00. Backfire
Ning Chu felt there was absolutely no need for her to wear any underwear!
Even though her body had transformed into that of a woman, her thoughts still screamed big man. Whether it was underwear or women’s clothing, she never gave it a second thought.
Besides, wearing underwear in the boys’ dormitory? No way she could keep that a secret!
Her chest wasn’t even that big; just a little apple-sized, really. On a regular day, she would simply cover it with Band-Aids topped off with loose short sleeves, and honestly, no one would pay attention to her pathetic little chest.
Except for her roommates, that is.
Wang Jie was a straight shooter, and even if Zhang Shaoqing noticed, it seemed he never thought in a weird direction—only Wen Yang…
Ning Chu shot a glance at Wen Yang and saw him looking a bit too excited at the mention of the word “vacuum.” It gave her chills, so she subtly shifted her b*tt to put a little distance between them.
Yan Xinya was also a good student; after roll call, she quickly settled into study mode, just like Wen Yang.
Ning Chu observed the two of them diligently scribbling notes and highlighted texts and couldn’t help but think they looked like an adorable couple.
Not good!
“Wen Yang, let’s switch seats!”
Wolf Girl, the non-plot character, was the trickiest type of background girl! What if she had her eyes on Wen Yang? Ning Chu wouldn’t know how to predict her behavior.
She had to avoid that at all costs!
But Yan Xinya saw through her little scheme and, with a grin, said, “Don’t worry, I really won’t compete with you.”
Ning Chu ignored her, glanced at the teacher writing on the board, stood up, and leaned as far forward on the desk as she could: “Wen Yang, you need to move over.”
Wen Yang knew her jealousy was bubbling up again, so he begrudgingly complied.
In the tiered classroom, the desks and chairs were all fixed to the floor; two long tables didn’t yield much room for them to maneuver.
But Ning Chu wasn’t considering that.
Wen Yang leaned back, trying to shift to the adjacent chair. As he moved, his thigh bumped into Ning Chu’s leg.
“Move your b*tt over first,” she reminded him.
Ah, b*tt…
Wen Yang looked up at her oh-so-close little derrière.
Ning Chu, in an effort to create space, leaned forward onto the desk, making her round rear end look even more perky and right in front of his eyes.
As a little virgin, Wen Yang felt a rush of warmth in his lower abdomen and his cheeks flushed. He hastily turned his gaze away, flustered, and moved his b*tt as instructed.
But as he repositioned his legs, his thigh collided with Ning Chu’s leg again.
This time, right at her knee joint, and she immediately lost her balance, landing right onto Wen Yang’s lap.
“Watch it…”
Ning Chu murmured, trying to get up, but the searing heat quickly pressed against her backside.
Ouch~
She gasped, recalling her past life as a man; she knew exactly what that warmth was!
Holy cow! So big!
She jerked up, quickly switching to a different seat, utterly flustered.
Yan Xinya was just now turning her head toward Ning Chu after focusing on the podium. Spotting the flush on Ning Chu’s face, she curiously asked, “Why’s your face so red? You’re sweating from your nose.”
“N-no, I’m fine.”
Ning Chu waved her hand and pretended to lean down on the desk, feeling her hot face against the cool surface to cool off her racing heart, her fingers trembling slightly.
She felt oddly soft, as if a different kind of emotion was creeping in…
Taking a deep breath to calm down, she peeked at Wen Yang.
He, too, had a hint of red on his cheeks, trying to hide his reaction with a book placed over his lap, but the thick textbook was still raised precariously high, wobbling and ready to slide off at any moment, making it even more noticeable.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie were busy gaming so intensely, they hadn’t noticed anything unusual going on here.
Phew, thank goodness.
Wen Yang was indeed the male lead of Little Emperor Wen—like, really!? Even being sat on wouldn’t quell his reactions? Totally ridiculous!
Public space! In broad daylight! What a pervert!
Just then, Wen Yang’s gaze flickered back to Ning Chu. Their eyes met, and they both awkwardly turned away.
Seeing Ning Chu’s blush and shy demeanor, he felt his breath heat up, his mind racing with all sorts of inappropriate thoughts about her.
He got a mischievous idea, inhaled deeply, and tentatively reached out to sneakily wrap his arm around her waist.
But before his fingertips even grazed her shirt, his calf was met with a sharp kick.
The sudden pain made his face go white, like someone yanked his brain’s trash can right out, and even that raised textbook settled down quietly.
Crisis averted.
Wen Yang grimaced as he rubbed his shin, shooting a wry smile at the still-blushing and now clearly annoyed Ning Chu.
She was the one who sat on him in the first place…
He was just a young man with a bit of a reaction. Was that really so abnormal?!
Women are so unreasonable.
Yan Xinya hadn’t noticed their awkwardness at all; seizing the opportunity when the teacher paused during the lecture, she turned to the pair and suggested, “How about we all grab lunch on the second floor of the cafeteria?”
“There’s a small stir-fry place that has amazing food~ My treat!”
Ning Chu was about to refuse to avoid Wolf Girl getting too close to Wen Yang, but then she realized this was a golden opportunity.
Look at Wolf Girl’s build! While not particularly eye-catching, it was stronger than most unfit guys, and she could take down even the towering instructor without breaking a sweat.
Ning Chu had zero fighting ability and desperately wanted to shake off the anxiety of being away from Wen Yang.
Going with Wolf Girl might mean she could handle any danger that came their way, right?
“Alright, Wen Yang can skip it; he’s busy at noon.”
“Then it’ll just be us two.”
Wen Yang, totally confused, had no idea what business he had at noon—he looked bewildered at both of them.
What’s the deal? What do they mean by excluding him?
He quickly leaned close to Ning Chu’s ear, whispering, “Should we not go? Yan Xinya might be trying to get you into a yuri thing.”
“???”
Ning Chu gave Wen Yang a bewildered look, her lips twitching.
While she had already confirmed Wen Yang indeed held feelings for her, wasn’t he being a tad possessive?
She merely didn’t want him mingling with girls! Did that mean he wouldn’t let her socialize at all either?
Was this the backlash from how overly controlling he had been before?
“Since when do you get to dictate my choices?” she shot back, not holding back at all.
Wen Yang lowered his head, pulling out his phone and muttering, “There was a senior who asked me out to a movie; who was it again…”
“Nice try!” Ning Chu totally flipped on her previous stance, turning to Yan Xinya and declared, “I’ve got plans too; let’s do it another time.”
“Ah?”
There would definitely be a next time anyway.
