Although Zhang Shaoqing wasn’t exactly the same as the villain in her harem novel, in terms of stealing other people’s partners and putting them in humiliating situations, he had clearly been influenced by it. His talent in this area was exceptional.
Thankfully, Ning Chu had marked him as someone to watch closely from the beginning. She hadn’t let him fall into complete villainy after his first heartbreak, so for now, he was still just a silly, rich second-generation kid.
Otherwise, the one suffering wouldn’t have been the scumbag cheating on his girlfriend with wild parties... but rather the poor girl hiding in the boys' dorms.
Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Though the current situation still left her bent over with her backside under Wen Yang, at least it was with someone she liked, unlike the original novel’s plot, which was full of male-on-male action, both left and right, or worse, turning her into a communal toy.
“Who knows, maybe next semester we’ll see Shaoqing and Qianqian getting all lovey-dovey~”
She focused intently on the game on the TV screen, the slight vibrations of the controller adding to her enjoyment. Her upper body swayed gently to the intense background music of the game.
“But Qianqian’s really heartbroken~”
“Isn’t it better for her to realize what a scumbag he is sooner rather than later?”
“You’ve got a point.”
Yan Xinya sat down on the floor, grinning as she scooted closer. “Stop playing games~ We should go shopping now that we’re rested!”
“Shopping, huh...”
It was clear that the game had more appeal than shopping.
But Ning Chu had come to accompany a bored Lili, not to spend her time gaming at the arcade.
“Where’s Lili?” she asked, glancing at the door and noticing that Lili was nowhere to be found.
“She’s taking a shower. She said we’ll leave once she’s done.”
“She’s probably doing something else in the bathroom...”
Muttering to herself, Ning Chu suddenly paused the game and pulled out her phone.
What was up with her brother? Even though Lili had made her identity clear, he still refused her friend request and even blocked her! Was it that Lili wasn’t attractive enough or that her brother had some other problem?
“What’s wrong?”
“I introduced Lili to my brother, but he didn’t even add her as a friend. He’s such an idiot,” Ning Chu grumbled. “I don’t know what’s going through his head. Let me ask him.”
Just as she thought, Ning Yuan was probably slacking off at work. No sooner had she sent her inquiry than she received a reply.
“I’m not planning on dating yet. Can’t you focus on your studies instead of meddling all the time?”
“Big brother~ She’s a super beautiful succubus and loaded with money!”
“No thanks, I’m not worthy.”
Ning Chu snorted, sending him a middle finger emoji. “Coward!”
Ning Yuan retaliated by sending a middle finger emoji back.
“What’s going on?” Yan Xinya leaned over curiously. “Lili’s such a knockout! He’s really not interested?”
“It’s nothing, my brother chickened out.”
“Huh?”
Even though it was just a short online conversation, Ning Chu had once been a man and knew her brother well, so she quickly figured out the real situation.
She summed it up: “He’s just a shy little virgin, that’s how they usually act.”
There are always some people who claim they want a girlfriend, but when they actually meet someone they like, they can’t even bring themselves to look her in the eye. Even if they get a chance at romance, they won’t seize it.
Besides, Ning Yuan probably thought this was some prank of hers. Otherwise, he likely would’ve accepted the friend request and just let it sit there, rather than blocking her.
Footsteps approached from outside, and Lili peeked into the room, her hair still dripping with water. “Are we going? I need to do my makeup.”
“Ning Chu! Stop playing!” Yan Xinya urged.
“Wait, let me finish my milk tea first.”
In the ten minutes it took her to finish the milk tea, Ning Chu hurriedly cleared a small level in the game, feeling satisfied as she finally got up.
She had to admit, Lili’s homemade milk tea was really good—much more refreshing than the stuff sold outside.
After putting down her cup, Ning Chu turned off the TV and game console, pushed herself up from the bed, and said, “Let’s go!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Yan Xinya jumped up and grabbed Ning Chu’s arm, pulling her towards the door.
Lili had just finished drying her hair, slowly setting down the hair dryer. She took a quick glance at the vanity mirror, but before she could react, the wolf girl rushed back into the room, grabbed her by the arm, and yanked her out.
“Let’s go, no more stalling!”
“Wait! My makeup...”
“No need for makeup! We’re just going shopping! Look, Ning Chu didn’t even put on any makeup!”
Well, that’s because Ning Chu was naturally beautiful, with flawless skin like a porcelain doll!
Though Lili’s appearance and figure were also quite stunning, she had been staying at home, messing up her sleep schedule, and her complexion had dulled. She’d even gotten a few pimples, and compared to Ning Chu, who was glowing with good health from her relationship, she felt lacking.
No matter how close friends are, there’s always a bit of rivalry when it comes to appearance.

Being dragged to the entryway, Lili stumbled and finally gave up on the idea of putting on makeup.
Yan Xinya, still teasing, said, “You’re so slow! First a bath, now makeup. If you ever go on a date, your man’s going to die of impatience!”
“I’m not interested in dating.”
“Oh really~ Who was it that was jealous of Ning Chu for having a boyfriend~”
Standing by the elevator, Ning Chu heard her name and turned around, asking in confusion, “What about me?”
“Nothing!” The wolf girl sidled up to her, leaning close to whisper in her ear, “So, what does it feel like?”
“...”
At this question, Lili’s eyes lit up, and she quickly moved closer, staring at Ning Chu with an eager expression.
Ning Chu was dumbfounded. They were supposed to be going shopping, so why were they suddenly turning the conversation in this direction?
Two pairs of eyes stared intently at her, and her cheeks quickly flushed red. She turned away, embarrassed, and snapped, “Go get yourselves boyfriends if you’re that curious! Why are you asking me?”
“We’re just curious~ If we had boyfriends, we wouldn’t be asking you, would we?”
Lili nodded rapidly.
“Come on, tell us, is it... comfortable?”
Ning Chu’s gaze wandered, her ears turning bright red, as she mumbled awkwardly, “It’s... it’s just alright...”
“What do you mean ‘just alright’?” Yan Xinya complained. “Details! We want details! No one wants to hear ‘just alright’!”
“...”
How could she explain this?!
It was broad daylight! And she didn’t have that thick of a skin!
“Did it hurt?” Yan Xinya pressed.
Ning Chu’s face was completely flushed as she shook her head in discomfort.
“Well, that makes sense~ Succubi don’t feel pain, right? You’re built for this kind of stuff!”
“The elevator’s here!” Ning Chu cut her off, darting into the elevator as soon as the doors opened. She pressed the button to hold the doors open while urging, “Weren’t we going shopping?”
Although she had no interest in shopping—especially with her still-twisted ankle, which was causing her some mild pain—right now, she just wanted to escape this embarrassing conversation.
“You can run from the first, but not the fifteenth, right, Lili?”
Lili nodded excitedly.
“We’ll keep questioning you tonight!”
Tonight too?!
When night came, once the lights were off, shy Lili would transform into an experienced seductress. With both of them pressing her for details, Ning Chu wouldn’t stand a chance...
