047. Bad Woman!
Thanks to the holiday break, the street behind the school was bustling with college students, with every restaurant packed to the brim. Many shops had set up tables and chairs on the sidewalk to boost traffic.
Walking down this lively street filled with the aroma of barbecue smoke, spicy flavors, and sweet-and-sour delights… every shop had its own enticing scent wafting through the air.
Ning Chu was hungry…
So tempting!
It was almost eight o’clock, and he still hadn’t had dinner.
He jogged over to the entrance of a Sichuan restaurant and cast a glance at the large food stall across the street. There was Wen Yang, his tall and upright figure immediately catching his eye.
Seeing Wen Yang, the anxiety in his heart eased a bit.
But wait, Wen Yang had two girls by his side… Luckily, they were keeping a respectful distance. No signs of any flirting, thank goodness.
Ah, the perks of being the protagonist—while Wen Yang could pull off an air of “royalty” just by eating, Ning Chu was stuck worrying about being “toyed with.”
He knew this was unavoidable and didn’t let it bother him too much. As long as Wen Yang’s virginity was intact and he still held a healthy respect for intimacy, that was enough.
He had no intention of joining the crowd, just observed from afar before continuing his way to the supermarket outside the school.
The supermarkets on and off campus were quite similar, but the off-campus one offered a better shopping experience with a wider variety. Of course, given that this place was in the foothills, prices were a little higher than in the urban areas below.
“I wonder which girl Wen Yang turned down and which plot got wrecked.”
“Even more curious about where he became so… soft…”
Ning Chu worriedly glanced down at his chest. Beneath the large graphic on his short sleeves, his little “red bean” was hardly noticeable, but there were hints of some movement.
Hasn’t his chest changed at all?
He always realized his feminization a bit too late. After all, staring in the mirror all day, it was natural he wouldn’t immediately catch every little change.
After buying his things at the supermarket, he passed by that food stall again on his way back to school.
And bam! His legs seemed to have been nailed to the ground.
What was happening? Why was Wen Yang slumped over the table?!
Was he drunk?
Weren’t they supposed to tell him not to drink too much? Hello, someone was paying attention! He had even praised Wen Yang for learning to refuse!
What if some girl took advantage of him in this state?!
Ning Chu furrowed his brow, debating whether to march over and haul Wen Yang away or wait for someone else from class to take him back to the dorm.
Let’s be real; with his small build, he couldn’t lift Wen Yang, let alone support him.
On the other hand… if some plot got triggered, Wen Yang might not come back tonight.
Without thinking too much longer, Ning Chu headed straight for the food stall.
“What happened that he suddenly collapsed?” Han Jingye, being the instructor and the one who organized this gathering, was also at the dinner. He sat across from Wen Yang and with a grin commented, “His alcohol tolerance isn’t great; I hardly saw him drink at all.”
“Someone go get him a cup of hot water. Lin Li, you help clean up the table and see if you can wake him up.”
“Sure~”
With a giggle that covered her mouth, Lin Li’s sharp ears perked up, and her big tail began swaying unconsciously beneath her short skirt.
Her every smile was captivating, and as she moved, the half-exposed white skin danced in a way that made the few male classmates at the table avert their gaze self-consciously.
“Can’t wake him up~” Lin Li’s voice was as soft as cotton candy, sweet and tempting all at once.
“Maybe I should take him back? I’ve finished eating anyway,” she proposed.
Han Jingye frowned slightly but after a moment nodded, “I’ll have someone help you.”
“No need, I drove myself.”
He sensed something was off. Though many rich second-generation students would park on campus for convenience, the school was only about two hundred meters away from here.
“Isn’t there a long break coming up? I was planning to head home right after the gathering.”
Han Jingye nodded, relieved, “Alright, you can help him into the car. This guy is nearly six feet tall.”
“Lin Li, you just need to drop him off at the boys’ dorm, I’ll call his roommate to come down.”
“Mhm, got it.”
A male classmate helped lift Wen Yang to his feet, and Lin Li was positively beaming, her eyes crescent-shaped with joy.
“My car is right on the street, just a few steps away.” She jogged ahead to support Wen Yang from the other side, stealthily inhaling his scent, her cheeks flushing a soft pink.
“Wait! Wait!”
A sudden urgent call rang out on the street. Lin Li turned to see a small figure that was hard to distinguish as male or female running over.
“Who is that?”
She instinctively asked, and a classmate replied, “It’s Wen Yang’s roommate; I think his name is Ning Chu? They seem to be pretty close.”
“Ning Chu? A guy…”
Ning Chu rushed over to Wen Yang’s side, barely catching his breath as he looked up at Wen Yang’s face, “Is he drunk?”
Considering his completely unresponsive state, being supported by two male classmates, he looked more like he was in a coma than tipsy.
He’d seen Wen Yang drunk before.
“Yeah, his alcohol tolerance is pretty bad; he didn’t drink much before passing out.”
He glanced at the girl who spoke, his eyes involuntarily drawn to her sharp ears and that swaying fiery red tail behind her.
A fox girl! Just like that, a scheming fox had shown up to try to snag Wen Yang!
Ning Chu’s expression turned a shade darker. He nodded, “Alright, I’ll handle taking him back. I need to go back too.”
“You?” Lin Li sized him up, glancing at his barely-over-five-foot frame, and scoffed, “Are you sure you can manage?”
“I’ll just borrow a little cart!”
Lin Li sensed Ning Chu’s wariness towards her and the possessiveness toward Wen Yang. Her beautiful fox eyes narrowed just a bit as she assessed him, her gaze lingering on his slightly puffy chest before breaking into a dazzling smile and throwing her arms around his neck.
Ning Chu felt Lin Li’s cool, delicate skin send goosebumps all over him.
He could smell the rich scent of woman drifting off the fox girl. A sneaky glance revealed her ample curves up close, but this pretty fox’s proximity didn’t make him swoon; in fact, it only intensified his discomfort.
This woman was on an entirely different level from the others!
Frozen in place, Lin Li leaned in closer, whispering sultrily in his ear, “Do you like him?”
“……”
“Well, isn’t that great~ Let’s team up!”
What on earth—are the Little Emperors playing like this now?
I didn’t write anything like that in my book!
“No! I just want to take him back to the dorm!”
“I’ve heard about you for ages~ Last time Yuan Yuan invited him to the bar, you were the one who said no, right?” Lin Li teased, ruffling Ning Chu’s hair, “Don’t be so greedy~ Big sister is more than happy to share!”
“……”
