050. What the heck is this?!
“br*asts, one size bigger.”
If before I was just a Shaxian Xiaolongbao, barely palm-sized and not very plump, now I’ve transformed into a juicy fried bun from a breakfast shop—full and round with noticeable curves.
Getting more and more eye-catching.
Early in the morning, Ning Chu sat at his desk eating breakfast, clearly feeling Wen Yang’s gaze drifting toward his chest every now and then.
This guy was the first to notice Ning Chu’s changes.
With such keen observation skills, why not go be a painter?!
Breakfast was brought back from the cafeteria by Wen Yang. He had just woken up, and a bag full of breakfast was already laid out on the desk.
“I’m heading back; see you in a week!” Wang Jie shouted as he packed his luggage, dragging his suitcase toward the door.
Zhang Shaoqing was munching on a breadstick while gaming. Wen Yang shot him a glance, then his gaze fell back to Ning Chu’s chest. Ning Chu kept his head down, eating breakfast, while the other two in the dorm didn’t even spare him a glance.
“Leaving!” Wang Jie cursed as he opened the door to leave.
“By the way! Don’t forget to bring back some local specialties!” Zhang Shaoqing suddenly remembered and shouted, “You better not forget!”
“Safe travels~” Ning Chu waved a hand, “Disappearing halfway~”
“Childish!”
Even though it was a long seven-day holiday, three of them stayed back in the dorm for various reasons.
After finishing breakfast, Ning Chu tossed his trash in the bin and turned to Zhang Shaoqing, “Aren’t you going back for the holiday?”
“I just went back a few days ago! I told my family that school isn’t letting out, so I’ve got make-up classes.”
“Oh~ What about you, Wen Yang?”
“My home is too far, and ticket prices are high. I’d rather take the holiday to work.”
Oh no, you’re gonna cause me trouble!
Ning Chu perked up, his big eyes glaring at Wen Yang, “Where do you plan to work?!”
“Me? I’m still figuring it out. I might just go out for a stroll…,” Wen Yang suggested casually, “What about going together? We can look out for each other.”
Now that’s more like it!
Zhang Shaoqing had zero interest in working, yawning as he commented, “You two might as well get married and stick together every day.”
“Quit the nonsense!”
Since it was a long holiday, Ning Chu started thinking about the villain’s issues.
The villain’s emotions were incredibly unstable, prone to crashing at the slightest stimulation, and the thing he cared about most right now was that childhood friend, the catgirl.
Ning Chu’s tone softened as he proposed to Zhang Shaoqing, “Shao Qing, how about we rally the whole dorm this week to help you win over Ling Ling?”
Zhang Shaoqing’s eyes lit up but quickly dimmed again: “Forget it. She was dumped by Wen Yang and is still in a bad mood.”
“Wen Yang, you scoundrel!”
“????”
Wen Yang looked utterly confused: “Huh? We didn’t even hold hands.”
At the time, Ling Ling was actually pursuing Wen Yang, and he reluctantly agreed after being pestered, ending up having said barely a handful of words to each other before being invited to play cards in a hotel room late at night.
According to the plot, even if a guy and a girl didn’t have any emotional foundation, the girl was supposed to initiate everything, and by morning’s end, they’d done the things they shouldn’t have.
But now, Wen Yang chose to stay and play games with Ning Chu, straight-up breaking it off with Ling Ling.
“Shao Qing, why do you think Ling Ling won’t accept you? You’re not any worse looking than Wen Yang, and your family background is way better.”
“Because she’s always seen me as her older brother?”
Because you’re the villain and not the main character.
Ning Chu analyzed seriously: “See, she likes Wen Yang—doesn’t that mean he has advantages you don’t?”
“If you study Wen Yang a bit, who knows? She might just fall for you!”
Zhang Shaoqing’s face darkened as he turned to look at his computer.
Tch~ Why be so proud!
Ning Chu rolled his eyes at the back of his head and then sighed as he stood up and walked toward the bathroom.
Yesterday, Wen Yang took the initiative to reject the plot girl, and later, Ning Chu had ruined that vixen’s chance. With these two narrative disruptions, today was bound to shift his femininity into overdrive.
His chest had indeed thickened, turning into a fried bun. But what about the other areas?
Entering the bathroom, Ning Chu wiped the mirror with a tissue and leaned in close to examine his face.
His face seemed unchanged, still ambiguous between male and female. He took a couple of steps back to assess his figure.
Compared to before, he was obviously fuller, not fat—just more squishy-looking.
“Doesn’t seem much has changed; at least my b*tt hasn’t gotten any bigger, or else I’d have to buy new pants.”
So! Here comes the crucial part!
He turned around, locked the door, then pulled down his pants to take a look.
!!!
What the heck! How did it shrink so much overnight?!
He was shocked to the core, trembling with disbelief. He clumsily reached for the toilet but missed completely.
What the heck is this little bug?!
When Ning Chu stepped out of the bathroom all dazed, Wen Yang happened to be outside on the balcony doing laundry. He caught a glimpse of Ning Chu’s woeful face and couldn’t help but be curious.
“What’s wrong?”
“I…” Ning Chu’s lips were moving, but no words came out.
Seeing his withdrawn demeanor, Wen Yang was genuinely baffled.
It seemed like every so often, Ning Chu had moods like a girl caught by Aunt Flo—grumpy, irritable, and withdrawn, just like a bomb ready to explode.
Moreover, every now and then, he sensed a change in Ning Chu. This time, Ning Chu’s chest was noticeably thicker, looking soft and bouncy—if he did any vigorous activity, it would likely jiggle a bit.
Ning Chu leaned his arms against the railing, head bowed, his slightly long hair draping down, casting a shadow over his face.
So scary…
And next, he had to go work with Wen Yang, which might lead to all sorts of incidents.
“I just asked a friend; he pulled me into a part-time job group,” Wen Yang casually brought up job hunting, “I checked, and there’s a factory gig paying a hundred a day. Since it’s in the suburbs, they provide meals and accommodation, but I heard it’s very tiring.”
“Not interested.”
“Uh, there’s also a promotional job in the city center. It’s gonna be scorching hot in this sun.”
“Still not interested.”
Given Ning Chu’s state, he likely wouldn’t be interested in any job at all.
Wen Yang shrugged: “Then I guess I’ll be a tutor…”
“No way!”
Ning Chu suddenly reacted, turning around with wide, almond-shaped eyes fixed on Wen Yang, resolutely opposing: “Absolutely not!”
Tutoring is a disaster zone for the Little Emperor Wen! In the plot, Wen Yang had even had to give a health class to a tutoring student.
Whether or not this tutoring gig is from the plot, triggering anything would either mean Wen Yang ends up with nothing, or I become more feminine—either way, there’s no good outcome!
Wen Yang was startled by his abrupt opposition. He lowered his voice, strangely feeling guilty: “Tutoring pays well…”
“Ha~”
Hearing that dismissive tone, Wen Yang became even guiltier. Being a tutor felt almost like cheating on a girlfriend.
Wait, Ning Chu was just his roommate.
