404. Four Rows
Shedding her coat and sinking into Yan Xinya’s quilt, Ning Chu yawned repeatedly, her sleepy eyes barely able to stay open.
On the opposite bed, Lily had buried her head under the covers again, faint sounds of grunts and movements escaping from her—her bed was vibrating slightly.
This succubus… totally has no sense of modesty!
Putting on a cold front in public yet indulgent behind closed doors…
Ning Chu had long grown accustomed to Lily’s wild antics when they were alone. She lay on her side, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of Wen Yang and whether or not he and the flower sisters would get up to anything mischievous.
Even though she trusted her male protagonist’s firm willpower, she didn’t trust what might be running through a man’s mind below the belt.
She really should’ve dragged herself out of bed to join them; now she was regretting it…
But her brain had already crashed into a state of dreamy malfunction, leaving no room for remorse.
“I’m back! I bought so many things!”
“Shh~”
As Yan Xinya burst into the room, Lily was seated upright on her bed, engrossed in her phone, reverting back to her usual cool demeanor.
With her index finger raised to her lips, she nodded toward the little head peeking out from under the covers.
“Ning Chu’s here~”
Though Ning Chu had climbed into Yan Xinya’s bed without so much as a hello, the wolf girl didn’t mind and quickly adjusted her posture.
She climbed down the ladder to peek at the sleeping Ning Chu, her big eyes filled with curiosity as she whispered, “Are you really that tired? Wen Yang was way too much last night, wasn’t he?”
“Where’s Wen Yang? It’s rare to see them apart.”
Lily shook her head, playfully ruffling Ning Chu’s hair into a messy tuft. Yet, Ning Chu remained blissfully unaware, snoring lightly.
“I need to go to a meeting later. Remind me at one-thirty.”
“Alright.”
With a nod, she bent down, continuing her attempts to braid Ning Chu’s hair.
…
In the afternoon, long before class started, the hallway in front of Classroom 201 was already packed with students.
Wen Yang leaned against the pristine white wall, engrossed in a reference book he’d borrowed from the library, waiting for members of the student council to arrive.
A twinge of unease nagged at him; without Ning Chu by his side, he felt guilty every time he interacted with any girl. He couldn’t shake off the fear of Ning Chu getting jealous if she found out.
“Wen Yang!”
At the sound of his name, he looked up to see a big, happy dog sprinting through the crowd toward him.
“Ning Chu is sleeping like a log on my bed!”
“Um…”
Why does that sound a little too green?
“I’m here to supervise you on behalf of Ning Chu! No talking to other girls!” Yan Xinya’s hands were planted firmly on her hips, nose held high, proud as a peacock. “Otherwise, I’ll report you to Ning Chu.”
“Eh, why aren’t you paying attention to me?”
Wen Yang turned away, pointedly ignoring Yan Xinya. “Not talking to girls.”
“……”
Suddenly, gasps echoed from the crowd. Instinctively, Wen Yang looked up to find two girls with similar heights and appearances, one bustier than the other, walking towards him with a few student council members surrounding them.
He had seen photos before and could confirm that these two were the popular sisters at school.
Word had it there was even a fan club for the sister duo on the school forum.
Curiously, he observed—the busty one, with a cold demeanor, must be the older sister, while the slightly smaller one, who bounced along merrily, was the younger sister.
He had to admit, these sisters were indeed captivating…
Suddenly, the sisters’ gazes fell upon Wen Yang, sending shivers down his spine. He quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact.
Could it be?! Was the wild storyline that Ning Chu had penned about to unfold?
This was the ultimate test for any man! Who could resist being fawned over by such beautiful sisters?
Taking a deep breath, Wen Yang tried to steady his racing heart.
Not as enchanting as my little succubus!
No tails, no steering wheels—just standard merchandise.
The student council opened the door to Classroom 201, and a swarm of dorm leaders filed in, casually finding seats in the spacious tiered classroom.
“Class leader, please take attendance.” Wen Yang pulled a roll call sheet from his pocket and handed it to Yan Xinya.
“Eh? An An didn’t tell me we had to take attendance~”
The wolf girl pouted, picking up paper and pen, standing up to scan the classroom.
“I’m not familiar with the boys’ dorm side…”
Wen Yang glanced around the classroom and replied, “All present.”
Having served as class leader for a long time, he remembered all of his classmates’ names and dorm numbers.
“Oh~ It’s better with you as class leader…” Yan Xinya checked off names on the list, asking, “What’s this meeting about?”
“How should I know?”
Wen Yang felt restless; ever since those sisters had arrived, their gaze had yet to leave him.
The older sister was somewhat restrained, but the fire in the younger sister’s eyes nearly spilled over, making him suspect that if he let his guard down, the passionate little sister would pounce on him and clean his plate.
“They seem to be staring at you?”
Yan Xinya had also sensed the unusual attention and frowned. “If Ning Chu were here, she would have exploded by now, right?”
“Just ignore them.”
“No way! I need to tell Ning Chu! She should know before her home gets stolen!”
Wen Yang shot her a look. “I’m not that kind of guy. Just don’t exaggerate things, okay?”
After the initial commotion settled down, about seven or eight minutes later, the student council president took the stage.
The ice-cold girl leaned against the microphone, her tone as frigid as a winter breeze, expressionless as she read from the script to start the meeting.
It went pretty much as Wen Yang had predicted; the dorm leader meeting was just a reiteration of dorm electrical safety and hygiene checks for the new semester… Additionally, the student council announced a “Beautiful Dormitory” event where students would decorate their dormitories for scoring, with the top winner receiving two hundred yuan for electricity fees.
Wen Yang stifled yawns—the fact that he and Ning Chu lived off-campus meant they were unlikely to participate; keeping those two boys in their dorm clean was already a stretch, let alone something as extravagant.
The meeting lasted for just over twenty minutes, with little time left before classes started.
Wen Yang slowly stood and sent the recording to Zhang Shaoqing, just in case anything went wrong in the dorm.
As he shuffled toward the door with the crowd, he had barely stepped down the stairs when a lively figure cheerfully rushed over and reached for his arm.
“!!”
Instinctively, he waved his hand, warily glancing at the younger sister, her name flashing in his mind.
Wasn’t she called Guo Guo?
And the older sister must be Duo Duo?
Ning Chu was really quite careless with the names she gave her female characters.
“Wen Yang~ Are you free tonight?” Guo Guo boldly asked, undeterred by his rejection. “Let’s grab dinner! My sister’s treating!”
“Oh—” Yan Xinya’s eyes sparkled, glancing back and forth between Wen Yang and Guo Guo, already plotting how to report this to Ning Chu in her mind.
Wen Yang’s face darkened slightly as he intentionally put on a frown to turn her down. “No, I’m hanging out with my girlfriend tonight.”
“Then bring her along! My sister and I don’t mind~”
Meaning, four in a row?
He paused for a split second and hurriedly shook his head.
One succubus was already trying to drain him dry—how could he endure four more?!
“Wen Yang!”
From the classroom doorway, the little succubus came bursting in, her expression frantic. Spotting Wen Yang chatting with the bad woman made her rush over even faster. She quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the exit without a word.
“Let’s go! What are you wasting your breath on with her? Just tell her off, like I taught you!”
“I just said one thing, didn’t have time to tell her off yet…”
“I’ll vouch for it! Wen Yang was totally not swayed!”
