94. Private Money!
“I can’t believe it! That mature catgirl is just the best!”
“Look at those curled ears! They’re so freaking cute! And that tail! It’s thick, fluffy, and totally adorable!”
“Check out her chest~ It’s at least a D!”
In class, Zhang Shaoqing was beyond excited, drilling the concept of “Catgirls are the best!” into Wang Jie’s brain. Compared to those flat-chested, skinny loli catgirls, the mature one on stage perfectly hit his XP target.
What’s love at first sight? This is it!
His eyes sparkled, staring straight at Teacher Qian on stage: “TMD, if one of my blind date girls looked like her, I’d wake up laughing in my dreams every night!”
Ning Chu, resting her chin on her hand, side-eyed Zhang Shaoqing like he was a perv.
This guy! He really is as interested in the catgirl teacher as the book described!
Let’s just hope Zhang Shaoqing’s methods are about normal dating, even if he’s clingy, and not like the book where the antagonist holds blackmail over her.
The former only violates teacher-student ethics, while the latter is straight-up illegal.
“Hey! Wen Yang! Isn’t she amazing?”
“Not as good as a succubus,” Wen Yang shrugged, unimpressed.
Besides her big chest, she’s got nothing!
“That’s a dangerous statement, Ning Chu~ He might be thinking of cheating!”
Ning Chu rolled her eyes at Zhang Shaoqing, not that he knew she was a succubus.
She yawned: “Not your business.”
“Hey, seeing how interested you are in the new teacher, you’re not planning to chase her, are you?” She hoped to steer Zhang Shaoqing in the right direction, away from illegal antics.
Zhang Shaoqing shot her a glare: “None of your business!”
“…”
The rest of her words got stuck in her throat, as Ning Chu’s face turned beet red with irritation.
What if Zhang Shaoqing goes all out like in Little Emperor Wen? This guy doesn’t care about saving face at all!
“Don’t argue with him,” Wen Yang said, trying to be a calming parent, “Let’s just stop talking to him from now on.”
“Right! Cut off the father-son relationship! I don’t have this son anymore!”
Zhang Shaoqing just gave a middle finger and continued discussing catgirls with Wang Jie.
Now that Ning Chu had turned into a girl, Zhang Shaoqing wouldn’t talk to her about women like he used to. Despite their noisy banter, a layer of distance had crept in.
It was unavoidable, and she wasn’t planning on mending that gap.
Better to keep things as they are—just ordinary friends is great.
She nudged Wen Yang lightly, whispering, “Keep an eye on him for me; don’t let him do anything stupid.”
“Stupid?” Wen Yang paused, uncertain but nodded obediently, “Uh, okay.”
For some reason, Ning Chu’s attitude towards Zhang Shaoqing had always been a bit strange.
He glanced up at the catgirl teacher. He had finished this class during lunch, so he turned to Ning Chu, gazing at the serious little succubus, who was deeply focused on the lecture.
The weather was getting chilly; even though Ning Chu was bundled up, her face and nose were flushed from the cold, and the dry air had made her lips peel, losing their usual glow.
Wen Yang pulled out a lip balm from his pocket and handed it over.
“Thanks.”
Ning Chu didn’t have the habit of carrying a little bag full of stuff like other girls.
It would be convenient, but she has a boyfriend.
Let him carry the stuff~ I mean, his pockets are big enough for anything. Besides, Wen Yang is careful, unlike her who is a total airhead.
Pursing her lips, she applied the lip balm while her mind wandered to the teacher on stage.
She really was quite pretty~ That mature catgirl, and if she were a guy, Ning Chu would totally be swooning.
But alas, she was already someone’s girlfriend.
Zhang Shaoqing had already taken an interest in Qian Qian, just like in the storyline. The antagonist would then use the hypnosis spray, take some compromising photos and videos, and use that as blackmail to make Qian Qian comply.
Fortunately, the hypnosis spray was now in Ning Chu’s hands.
Without that key prop, Zhang Shaoqing shouldn’t turn dark, so this plot twist shouldn’t unfold, right?
Qian Qian was a trainee teacher, nervous and unfamiliar with her work, making her lectures dreadfully boring.
After sitting through half a class, Ning Chu laid her head on the desk and asked Wen Yang, “Um…”
“Hmm?”
She hesitated.
Yesterday, when she discovered that Wen Yang was following her autobiographical novel, the intense shame made her want to run away immediately.
Now that she calmed down, she started worrying about Wen Yang taking her writing as reality.
Even though it indeed was…
“Uh, what I wrote in my book… it’s all fake, don’t overthink it.”
Wen Yang smiled gently: “Yeah, I know.”
Ning Chu realized she might be overreacting, making it easier for Wen Yang to get suspicious.
“Just remember not to mention it again, okay?” She reached over, snatching his phone from his pocket and entered the password.
His phone was wide open to her, and she opened the novel app to delete her book from his library.
“Never read it again!”
“Okay, okay~”
Wen Yang sighed, nodding.
The novel plot was still at the point where Ning Chu had just turned into a girl, and he was still curious about how she fell for him.
But now she wouldn’t even let him read it.
“Surprise inspection!” Taking Wen Yang’s phone, she suddenly got a mischievous idea, teasing, “Are you secretly chatting with other girls on WeChat?”
Wen Yang propped his chin up with one hand and nodded, “Yep, my WeChat is flooded with girls.”
“Really?!”
Ning Chu only meant to scare him, but she was the one who got spooked and hurried to check his WeChat.
Uh… there were some chats with girls, but that was Yan Xinya.
They were the class monitor and vice-monitor. Their last chat was ages ago, about dorm cleanliness.
However, she noticed a long list of friend requests that seemed endless.
“Why don’t you just reject these requests?”
“Too many, it’s a hassle.”
“You’re not mad that I’m checking your phone?”
“As long as I’m in the right, I have nothing to worry about.” Wen Yang shrugged nonchalantly, “After all, you’re just checking for fun.”
Ning Chu shot him a glare: “Then I’ll check if you’re hiding any private money in your wallet~”
“Oh, I actually do~”
Is it really a talent for men to hide private money?!
Wen Yang, these days, would immediately transfer his living expenses and extra cash to Ning Chu. Logically, he should be broke—not even having enough to pay when they went to the cafeteria!
Not that she was managing him or anything; it was just that their money was mixed together, and he didn’t notice.
She playfully leaned closer: “What do you need to hide money for~ Just ask me for it; I wouldn’t say no.”
Wen Yang ruffled his hair in frustration: “I want to save up to get you a game console, as a surprise.”
“I don’t even play games, why buy me a game console?”
“Xinya said that when you went to Lily’s house to play, you didn’t want to leave while holding the console.”
Ning Chu quickly turned to look at Wolf Girl, who innocently raised her head to stare back.
Wow! This friend is such a traitor!
