Chapter 223: Moving
Around one in the afternoon, a group of four got off the bus through the back door, lugging big bags and small bundles.
Yan Xinya held a suitcase in her left hand and a neatly packed quilt in her right, darting ahead eagerly, looking over at the village by the road; her tail behind wiggling wildly like a blur: “Where is it, where is it!”
She couldn’t wait to see Ning Chu and Wen Yang’s “love nest,” sweeter than a bucket of caramel.
“Don’t rush.”
Ning Chu had a flat expression, her eyes downcast, still worried about whether Zhang Shaoqing had figured out her gender.
When she packed her things in the dorm, that guy had acted no differently than usual, mocking her a couple of times, asking why she was moving out, and then jumped back into his game.
But the problem was, her sanitary products had been carelessly tossed in the wardrobe, and Zhang Shaoqing definitely saw them.
When the dorm manager caught her, she had panicked a bit; she should’ve had Wen Yang come upstairs to help her find her student ID…
Thinking it over, she figured she was going to be outed eventually, and since she had moved out, at least she didn’t have to worry about her story developing like a novel.
Even if she really did get caught with the male lead in the bathroom, it was still at a rental apartment. The villain couldn’t just shamelessly crash there, right? It wouldn’t turn into some story where she had to play both sides!
That thought didn’t sit well with her; she wasn’t sure she’d be able to hold her ground alone against Wen Yang!
Ning Chu led the group to her new place.
As soon as she opened the door, Yan Xinya rushed inside without hesitation.
“So small~ It’s about the size of my bedroom.”
Once inside, she dumped her luggage on the window sill table and said, “Not bad though; even this kind of place costs seven hundred a month, and that’s without utilities.”
“So expensive!”
Lily obediently plopped down on the sofa, her legs primly together, hands resting on her thighs, nose twitching. She sniffed around but didn’t catch any alluring musk scent, her eyes darting quickly to the only trash can in the room.
The trash contained some junk tossed out from last night but no used wrappers.
She realized, so Wen Yang was more beast than man~
Pretty to look at but useless! Better off as toys!
Ning Chu had specially chosen local merchants for bed sheets and new duvet covers when she shopped online last night; they had even arrived around noon.
The only thing was, she hadn’t done much housework before. Setting up the sheets was alright, but she was all thumbs when it came to changing duvet covers, which made Yan Xinya complain.
“Don’t mess it up, Lily! Come help!”
Yan Xinya shoved her aside, muttering, “If you can’t handle this little work, what are you going to do with Wen Yang later?”
“I’ll just do it.”
“You?”
The Wolf Girl turned to look at Wen Yang, completely doubtful that this brute of a guy could handle housework well.
In fact, when school started, it had been Wen Yang who helped Ning Chu change her duvet.
“Why don’t you help Ning Chu pack her things?”
“Sure.”
Ning Chu opened the suitcase filled with clothes and stuffed all her male clothes into the wardrobe.
There were some of Wen Yang’s clothes mixed in there to prevent a repeat of last night when he had no clothes to change into after showering.
While Yan Xinya swapped duvet covers, she asked, “Is there anywhere to air clothes here?”
“Just outside the window.”
“Oh oh~ But that blocks the light, doesn’t it?”
“I don’t care about that.”
The wardrobe wasn’t big. Ning Chu didn’t have many clothes, enough to fit. However, after returning home over the weekend, her mother had bought her several sets of women’s clothing, and with Wen Yang’s clothes mixed in, the whole wardrobe was crammed full.
As she placed each item in its spot, the previously empty room filled with a warm, lived-in atmosphere.
Ning Chu looked around the rental apartment, satisfied as she sat down at the desk, delightfully flipping open her laptop.
Too bad this chair doesn’t even have a backrest… She glanced at Wen Yang standing nearby, yanked him over, and comfortably leaned against his abdomen.
Wen Yang glanced down. If not for the external company and his brain devoid of any dirty thoughts, he would’ve been tempted to aim at the back of Ning Chu’s head!
“Hey! Ning Chu.”
“What’s up?”
“You have so many dolls; can I have one?”
She turned to see Yan Xinya playing with a doll from the nightstand: “It’s so cute!”
“No way!” She almost reflexively shot back.
“What? Why not? You have so many!”
Because that was the first toy Wen Yang gave her when they went to the amusement park together…
Though they were cheap little trinkets, they had always been displayed in her dorm’s bookshelf, and now she had brought them along, decorating the nightstand and television cabinet.
She had always liked such little decorations.
“If you want one, I’ll order you a new one online,” Ning Chu casually offered, “Those dolls have been around for a long time; I’ve got feelings for them.”
“Then never mind.”
Yan Xinya stretched and plopped down at the head of the bed, glancing back at the quilt: “Your quilt is too small; aren’t you going to change it?”
“Not really, it’s just right for me.”
“Are you by yourself?”
“……”
Ning Chu suddenly felt like Yan Xinya was like a nagging parent urging her to marry or pop out babies!
Stop with the CP ship, already!
Not hearing Ning Chu’s answer, Yan Xinya looked up and immediately changed the subject: “Hey, we still haven’t had lunch! What about you two?”
“Not yet; should we order takeout?”
“No time for that, I just saw a place downstairs that serves Shaxian!”
“Then let’s eat Shaxian.”
Ning Chu stood up from her desk, heading downstairs for lunch, but halfway there, she suddenly realized a significant issue!
Usually, classes ended around noon, and there was a two-hour break until the afternoon classes began.
When she had lived in the school dorms, it was fine; she could even catch a nap, but having to commute an hour back to her rental… felt a bit too annoying.
“Wen Yang, where do I go for lunch from now on?”
Ning Chu couldn’t think of a spot for lunchtime, tugging at Wen Yang’s sleeve while asking.
“Come to my dorm.”
Yan Xinya, walking ahead, immediately answered.
But going to the girls’ dorm during the day could get them caught; last time was just a verbal warning, but next time, she’d probably get a disciplinary mark.
Wen Yang suggested, “The library? It’s quiet, and if you don’t like reading, you can lay down and nobody will bother you.”
“Lily loves going to the library too! Right?”
Lily lightly nodded. She had met Ning Chu and Wen Yang at the library.
At that time, she was treated as a prime suspect, making her think she had somehow offended Ning Chu.
“Then that sounds good.”
Not at school, no need to worry about being spotted by clueless classmates misinterpreting things. Just a few steps out of the rental apartment, Wen Yang’s gaze fell upon Ning Chu’s delicate yet slightly chubby little hands.
Without hesitation, he grabbed hold of them.
Ning Chu feigned a few token struggles but soon chose to give in, mumbling softly, “Why do you keep holding my hand? Scared I’ll get lost or something?”
From her initial strong rejection to reluctant acceptance, she had gotten used to the feeling of being held by Wen Yang’s palm, finding it quite comfortable and reassuring.
The descent into feminine servitude was getting faster…
