452. Daily Life
In just one meal, Qian Qian gradually blended into Ning Chu’s little group.
Aside from Wang Jie, who was a hopeless otaku not good with women, even Lily was chatting away online with Qian Qian, sharing insights about their experiences as magical girls.
This girl was only sixteen or seventeen, with a cute undeveloped look and a lovely personality, so it didn’t take long for everyone to start taking care of her like a little sister.
“If you ever need anything, just call me!” Zhang Shaoqing boisterously promised. “I guarantee I can help with whatever you need!”
In front of the newly met girl, his need to show off was especially strong: “Is there enough food? If not, I’ll go get more!”
“That’s enough, that’s enough.”
“Hey! Should we go to karaoke this weekend? I’ll cover the costs!”
Ning Chu hadn’t eaten much, propping her chin on her hand, watching Zhang Shaoqing perform.
This guy was unexpectedly lively around girls he didn’t find interesting, but when a catgirl showed up, he’d shrink away like a timid virgin.
She whispered to Wen Yang, “Look at how arrogant this guy is.”
Having once been a man, she completely understood Zhang Shaoqing’s mindset. Most guys want to showcase themselves in front of pretty girls.
“He won’t be so cocky for long,” Wen Yang shot her a knowing glance.
The more time the two spent together, the more in sync they became. With just a look or a subtle pat on the back, Ning Chu could tell if Wen Yang wanted her to perk up a bit or wanted her to do something entirely different.
Following his gaze, she looked over to see on the second floor of the cafeteria, an OL dressed girl with a professional skirt, a white shirt, white cat ears on her head, and a fluffy tail swaying behind her—Qian Qian.
Her expression shifted subtly as she watched Qian Qian approach, noticing the slight urgency in her steps.
Oh boy~
In this situation, no friend would possibly warn Zhang Shaoqing!
Ning Chu immediately prepared to enjoy the show.
“Are you going to stay in the school dorm or off-campus? If it’s the latter, I can help you find a place that’s cheap and spacious. I found Ning Chu’s rental apartment!”
“Are you coming when Wen Yang has his birthday soon? We plan to visit a maid café; will you join us?”
Qian Qian stopped right behind Zhang Shaoqing, and the others at the dining table also sensed the peculiar atmosphere.
But Zhang Shaoqing was completely oblivious, excitedly showcasing himself.
“Shaoqing?”
A gentle voice came from behind, and Zhang Shaoqing jumped, turning around to see Qian Qian, and exhaled in relief: “Oh, it’s you! You walked like a cat and scared me half to d*ath!”
“Want to sit down and eat something?”
He turned to Qian Qian: “This is our new classmate. I’m treating her today!”
Qian Qian glanced at Qian Qian, saw no cat ears on her head, and relaxed her earlier tension, her smile becoming even friendlier.
“I’m not eating. Didn’t we agree? I’m tutoring you in English during lunch.”
Zhang Shaoqing scratched his head in confusion: “Did we?”
“We did~”
“You’re being so proactive; it’s lacking a bit of romance~”
How could she not be proactive?
From up close, with her many past experiences, Ning Chu could clearly see the hint of flushed passion in Qian Qian’s eyes, along with her slightly fidgeting thighs… No wonder it was the season for breeding; these beast ear girls were getting into the swing of things.
Zhang Shaoqing might be in trouble this month!
Ning Chu was eagerly looking forward to seeing Zhang Shaoqing pale and weary in the afternoon.
“Gotta go!”
After someone tugged his arm, Zhang Shaoqing hurriedly turned back, saying, “I already paid! I have to run, something urgent.”
As usual, he was generous when treating people.
Just as he stood up, Qian Qian grabbed his arm, pulling him down the stairs like a hostage. He looked bewildered, muttering softly to her.
“Why are you suddenly so proactive? This feels so strange.”
“Same as always.”
“What’s the same?”
“It can be me forcing you~”
“Don’t do anything reckless!!!”
Watching the sweet couple walk down the stairs, Ning Chu felt quite pleased: “I wonder if Shaoqing will show up for class this afternoon.”
“Wang Jie, if he hides in the dorm, remember to take a picture and send it to the dorm group. Just think about how much he used to laugh at you.”
Wang Jie, the honest guy, couldn’t hold back his irritation. Just thinking about how Zhang Shaoqing mocked him before made him grit his teeth and say, “Okay.”
No need to be polite to that joker!
They ordered quite a few dishes for lunch, but with Wen Yang and Yan Xinya, the two big eaters, not a drop of sauce was going to waste.
As they continued eating, Wang Jie left early, and Ning Chu got a little idea, leaning over to Lily and asking, “Ready to go?”
“Huh?”
“Remember you promised to show me the transformation and magic? Isn’t now a perfect time?”
“……”
With a straight face, Lily looked unamused, and Ning Chu immediately pulled in another person: “Let’s invite Qian Qian too! Aren’t you curious about what her transformation looks like?”
“And you?”
“I’m not a magical girl~”
But Lily still stared at her intently.
Feeling a tiny bit of pressure, Ning Chu slightly furrowed her brows, instinctively leaning closer to Wen Yang.
Her phone buzzed, and when she looked down, she saw Lily had sent her an online shopping link, the search bar boldly displaying “seductive underwear.”
“If it’s something more revealing, I’ll wear my battle suit for you.”
Seductive underwear, huh…
Ning Chu’s face turned a little hot; the only one who had seen her wear those thin garments that barely concealed anything was Wen Yang.
But Qian Qian’s battle suit didn’t seem much more conservative than seductive underwear either, and as for Lily’s battle suit… it probably wasn’t any better.
“What’s that?”
Wen Yang leaned over to glance at Ning Chu’s phone screen, excitement flickering across his face, but Ning Chu quickly stepped on his foot, making him clear his expression a bit.
“Sure, I’ll text back to Lily.”
Is it really that big of a deal just to wear less in front of girls? It seemed pretty normal.
In the summer, the girls’ dorm sleepwear was skimpier than each other; she’d seen her fair share.
“What do you want to wear? I’ll buy you something!”
Even though Lily maintained her icy demeanor in reality, her online persona was clearly excited and enthusiastic.
“I have a few sets in my rental…”
“You sure are getting cozy with Wen Yang~” Lily sent a teasing emoji. “Qian Qian lives right across from you; don’t wake her up at night.”
“……”
They probably already disturbed her before.
Even though Ning Chu tried her best to keep it down, sometimes she still ended up gnawing on something. But even if she didn’t make a sound, the creaky bed would squeak loudly, and the neighbor living next door had already moved away due to the disturbances.

Started running a fever at 38.4 yesterday afternoon, 39.1 this morning. After taking some medicine, I felt better by afternoon and hurried to write a chapter.
Now I have a headache again, so here’s one more update for today.
