85. Strolling Around School
Here lies the main stage for Little Emperor Wen, where all sorts of chaotic events unfold endlessly.
For instance, in the villain’s plot, the bad guy once attended a rich kids’ party where the highlights included organizing formations and… a lot more. Even though Zhang Shaoqing is still just a two-faced loudmouth, it’s likely that such gatherings have already taken place in some corner, and who knows, he might have even received an invitation.
But honestly, the scenery at school is quite nice; it can definitely be deemed picturesque.
A group of three is wandering around, and before they know it, Ning Chu has brought her mother to a small park near the teaching building.
“Mom, there’s an artificial lake in the park where we can take a boat ride~”
“The environment is pretty good, huh~”
She’s wrapping her arm around her mother’s, planning to take her to the library later to flaunt her “I’m a studious college student who spends so much time reading” status.
“It’s a great place for dates, right? You come here often?”
“Well, not really…”
Wen Yang falls half a step behind the mother-daughter duo, nervously attending to them.
If he can’t impress his future mother-in-law, then his prospects with Ning Chu are looking bleak.
“Mom, let Wen Yang accompany you the whole time for the paperwork; it’ll go much smoother with him around.”
“Oh? He has connections?”
“He knows the instructor well! At least he won’t get pushed around.”
God knows if changing school registration information will lead to any hiccups.
With Wen Yang around, it’s almost like he’s got the protagonist aura; he won’t run into big trouble while handling tasks.
Wen Yang can’t understand why Ning Chu always trusts him so much.
And he’s also baffled because he manages to hand in complete answers every time.
Feeling a bit guilty, he gently pulled on Ning Chu’s hand, bending down slightly to whisper, “Don’t hype it up too much… I’m not that close with the instructor.”
“You’re my male lead~ Don’t worry.”
Ning Chu casually brushed him off and quickly wrapped her arms around her mother again.
“By the way, I’ve already written the formal application.”
She turned to Wen Yang, who promptly pulled a neatly folded application form from the pocket of his coat and handed it to her.
“Mom, you’ve got the supporting documents ready, right?”
“Do you still need to ask? Your mom’s got it covered.” Her mother smiles as she takes the application form, glancing at it before adding, “If all goes well, I’ll head back this evening. I can’t leave Ning Xin home alone.”
“Already? Just for a night?”
Ning Chu says with a disappointed pout.
Once the business is concluded, they hurry back!
Though she thought she was being discreet, her mother merely glanced at her and guessed her thoughts: “You can’t wait for me to leave, huh?”
“Not at all~ Let’s go to the library; there’s really nothing to see here.”
“Mom, I’ve been spending every lunchtime in the library lately!”
Her mother nodded, “It’s quieter to take a nap there, huh?”
“I’m studying hard!”
“Pff.”
Seeing her mother stifle a laugh, Ning Chu couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. Seriously, she’s got no regard for her face at all!
After walking a few steps, Ning Chu’s sharp ears picked up some awkward groans nearby.
Without thinking, she instinctively turned to where the sound came from, but before her brain could process it, her face went pale.
She tightly squeezed her mother’s arm and hurriedly pulled her out of the small park.
Oh no! This is not the time to run into a couple in the wild!
In broad daylight! Does the school really not care?!
There are so many hotels outside! Can’t you afford a room?
Ning Chu’s face flushed crimson, and she sneaked a peek at her mother’s expression, only to find her mother looking back with a teasing glint in her eyes.
Their gazes met for a brief moment before she quickly looked down, her ears burning.
What does that even mean?!
I’ve never done anything wild!
Not to mention she hasn’t even been touched! Last night, all she did was squeeze her legs a bit!
But there’s no way she could explain that to her mother… Thank goodness she’s a succubus and not some ordinary girl, otherwise she’d end up dating before she even got the hang of things—she might as well have her legs broken!
At least her mother supports her dating life.
“Let’s go, let’s go…” she urged, dragging her mother while burying her flushed face, “We’re heading to the library!”
Lesson learned: Never bring your mom to the school garden!
Wen Yang caught sight of her embarrassed expression and chuckled, only to be shot an intimidating glare by Ning Chu.
Once they reached the corridor outside the library, Ning Chu began her introduction: “This is just one of the libraries; there’s a bigger one too~ But this one is closer, so Wen Yang and I often come here for some reading.”
Mainly for napping and typing, to be honest.
But with finals around the corner, it looks like she’ll need to hit the books with Wen Yang for some serious cramming.
She just hoped Wen Yang wouldn’t get any weird ideas for some teacher-student play when no one was around.
“Looks pretty crowded.”
“Finals are coming up~ Everyone’s cramming last minute.”
Ning Chu made a face that clearly said “not my problem” as she looked disdainfully at the unfamiliar students: “There were ghost stories in the teaching building, and now the classrooms are open for self-study at night, and the study rooms are even more packed.”
She scanned the library through the window and noticed An An, the pervy ghost, sitting at the borrowing desk, grinning at her.
“…”
Feeling her expression stiffen unnaturally, she instinctively inched closer to her mother.
This pervy ghost is scared of Black Bean, and her mother just came from home, so she probably still smells like Black Bean.
“Is your school really haunted?”
“Every school has urban legends like that… anyway, I haven’t seen any ghosts.”
Ning Chu muttered half-heartedly.
This ghost girl somehow got recruited by the school and is now a proper teaching staff member—working by day and hunting men by night.
Thankfully, Wen Yang carries a sachet made of Black Bean fur.
“Mom, it’s about time for class.”
“I’ll go check out your classroom.”
“The classrooms change every class… I think this one is…”
Wen Yang seeing her hesitate, chimed in, “This class is in D302.”
“Right! D302!”
“Can’t even remember which classroom to go to for class.” Her mother lightly tapped Ning Chu’s head, “You go ahead; Wen Yang will take me to find your instructor.”
“Okay~”
Ning Chu gave Wen Yang a conspicuous look, urging him to perform well.
Don’t embarrass me!
Wen Yang immediately understood the implied message in his girlfriend’s eyes and nodded, his expression becoming serious.
That was just the appetizer; the main course is yet to come!
“Auntie, the instructor’s office is on the second floor.”
Her mother shot him a glance: “Mm.”
While she wasn’t particularly impressed with this poor boy, he was just a freshman; marriage was at least something to consider after graduation.
In three years, her daughter might have gone through several boyfriends. I mean, one adult female college student, a succubus at that, dating a few times during college is just too normal; as long as there are no fatal incidents, she can accept it.
Thinking this, she nodded gently, “Thanks for your help.”
“No trouble at all!”
