LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 103
Chapter 103: PE Class
In the afternoon, it was PE class.
Ning Chu slumped on a bench in the corner of the playground, staring longingly at her classmates who were jogging.
She had run too fast at noon, making her stomach ache even more. She made up an excuse about a bad stomach and got out of PE.
She picked up her thermos and sipped some warm water.
In this sweltering heat, she could only drink warm water every day… She had almost succumbed to the temptation of ice cola at noon, but as soon as she returned to the dormitory, Wen Yang had snatched it away.
“Bad luck.”
Ning Chu mumbled, feeling utterly unmotivated, leaning back against the chair, her face filled with despair as she read a novel.
On the track, Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing jogged side by side.
From time to time, he glanced over at Ning Chu, worried that his roommate might cause some trouble again.
“Hey, Wen Yang,” Zhang Shaoqing chatted while running, “Are you sure Ning Chu is older than me?”
“?”
Wen Yang paused, and after a moment, he responded, “Yeah, what’s up?”
“It just doesn’t look that way. You’re not trying to fool me, are you?”
He casually joked, “Maybe you’re just too short?”
“Shut up! I’m not blind!” Zhang Shaoqing cursed and continued, “Did you see her when she finished showering and walked around in just her underwear? Her… um… down there was as flat as can be.”
After all, there was nothing there!
Recently, Ning Chu had become more cautious; she used to flaunt her two long legs after showering, but now she made sure to dress properly in the bathroom before coming out.
Wen Yang brushed it off, “Why do you care about her size? Are you trying to fence or something?”
“I’m just curious.” Zhang Shaoqing suddenly got excited, “I’m sorry! I’ve never seen a big guy in a fake girl’s body!”
“Isn’t that a bit perverse?”
This guy might have some issues with his thinking.
After jogging two laps to warm up, the PE teacher waved a hand, announcing free activities.
“Wen Yang! Wanna play ball?”
“You guys go ahead!”
Wen Yang, unable to contain himself, jogged over to Ning Chu and asked with concern, “How are you? Still in a lot of pain?”
“Not too bad, just hot…” Ning Chu held her stomach, letting out soft pained sounds, “I want something cold to drink.”
“You really are trying to kill yourself.”
“Ugh~”
Even though it was free time, the teacher only allowed students to stay on this playground. Ning Chu wanted to sneak back to the dorm, but the teacher repeatedly called roll, and anyone missing would be considered as leaving class early.
Not-so-free free time…
She glanced at the PE teacher, and in the world of the small royal text, even the usually bloated and sickly PE teacher had become a strong man. It was rumored that this teacher was once a provincial athlete.
“Should I go to the court to play?”
Ning Chu quickly got up, “I’ll go take a look too.”
Wen Yang was suddenly full of energy, imagining a scene where he made a beautiful dunk while Ning Chu cheered and clapped for him.
Too bad he couldn’t play ball at all…
Knowing Ning Chu’s personality, she was likely to laugh and ridicule him after seeing him make a fool of himself; it was unlikely she’d be the type to cheer enthusiastically.
Arriving at the other side of the playground at the basketball court, Ning Chu immediately found another bench to sit on, crossing her legs and watching the dozen or so classmates sweating it out on the court.
Aside from her roommates, she couldn’t even remember the names of those boys.
Wen Yang’s slight control over her was one thing; on the other hand, she didn’t trust the other guys either.
The male lead was a timid, inexperienced virgin. While there might be some action in the plot, it would be after Wen Yang had experienced it himself, but the other classmates were a different story…
“Ning Chu~”
That cheerful greeting immediately brought to mind a golden retriever.
The familiar big tail and pointy ears came into her view as Yan Xinya sat down beside her and casually hugged her arm.
Ning Chu frowned uncomfortably, pulling her arm away and shifting a bit further.
The wolf girl pouted, muttering to herself, “Do you dislike me that much?”
Though her tone sounded self-deprecating, her drooping tail clearly showed her disappointment.
“It’s not that; I’m just not used to being too close…” Ning Chu spoke softly, like calming her little dog, “And we haven’t known each other long.”
“Ah? Aren’t we best friends?!”
Who said we were best friends?!
Ning Chu rolled her eyes at her, but then suddenly heard a chorus of girls cheering nearby.
Following the noises, her gaze moved to the other end of the court.
Where did so many vixens come from?!
It was clearly Lin Li leading the pack, with a group of seven or eight girls who didn’t seem to know basketball. Even if Wen Yang made a simple pass, the girls would collectively cheer under Lin Li’s direction. If the ball was intercepted, there would be a crescendo of boos.
Wow! Is this how the male lead gets treated?
Ning Chu looked back at Wen Yang on the court; under the encouragement of the girls, he put even more effort into playing.
She squinted in displeasure while trying to spot any potential plot characters among the girls: “Xinya, how many of those girls do you know? I feel like I haven’t seen some of them before?”
“Those few are from Class Two; they have PE class with us.”
“Do you know their names?”
Yan Xinya perked up, her ears going straight and her tail wagging excitedly, “Are you worried they’ll steal your man?!”
“No, I’m not interested in Wen Yang.”
Look at how nervous Ning Chu was; she practically had “Wen Yang is mine” written all over her face.
Suppressing her amusement, it seemed that Wen Yang and Ning Chu only had mutual feelings for each other, but possibly hadn’t confessed yet?
Yan Xinya thought she could be a qualified wingman! To repay the help they had given her before.
“I only know two… The short girl on the left is called Wenwen…”
Ning Chu’s expression grew increasingly tense.
Although she couldn’t remember the plot right away, just hearing that name made her certain Wenwen was a side character in the book!
She had initially noted it for convenience, but it had now become a way to distinguish between ordinary people and side characters.
She watched Wenwen from afar, estimating her height at just over 1.5 meters, a cute loli girl, but she was certain the other girl was definitely an adult.
Ning Chu’s thought process suddenly took a turn.
That doesn’t make sense~ Wen Yang is so big, but Wenwen is so pitifully small. How on earth does that work in the plot?
Won’t it break?
But she really shouldn’t be seeking reason in a small royal text.
“Do you know Wenwen?”
Yan Xinya shook her head, “I just know the name… Should I help you dig up some dirt?”
“Yeah, find out some gossip.” Ning Chu realized the wolf girl was pretty useful, “And keep an eye on Lin Li too; she looks like a lovesick fool, always staring at Wen Yang in class instead of paying attention to the board!”
“That fox~ Because of her, your reputation among the girls in class isn’t great.”
Ning Chu replied, “Don’t tell me that; just don’t let it reach my ears.”
As a man, she didn’t want to get into those petty tactics with Lin Li.
It’s just the powerless rage of the weak!
