Chapter 176: Class 175
The good news is it was just a verbal warning, and I got a scolding.
The bad news is I have to write a 3,000-word reflection…
If I go by Lin Li’s standard of ten bucks for a hundred words, this reflection is worth three hundred!
Ning Chu hung her head, silent and taking the scolding with a face full of grievances, but her mind was on bigger issues.
What to eat for lunch?
The counselor caught her breath and took a sip of tea: “If you mess up again, it won’t just end with a warning and a reflection!”
“Oh… I won’t do it again.”
“Kids these days~” The counselor shook her head, “You’re quite pretty, why do something so stupid?”
“……”
She waved her hand impatiently: “Alright, off you go to class! Hand in your reflection on Monday.”
Ning Chu sighed in relief, nodded, and scampered out of the office.
After being scolded for half an hour, her legs felt all wobbly.
The counselor might be a bit harsh and scary, but she actually seemed kind? She hadn’t really said anything too harsh.
Ning Chu suddenly got scared by her own thought.
Oh no! Last time she thought that way, Han Jingye ended up getting caught. Who knows how long his punishment will last…
Ning Chu walked toward the classroom with a heavy heart.
She figured it was time to inform her parents about this matter.
Changing her gender on the school records was definitely not something she could just decide on; not only would her parents have to get involved, but they’d probably need to prepare a mountain of paperwork…
After four years in college, living in the boys’ dorm just wouldn’t work.
It’s only been two months, and Wen Yang already likes her. Zhang Shaoqing always doubts her gender, and Wang Jie… Although he’s a dull but honest guy, smart enough to get into college, he’d eventually figure it out.
Currently, the weather is chilly, and wearing a coat is okay for her flat figure. But by next summer, wearing flimsy short sleeves, who knows how her figure will turn out? She can’t keep binding her chest and continue living in the boys’ dorm, right?
“A pile of worries.”
Ning Chu mumbled, glanced at the public restroom she was passing, and turned to go in.
Just going to the bathroom…
She habitually stepped into the men’s restroom, but as soon as she entered, she heard a strange noise.
Her feet froze in place, and she peered inside, finding it completely empty.
“What was that sound?”
The bizarre noise heightened her unease, and without thinking, she grabbed her hypnosis spray from her coat, gulped nervously, and slowly backed away.
Then she heard a suppressed moan.
“Hah~”
What the heck…
Someone’s wilding out in the restroom during class, huh?!
Ning Chu’s tense nerves instantly relaxed. She sighed and decided to head to the women’s restroom.
The first time she encountered someone wilding out, her face burned red with embarrassment, but after a few encounters, she got used to it.
Sure enough, people here are a bit perverted and can’t afford hotels.
Even the main character can get pretty extravagant when playing around… But that was something she wrote herself.
She couldn’t count how many times she complained; Ning Chu wished she could smack herself.
“Why the heck am I writing royal texts when I’m not even busy?!”
Back in class, the first period ended just in time.
Ning Chu sat back in her spot, rested her chin on one hand, and browsed online for reflections to use as references.
“So, what happened?” Zhang Shaoqing leaned over, full of curiosity, “What punishment? It can’t be anything severe, right?”
“Just a verbal warning, but I have to write a 3,000-word reflection.”
Lin Li seized the opportunity: “I’ll write it for you for a hundred bucks!”
“No need.”
With that hundred bucks, she’d rather treat Wen Yang to a nice meal to replenish his energy.
“So, what are you planning to do these next few days?” Yan Xinya leaned in to ask, “Are you going back to stay?”
Ning Chu shook her head without hesitation: “Nah, I’ll sneak over in the evening.”
“What the heck! What’s wrong with our dorm that you have to go over there? Did we do something to you?” Zhang Shaoqing lamented dramatically, “Have we wronged you in any way?”
“You’re not even a girl.”
He was taken aback, then lowered his voice, wearing that knowing smile guys get to tease her: “Wait, are you sneaking into the girls’ dorm at night?”
“???”
“Wow, no wonder you look like you didn’t sleep well.”
“Get lost!”
Ning Chu recalled the last time she almost caused a scene in the girls’ dorm during a wild party, her face burned in embarrassment as she shot him an annoyed glare.
The class bell interrupted their conversation, and the teacher tapped loudly on the desk with a large triangular ruler. The noisy classroom quickly quieted down.
Ning Chu couldn’t be bothered to deal with Zhang Shaoqing’s incessant banter and focused on finding sample reflections online.
3,000 words? There’s no way she could write that herself!
Copying directly would be risky if she got caught, so she planned to stitch together bits from seven or eight different reflections—easy and efficient.
Wen Yang wouldn’t be back for three full days…
Without realizing it, Wen Yang’s face appeared in her mind again.
He left around six last night, and it’s almost ten in the morning now… a solid twenty hours!
She had never been apart from Wen Yang for this long.
Her mood sank a bit as she rested her head on her arm, staring blankly at the back of the student in front of her.
If Wen Yang were here, she wouldn’t have been scolded by the counselor.
And she wouldn’t have had to endure Zhang Shaoqing’s teasing without any comforting afterward.
Someone could’ve helped her write the reflection, they could’ve discussed the troublesome matters, and even shared the bizarre incident from the restroom… They’d help her choose what to eat for lunch too.
Ning Chu stubbornly pursed her lips.
Why did she suddenly think about Wen Yang so much when they were apart?
And why was she so eager for him to come back? She had never been this anxious even when her paycheck was around the corner.
It was as if she had genuinely developed feelings for Wen Yang…
“Ning Chu, are you going back for lunch?” Zhang Shaoqing suddenly asked her.
“Of course, where else would I go~”
“And then you’ll sneak over to the girls’ dorm at night?”
“Yeah…”
Zhang Shaoqing looked at her dejected face, mumbling, “Why do I feel like… you’re avoiding us?”
“Just ask Wang Jie; it’s just your imagination.”
He turned to Wang Jie, but without even asking, scoffed, “Wang Jie’s such a goof, he wouldn’t know a thing.”
Honest Wang Jie could only silently glare at him.
Zhang Shaoqing leaned in closer, whispering, but Ning Chu shifted her butt defensively, creating a bit of distance.
“You’re definitely a girl, aren’t you?” he said, sounding hurt, “Is it that awkward between brothers?!”
“……”
As a girl now, Ning Chu knew she had to maintain some distance from the guys.
But because of that, Zhang Shaoqing began to notice the signs beyond her appearance…
She felt it wouldn’t be long before Zhang Shaoqing figured out her gender.
In fact, that guy could just go rummage through her closet and find the stash of sanitary napkins hidden in her clothes—leftover from last month.
That absolute shameless fool would probably do something like that!
Although the villain in the book isn’t the same as Zhang Shaoqing, when compared to Wen Yang who had already “passed the test,” she wouldn’t trust this guy.
At that point, she’d definitely have to move out.
