Chapter 146: No Wonder She Doesn’t Dare to Like Him
“Champion! I’m just too strong!”
Yan Xinya’s ears stood up high, her tail spun like a fan, and she looked as if she had just won an Olympic gold medal.
“Today, it’s my treat! Let’s have a feast!”
Ning Chu rested her chin on her hand at the cafeteria long table, glancing at the banquet laid out before her.
Four plates overflowing with various vegetables and meats, all fast food, added up to less than sixty in total.
“How stingy,” Lily muttered while holding a small bowl.
“Am I being stingy? What’s the prize money, huh~?” Yan Xinya’s face was conflicted, as if she had made a decision that betrayed her ancestors. “How about this, we each get a crispy chicken leg?”
Wen Yang didn’t mind whether it was a feast or not; he was the most enthusiastic about eating.
In no time, Yan Xinya returned with four crispy chicken legs, one for each person. She showed no girl-like modesty, grabbing a leg with her bare hands and diving in.
With oil dripping from her mouth, she still found time to ask, “Ning Chu, are you free this weekend?”
“Um, probably?”
Wen Yang was going to tutor someone that weekend, and Ning Chu wasn’t planning to tag along for the fun.
Though she worried a bit about Wen Yang being seduced by bad women, the tutor plot had already been disrupted, so the chances were low.
Besides, Wen Yang now showed significantly less interest in other girls, with all his focus on her…
Thinking about it was quite sad.
“How about coming to our dorm to hang out?” Yan Xinya invited.
When Wen Yang wasn’t around, seeking refuge with Yan Xinya wouldn’t be a bad idea; this Wolf Girl could punch any pervert into submission.
“Sure.” Ning Chu agreed eagerly but then curiously asked, “Who are your dormmates? I don’t think I’ve seen them.”
“Lin Li, she usually comes back only at night and is busy during the day. And then there’s Ling Ling; she moved in with her boyfriend after the National Day holiday and rarely comes back.”
Cat Girl Ling Ling, huh…
They were already living together.
Ning Chu felt a moment of sympathy for Zhang Shaoqing.
After all, that guy was already able to laugh about it himself, so even if he still had some lingering feelings for Ling Ling, they probably faded quite a bit.
“Oh~ no wonder I never saw your dormmates when I visited.”
Ning Chu mumbled, but suddenly became highly alert, her gaze snapping to the tall lady striding toward them.
The lady seemed close to 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a business OL suit, thin black stockings wrapped around her long legs, the white skin beneath the stockings subtly visible. A pair of sunglasses covered half her face, revealing only her high nose and red lips.
The overwhelming aura hit them like a freight train.
Hiss~ Just looking at her, you could tell she was high-tier!
Ning Chu’s pupils dilated, and her internal alarm bells rang loud.
Though she couldn’t confirm the lady’s identity yet, this was definitely a side character from a novel!
Previously, Wen Yang’s embarrassing fall on the track had made most of the school aware of him, and now a character had finally shown up!
Yan Xinya and Lily also sensed the presence, turning to look.
Lily was the first to lower her head and put on her hood, fidgeting quickly.
Even the Wolf Girl felt a bit intimidated under the lady’s aura, continuously giving Ning Chu pointed looks.
The lady reached their table, swept her gaze over the four, and fixed her eyes on Wen Yang. She took off her sunglasses, a slight smile gracing her red lips: “Can I sit here?”
Though she looked authoritative, her voice was sweet and alluring.
Wen Yang, who was engrossed in eating, startled and looked up in confusion.
Ning Chu took a deep breath; the psychological pressure from the lady was immense, and despite her previous experience with bad women, she felt a bit flustered.
She clenched her little fists, ready to jump up at any moment.
When Wen Yang finally snapped out of his daze, he almost immediately continued to eat: “No.”
“Mm?”
“I have someone I like now, and I don’t want her to misunderstand.”
Ning Chu was momentarily stunned, then noticed Yan Xinya and Lily both looking at her.
Her face immediately heated up, turning bright red, as she awkwardly lowered her head and avoided their gazes.
The clear rejection didn’t deter the lady; instead, she promptly sat down next to Wen Yang, her smile as sweet as ever: “I…”
“Don’t push it.”
Wen Yang’s expression was flat, his tone icy.
“……”
Whaaaat! Wen Yang had finally stood his ground!
He had never said such harsh words to a girl before! And he had his ice-cold male god demeanor on!
Ning Chu’s eyes widened; she was in shock.
If this were yesterday, Wen Yang would have just repeated “don’t get closer,” “I’m not interested,” “please move aside,” that kind of stuff. His feeble demeanor barely looked like a rejection; it looked more like he was playing hard to get.
Is this still my male lead?!
Hmph! After hitting a wall, the lady huffed and turned to leave.
Wen Yang glanced at her retreating figure, letting out a sigh of relief. But when he looked up, he found the three girls staring at him in shock, and his face turned red instantly.
The unfamiliar cold male god persona collapsed, revealing the familiar innocent little virgin again.
He stole a glance at Ning Chu, muttering, “You made me deal with this by just cursing. I feel like swearing isn’t very polite.”
“Do it like this from now on!” Ning Chu nodded excitedly. “Did you learn that from Lily?!”
“Yeah.”
“Then Lily is really a heroine~” She turned towards Lily. “Teach him more!”
Lily looked completely bewildered: “Huh?”
“Just now…” Ning Chu suddenly fell silent, her excited expression gradually fading away. Her face flushed a rosy pink, edging towards a deeper crimson.
Her entire body felt hot, as if something was surging up from deep within.
Oh no! She had forgotten to consider the punishment in her excitement!
She looked around in panic; it was mealtime, and dozens of people were walking around on the cafeteria’s first floor, with hundreds dining!
Oh no! If she got found out…
Yan Xinya’s ears perked up, and she sniffed, stretching her voice: “Huh~”
Lily, familiar with Ning Chu’s state, even without a keen nose, could guess what was going on. She expressionlessly lowered her head, hiding her face in her chest.
“What’s wrong?” Wen Yang asked curiously. He then noticed Ning Chu’s unusual behavior, “What’s wrong with you again?”
Yan Xinya teased, “Ning Chu might be hungry~”
Under the table, Ning Chu kicked the Wolf Girl’s calf.
“Hey! Why did you kick me?!” the Wolf Girl exclaimed, rubbing her leg and then turning to Wen Yang. “You better find her a restroom; she must need to go!”
Wen Yang paused, the scent of Ning Chu becoming undeniably stronger in the air.
“There’s a public restroom nearby.”
Seeing that Ning Chu didn’t respond, he awkwardly stood up and asked, “Shall I take you there?”
Lily’s eyes lit up, but she still lowered her head, worry etched on her face for Ning Chu.
Yan Xinya leaned in closer, whispering to Lily, “No wonder Ning Chu doesn’t dare to like him.”
