Volume 1 Chapter 69: Another Bad Girl!
At 8:30 in the evening, Ning Chu heard familiar voices coming from the hallway.
He quickly got up from his chair, grabbed the two band-aids on the table, and rushed to the bathroom.
"Damn! That girl is really something!"
Before the door even opened, Zhang Shaoqing's voice had already reached inside the dormitory.
Ning Chu's hand was on the balcony door handle, but he silently pulled it back.
"She's okay."
"Okay? Then why did you add her as a friend?"
Ning Chu pursed his lips and sat back down.
Did they really go to play basketball, or did they visit the red-light district?
"No, it was just for fun, so I added her... don't tell Ning Chu."
"Why do you speak like you're cheating? You guilty jerk!"
"..."
After a brief silence, Zhang Shaoqing kicked the dormitory door open and rushed to the balcony. "I'm taking a shower first!"
Wen Yang, who was also sweating, had no choice but to move his chair in front of the air-conditioning vent and sat down tiredly, but he glanced at Ning Chu's back out of the corner of his eye.
Although it wasn't cheating, maybe because he had been restricted so much, whenever he interacted with girls, he would immediately think of Ning Chu and feel guilty.
Mainly because he did have some fantasies about that energetic athletic girl; her tanned skin really hit his soft spot.
But as a man, being interested in pretty girls was normal...
He glanced at Ning Chu again, only to meet his expressionless gaze.
Instinctively, Wen Yang looked away.
But Ning Chu stood up, picked up his chair, and sat down next to Wen Yang without a word.
"..."
He was still considering if it was a misunderstanding.
If it was just playing ball and chatting with a girl, it wasn't a big deal.
His main worry was any close physical contact.
He discreetly sniffed, catching a faint scent of sweat and an indescribable, pleasant smell that quickly filled his senses.
His face instantly flushed red.
Ning Chu knew he couldn't smell anything more, so he glanced at the sound of water coming from the balcony bathroom. "By the way, the counselor talked to me alone earlier. He said your family isn't well off and you can apply for school subsidies. He asked me to persuade you."
"My family situation..." The unexpected topic caught Wen Yang off guard.
After a moment, he replied, "It's okay. Relatives and friends help out since I got into college, and there's student loans."
"How much is your monthly living expense now?"
"Around four or five hundred..."
Four or five hundred for living expenses was little but not poor enough to qualify for aid.
Now, Wen Yang spent about twenty a day on meals, and at night he earned extra money by gaming and coaching, which added to his living expenses, making life tight but manageable.
Not to mention a wealthy friend occasionally treated him to snacks and tea.
"Okay... that's not too bad." Ning Chu nodded, completing the counselor's task before shifting the topic. "So, did you catch the eye of another vixen this time?"
Wen Yang couldn't help frowning: "We were just playing ball together, why are you saying that?"
"..."
Good grief! You are actually contradicting me now!
You must have feelings for that vixen!
Ning Chu was surprised.
He thought after all this time, Wen Yang had lost interest in women, but some girl had stirred his heart!
It seemed Wen Yang had a good impression of that girl.
His expression became more serious.
It wasn't time for reprimands but to understand the situation and see if it triggered any plot.
"Playing ball together, that's good...," Ning Chu said lightly, trying to hide his displeasure. "You seem bored in the dorm. It's good to get out and play, especially with a girl accompanying you~"
"Why are you being sarcastic..."
Wen Yang tried to gauge his expression, but Ning Chu's lowered hair blocked his view.
"Do you like her?"
"Not really." Wen Yang was embarrassed by the direct question and shook his head with a wry smile. "Just a little crush."
"Oh? What's her name?"
"Shan Shan. She's good at basketball and seems to teach it part-time, probably does fitness too..."
He needs to recall carefully!
Sports, fitness, basketball coach, Shan Shan!
The four keywords immediately triggered Ning Chu's memory of the plot.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling deeply troubled.
"What is it?"
"Uh..."
How to say it? Tell Wen Yang directly that she's a girl who likes to string along men?
If the current Wen Yang were like the protagonist of the Hentai Doujin that he's supposed to be, they would probably just fuck and never talk again after.
But Wen Yang was now an inexperienced virgin... He'd likely lose his virginity and get his heart broken.
Ning Chu pursed his lips, thinking hard about how to handle this plot trigger.
"Don't overthink it. It's just a little crush... She seems nice, not like those clingy girls from before."
"I agree with being responsible to girls. I didn't dare accept the ones chasing me, but this time feels different."
It is different! Far worse!
At least the previous ones were virgins!
You played basketball once and are already defending her!
A few more times, and you'll be booking a room!
No, Wen Yang can't afford that.
They would probably have sex outside.
He twitched his mouth and joked, "Aren't you afraid she has a boyfriend? Maybe several?"
"No way? She doesn't seem like that kind of person."
Wen Yang muttered, a bit unsure.
Mainly because Ning Chu's prominent chest accidentally drew his gaze.
Compared to Shan Shan's big basketballs, Ning Chu's small bumps seemed cuter.
How to say… It's economical on fabric.
"You can't judge by appearances! Don't get deceived."
"I don't think so. She hasn't asked me out to eat or drink, just played ball. How could I get deceived..."
You got deceived emotionally, you fool!
"You haven't even met her."
At this moment, Zhang Shaoqing finished his shower and walked in yawning.
Ning Chu immediately turned to him. "Shaoqing! What do you think of Shan Shan?"
"Huh? She's great." Zhang Shaoqing recalled. "Big, good at basketball, pretty too, very energetic type, right?"
Wen Yang nodded repeatedly.
Good grief! Even Zhang Shaoqing is bewitched!
Ning Chu glared angrily at Wen Yang, then got up and headed to the bathroom.
Damn it! I should've gone and played basketball with them too!
Shouldn't have given Wen Yang this so-called trust!
"I need a shower too."
"Give me five minutes!"
As Ning Chu passed Zhang Shaoqing, the latter suddenly exclaimed, "Are you masturbating or what? What kind of shower took 5 minutes?"
"Get lost!"
"Why so grumpy?" Zhang Shaoqing mumbled, looking at Wen Yang. "He's jealous because you played ball with a girl?"
"That's... not it, right?"
