Chapter 197: Lunch
That was a girl who looked a bit sickly, almost about to collapse, and appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen; she was quite pitiful.
Is this what they call a “sickly type”?
Not far away, Ning Chu stopped in her tracks, looking over at the vampire girl, her mind racing to recall chapters from the Small Royal Text.
Got it!
Vampire Nana!
According to the backstory, vampires sometimes need to suck on men’s blood to replenish their energy, but Nana was terrified of men, making her incredibly frail, and she would faint at the slightest provocation.
After fainting once and being rescued by the male protagonist, she developed feelings for him, asking him to act as a temporary doctor and gradually “treat” her fear of men.
From eating together, taking baths together, to duo ranking in games, the whole treatment had striking results.
It was a large arc, spanning more than ten chapters!
Confirmed! She’s an elite monster!
Ning Chu nervously rubbed her stomach; after this plot was disrupted, her tattoo should be fully complete.
For succubi, that meant maturing and being able to hunt men.
Once the tattoo was completed, who knew what kind of punishment awaited for disrupting the plot again?
“What’s wrong?” Wen Yang, seeing Ning Chu like she was facing a formidable enemy, remarked, “She’s just a decent-looking girl. Is it worth getting jealous over?”
“……”
Ning Chu didn’t answer, her gaze still fixated on vampire Nana, hoping the girl would just faint on the spot.
That would trigger the plot, right?
Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie were right behind, and once the plot was triggered, they would directly encourage the two to step in and help, while she would take Wen Yang and run away, easily resolving the situation!
As they drew closer, Nana noticed Ning Chu’s sharp gaze, lifted her head, scanned the corridor with a few people, and quickly locked her eyes on Wen Yang.
With just a glance, her breath quickened, and she timidly lowered her head, donning her hood as she hurriedly brushed past Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was puzzled: “Why does she look like she saw a ghost when she saw me?”
He turned to look at Nana’s retreating figure, only to see Nana startled again by Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie, who seemed to scare her off as she trotted away.
“How would I know?”
Ning Chu knew full well but pretended to be clueless.
Uh-oh.
She thought the plot would unfold right before her eyes, but all she got was a brief encounter with Nana.
Wen Yang was soft-hearted; if that weak girl truly fainted in front of him with no one else around to help, he would undoubtedly act just like in the story and save her.
If he got entangled, the trouble of disrupting the plot would escalate.
Usually, it was fine; Ning Chu normally acted together with Wen Yang, but this weekend she had to go home for her birthday.
“Stay away from her in the future.” She had to warn Wen Yang, “I’m not around this weekend, so you better not go out.”
“Huh? I have a part-time job this weekend…”
“Then remember to stay away from her.”
Ordinary girls could no longer sway Wen Yang, but she feared a fainting incident might trigger a plot unfolding in which, knowing his personality, he wouldn’t just sit idly by.
Ning Chu suddenly realized a very serious problem!
Wen Yang had a part-time job outside on the weekend; if the plot got triggered, she might face punishment in front of her mother and brother.
It was fine if they noticed, but if she ended up taking it out on herself…
That would be so embarrassing!
The level of shame would likely be comparable to getting caught by family during the first time! Just hitting the peak.
Before leaving, she had to find an opportunity to vent the pent-up frustration.
When she arrived at the cafeteria, Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie had already broken off from the group and headed directly toward the Dormitory Building. These two usually ordered takeout ten minutes before class ended, having no interest in the cafeteria food.
Ning Chu and Yan Xinya sat at an empty table, with Wen Yang taking the initiative to get the food, making two trips to serve up meals for the four of them.
“Ning Chu, what flavor of cake do you like?”
Like a starving ghost, Yan Xinya was shoveling food into her mouth, her cheeks puffing up as she asked in muffled words.
“I don’t like cake,” Ning Chu shook her head in refusal, “it’s expensive and doesn’t taste good, so forget it.”
Birthday cakes were too rich for her; she couldn’t even finish a single small piece.
“Lily’s going to make one for you~”
“Lily?”
She paused in confusion and turned to look at the aloof succubus beside her.
Lily was eating in a very ladylike manner, in stark contrast to the Wolf Girl. Upon catching Ning Chu’s inquiring gaze, she gently nodded.
“Lily loves baking pastries~” Yan Xinya explains, “and they taste quite good!”
A virtuous succubus?
That phrase just felt a bit weird when used for a succubus.
“Um… just let Lily do her thing? Just don’t make it too sweet.”
“Don’t worry! It’ll be delicious!”
Ning Chu’s appetite was small; she barely ate a bit of her meal before pushing her tray toward Wen Yang.
During this time, it seemed like Wen Yang had gained a little weight thanks to her~
Weirdly satisfying.
Wen Yang was initially awkward with her “feeding” but now nodded in gratitude, feeling very natural about it.
Once he finished his meal and picked up his tray to get a second helping, just as he stood, Yan Xinya hurriedly reminded him, “Get me another bowl too.”
“Sure.”
However, not long after Wen Yang left, a figure suddenly sat down beside Ning Chu.
When she looked up, she saw a somewhat familiar classmate; she recognized him but had never spoken to him.
“Ning Chu, what a coincidence!”
His smile was bright, very approachable, and his gaze swept over the three people at the table before landing on Lily.
It was obvious he was targeting Lily.
Ning Chu leaned slightly away from the classmate, resting her chin on her hands as she eagerly anticipated the drama.
She wanted to see how Lily would react to being hit on~
“Ning Chu, do you have Lily’s contact information? Can you give me one?”
This guy was quite forward, leaning in closer to quietly ask.
Before Ning Chu could answer, she heard hurried footsteps from behind her.
When she turned around, she saw Wen Yang returning with a vigilant expression, looking quite intimidating as he placed his tray down defiantly, glaring at the classmate.
“Move aside, I’m sitting here.”
“Huh?” The classmate, planning to say hello, was now a bit dazed.
What’s going on? Did the Ice Queen already fall for Wen Yang?
He just wanted to make himself noticed in front of the goddess.
“You can find another spot; the cafeteria has plenty of empty seats. Why do you have to sit here?”
Though he wanted to argue a bit, looking up at Wen Yang’s towering figure and sensing his displeased tone, he decided to leave with his tail between his legs.
Wen Yang finally sat down, satisfied as he sulked, “You should’ve chased him off the moment he sat down.”
“……”
Ning Chu had no words in response, unsure of what to say.
Wen Yang’s possessive attitude was just like… it was the same as when she encountered a bad woman hitting on Wen Yang!
But this guy’s target was Lily…
