Chapter 300: Pure-hearted Boy Zhang Shaoqing
“Dress handsome for the date! Got it?!”
“Still wearing a down jacket?! You look like a penguin! Take it off!”
The afternoon exam had just finished, and a group of them marched over to the boys’ dormitory to join the fun.
Ning Chu had originally planned to go back to her rental apartment to study for her upcoming exams, but her curiosity got the better of her, and she dragged Wen Yang along with her.
She sat backward on a chair, elbows resting on the back, chin cupped in her hands, watching the hapless Zhang Shaoqing getting dressed like a mannequin, unable to stop smiling.
It was the first time she saw Zhang Shaoqing looking so flustered yet obedient.
“Aren’t you a rich second generation?! Where’s all your money? Is this all you have?”
“Spent it on games…”
Yan Xinya had sneaked into the boys’ dorm and was already familiar with the place. With her hands on her hips, she frowned at Zhang Shaoqing’s wardrobe: “Don’t waste this rare opportunity I found for you! If you miss today, you might not get another chance for a month!”
“By the next semester, who knows, Teacher Qian Qian might already be married!”
“Seriously?” Zhang Shaoqing suddenly felt anxious.
“Otherwise?! Teacher Qian Qian is already twenty-five! She’ll definitely be pushed into blind dates during the new year.”
The school didn’t have high requirements for ordinary lecturers; a master’s degree was enough. Nevertheless, Qian Qian was still six years older than Zhang Shaoqing—certainly time for some cute little golden bricks.
“Let’s do this: wear less. Don’t wear that puffy down coat.”
“But it’s still snowing outside!” Zhang Shaoqing protested strongly. “What if I freeze to death!”
“Ten degrees is not that cold! Do you want style or warmth?”
“That…”
Yan Xinya picked out a white turtleneck sweater for him and shoved it into his arms: “Put this on. If you don’t have good-looking clothes, at least wear clean ones. It’ll do.”
“Maybe add a… black jacket?”
“Don’t wear those loose, saggy pants! You look completely unspirited!”
Zhang Shaoqing was helplessly being bossed around, and the Wolf Girl’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. If that energy was put into studying, he’d definitely score in the top universities!
Ning Chu turned to Wen Yang and asked, “Did you get dragged around like this by her back then too?”
“Well, not really?”
“But she sure had a lot of weird ideas.” She wrinkled her nose, recalling the time Wen Yang confessed to her in the mall.
That confession was all Yan Xinya’s doing and scared her to bits.
“Should I prepare some roses?” Zhang Shaoqing, now dressed, trembled with cold as he spoke.
“No, I’m just taking Qian Qian shopping. She doesn’t even know you’re coming! Don’t scare her off!”
Ning Chu couldn’t help but ask, “Are you already friends with the teacher?”
“Yeah! Besties!”
“Wow…”
The Wolf Girl was indeed quite the social butterfly, easily befriending others. With her beauty and cuteness, most people couldn’t resist her charm.
Yan Xinya had already thought up a strategy and started coaching Zhang Shaoqing: “Just be quiet for now and be a background prop. Carry our bags; get familiar first! Don’t rush!”
“Why not just confess directly…?”
“Confess what?!” She exploded at his words. “You’re not even close! Why would she agree to that? Confessing requires the right feelings!”
Ning Chu reminded him, “Xinya probably just wants you to help carry stuff.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Zhang Shaoqing seemed a bit anxious. He nervously tugged at his shirt hem, checked himself in the mirror for a long time, and fiddled with his hairstyle.
Turning back to Wen Yang, he asked, “How did you two get together back then?”
Wen Yang pondered before replying, “We lived in the same dorm, stayed together all the time, so feelings just developed over time, I guess?”
“Develop what?!”
Ning Chu exploded, kicking him in the leg.
“C’mon! I still have a date!”
“A date with a ghost! You’re just here to carry bags!”
Zhang Shaoqing hurriedly dusted off his pants and, seeing some dirt remain, dashed to the balcony to grab a towel.
“Time’s running out.”
“Coming, coming!”
He rushed back, checking himself in the mirror one last time: “Ning Chu, do I look cool?”
“Let’s go!”
As soon as he heard Yan Xinya’s urging, he left the dorm with a nervous expression.
Ning Chu watched the dorm door close, mumbling, “This thick-skinned guy, usually so laid-back, now acts like a pure-hearted boy when chasing girls.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen him like this.” Wen Yang leaned against the desk, arms crossed, chuckling. “Seems like he really likes her.”
“Hmm, I think he should try being a bit more assertive. Being his usual self might work better.”
“How so?”
“It just feels…”
You can’t say that in the story setting, Teacher Qian Qian likes more assertive guys and might even have a bit of a submissive tendency, right?
She might even have Stockholm syndrome, falling for the villain!
Zhang Shaoqing’s humble demeanor might not help; if he teased and poked fun like he usually does, it might actually have better results.
Ning Chu stretched and looked at Wang Jie, who was still glued to his computer gaming.
This guy, playing games all day long, seems to care about nothing else. How did he even find a girlfriend?
He’s been drained dry and doesn’t think about exercising at all.
“Wang Jie, when he’s back, make sure to tell me what happens.”
“Sure.”
Wen Yang looked down and asked, “So are we heading back?”
“Let’s go! Back to studying! I want an early night, so I’m well-rested for tomorrow’s exam!”
Seeing the enthusiasm in Ning Chu, he sighed, “You said the same thing last night and ended up sleeping at midnight, barely waking up in the morning.”
“Doesn’t matter! If I can’t sleep, I have backup plans!”
“Backup plans?”
Wen Yang noticed a sudden rosy hue on the little succubus’s face.
It wasn’t the cold-induced red; no, this was the blush of shyness that made her look exceptionally tempting, making one want to take a bite.
“Shall we go eat in the cafeteria?” Ning Chu stepped out of the dorm, attempting to change the subject.
“What backup plan?”
But Wen Yang was too curious to let it go.
Especially with Ning Chu’s flushed cheeks, his curiosity only intensified.
Ning Chu fumbled with her words, unsure whether to tell Wen Yang about her discovery of her succubus nature.
Her flirtatious big eyes glanced around before she tiptoed closer to Wen Yang, whispering like a mosquito: “If you eat enough, you’ll be full of energy the next day.”
She felt like she was trying to coax food out of him.
“Ah?” Wen Yang paused, momentarily at a loss.
Lately, due to studying, he hadn’t been able to interact intimately with Ning Chu for days.
He abruptly felt a rising reaction as the signals from the activating succubus body began to affect him.
Wen Yang calmly closed his coat and buttoned it up, wearing it just in case to avoid the awkwardness.
He had already figured out how a succubus’s body worked and understood Ning Chu’s current state.
“I get it, I’ll treat you to milk tonight.”
“Pervert!”
“???”
Weren’t you the one who started this?!
