65. A Little Less
Zhang Shaoqing is such a loser! Truly a master of failing at everything!
Who would have thought that this guy was a top villain in the book?
If he ever turned villainous in real life, with that brain of his, he’d be behind bars within a week!
If it weren’t for his meddling, the catgirl Qiao Qiao would have vanished from Wen Yang’s life a long time ago! Now she’s tailing him around shouting “Brother!” like it’s her new hobby!
Really shameless! At twenty, and still trying to act cute!
Back at the dormitory, Ning Chu was still sulking as she sat at Ling Ling’s desk, angrily shaking her legs.
Thankfully, Qiao Qiao’s plot unfolded during their co-renting period, so she hadn’t barged into the boys’ dormitory to provide morning wake-up services for Wen Yang.
If Wen Yang, during summer or winter break, planned to rent a place and work as in the story, the only possible housemate would be her—no chances for Qiao Qiao!
“Ning Chu, did you forget your computer?”
“Computer…”
Ning Chu looked at the empty desk and suddenly remembered she left her laptop in the boys’ dormitory.
“Nope, didn’t bring it. I’m only staying one night, too lazy to make the trip.”
“Then come watch a drama with us?”
Her mouth twitched. Turning back, she saw Yan Xinya’s computer screen playing some idol drama from who-knows-where.
This is like serving time ~
Even though she had transformed into a girl, her taste in movies hadn’t changed.
She still didn’t get what was so appealing about idol dramas, but under Yan Xinya’s enthusiastic invitation, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and pull up a chair next to the wolf girl.
Ning Chu stared blankly at the drama, her eyes wandering about the dorm.
Without wearing Wen Yang’s clothes and lacking the protagonist’s protective halo, even if the wolf girl’s fighting power was off the charts, she felt no sense of security.
Her gaze often swept over the corners or the balcony, fearing that a pervert or even a tentacle monster might pop up.
“Lily! Want to join us for the drama?”
“Not interested.” Lily curled up, resting her chin on her knees while mindlessly clicking away at her mouse.
Ning Chu turned to Lily, only to realize the mute girl was playing some “lewd connect-the-dots” game, her deadpan expression making it look like serious business.
Wow, how brazen!
Compared to the idol drama, this little game was indeed more entertaining.
“I’m going to take a shower, I’ll catch up later.”
“Sure.”
Ning Chu felt awkward in the girls’ dorm. Watching Yan Xinya leave, she didn’t know what to do, so she just stared blankly at her novel.
Not long after, the door suddenly swung open.
“Ning Chu?!”
Following that surprised voice, she looked up to see Lin Li standing at the door, her face a picture of shock.
Ning Chu nodded slightly, acknowledging her.
“What are you doing in my dorm?”
“I was planning to stay!”
“Huh?”
Lily chimed in to explain, “She’s a girl.”
“I know!”
Foxes are also canines, with noses that know. During the class dinner when Lin Li was competing with Ning Chu for Wen Yang’s attention, she had sensed Ning Chu’s gender.
Even though Ning Chu had a p*nis back then, she was essentially a girl.
“Why are you so excited?” Ning Chu rolled her eyes at Lin Li and went back to her novel. “I’m just crashing for one night.”
“Surprised you’d leave the boys’ dorm; I thought you were planning to monopolize Wen Yang for life.”
Lin Li pouted, sitting down at her desk while sneakily glancing at Ning Chu.
The two of them didn’t have any real grudges, except for failing in their man-stealing endeavors. Ning Chu had previously rejected Lin Li’s offer for cooperation, leading to a slight bias against her.
That innocent-looking face? Turns out she’s a force to be reckoned with! Moving into the boys’ dorm just for Wen Yang, not fearing any consequences if it got out.
She’s definitely a yandere!
Ning Chu felt her scalp tingle under Lin Li’s assessing gaze, totally confused by that mix of admiration and annoyance.
Luckily, at that moment, Yan Xinya finished her shower, entering in a nightgown with her hair wrapped in a towel.
The wolf girl’s big tail was damp, drooping and dripping water. The moment she saw Lin Li, she rushed over, her nose nudging Lin Li’s face affectionately.
“Oh hey, Lin Li, you’re back early! It’s barely past seven!”
Lin Li wrinkled her nose in dislike, pushing Yan Xinya away. “You’re soaking wet! Get away from me!”
“Join us for a drama~”
Yan Xinya excitedly wagged her tail, splashing water everywhere.
“Keep your distance! I don’t need a water shower!”
Ning Chu also scooted away a bit.
You’re a wolf! Why are you acting like a dog?!
Afraid of getting splashed, she quickly pulled out a change of clothes from her suitcase and dashed into the bathroom.
It was her first time showering in the girls’ dorm…
Back in the boys’ dorm, she always had to be careful, checking the door lock repeatedly, worried Wen Yang would break in like in the plot.
But now, she felt unexpectedly safe.
The bathroom had a layer of water an inch deep; Ning Chu looked at the drain, noticing it was completely clogged with a mess of fuzzy gray-black hair.
“Xinya! Your hair is blocking the drain! Clean it up!”
“Coming!”
A moment later, Yan Xinya bolted into the bathroom, complaining, “I always brush my fur when I have time, but my tail still sheds like crazy, especially the tail!”
She glanced at Ning Chu’s clothes hanging on the wall and froze. “Hey? Why are you wearing boxers?”
“…”
“You’re not going commando every day, are you?”
As a man, wearing boxers is perfectly normal! Not wearing a bra is even more so! What do you mean “commando”?
Her internal defense didn’t lessen her embarrassment; deep down, Ning Chu knew she was just making excuses.
Her face flushed as she stammered, “I usually live in the boys’ dorm! How else would you expect me to dress?”
“Not wearing one for a long time will make them sag.”
“I’m still young! That won’t happen!”
Yan Xinya curiously looked at Ning Chu’s chest, then glanced down at her own before puffing out her chest confidently. “Definitely!”
Suddenly feeling offended…
The wolf girl probably had a B-cup, and comparing it to Ning Chu’s wasn’t much of a difference.
“Go compare with Lin Li or Lily instead.” Ning Chu shot a glance at the wolf girl, and seeing the standing water in the bathroom was finally clean, she pushed Yan Xinya out gently. “I’m going to shower, out you go!”
“Hey! That nightgown of yours looks so big! Isn’t it Wen Yang’s?!”
“Out!”
With a loud “bang” of the door, the bathroom was finally quiet. Ning Chu locked the door and sighed helplessly.
“Why do I have to compare my chest with a factory-fresh girl?!”
As she stripped off her clothes and turned on the shower, she couldn’t help but glance down at the movement in her chest.
After a moment of silence, she muttered softly, “It is a little less…”
