06. Wen Yang’s XP
4/25
The new instructor arrived the next day.
She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, heavily made up and dressed to the nines.
Ning Chu propped her chin on her hands, staring at the instructor on stage, not even bothering to remember her name.
Although the lady was somewhat pretty for her age, the signs of aging were hard to hide, and most importantly, the male protagonist didn’t have such a fondness for treasure chests like that.
The coffee shop boss lady, even though she was nearly thirty, was still acceptable. But over forty? That was out of Wen Yang’s league.
“Next week’s sports meeting, everyone needs to sign up for at least one event!”
“Old hag~” Zhang Shaoqing was as rebellious as ever, muttering under his breath, “Look at all that makeup—thicker than a cement wall, and she talks so aggressively. You’d think she was hitting menopause!”
Ning Chu didn’t chime in; instead, she glanced to the side.
Yan Xinya seemed to have really latched onto her…
Was she really treating her like a good friend? Or did she have a thing for girls? Perhaps she was just trying to get closer to Wen Yang.
Noticing Ning Chu’s gaze, the Wolf Girl looked up and flashed her a bright smile.
That smile felt a bit too loaded with meaning…
Ning Chu frowned slightly, asking in dissatisfaction, “You’re not thinking of something bad, are you?”
“Not at all!” The Wolf Girl’s pointed ears drooped in guilt. “How could I bite the hand that feeds me?”
Playing matchmaker for Ning Chu and Wen Yang wasn’t a bad deed at all!
She had hesitated at first, worried she might be misreading the situation, but after their time together yesterday, she was convinced these two had something going on!
They were only a thin pane of glass away from being a couple!
And she was going to be the one to break that glass.
Imagining the sweet moments between Ning Chu and Wen Yang made her tail wag excitedly, her ears perked up, and a smile crept onto her face.
A one-meter-six girl sneaking into the boys’ dormitory for her crush~
A public male god protecting his purity while never touching other women was becoming quite the “wife-controlled” gentleman~
Sweet!
So sweet!
When could their little royal romance finally unfold? She’d happily pay to see it!
Ning Chu still eyed Yan Xinya suspiciously, but she didn’t actually seem to have any intentions towards Wen Yang.
In fact, she actively kept her distance from him…
This girl didn’t seem like the deep-thinking type.
Setting aside her concerns about Yan Xinya for now, she turned her attention to Wen Yang.
For some reason, he looked really troubled today, lost in thought.
Ning Chu poked his arm. “What are you thinking about?”
“Ah? Nothing.” Wen Yang shook his head, his face still scrunched in a frown.
What on earth should he get Ning Chu as a gift?
What method could he use to get his roommate and Ning Chu out of the dormitory for half an hour of peace?
Ning Chu was way too clingy, practically glued to his side. Maybe he could ask her to help…
He involuntarily glanced at Ning Chu’s luscious, glistening lips and hastily quelled his sinful urges.
“Why are you both acting so weird?”
Ning Chu frowned as she cast another look at the nonstop talking instructor up front and whispered to Wen Yang, “So, what kind of girl do you like the most right now?”
She was probing into Wen Yang’s current XP (experience points).
A man’s XP tends to shift with age and reading experience, especially for a male protagonist in a royal romance.
But Wen Yang would definitely show some XP preferences at specific stages.
Wen Yang was taken aback, looking down at Ning Chu’s youthful face.
Was she being this direct?
Thinking he was shy, Ning Chu quietly asked, “Is it the loli type? The shorter ones?”
He subconsciously nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.
So, at this stage, Wen Yang really did like girls like Wen Wen!
Ning Chu was shocked, her brows knitting together even tighter.
As for whether Wen Yang had feelings for her? The phrase “keeping your eye on the pot while eating from the bowl” describes greed perfectly, while “eating hotpot” describes the yellow novel male protagonist.
Not only was he eyeing the pot while eating from the bowl, but he was also maintaining a circle of favorite ingredients around the pot, ready to dip in at any time.
Ning Chu feared she was overthinking, so she pressed on, “So, do you like older girls?”
Wen Yang became even more awkward, his face a bit flushed, but he still managed to weakly nod, hoping Ning Chu would mature a little too.
Though there was something unique about the taste of young pigeons…
Uh-oh! Wen Wen perfectly matched his requirements!
With a standard loli face, a height of 1.5 meters, and D-cup basketballs!
Sure, Ning Chu had a youthful, loli face too, but she was too young! Wen Yang was clearly not talking about her.
She absolutely could not let Wen Wen get close to Wen Yang! Otherwise, the moment they met and chatted for a bit, perfect match for Wen Yang’s XP Wen Wen would probably turn into a juicer!
“There’s a career planning seminar Thursday afternoon.”
A seminar?!
Ning Chu looked up in shock at the instructor.
“The whole department is required to attend; the location will be announced in the group chat. Class leaders need to do their jobs, and attendance will be taken. Anyone not showing up will be treated as absent.”
“That’s all. Class leaders, come find me afterward. The rest can leave.”
Ning Chu’s face darkened. Since it was a department-wide seminar, Wen Wen would surely be there.
“Let’s go, let’s go~ d*mn it, old hag!”
Zhang Shaoqing stood up, grumbling, and led his little sidekick Wang Jie out. “One troublesome person leaves, and another one shows up.”
“Wang Jie, where are you planning to hang out this weekend? KTV?”
“Just the two of us?”
“Why not bring along a couple of cute girls to sing with us?”
Ning Chu buried her face on the table, feeling lifeless. Zhang Shaoqing was never one to stay put; anything he wouldn’t dare do himself, he roped Wang Jie into doing. Wang Jie would end up getting led astray eventually too.
“Ning Chu, I’m going over there.”
“I’m going too!”
Both class leaders were now Ning Chu’s friends, and as she watched the two of them walking side by side toward the instructor, a faint smile spread across her lips.
Wen Yang was fit, and Yan Xinya had a great figure. Together they looked like a couple working out together, keeping each other in check.
Indeed, she needed to keep an eye on the Wolf Girl!
Ning Chu rubbed her temples, realizing that now she was more concerned about Wen Yang’s virginity as a girl.
Back when Wen Yang was the male lead, at least she had the p*nis, which kept the plot intact. But now that he was the male lead, his first target would be her.
At the same time, she needed to find some plot to sabotage and investigate what the consequences of breaking the storyline were after becoming female.
Glancing back, Ning Chu spotted Succubus Lily sitting in the back row, engrossed in a book.
This one wouldn’t do! This was a succubus! Way too powerful.
Ning Chu recalled the characters in her surroundings.
Dormitory Supervisor Uncle? He hadn’t bothered her; still a pure love 1V1.
Should she just go ahead and spay the little female cat they’d been raising in the dorm?
