Chapter 182: 181.LSP
What a rarity! This weekend, Zhang Shaoqing didn’t leave the dormitory.
Due to his strict family upbringing, he was supposed to go home every week, ranging from half a day to two days.
But now it was noon, and he was still sitting in front of his computer, completely chill, with no intention of stepping out.
Ning Chu, halfway through her lunch, got up and placed her fast food box on Wen Yang’s desk.
“Why don’t you eat more meat?”
Wen Yang glanced at the box and noticed a lot of meat dishes still inside.
“It’s too greasy; I can’t eat any more.”
Ning Chu had initially hoped to eat a bit more to grow taller, but looking at the situation now, she wouldn’t be surprised if she just didn’t shrink.
Her appetite was small anyway, so she figured it was better to leave some meat for Wen Yang to nourish his body.
Stretching her arms, Ning Chu turned to Zhang Shaoqing and asked, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
“Just waiting for you to wish I would, huh?”
“Not really.”
Just after finishing her meal, she felt a bit sleepy and asked Wen Yang, “What about you? Still doing part-time work this weekend?”
After a moment of thought, Wen Yang shook his head. “Nah, just staying in the dorm… to play games with you.”
When Ning Chu saw his almost crying expression yesterday, he wanted to spend these two days in the dorm with her.
“That’s good then~”
“What’s so great about working part-time? It’s not like it’s an internship or a job.”
Ning Chu always disliked Wen Yang working part-time, knowing that a lot of plots occurred during those jobs in Small Royal Text.
But her living expenses were only 1500, and now that she was a girl, her spending increased a bit. While it was enough for one person, adding in Wen Yang’s food expenses made it tight.
She wasn’t entirely sure about her family’s financial situation, and she was too embarrassed to ask her unseen mother for more living expenses.
Bending down, she rested her hands on Wen Yang’s chair, gazing at the lecture video playing on the computer screen, gently inhaling the subtle scent wafting from Wen Yang’s hair.
It smelled like shampoo~
Mixed with Wen Yang’s aroma, it was a bit intoxicating.
Suddenly, a phone rang from behind them but no one answered it.
Turning around, Ning Chu glanced at Zhang Shaoqing, who looked apprehensive. “Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
“It’s my mom’s call…”
“What’s up?”
“She’s probably asking me to come home.”
Zhang Shaoqing was fidgeting nervously, his face looking pale.
This was the first time Ning Chu saw this side of him. Last time he encountered a ghost in the teaching building, he didn’t seem so scared.
It was obvious he had been under strict control from his family since childhood; he seemed to have some PTSD.
This made Ning Chu a bit worried. “Can’t you just go back?”
“It’s not about whether I can go back!” After a pause, Zhang Shaoqing suddenly stood up and said, “Wang Jie, let’s go!”
“Huh?” Wang Jie looked confused.
“Let’s go! What if my mom comes looking for me at the dorm!”
He hesitated but nodded, “Alright, where to?”
“Just… find a random internet cafe! Let’s go.”
Zhang Shaoqing hurriedly dashed out, warning Wen Yang and Ning Chu, “If my mom really comes, you both just say you don’t know, don’t spill the beans!”
“Aren’t you taking your phone?”
“She can track my location… forget it, I’ll turn it off and take it.”
“Wang Jie, grab your ID too!”
Watching the two rush out with their phones and IDs, Ning Chu lowered her head and exchanged a glance with Wen Yang.
Was it really necessary?
Was Zhang Shaoqing’s mom that scary?
She felt a little doubtful and stepped forward to close the door and lock it.
When she looked up, she saw Wen Yang smiling at her.
“……”
So now it was just her and a guy alone in a room~
Ning Chu instinctively felt a bit flustered, afraid Wen Yang might do something to her, her hand already hovering over the doorknob.
Even though they had kissed, it didn’t mean she was ready for anything more!
She was absolutely sure she couldn’t handle being pinned down by a man right now!
“What if Shaoqing’s mom really comes…”
“Want to watch a movie? I just found an interesting one.”
“……”
If it was just a movie, there wasn’t much to worry about.
Ning Chu moved her chair next to Wen Yang, grabbed a nail clipper, getting ready to watch a movie while cutting her nails.
She watched Wen Yang tidy up the desk and search for movies online. Suddenly feeling a mischievous urge, she lifted her leg and boldly placed it on the table.
“?”
Wen Yang turned back, looking puzzled.
“Help me cut my nails!” Ning Chu said confidently, placing the nail clipper on the table, “Make it look nice!”
“This…”
“What? You think it’s too much?” She shot him a teasing glance, making a soft ‘tch’ sound, “Then I’ll do it myself~”
It wasn’t that she thought it was annoying or tedious, but Wen Yang’s gaze fell on her delicate, fair feet, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
He was a thigh guy, a giant boob guy, a mature woman fan… but that didn’t stop him from being a foot guy, a petite girl lover, a loli enthusiast.
Simply put, he was an LSP.
Wen Yang was worried about embarrassing himself in front of the girl he liked, yet didn’t want to come off as if he disliked it. He reached for Ning Chu’s leg and placed it on his thigh.
Ning Chu was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling panicked, warning him, “I haven’t washed my feet in two days.”
“No problem, I don’t mind.”
“Eh~”
Look at that expression! Not only was he not disgusted, but he seemed a little excited!
Don’t you dare touch my feet…
There was clearly no description of Wen Yang being a foot guy in the book!
Normal folks would at least find feet a little gross, right?
Wen Yang clicked on the movie, and as the background music played, he lowered his head and diligently trimmed Ning Chu’s nails.
Ning Chu stiffened, awkward and guilty, her gaze glued to the screen, feeling the warmth of his hands gliding over her feet, the pressure was a bit uncomfortable.
“Ouch~!”
“Should I cut less?”
She glanced at Wen Yang’s serious expression, as if treating her feet like a work of art.
Suddenly, she found Wen Yang a bit creepy…
Oh no! He touched my leg!
The rush of heat made her instinctively retract her leg, almost kicking Wen Yang in the face.
Wen Yang paused awkwardly for a moment but carried on trimming, then spoke up, “Ning Chu.”
“Huh?”
“There’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you… I just can’t figure it out.”
Ning Chu wasn’t really paying attention; her focus was still on her feet. “Yeah, go ahead.”
“Why have you seemed to care particularly about me from the start? Have we met before?” Wen Yang looked up with a smile, “Were we childhood sweethearts? Did we just part ways later?”
“Have you been reading too many romance novels?”
“Well, it can’t be because of that book where the main character shares my name and is a small royal uncle, right?”
“!!!”
Ning Chu’s heart skipped a beat and suddenly began racing wildly. She froze, her body stiffened, her lips moved but she couldn’t find the words.
She had never experienced such intense feelings of embarrassment, guilt, and panic at being discovered all at once.
“You… you…”
When did he find out about the novel!
Was it that first night?!
