Chapter 180: Chapter 180: The Little White Rabbit Has Learned to Be Bad (Part 1)
After lunch, Ye Ling silently trailed behind Ning Ruoxi, a woeful expression on his face.
’Damn, she really doesn’t hold back!’
’As expected.’
’Never, ever mess with a woman.’
Our dear Brother Ling had gained a profound understanding of this phrase today.
"What’s wrong? Still mad?"
Ning Ruoxi seemed to sense that Ye Ling was sulking behind her. She sidled up to him and said with a grin.
"I’m not mad."
Ye Ling muttered under his breath.
"I just told my senior on WeChat that I’m going to sign up for the dance club," Ning Ruoxi said, blinking and chuckling softly at his reaction.
"For real!?"
At that moment,
Ye Ling’s eyes instantly lit up.
"Yep. Since a certain big pervert wants to see me dance so badly, I figured I’d go learn. But I’ll just be learning casually."
Ning Ruoxi said, tilting her head.
"Hehe, you’re the best, darling."
Ye Ling instantly forgot all about what had just happened, his face filled with anticipation.
"But if I’m going to be learning to dance, I won’t have as much time to spend with you," Ning Ruoxi said with a pout.
Universities offer many club activities—dance clubs, literature clubs, astronomy clubs, and so on. The variety is immense. For students, these are genuinely great opportunities to develop hobbies and grow as individuals.
However, everyone only has so much time, and joining a club inevitably takes up a significant amount of it.
College may be more relaxed than high school, but to be frank, whether you’re busy or not is entirely up to you.
Some students, even in college, stick to a strict schedule: up at six in the morning, back to the dorms at nine at night, and every moment outside of class spent in the library.
Others hole up in their dorms playing video games all day, skipping class whenever they feel like it.
The final outcomes of these two completely different college experiences are, without a doubt, worlds apart...
"That’s fine. I can just come watch you at the dance club."
Ye Ling said nonchalantly.
"I think you just want to go to the dance club to check out the other pretty girls."
Ning Ruoxi remarked, seemingly offhandedly.
"No, absolutely not!"
Ye Ling replied at once.
In that instant,
he sensed danger.
"Pfft!"
"Don’t be so tense. I was only joking."
Seeing Ye Ling look like he was facing a mortal enemy, Ning Ruoxi suddenly burst out laughing.
Ye Ling rolled his eyes in exasperation.
’Ning Ruoxi has really been corrupted. She’s getting better and better at setting traps for me.’
’Don’t be fooled by her laughter. If I’d accidentally and subconsciously said yes...’
’...then I would’ve been totally screwed.’
...
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Ye Ling returned home. He was just about to take a shower when he received a message from Zhu Yun.
’Chairman Ye, the lawsuit concerning Yulian’s infringement has been filed with the court.’
In addition, Zhu Yun sent over some of Shengding Group’s recent policy decisions and asked if Ye Ling had any instructions.
Ye Ling only gave them a cursory glance. Zhu Yun was highly competent at handling things; honestly, he couldn’t have given better instructions himself.
’This is fine. You can handle everything.’
Ye Ling typed back a quick reply.
After sending the message, Ye Ling remembered something. He opened his laptop and typed a query into his browser.
’Girlfriend birthday ideas.’
Compared to the affairs of Net Entertainment Group, he was far more concerned about Ning Ruoxi’s upcoming birthday.
If he remembered correctly, it was this Saturday.
It was getting closer and closer.
So, he had to start making arrangements and preparations...
...
「The next day.」
In the afternoon, after his classes ended, Ye Ling glanced at the time. Seeing it was still early, he went and bought a dozen or so bubble teas and headed toward the School of Arts.
Ning Ruoxi didn’t have classes today, but since she had signed up for the dance club and had practice, she was on campus.
’I wonder how the little one’s practice is going today.’
Ye Ling muttered to himself, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
The Modu University dance club was located in the School of Arts and had its own dedicated studios. As a rule, ordinary students weren’t allowed to just walk in.
There had been cases of students trying to sneak into the dance club to check out the girls, only to be caught red-handed, reported to their academic advisor, and given a harsh reprimand.
But,
Ye Ling was an exception.
The young women of the dance club were all very enthusiastic to see him arrive.
It couldn’t be helped.
To a certain extent, this was still an age where looks mattered.
Anyone else would have likely been kicked out long ago...
"Ye Ling, what brings you here? Came to see Ruoxi?"
A girl who was at least 1.8 meters tall walked over to Ye Ling and asked with a broad smile.
To be honest, she was quite attractive. Although there was a considerable gap between her and Ning Ruoxi, in Ye Ling’s eyes, she was still a solid seven or eight out of ten.
More importantly, years of dance practice had given her an excellent figure, which was a definite plus.
If he had to point out a flaw, it would be her height.
For a girl, 1.8 meters was just a little too tall.
Looking at this girl who seemed just a little bit taller than him, Ye Ling suddenly felt a pang of inadequacy.
’Do all girls mature this well nowadays?’
"Yes, I came to see Ruoruo."
Ye Ling smiled and gestured with the bubble teas in his hand. "You’ve all been working hard at practice, so I brought some bubble tea. They’re all 30% sugar. Help yourselves."
"You’re too kind."
Seeing that Ye Ling had actually brought them bubble tea, the girls from the dance club were all smiles, their gazes toward him growing even friendlier.
Who could resist someone so handsome and considerate?
Ye Ling handed out almost all the bubble teas, keeping only one for Ning Ruoxi.
"Excuse me, which dance studio is Ruoruo in?"
After handing out the drinks, Ye Ling asked.
"She’s in Studio Three."
"Okay, thanks a lot."
Ye Ling nodded and headed in the direction she indicated.
Inside Dance Studio Three, several other girls were practicing along with Ning Ruoxi, one of whom was Qin Xuan.
Ye Ling stood at the entrance, not going in right away, instead scanning the room for Ning Ruoxi.
Suddenly,
he spotted a graceful figure in a pink leotard. Even though her back was to him, he recognized her instantly as Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi was doing stretches, her exquisite curves accentuated by the tight-fitting leotard, making her look exceptionally alluring.
’I never realized she had such a great body.’
Watching Ning Ruoxi, Ye Ling couldn’t help the slight smile that curled his lips.
