34. Bad Woman!
That fiery sensation seemed to still linger on the back of her hand, making her heart race with unease.
Ning Chu sat at her desk, glancing down at her hand, and with clear distaste, wiped it on her clothes.
She exhaled softly, trying to calm her jumbled emotions, then pulled out her mobile phone to send a message to Zhang Shaoqing: “Where did you and Wang Jie go?”
Moments later, Zhang Shaoqing sent back a picture.
The photo showed a cluttered two-lane street filled with street vendors on both sides.
So, they went off-campus to buy snacks…
“Getting some food, then going back to watch Wen Yang’s competition.”
This guy didn’t even know that Wen Yang had fallen during the race. Even though his injuries would heal quickly, Ning Chu didn’t plan to let him participate in the following events.
Her nose twitched slightly, and Ning Chu turned her head toward the balcony, muttering with full distaste: “How come you’re so sensitive to this kind of smell?”
The smell had clearly grown much stronger. It seems Wen Yang had already taken care of it.
He spent half an hour outside but only a minute in the dormitory bathroom.
Indeed, a little while later, with the sound of the flush, Ning Chu noticed the smell had significantly faded. Wen Yang walked back into the room looking refreshed, but when he saw her, he immediately became timid, his face turning red as he avoided her gaze.
Looking at his bashful virgin-like expression, Ning Chu couldn’t help but smile and teased, “Not bad this time, huh?”
“…”
If Ning Chu hadn’t accidentally brushed against the g*n earlier, it wouldn’t have been so quick.
It was practically Ning Chu helping him with her hands…
Wen Yang didn’t dare to explain, walking straight to the computer to sit down: “Want to duo queue?”
“Eh, not really in the mood.”
While he played around on his phone, he still kept sneaking glances at Ning Chu, his mind full of all kinds of chaotic thoughts.
Ning Chu was a strange girl. Sometimes she dared to spy on him while he used the restroom, suggesting he handle his physiological issues on his own, and other times she was embarrassingly shy, dodging him whenever she saw him…
Because sometimes she just teased him unilaterally?
From this, Ning Chu seemed to be an offensive powerhouse but quite defensive.
Ning Chu was originally thinking of taking a nap after returning to the dormitory, but the faint sound of the broadcast from the playground nearby disrupted her, leaving her with no thoughts of sleeping.
As noon approached, she ordered takeout. Leaning her head on her hand, she aimlessly clicked away at popular videos on a webpage to pass the time.
“Ning Chu, I’ll be better this afternoon and we can go out?”
“Where?”
“Just… wander around a bit…”
Wen Yang glanced at his banking app on his phone, confirming his savings, and removed the option of going to the movie.
Without lifting her head, Ning Chu responded: “Invite Shaoqing and the others along? Or call Xinya and Lily?”
“Uh… just the two of us? You wear that female outfit…”
Wow! He’s definitely been waiting for this!
If it’s just the two of them going out and she wore a dress, wouldn’t it be a date?
Daydreaming, aren’t we?
“I don’t like wearing skirts. I’m taking a nap this afternoon.”
“Alright.”
Wen Yang didn’t push, pondering ways to reasonably and non-repulsively get Ning Chu to wear a female outfit.
How come a good girl doesn’t wear a female outfit?
After watching her interested videos, Ning Chu opened the school forum.
After an hour, there were already three heated posts about Wen Yang on the forum.
One post featured photos of Wen Yang participating in the sports meet. The photography techniques were good, capturing Wen Yang’s sunny demeanor and making him appear exceptionally handsome.
Although there were only a few photos, the comments were filled with fangirls shrieking “male god”!
“Even when he falls, he’s handsome!”
“Ahhh! More pictures!”
“Husband!”
After skimming through the comments, Ning Chu, out of jealousy and envy, closed the post.
Being handsome is great, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, her role in the book was the female sidekick, not the male protagonist.
She needed to start thinking about how to deal with the upcoming troubles…
She glanced at Wen Yang sitting at the computer and tested him, “Wen Yang, you’re getting popular on the school forum.”
“Hmm.”
“Are you not happy? A lot of girls think of you as their male god.” Ning Chu couldn’t help but bring a hint of jealousy into her voice, “If you want, girls will start chasing you in a heartbeat.”
“It would be even better if they were wealthy older women. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about money matters.”
Wen Yang refused without hesitation, “I’ve got a good stomach; can’t handle being kept.”
“Hmm?”
“When the boss lady of the café noticed you, didn’t you turn her down the same way?”
Smiling, Ning Chu continued to probe, “So wouldn’t it be easier for you to find a girlfriend now?”
“Whenever is fine. Not in a rush.”
Hearing this answer, she felt oddly less pleased.
Having spent so much time with Wen Yang, this male protagonist seemed to have utterly regarded her as his target… showing a disdainful look toward other girls.
That wasn’t right…
Normally, any adult being constrained should feel annoyed, right?
And any man with girls chasing after him should turn into a flirt, right?
She wasn’t more beautiful than other secondary female characters, with words like “dazzling” and “world-shaking” clearly not fitting her. Talking about figures, she was rather flat.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
A sudden knock on the dormitory door interrupted Ning Chu’s train of thought.
It was clearly not Zhang Shaoqing or Wang Jie; those two would never bother to knock when entering the dormitory—kicking the door would be a big deal itself.
Wen Yang casually shouted, “Come in!”
A diminutive and adorable girl with glasses peeked in, just showing her head.
“What’s up?”
“Um… hey, classmate, can you help me download some software? If possible, please sign up as well.”
Wen Yang paused for a moment, then got up and said, “Alright.”
Ning Chu was amazed inwardly.
Isn’t this street advertising? What a move!
Last time when she worked part-time in street advertising,
she didn’t think of this and had to suffer in the sun until she got heatstroke.
And this woman…
Her eyes were fixed on that face, setting off alarm bells in her heart.
A girl with glasses! Pretty and quiet.
The drama plot had similar girls, but it’s uncertain if this was the same one.
Ning Chu instantly moved forward, pushing Wen Yang aside, her face clearly saying “Not welcome”: “This is a boys’ dormitory!”
She tried to minimize their contact as much as possible—what if it triggered a plot point?
The glasses girl looked quite shy, always lowering her head, and stammered as she explained, “I didn’t see the dorm supervisor downstairs…”
Wen Yang had already downloaded the software, but just as he prepared to sign up, he frowned, took a step back, and regarded the glasses girl with caution.
“Online loans?”
“Not exactly. This is an official loan platform, just in case you need money in a rush.”
Another bad woman!
Ning Chu was absolutely right! If these pretty women approach, they definitely have ulterior motives!
What an evil heart!
Wen Yang’s face darkened, already gripping the door, and Ning Chu immediately cooperated, directly pushing the glasses girl out of the dormitory.
Once the door closed, it became peaceful immediately.
“An online loan app?” Ning Chu then turned to confirm with Wen Yang.
“Uh-huh.”
In the previous life, campus loans were already heavily regulated, so it’s strange such issues still exist here.
“If you’re short of money, come to me or Zhang Shaoqing. But don’t take out any loans.” She earnestly reminded, “Don’t gamble on luck.”
Wen Yang obediently nodded, “Okay.”
—————-
Nowadays, online loans seem to be much more abolished and standardized. In the past, there were similar incidents where a roommate stupidly registered using his ID card.
