Chapter 163: My Male Lead! [3/40]
The main character…
As Ning Chu led the way to the girls’ dormitory, Wen Yang pondered the meaning of those two words.
This isn’t a film or a novel—where’s the main character in real life? The Earth keeps spinning no matter who’s on it.
Maybe it’s Ning Chu’s way of boosting his confidence?
After all, during his confession, he had shown his insecurities stemming from his family background, and Ning Chu particularly disliked his lack of confidence.
He took a deep breath; no matter the outcome, as long as it was Ning Chu’s request, he had to give it a shot.
“This is Xinya’s balcony.”
After circling around the front entrance of the dormitory building, Ning Chu arrived at the back and said, peering over a two-person high iron fence to the nearby balcony, “Over there, being on the first floor makes it really convenient for perverts.”
Wen Yang nodded and glanced around.
The situation around the boys’ dormitory was basically the same; although there were iron fences everywhere for protection, seemingly to prevent students from going in and out after lights out, most of the fences were damaged, with huge gaps big enough for an adult to squeeze through.
It was said that this was the work of delivery guys.
He placed down the bedding in his hands, sidled through the fence, and hopped over a few clusters of bushes, arriving at Yan Xinya’s balcony.
“Ah!”
Inside the balcony, Lily had just exited the bathroom when she saw a big man standing outside, letting out a shriek.
“……”
“What happened? What happened?” Yan Xinya rushed out excitedly, wearing boxing gloves. “Did you see a pervert! I’ll beat him up!”
But when she saw Wen Yang, the wolf girl instantly deflated: “Wen Yang~ Where’s Ning Chu?”
“Behind.”
Yan Xinya stood on tiptoe, straining to see, waving to Ning Chu in the distance.
“I’m entering through the front door!” Ning Chu’s luggage couldn’t fit through the gap in the fence, and she stumbled out, dragging her belongings.
Wen Yang was attentively examining the surroundings and details of the balcony.
The balcony wasn’t high, just a few dozen centimeters off the ground. Although there were anti-theft bars, a thief could easily climb up and reach the clothes hung out to dry inside.
“We’ve already hung our underwear up there to dry.” Yan Xinya crossed her arms, leaning against the wall in complaint, “But they keep disappearing.”
The underwear hung above the sink, located deep into the balcony; no matter how long your arms were, you couldn’t reach it.
“What about the surveillance?”
“We found footage of the underwear being stolen, but it was pitch black, and no figures were seen—just a whoosh, and it was gone.” Yan Xinya spread her hands, “Do people really need to wear stealth gear to steal underwear?”
“Hmm.” Wen Yang looked down at a black teddy bear that had slipped into his feet at some point, “Could it be cats, dogs, or birds?”
“Impossible, right? Why would they steal underwear?”
“Good point.”
Yan Xinya heard the door opening and turned to see Ning Chu entering the room with her luggage.
“So, what’s the verdict? No results?” She placed her luggage down and hurried out to the balcony, “How’s it going?”
Wen Yang shook his head helplessly, wanting to give up but, seeing the look of hope on her face, changed his tune: “Who else’s underwear has been stolen? Maybe I’ll go check?”
“Room 107 has been stolen from a few times too, and…”
“No way!”
But Ning Chu protested excitedly.
“What’s wrong?”
What if Wen Yang really caught a pervert! Then he’d be even more famous at school!
Because of the sports meeting, he’d already encountered a female supporting character and several little fangirls on Monday morning; if he became known for catching a pervert, would Ning Chu still be able to live her life?
Would she spend all day in a state of emotional turmoil? Her body wouldn’t handle it!
“Anyway, no way!”
If he found clues here, he could pin it all on Yan Xinya; if he went somewhere else to investigate, it wouldn’t stay under wraps.
“Fine… this dog is so annoying.”
“What dog?” Ning Chu peeked outside the balcony and spotted the little teddy bear pacing around Wen Yang, “A stray dog?”
Yan Xinya nodded, “Yeah, I even feed it when I see it. It’s pretty affectionate.”
She leaned out with Ning Chu, playfully waving at the little teddy bear: “Little Black!”
The teddy bear immediately perked up upon seeing Yan Xinya and jumped, leaping into the balcony, nearly reaching her height.
“I can’t believe it! That dog jumped so high!”
Ning Chu was startled, yelping and rushing back into the dormitory. As a child, she had once been chased by a dog around the village, and the psychological scar still lingered.
The others were also taken aback by the teddy bear’s leaping ability, staring as the little bear affectionately rubbed against Yan Xinya’s pants, then sprang onto the sink and yanked down the underwear hanging above it, bolting away.
“Ah?”
The group was stunned, watching the teddy dash out of the balcony and quickly disappeared into the bushes.
“Underwear thief!” Yan Xinya pressed her face against the anti-theft bars, pointing at the bush, stomping her feet in anger, “I feed it breakfast every day! And it still steals my underwear!”
“Ah? Where? Where?” Ning Chu flustered, back at the balcony, brandishing a broom as a weapon.
“That dog!”
“Eh?”
Wen Yang, at a loss, asked, “What should we do? Catch it?”
“……” Yan Xinya was furious, taking deep breaths to calm down but suddenly realized something, her face flushed bright red, stammering as she darted back into the dormitory, “Forget it.”
“What’s wrong?” Ning Chu looked at Lily beside her, bewildered.
Lily, slightly confused, soon understood, leaning close to Ning Chu and whispering, “She… got her period.”
“Ah?” Ning Chu remained puzzled, but Lily, embarrassed, turned and went into the dormitory.
Ning Chu could only turn back to Wen Yang outside the balcony.
“You’re impressive, resolving it right away.”
“Mainly because that dog acts on the spot…”
Ning Chu had previously worried about her moving into the girls’ dormitory being a risk; now, she felt reassured.
“This is what a main character is like~”
The main character aura really works!
Wen Yang paused, hesitating before asking, “What main character?”
In a good mood, Ning Chu leaned against the balcony railing, leaning forward and sticking out her little butt, smiling and teasing, “The child of the world, blessed by heaven~”
“Is it really that exaggerated?” Wen Yang awkwardly scratched his head, “It’s just good luck.”
“It’s not that simple! You’re my main character! Be more confident! There’s nothing that can faze you!”
“Your…”
Wen Yang’s face turned beet red in an instant. Seeing this, Ning Chu paused, only then realizing her words could be misinterpreted.
She often thought of Wen Yang as her male lead, although it was true, saying it out loud felt like a confession.
“Don’t get the wrong idea! I’m going to tidy up my bed! You should hurry back!”
Watching Ning Chu retreat into the dormitory, Wen Yang contemplated deeply.
Am I really Ning Chu’s male lead…?
In Ning Chu’s world, is he truly the most important person?
