggesting, “I think the Succubus is better. I’ve heard she’s quite wild in bed. The Wolf Girl? I’m afraid she’ll knock you out with a punch.”
“Hey, the Succubus in our class always has a straight face. You can tell she’s hard to get close to. How did you manage to charm her?”
Wen Yang rubbed his temples, not wanting to continue the LSP banter, and simply climbed into bed.
Sitting at the head of the bed, he absentmindedly looked over at Ning Chu.
Ning Chu’s sleeping position was always a bit off; she lay flat, head tilted on the pillow, her blanket kicked to the side, short sleeves exposing her abdomen and waist, with her legs bent in an awkward position—completely no decent sleeping posture.
Wen Yang glanced at the two underneath him, and seeing no one paying attention, he quietly stretched half of his body over to Ning Chu’s bed, gently pulling up the blanket to cover her.
To make sure she didn’t catch a cold or anything.
He was more worried about Zhang Shaoqing or Wang Jie developing any strange feelings for Ning Chu.
And then suddenly, Ning Chu opened her eyes wide, her bright gaze staring straight at Wen Yang.
“Did you sleep lightly?”
“……”
She looked at Wen Yang who was trying to climb onto her bed, utterly baffled where he got such boldness.
It was broad daylight! The other two roommates were still awake.
“Cover yourself up with the blanket, don’t catch a cold,” Wen Yang calmly advised and immediately retreated back to his own bed.
“……”
Ning Chu fell silent, pulled the blanket around her, suddenly finding it hard to sleep.
She wasn’t sure if Wen Yang genuinely intended to cover her with the blanket or had other motives, but one thing she could confirm was, if Wen Yang truly had the intention of sneaking into her bed, that’d be too convenient.
“Need to buy a bed curtain… at least I could feel more secure.”
Ning Chu tossed over and promptly ordered one online.
“Also need to bring my hypnosis spray up to bed, put it under my pillow… and Shaoqing’s wrench is pretty useful too…”
Next time she faced a situation like this, she wouldn’t bother with whether it was a misunderstanding; she would first give Wen Yang a spritz of the hypnosis spray, and then interrogate him with the iron wrench.
