054. Ninety Points!
“Wow, look who decided to come back!”
“Two whole days and nights! That’s quite a long date you had!”
It was nighttime when Ning Chu stepped through the dormitory door, only to be greeted by Zhang Shaoqing’s sarcastic tone.
He glanced up at the annoying antagonist, rolled his eyes without saying a word, and walked dejectedly towards his desk.
So tired~
He slumped over the wooden desk, his cheek pressed against the cool surface, breathing heavily with slightly parted lips.
Even though Wen Yang had taken care of him after his heatstroke by finding a milk tea shop with air conditioning, he still felt exhausted after two days of this.
Last night, he barely got any sleep—it’s hard to feel at ease in a strange environment.
“Ning Chu, here’s your pay for today.”
Ning Chu raised his hand and waved dismissively: “Forget it, I’m giving it all to you.”
Though he hadn’t caused much of a mess, he definitely had been a load—most of the workload was handled by Wen Yang, after all.
Accepting this money felt morally questionable.
“You didn’t take it yesterday either…”
“Weren’t you the one who paid for last night’s late-night snack and the hotel? I haven’t done anything over the past two days.”
Seeing Wen Yang still hesitate, Ning Chu raised his voice a bit: “Stop dragging your feet, you’re acting like a wimp.”
“Fine.”
“Wow, Ning Chu’s started handing over his paycheck now?”
He picked up an empty bottle from the table and tossed it at Zhang Shaoqing’s face.
Not gonna pay you any mind and you’re still pushing your luck!
Ning Chu shot Zhang Shaoqing a glare, sulked, and then grabbed his pajamas from the wardrobe to head for the bathroom.
Facing that increasingly feminine body again, he walked into the bathroom feeling defeated, sighing as he leaned against the door.
Though his chest was still small, his body was clearly leaning more towards a developed teenage girl.
If only this were my girlfriend’s body! But no, it’s MY body!
While Ning Chu was lamenting in the bathroom, Wen Yang in the dorm was excitedly counting the income from the last two days. After deducting accommodation and meals, he was left with three or four hundred bucks.
Adding in the two hundred extra he tricked Ning Chu into working as a waiter…
He finally had some time to k*ll, not worrying about Ning Chu unexpectedly popping up while he was in the shower. He pulled out his phone, ready to text the Coffee Shop Boss Lady.
“Sis, I’ve got Ning Chu all set!”
But just as he was about to hit send, he hesitated.
It suddenly felt like he was betraying Ning Chu; after all, Ning Chu was clearly a bit averse to the boss lady—was it the age gap or something else?
Wealthy women are ready to spoil Ning Chu, but Ning Chu isn’t even open to it!
He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled about whether he should continue to coax Ning Chu into that coffee shop job.
“Shaoqing.”
“What?”
“A rich woman likes Ning Chu, but it seems like Ning Chu really doesn’t like her. Do you think I should play wingman for that rich woman?”
Zhang Shaoqing turned his head in shock: “Him? The little guy who’s just one sixty tall?”
“Ning Chu’s kind of handsome… Good-looking, right? She’s into that type!”
“Now that’s a headache…” he said seriously, “Do you think Ning Chu is putting on an act, pretending not to like her to reel in the rich woman?”
“Or maybe right now he really doesn’t want to live off a woman, but deepening his connection with her could widen his options down the line—if he decides he wants to later, he could go back to that rich woman!”
Wen Yang was a bit taken aback by that idea.
It seemed somewhat reasonable?
Besides, it was just working part-time at a coffee shop. The boss lady wasn’t gonna eat Ning Chu!
“Wow, you really are returning good for evil—look at how many good opportunities Ning Chu’s messed up for you!”
Wen Yang didn’t mind the so-called “evil,” as there were plenty of girls chasing him, and even after stirring up trouble with a couple, there were still plenty more lined up behind them.
Plus, what Ning Chu said made sense. Guys should be responsible toward girls—not just jump at the sight of a pretty face. Finding a girlfriend is something to do carefully.
“What are you talking about?”
Ning Chu strolled in wearing a white shirt, his legs bare as he pushed the door open. He squinted suspiciously at Wen Yang, who was sitting in front of the computer.
Is that guy secretly planning to date other girls behind my back again?!
He hadn’t even been back for an hour! Now he wants to sneak out again tonight?
He didn’t even have time to put on his pants as he rushed over to Wen Yang’s side, as if whispering like a devil in his ear: “What were you just talking about? You look so guilty… Are you meeting up with some girls tonight?”
“Uh? No.”
The faint scent of shower gel wafted into Wen Yang’s nose, and as he rubbed it, he turned to look, his gaze landing perfectly on Ning Chu’s legs.
The shirt was just long enough to cover his b*tt and hide his underwear, making it seem like he wasn’t wearing anything on the bottom. His two full, snow-white thighs peeked out from underneath the shirt, quivering slightly as Ning Chu moved.
Given the similar height and weight, men typically had slender, straight legs, while women’s legs were fuller and curvier.
But Ning Chu’s legs were not only slender and straight; they also had a deliciously soft fullness to them. From his slim waist to his cute little b*tt, and then to his thighs, all combined to form a beautifully elegant curve.
These legs combined the best of both genders—absolutely stunning!
From an LSP (Leg Security Patrol) perspective, Wen Yang quickly rated Ning Chu’s legs: a solid ninety points.
Then he casually turned his gaze back to Ning Chu, looking calm and composed.
What’s wrong with checking out a guy’s legs? Nothing to be shy about!
Ning Chu didn’t notice anything amiss; he just looked at Wen Yang, puzzled: “Why were you looking so guilty?”
“Uh… just talking with Shaoqing about the coffee shop boss lady.”
His interest piqued immediately, he dragged a chair over and crossed his legs: “That boss lady? OMG! Her figure! Off the charts!”
“Mature woman vibes! I bet she’s at least a D cup, right?”
As a Little Emperor Wen author, he was no slouch when it came to LSP business!
Zhang Shaoqing interrupted: “I think the boss lady’s got a more soothing appeal than a succubus who just draws you in.”
“Right, right! You’ve even seen the boss lady?”
“Duh, she’s right across from the school gate. Even if I haven’t tried her coffee, I’ve seen her face.” Leaning back in his chair, he inspected Ning Chu with a teasing smirk: “What are you even saying? You’re no match for an older woman—like a kid trying to drive a big truck!”
“Just because I’m short doesn’t mean you’ve got to bully me!”
Wen Yang quietly lowered his head and sent the already prepared message to the boss lady: “Sis, I’ve got Ning Chu all set!”
Seeing Ning Chu’s reaction, it was obvious he was interested in the boss lady.
So that’s not betrayal; it’s more like doing a good deed for a grown-up!
Before long, the boss lady sent him two hundred bucks as a thank-you along with a note: “Alright, are you coming to help out tomorrow? I got a butler outfit, it’s pretty cool.”
Butler outfit? That sounds fantastic, but on Ning Chu, it’d probably look adorable.
Wen Yang happily agreed.
It seemed the boss lady planned to attract new customers by using the “male aesthetic”…
“Isn’t it tough to find a butler outfit in Ning Chu’s size? He’s only one sixty.”
“Huh? Who said Ning Chu would wear the butler outfit? He’ll be in a maid outfit!”
“??? ”
Wen Yang was momentarily stunned, but once he caught on, he suddenly got super excited.
