368. Black History

“What? Like or dislike girls? What’s this nonsense?”
“That’s what he said.”
“Is this guy mental?”
When Ning Chu heard about Zhang Shaoqing’s “criteria for choosing a partner” from Wen Yang, she was genuinely baffled.
“Isn’t this just a paradox?! How are you gonna find a girlfriend in the future?!”
“How are you two always saying the same thing? Girlfriend’s not a race. As a rich second generation, should I even worry about this?”
The cramped Rental Apartment had only one table and chair, so all three sat cross-legged on the bed.
Zhang Shaoqing scratched his head and complained, “I think there’s something wrong with me. I was just about to win Qian Qian’s heart when suddenly, I lost all interest.”
“Also, I had a minor quarrel with my family, so I decided to escape for a few days.”
He sighed sorrowfully, “Ling Ling is still the best…”
No, according to this guy’s paradox, he would forever like his childhood friend, the Catgirl, simply because she’s not interested in him.
If Ling Ling really were to be with him, he might lose interest in her as well.
Ning Chu rolled her eyes silently. This is the villain…? He’s truly twisted, alright.
All the messy stuff in the rental apartment had already been packed and hidden in the luggage by Ning Chu. At least on the surface, there’s nothing incriminating in the entire apartment.
Leaning against the head of the bed, any trace of her previous disappointment was long gone, replaced with a sense of astonishment. She hugged her knees and asked, “So, what are you gonna do in the next few days? Rent a place?”
“My mom locked my bank card. I can’t afford it.”
The worst-case scenario happened!
The little nest that originally belonged to Ning Chu and Wen Yang now harbors an uninvited guest —— none other than Zhang Shaoqing!
From now on, they might have to resort to that lovers’ hotel for their dates…
“Hey Wen Yang, take care of me, will you?” Zhang Shaoqing, feeling no pressure at all, grinned at Wen Yang and said, “I’m super easy to take care of. Just give me some water, and two buns a day will do.”
“I’m broke. All the money’s with Ning Chu.”
He immediately turned to Ning Chu, but her head was shaking like a crazy windmill: “You go get a part-time job!”
“Ugh~ Do you think I can’t find a part-time job? I’m gonna go look for one today!”
What a person!
Ning Chu massaged her temples, annoyed. She didn’t believe this rich brat will have a good experience looking for work elsewhere.
She asked again, “Then what about Qian Qian? You gotta take responsibility right?”
“Responsible for what? I didn’t do anything to her.”
“Didn’t you think she should be into you by now?”
Zhang Shaoqing didn’t reply and instead asked Wen Yang, “Any part-time jobs nearby that settle daily? I just need a few dozen bucks for food.”
“Handing out flyers? A hundred bucks a day.”
“Sounds good! I’ll go check it out right away!”
Again, the topic drifted far from the original subject, and Ning Chu’s expression became even grimmer.
She felt like a mother! Why does this guy only know how to cause trouble for her?
Zhang Shaoqing acted like it didn’t bother him at all, but his gaze kept sneaking over to Ning Chu.
Although he didn’t look closely, he immediately noticed how Ning Chu had changed… she was no longer as naive as before. She looked more mature and exuded a womanly charm, more captivating, and with a touch of sophistication.
Zhang Shaoqing had watched Ning Chu grow from a cute little boy into a mature woman with his own eyes.
“Didn’t notice earlier, but you are even prettier after just more than half a month of being apart~”
“Go d*e!”
“Hey, check out your old photos!” He flipped through his mobile phone’s photo album and found a picture taken during military training, turning the screen toward Ning Chu’s face, “You’ve changed so much; I can’t even tell it’s you!”
The boy in the picture was wearing an oversized training uniform, looking small and pitiful, but the face was indeed nowhere near to Ning Chu’s current visage.
Since she had already evolved from a man into a succubus…
This was indeed a piece of Black History!
Ning Chu froze for a moment, her flushed cheeks quickly creeping up toward her ears. Annoyance and embarrassment mixed in equal measure. “Delete it!”
“Not gonna happen!” Zhang Shaoqing immediately withdrew his phone and smiled sleazily.
“Wen Yang! Help here!”
Upon receiving the command, Wen Yang immediately pinned Zhang Shaoqing down on the bed. He struggled like a wriggling worm but couldn’t do anything about it.
“Why the hell would you listen to her?!”
“Who should I listen to if not my girlfriend?”
“Exactly!”
Ning Chu huffed and tried to snatch away Zhang Shaoqing’s phone, but he clutched it tightly. She pulled with all her might but couldn’t wrest it out.
She knit her brows and lowered her head.
And then she searched through her own photo album on her phone.
“Look, who’s this?”
It was a picture of Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie hugging each other, collapsed in a small cart, both looking extremely befuddled.
The photo was taken at a funny angle, making Zhang Shaoqing’s face exceptionally weird.
“I can’t believe you, with your bold looks, would secretly take photos like that!”
Zhang Shaoqing struggled to grab Ning Chu’s phone, but she scooted back to maintain distance. Meanwhile, Wen Yang used his strength to pin him down again.
“If you can secretly record, why can’t I?” she smirked, “Come on, let go. Let’s check your phone gallery.”
“Is this something you can look at for free?”
“…”
Inside a man’s phone gallery, Ning Chu could already guess eight or nine out of ten things there.
For instance, inside Wen Yang’s phone, there were many pictures of beautiful models, a few risque images, and some nice shots of Ning Chu.
The first set had already been thoroughly deleted, replaced with photos of herself.
But Zhang Shaoqing wasn’t just any man—he’s a somewhat mentally twisted, perverted, uncorrupted villain. Finding disturbing content tucked away in his gallery wouldn’t be surprising.
If it was his encrypted gallery, it probably wouldn’t be very pleasant either.
“Wen Yang, you check. Delete all of our black history, and delete it completely.”
“Do you want me to gently let go, or should I snatch?” Wen Yang leaned down and asked Zhang Shaoqing.
“sh*t, you f*cking couple, bullying a good guy!”
After some commotion, the rental apartment finally quieted down.
Ning Chu, satisfied, deleted the photo, and only then realized that she had already started to regard her old self as male existence as black history…
Has she fallen to such a state of femininity?!
“Here, take the key. It’s almost noon. I must go back with Wen Yang for lunch.”
She handed the other key of the rental apartment to Zhang Shaoqing and reminded, “Wen Yang won’t support you; if you don’t want to starve, quickly find a daily paid job or one with meals provided.”
“Understood, more nagging than my mom,” Zhang Shaoqing, who looked irritated, sat in front of the desk, tidying up his luggage.
This guy seemed completely unaware that he was already a burden to Ning Chu and Wen Yang—so shameless!
As soon as the thought of being forced to pay for hotel rooms hit, Ning Chu felt a wave of anger, sending a fierce glare at Zhang Shaoqing’s back.
On second thought, this could also be a good chance to temporarily escape the perversion that had taken over her mind!
Ning Chu, Ning Chu~ you have to get a grip on yourself!
She warned herself inwardly.
