89. The Party
Although it was supposed to be a New Year’s Eve party, it was actually several days past the New Year.
Originally scheduled for the day before New Year’s, the event was postponed due to heavy rain, and here they were, finally ready for the festivities.
Ning Chu walked side by side with Wen Yang to the large playground at school. The moment they stepped inside, they spotted a massive temporary stage standing proudly at one side, bright lights illuminating it as two student hosts kicked off the show. Rows of little stools were almost filled to capacity with students.
“It’s so lively~”
She reached the front of the stage, gazing into the distance when her mouth suddenly twitched: “Yan Xinya?”
“Huh?”
Wen Yang, just realizing the host on stage looked strikingly familiar, exclaimed, “Is that really her?”
“Looks like it.”
Those iconic wolf ears and the big tail…
Yan Xinya was clad in an off-shoulder evening dress, high heels on her feet, and her face was adorned with sophisticated makeup, undeniably mature.
Compared to her usual wild and chaotic behaviour, the Wolf Girl now exuded poise and elegance, not stuttering a single word after a few minutes on stage.
The contrast was like watching a husky transform into a poodle!
Ning Chu and Wen Yang stood there, utterly flabbergasted.
They exchanged bewildered glances, and Ning Chu muttered incredulously, “I can’t believe Xinya can host…”
She stared at Yan Xinya on stage. “That’s a bit hard to accept.”
“I thought Xinya was just like me—good for nothing but eating and sleeping!”
Wen Yang corrected her, “Aren’t you the one who writes novels? Two thousand a month, better than most!”
Better than what, really? If it wasn’t an autobiography, hardly anyone would’ve read it!
At this rate, her novel was destined to flop—who could keep churning out an autobiography forever?
She sighed, “Mhm.”
Unfortunately, despite the open-mindedness of this world, Little Emperor Wen still couldn’t sell her stories openly.
That made it hard for her to earn pocket money using her best skills.
“Ning Chu.”
“!!”
Startled, Ning Chu turned around to find Lily had somehow snuck up next to her. “When did you get here?”
“Just now.”
“You and Xinya are so unfair; becoming hosts and not even giving me a heads up!”
“Xinya wouldn’t allow it.”
Lily was still putting on her Ice Mountain Goddess act, with a cold expression and barely any words to spare.
“But you could’ve whispered to me! I almost didn’t recognize Xinya!”
As the performance started, the small stools in front of the stage were mostly occupied, so Ning Chu decided she didn’t want to stand around any longer and pulled Wen Yang and Lily to sit on the grass instead.
The performances were nothing to write home about—music, dance, poetry recitations, and some cringe-worthy skits—most were just amateur level.
The students filtered in and out of the playground to watch the show.
Ning Chu felt herself getting drowsy; she yawned and leaned closer to Wen Yang. “Legs move!”
She plopped down in front of him, scooting her backside against him, using Wen Yang as her human sofa to lean back against.
Nice and comfy~
Wen Yang was a tad warmer than Ning Chu, like a little heater on a winter’s day.
She relaxed her head against his chest, idly scrolling on her mobile, while Wen Yang instinctively wrapped an arm around her.
“Lin Li.”
Lily suddenly spoke up.
Ning Chu intuitively turned her gaze to the stage and spotted Lin Li stepping up with a group of girls.
Wearing a cropped top that left her midriff exposed, her slim waist was unmistakably eye-catching, and her short shorts clung tightly to her rear, while her legs were adorned with black stockings. The moment she set foot on stage, her curves caught the audience’s attention like fireworks.
What had been a dull show suddenly became electrifying.
Ning Chu pursed her lips and scoffed, “She’s not afraid of freezing to d*ath.”
She looked up at Wen Yang but found him glued to the stage, his face darkening as he gripped the meat on his thigh.
“Nice, right?”
“Meh, it’s average.”
A chill ran down Wen Yang’s spine, and he quickly glanced at his phone, muttering, “It’s just so-so.”
“Ugh!”
She had to admit, that fox spirit’s figure was indeed amazing!
Those curves must be a D-cup, at least!
Despite her hormones making her indifferent to girls, Ning Chu couldn’t deny Lin Li’s charm.
She glanced down at her own chest, which looked as flat as a pancake under her thick coat.
Right now, she was only around a B-cup—not small, but no match for the fox spirit.
Not even compared to Lily!
Lin Li’s dance team quickly lifted the party’s atmosphere, much to the sounds of cheers and applause.
“That was great,” Lily commented.
“Yeah, it was pretty good…”
Ning Chu murmured with a tinge of envy, only to suddenly feel her soft seat quickly turning into a hard one.
All those little thoughts flew out of her head, replaced by shame and frustration.
Wen Yang! What a brat!
She froze, afraid to move and provoke him further.
“What are you doing?!”
Ning Chu whispered, irritated.
“I can’t help it…”
The little succubus in his arms constantly exuded pheromones that attracted males, and with Wen Yang’s hand wrapped around her slender waist, their bodies pressed together… that was something no man could ignore.
“I’m leaving!”
“Wait, what will Lily think if she sees us?”
Ning Chu shot a glance at Lily, who was just a little distance away. Even though it was pitch black outside, the playground was brightly lit up by the party, making it all too easy for others to notice Wen Yang’s little monster if she left.
Either way, it would be Wen Yang who’d embarrass himself!
But she could already feel the size and shape of the situation!
As intimidating as ever, it felt like a blazing flame, teasing her nerves and body, making her cheeks flush with color.
Rapidly, under Wen Yang’s watchful eye, her face turned crimson, soon spreading to her neck and ears.
There were so many people around!
Her body felt slightly awakened, but that was immediately followed by a wave of intense embarrassment.
Ning Chu glanced around quickly. Besides Lily, there were several other students within a few meters!
“You’re such a pervert!”
“I’m a man,” Wen Yang shot back, tightening his embrace around the little succubus even more.
This made Ning Chu shiver and stiffen, not daring to move.
Lily suddenly turned her head towards them, sniffed the air, and glanced at Ning Chu’s flushed cheeks.
“Uh…”
Expressionless, she shifted half a meter away, creating some space between them.
Though she said nothing, her actions made Ning Chu even more embarrassed as she couldn’t bear to lift her head.
Ning Chu squeezed Wen Yang’s thigh with a begrudging glare. “You must be doing this on purpose!”
“No way!”
“You just want to see me like this!”
Wen Yang, looking awkward, raised his gaze to the stage, “I’m not.”
“Then why is it getting bigger?!”
