Chapter 266: The Girls’ Dormitory
Early in the morning, Ning Chu jumped out of bed with a loud commotion, rushing to the wardrobe to pick out an outfit for her first public appearance in women’s clothing.
Short skirts and shorts aren’t suitable; otherwise, her tail would have to be wrapped around her thighs all day, making it impossible to move.
Plus, with the weather getting cold, those outfits would be freezing and could easily give her a cold.
“Up at six already?”
Wen Yang was woken up by Ning Chu’s racket, yawning as he propped himself up against the wall, looking at Ning Chu, who was practically diving into the wardrobe with her tail sticking up.
“Just pick any piece to wear.”
“I don’t really like long skirts… If I wear pants, my tail won’t have any room to move.”
He yawned again, complaining with a touch of drama, “If you’re going to think about this, you might as well help me out here first.”
Ning Chu felt her ears redden a bit but pretended not to hear, picking out a white long dress and grabbing the underwear she bought while shopping last night before turning to the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower!”
It was rare that she didn’t do anything with Wen Yang the night before; they came back from shopping at eight, then she typed away working on her novel until twelve, finally crawling into bed under Wen Yang’s expectant gaze and just falling asleep.
Despite her fast typing speed, writing a novel still requires brainpower… Even if it’s just a slightly adapted autobiography.
“Wen Yang!”
Just under a minute after entering the bathroom, Ning Chu suddenly screamed, startling Wen Yang so much he almost jumped up, thinking there was a cockroach or mouse in the house.
But her tone was excited as she rushed over, phone in hand, pointing the screen at Wen Yang’s face. “Wen Yang! Wen Yang! Look!”
“I can’t believe it! Someone just gave me a hundred bucks! A hundred!”
“Who is this person? A guy or a girl?” Wen Yang’s curiosity veered off in a weird direction.
“Who cares if it’s a guy or a girl! It’s a hundred bucks!”
Ning Chu was pumped, happily checking the author’s backend before her voice quickly turned calm: “Out of a hundred-dollar reward, we only get forty-seven…”
“Uh, better than nothing, I guess.”
“Yeah… it’s enough for us to eat for a day.” She turned back towards the bathroom, muttering, “Why didn’t they just send me the money directly~”
After showering and changing into her long skirt, Ning Chu stood in front of the mirror, assessing how she looked.
Not too bad; she didn’t have that ‘plain girl’ feel she had imagined.
The white dress added a bit of purity to her vibe but also made her already youthful face look even younger.
She ruffled her hair, a bit dissatisfied: “When can I grow it longer…”
She wanted that black long straight hairstyle like in anime!
“Growing out your hair takes years, I guess?”
Wen Yang stood behind her, helping her comb her hair: “I like long hair too.”
“Right~ But long hair is a hassle, and it sheds all over.” Ning Chu took the comb from Wen Yang and ordered, “You should go clean the bathroom drain; it’s clogged with my hair.”
Her hair only reached her neck at its longest and could cover her ears a bit; her bangs had just been trimmed and were barely over her eyebrows.
Not too long, but every time she washed her hair, she could grab a handful, which was scary enough to make her think she was going bald.
But if she counted closely, it was really just a few strands, it was just that the length made it seem like much more.
After tidying up, the two of them left at seven.
They departed half an hour earlier than usual; Ning Chu had made plans with Lily to help her with some makeup that wouldn’t look obvious to even the densest of guys.
For her first public appearance in women’s clothing as Wen Yang’s girlfriend, she couldn’t be considered lacking in looks!
In reality, compared to those high-value female supporting characters, Ning Chu held her own and was pretty enough that personal experience or taste would differentiate between them.
But even with her looks, someone like Lily, the crafty girl, still needed makeup!
She used to not wear makeup at all! Back when they lived in the girls’ dorm, Ning Chu never saw Lily remove her makeup at night.
“I’m going to the girls’ dorm.”
“Okay, then I’ll head back to the dorm too; I’m sure Shaoqing hasn’t woken up yet.”
“He and Wang Jie have been late every day lately.”
After briefly saying goodbye to Wen Yang, Ning Chu looked nervously at the girls’ dorm entrance.
Last time she went in and out of the girls’ dorm, someone reported her, and she got scolded by the counselor.
This time, wearing women’s clothing, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Humiliation! A guy dresses as a girl and sneaks into the girls’ dorm…
She hoped there wouldn’t be headlines with her as the main character tomorrow on the school forum.
“Ning Chu~”
From behind the tightly shut glass door of the dorm, Yan Xinya appeared, holding her student card.
She waved at Ning Chu while swiping the card to open the door. “Come in!”
Ning Chu ran forward, feeling like a thief entering the dormitory. “I hope I won’t get reported again!”
“Not a chance~ You’re dressed so cute, who would report you~”
“Cute…”
At seven-thirty, with over half an hour until class, there were barely any students in the hallway.
As Ning Chu stepped into the first-floor dormitory, a big white basketball wobbled right in front of her.
Lin Li glanced at her, puffing up her chest proudly, without a hint of shyness on her face.
Fox spirit!
Perhaps because the weather was cooling down, Lily wasn’t wearing her usual tank top and mini skirt but was dressed in long comfy cotton clothes, her tail casually swaying out of a hole behind her.
Ning Chu stealthily crept closer, stretching her hand to sneakily grab Lily’s tail, only to get “slapped” in the face by the heart-shaped tip of it.
Lily finally turned to look at her, her expression cool but snorted with a touch of pride, “Sit down, I’m doing makeup.”
This girl was always quiet in daily life.
“Okay.”
She obediently sat down as Lily used hair bands and clips to pin her bangs and sides back, exposing her smooth forehead and temples.
“Light makeup?”
“Just the kind you usually do, so it doesn’t look obvious.”
Ning Chu sat still with her eyes closed. Although Lily had a knack for looking down on others, she trusted her work.
At least she was much more reliable than Zhang Shaoqing.
“When will you have time to teach me how to do makeup? I can’t always rely on you.”
“This weekend.”
Yan Xinya chimed in, “Lily is going back this weekend to grab winter clothes and blankets; why not come along? It’s not too far.”
Wolf girl looked excited. “We’ll stay overnight at Lily’s villa~ I’ve never stayed in a villa before!”
“A villa?!” Ning Chu was shocked.
Wow! Among her friends, only she and Wen Yang were broke!
Lily denied it with her straight face. “Nope.”
“Lily’s family must have one of those European-style mansions! You have to take a car just to enter!”
“Not at all!”
“A bedroom two hundred square meters! Every morning, you wake up with servants waiting on you! The bathroom is larger than my house~”
Lily’s voice was starting to crack. “Really not!”
Ning Chu silently shot a side-eye at the wolf girl.
Seriously, her imagination was way too Mary Sue!
