Ning Chu was genuinely at a loss for how to face Wen Yang.
The chat with Lily was totally exposed…
God knows that the succubus appeared so aloof on the surface, yet was truly a total LSP! She threw all kinds of prop shopping links right in Ning Chu’s face!
Caught off guard!
Wen Yang wouldn’t assume she was planning to buy props too, would he?!
Just last night she was getting a bit flirty in front of Wen Yang, and today she was caught having a private chat with Lily. These past couple of days had been nothing short of disastrous.
At this rate, her image in Wen Yang’s heart must have already turned her into a thirsty little pervert.
Just two months ago, Wen Yang still thought she was a shy little boy…
Ning Chu let out a long, deep sigh. She pulled a chair and sat down at the study room’s entrance, too scared to go in and face Wen Yang. Leaning against the wall, she absentmindedly picked up a magazine.
But the magazine did little to soothe her chest, which was now occupied by pure humiliation. Just a few minutes in, her thoughts spiraled out of control.
Even Lily couldn’t completely suppress her body’s restlessness; the book had warned her that repeatedly suppressing urges could lead to a complete mental breakdown.
So… she really needed to study up on new accessories.
With that thought, her face turned red and hot, waves of embarrassment crashing against her rational mind.
No more thinking! Her body seemed to be heating up.
After two forced episodes of suppression, she was noticeably much more sensitive. Just a hint of scandalous thoughts in her brain would awaken her body and get it fired up.
Suddenly, the door next to her swung open, giving Ning Chu a scare.
“Teacher! I’m going to buy milk tea!”
The little brat shot out like a gust of wind, glanced at Ning Chu by the door, and hurried off towards the library exit.
Moments later, Wen Yang also walked out of the study room. Leaning against the door frame, he looked down at Ning Chu, whose ears were flushed red: “Why aren’t you coming in?”
“It’s too crowded.”
Ning Chu didn’t dare look up at Wen Yang.
“Aren’t you going to class?”
“Taking a fifteen-minute break.” Wen Yang rubbed his neck and complained, “That kid is really dumb; I’ve explained one math problem three times and he still doesn’t get it. I wonder if he’ll understand even one out of ten of the things I say.”
“……”
He tried to observe Ning Chu’s expression, curiosity bubbling inside him, but his shyness held him back from asking.
Why on earth would Ning Chu ask a succubus such things?
That seemingly aloof succubus had actually recommended so many bizarre props to Ning Chu…
Was it because Ning Chu was feeling suffocated last night?
Wen Yang felt a tinge of guilt for snooping on her privacy, and after holding back for ages, he couldn’t voice a single question. He had to switch topics: “How about we go take a stroll nearby?”
“Aren’t you skipping class?”
“It’s break time, I said.” Wen Yang paused for a moment, “The small square is just outside the library. How about a few steps in the square to get some fresh air?”
Well, why not…
Ning Chu was indeed feeling a bit stir-crazy there.
But she didn’t respond; she merely stood up and walked straight toward the library exit.
Wen Yang quickly matched her pace, trailing half a step behind like a personal bodyguard.
The small square outside the library was buzzing with people, and food stalls lined both sides. But at that moment, Ning Chu had zero interest in eating.
Don’t ask~ don’t ask~
Just pretend you didn’t know, like nothing happened.
Ning Chu’s heart wailed as she tightly held her expression, trying to play it cool, but her flushed cheeks and the way her eyes darted around gave Wen Yang a clear signal of her inner turmoil.
Wen Yang was quite perceptive about it, glancing over to a nearby food stall: “Want some stinky tofu? My treat.”
“Sure…”
Ning Chu’s demeanor was a bit bashful; she’d never experienced such a shameful moment in her life.
It felt like being caught with her secret hidden stash of a little emperor uncle by a friend who carelessly clicked on her browser favorites…
Cautiously, she glanced up at Wen Yang’s expression, only to suddenly feel a light touch on her hand.
She instinctively looked down—it was Wen Yang’s shy hand.
This little virgin! He can’t possibly think this is a date, can he?!
This idiot should be more proactive when facing a girl he likes; being all shy will get him nowhere, especially when he’s handsome enough to wait for girls to chase after him.
Ning Chu scoffed internally, unhesitatingly swatting his hand away and crossing her arms.
The next moment, a devilish voice drifted into her ear.
“Ning Chu, Lily was talking to you…”
She immediately grabbed Wen Yang’s hand, looking up to glare at him with embarrassment and annoyance.
Wen Yang had only been teasing her to gauge her reaction, completely unprepared for her to be this shy. He chuckled and wrapped her small hand in his palm, teasing, “I won’t ask anymore; I know nothing.”
d*mn it! Pervert!
Couldn’t he use that initiative on other girls? How gross… No way; it’ll have to wait until her story is ruined first.
Ning Chu’s face was a mess of conflict.
On one hand, she wished Wen Yang would get a girlfriend and stop bothering her, while on the other hand, she wanted him to remain a shy little virgin for the sake of the story.
But she had to admit, Wen Yang’s hand was really warm~
Keeping a serious face, she met the gazes of passersby on the street, feeling her cheeks burning intensely, and helplessly hung her head.
Being a guy yet holding hands with another guy in public… even though her body and appearance had already looked like a girl, deep down, she still felt a sense of rejection.
But that feeling of being tightly wrapped up and secure was so comforting~
Her mind and body seemed to have relaxed a bit more than usual.
But could Wen Yang please stop touching the back of her hand! It’s too ticklish and uncomfortable!
At the small food stall, Ning Chu still couldn’t look up, while Wen Yang, unfazed, ordered a large serving of stinky tofu.
“Want it spicy?”
“A bit spicy is fine.”
Wen Yang responded for Ning Chu.
He had frequently been buying meals for her lately, so he already knew her tastes and preferences.
After a short wait, the stinky tofu was ready and placed on the counter. Wen Yang finally let go of Ning Chu’s hand, ready to hand over the stinky tofu when he noticed Ning Chu had suddenly jumped back a few steps like a startled rabbit, looking at him with a face full of wariness.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Are you done touching me?!”
Wen Yang’s palm still retained the soft, warm sensation from before. He awkwardly chuckled, “Just have a bite; I don’t really like this stuff either.”
“Tch~”
Ning Chu took a light step forward to grab the stinky tofu, then quickly dashed aside, looking at Wen Yang like he was a pervert.
If it wasn’t for the world being too dangerous, and she still needed to use Wen Yang’s protagonist aura for a bit longer…
Bite the b*llet! Gonna jot this down in my little notebook!
“I was just joking… it’s not that serious.”
“Pfft! Pervert!”
Ning Chu always maintained a few meters of safe distance from Wen Yang, taking a bite and then glancing at him before retreating two steps.
“Teacher! Milk tea!” In the distance, a student came running with three cups of milk tea, “This is for Teacher’s wife!”
“Teacher’s wife?!”
The student gave Ning Chu a surprised look: “Then… sister?”
So that’s how this guy Wen Yang introduces her in public?!
