Chapter 46: The Self-Aware Wen Yang
Since Wen Yang left the door, Ning Chu felt restless, listening to music and watching TV, trying to immerse herself in the drama to pass this excruciating time.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shaoqing leaned closer to Wang Jie, grinning as he whispered defamatory remarks about his reputation.
“Hey, Wang Jie! Have you noticed? Ning Chu really seems to like Wen Yang.”
“Did you see how shy he was earlier? His face is looking more and more like a girl.”
“Look at that chest, even though it’s pretty flat, it’s still got a little something… Do you think he secretly took some pills just to please Wen Yang?”
But in the plot, even if a woman suddenly appeared in the dormitory, this clueless guy Wang Jie just stared blankly and then shook his head decisively. “Stop talking nonsense, Ning Chu will get mad.”
“No, didn’t you notice how much Ning Chu cares about Wen Yang? Just look at that ‘little wife’ expression!”
Wang Jie was focused on playing a game, glancing sideways at the blonde idiot, muttering, “When you were in a bad mood before, didn’t he care about you too? Acting all clumsy in comforting you, so does that mean he likes you too?”
“Uh…”
Recalling Ning Chu’s awkward attempts to comfort and apologize earlier, Zhang Shaoqing scratched the back of his head, unable to retort.
“I think Ning Chu is just that kind of person, warm-hearted, used to taking care of friends around him. Although it can sometimes be annoying, it’s also pretty nice~ Why do you always pick on him?”
“You’re trying to make Ning Chu sound like a saint.”
Zhang Shaoqing scoffed, glancing back at Ning Chu, only to see her suddenly clutching her abdomen, her face paling drastically.
“What’s wrong?!”
“Nothing, just a stomachache,” Ning Chu quickly waved her hand, but the smile on her lips was hard to hide.
Having experienced this a few times, she understood that whenever the plot was disrupted, her body would react with some abnormality, like a stomachache.
“Are you a masochist?”
“Where’s that coming from?”
It worked! After two weeks of effort, Wen Yang consciously maintained his virginity! This stomachache must mean Wen Yang actively rejected the occurrence of a certain plot!
Perhaps what he said to Wen Yang before he left was crucial too!
The magic has learned to defeat itself~
But wait, does this mean he’s about to turn more feminine again?
Ning Chu’s smile vanished abruptly, leaving only an overwhelming sadness within.
Who knows where he would transform this time?
Last time it was his chest, his hips, his face—leaving him now looking like a pretty boy with a baby face and a body resembling a developing little girl.
When Ning Chu first crossed over, he never expected that his starting image as a delicate little boy would actually turn out to be his most manly appearance.
But if he neglects the plot, he’ll just get hammered…
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt, collapsing helplessly onto the table.
“Ning Chu, what are we having for dinner?” Zhang Shaoqing approached without a clue, “Shall we combine for a discount?”
“I’ll just grab some food from the cafeteria.”
With just a few bucks left, Ning Chu considered buying two packets of instant noodles to take back.
“What’s good at the cafeteria? I’ll treat you~”
“Forget it.”
Not getting the answer he wanted, Zhang Shaoqing turned back and ran to Wang Jie’s side: “Wang Jie! Let’s combine for a discount~”
About an hour later, the sky outside had turned completely dark, and Ning Chu’s stomach began to feel the hunger pangs.
Only then did he slowly rise, worry plastered across his face as he headed outside the dormitory.
“Ning Chu! Bring me back a bottle of cola!” Wang Jie was the first to notice his movements, shouting, “I’ll transfer you the money first!”
“Okay!”
“I want iced tea, and a box of ice cream! Oh, and a cup of yogurt, strawberry flavor.”
Ning Chu turned back, looking at Zhang Shaoqing’s smirking face, and with a smile nodded, “Sure… call me ‘dad’ and I’ll buy it for you.”
He quickly found the chance to fight back.
“Wang Jie doesn’t even have to call!”
“He’s only asking for a bottle of cola, while you want drinks, ice cream, and yogurt.”
Zhang Shaoqing’s face showed clear displeasure, his gaze fixed on Ning Chu, the intensity of which made Ning Chu a bit nervous.
Uh-oh, did I go a bit too far?!
“Dad.”
The barely audible words floated into Ning Chu’s ears.
“Huh?”
“I’ve transferred the money to you, hurry up!”
“Sure thing!”
Whoa, does this villain have hidden tsundere attributes?!
Ning Chu felt cheerful all of a sudden, happily leaving the dormitory.
As the lights brightened up the dorm area, unlike before, red light strips hung from the green trees along the path.
He bypassed the large garden in the dorm area, fearing he might run into the couples hanging out, his gaze wondering over the light strips, slightly puzzled.
“What’s this festival for?”
After walking several meters and rounding a corner, he saw a banner strung up in the middle of the road.
“Happy National Day? National Day?”
Looks like this parallel world’s holidays are just like the previous ones…
Now for the important part!
Ning Chu quickly checked the holiday dates on his phone and was astonished to find that from October onwards, National Day has a seven-day break.
No way! A full seven-day holiday without adjustments! Plus these two weekend days make for an entire nine days! What kind of paradise is this?
How come no one mentioned it to him before?!
Doesn’t that mean those sly foxes have plenty of chances to cozy up to Wen Yang during this break?!
The joy from the holiday was abruptly shattered, Ning Chu’s expression stiffened as he halted his steps toward the supermarket and turned to walk toward the school’s backdoor.
No way, I can’t shake this off.
Unlike before when they were having military training the next day, those vixens might still have some reservations. But this long holiday gives the girls plenty of opportunities to work their charms!
Thinking back, what longer main storylines involved extended time gaps?
Working part-time out of town during the holiday, the landlady’s sister repeatedly asking for DNA as rent payment?
Being drugged and fainting, only to wake up trapped in a basement for three days and nights at the hands of a fox lady?
Ning Chu figured Wen Yang wouldn’t casually rent a place while just grabbing a meal, let alone be drugged in plain sight, right?
Although chances are it’s just him overthinking, the anxiety in his heart persisted.
“Let’s head to the supermarket, I’ll just take a quick look while passing by…”
Ning Chu muttered, changing direction, his pace quickly shifting from a stroll to a brisk walk, eventually jogging out of the school’s backdoor onto the street.
He looked around, feeling troubled at the numerous eateries lining the street.
“Which restaurant are you guys eating at? What booth number?”
After sending a message to Wen Yang, he anxiously paced in place, waiting a few minutes until he finally received a reply.
“At the street stall, right across from that previous Sichuan restaurant, we’re just by the curb.”
“What’s up? Are you coming? You better hurry, the dishes are already on the table.”
Confirming the location, Ning Chu quickened his pace, even finding a moment to send another message.
“I’m just going to the supermarket to buy something to eat.”
