Later, the girls who had been drunk during the day finally sobered up and remembered the real purpose of today.
They were going to introduce Xinxia to the boy she liked!
Still reeking of alcohol, they gathered outside the school gate, chattering excitedly.
“Shaoqing asked his friend, and he said the guy doesn’t have any dark history. Seems like he’s only had two relationships,” Ning Chu shared, feeling a little relieved.
This school was a major stage for the little emperor's circle, and she couldn’t help but think that this guy might have been involved in some shady clubbing scene or could be one of those guys who’s always chasing after women.
But Zhang Shaoqing, that rich second generation, knew all sorts of people and was well-informed.
“He’s had two relationships? Does Xinxia date?” Yan Xinxia asked curiously.
“One...”
“Eh! When? How come we didn’t know about it?”
Xinxia blushed awkwardly, “It was in middle school, we didn’t really know better, just holding hands...”
“Eh~ That’s pretty much the same as Xinxia’s situation, right?” Ning Chu teased, giving Yan Xinxia a little nudge on the shoulder. “In middle school, you only held hands, and now that you’re in college, it’s still just holding hands, huh~”
“I’m conservative! I value myself!” the wolf girl said proudly. “Unlike you! You just gave it all up right after getting together with Wen Yang!”
“!!!”
Not just after a few days of being together, but actually right after becoming a girl...
A strong sense of shame immediately made Ning Chu’s face flush deep red. She stammered, trying to explain, “I... I was sure about him! And it had been a few months already! It wasn’t just a few days!”
“You guys were living together really early, huh? Did you guys do anything?”
“No!”
She forcefully nodded with a firm denial.
How could what happened be considered ‘giving it up’? That was just how succubi hunt!
But unfortunately, even Lili was looking at her with a suspicious expression, clearly not believing a word.
Just then, a handsome young guy with short blonde hair walked out of the school gate, immediately catching Xinxia’s attention. The others also eagerly sized him up.
“Blonde hair...” Ning Chu twitched her lips.
She had no good feelings about blondes. In many novels, the protagonists of NTR (netorare) stories often had blonde hair.
Thankfully, the blonde hair didn’t seem to make the young guy look like a punk or a gangster. It actually seemed to suit him quite well.
“Blonde hair matches my red hair, doesn’t it~” Xinxia swung her pigtails excitedly and asked, “Isn’t he handsome? My eye for men is pretty good, huh?”
“Oh! Didn’t we play ball with him before? I dunked on him! His name is Zhang Jiajun, right?”
Yan Xinxia suddenly remembered who the guy was, tapping her chin and commenting, “He’s okay-looking, but his basketball skills are terrible.”
“Meh,” Lili commented disinterestedly, lowering her head to continue playing with her phone.
“Yeah, pretty average...” Ning Chu nodded in agreement.
Not to compare him with her main guy, but that guy’s looks were about on par with her brother—nothing extraordinary, at best a ‘good-looking’ guy.
“Guys who are too good-looking tend to cheat. Not every handsome guy is as obedient and honest as Wen Yang.”
She rolled her eyes at Xinxia. “Wen Yang isn’t exactly obedient.”
That guy also liked to look at beautiful women and would be tempted by beauty, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) just like any other man. It was a common flaw.
But with her constantly giving him a little “affection” every day, his impulses were significantly reduced. No matter how distracted Wen Yang got, his moral compass would keep him in check.
This was a path she had never imagined back then.
Back when she was working so hard, scheming to ruin the plot, why not just drain him dry from the start?
“I’m going! You guys stay back and observe!”
The handsome Zhang Jiajun had been waiting by the school gate for a while, and Xinxia, fearing being late, hurriedly ran over to meet him.
From a distance, Ning Chu and the others secretly hid behind, observing like thieves.
“Xinxia, aren’t you planning to reconcile with your boyfriend?”
“Why do you keep bringing that up?” Yan Xinxia peered over at Xinxia and suddenly shouted in surprise like a prairie dog, “Look at her! She’s so cute~ I just want to bring her home~”
At this moment, Xinxia was so shy that even her earlobes were red. She couldn’t make eye contact with Zhang Jiajun, her gaze flitting nervously around. She held her hands close to her chest and kept tucking her hair behind her ear. Her steps were light and quick, taking small, hurried steps to follow him.
Ning Chu looked at the lovestruck girl and couldn’t help but smile like an aunt, “So this is how young girls act~”
“Hmm, when you were with Wen Yang, you were like this too~”
“Nonsense! How could that be? I wasn’t that obsessed!”
“Really? I don’t know who it was who stuck to Wen Yang the moment she saw him~ Her eyes were practically sparkling with love! Her little waist twisting and turning~”
Why was she describing it like Ning Chu got all horny when she saw Wen Yang!
Ning Chu was both embarrassed and angry, kicking Yan Xinxia in the leg. It was a miss, so she quickly ran up ahead and shouted, “Stop!”
“Not gonna!”
Lili watched the two play-fight, completely expressionless, and was starting to think they had forgotten about their original goal.
She glanced at Xinxia, who had turned into another street and was now out of sight, about to stop their antics when—
“Stop playing around...”
As she spoke, Yan Xinxia accidentally bumped into her shoulder, causing her to stumble a few steps back and, despite her best efforts to steady herself, fall down on her butt.
The sharp pain in her backside immediately brought tears to her eyes.
“Hey! Are you alright?”
Ning Chu quickly stopped the play-fight and squatted down to check on Lili.
“I’m fine...”
“This girl, always causing a ruckus.”
She glared at Yan Xinxia, frustrated, then helped Lili up, brushing the dust off her behind. “Does Xinxia not know that our succubi are very sensitive to pain? Always so careless!”
Yan Xinxia realized she had caused trouble and stood to the side with an apologetic look, her hands awkwardly at her sides.
“Well, um, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight?” She shamelessly stepped forward. “There’s a new barbecue place nearby, and I heard they have freshly roasted lamb legs! Really delicious~”
Lili hesitated before asking, “Is it really good?”
“Really! I’ll treat!”
...
“I thought you invited me out to play basketball.”
Ahead on the street, Xinxia and Zhang Jiajun walked toward the student street.
Xinxia lowered her head, trying to make herself seem ladylike and sweet. “I don’t really play basketball much. I was just accompanying my friend last time.”
“Was it that dog girl?”
“It’s a wolf!”
She corrected Zhang Jiajun’s mistake and quietly muttered, “She really does look like a dog though...”
“Want to have dinner? I’ll treat.”
“No, I’m not that hungry.”
Xinxia’s heart was racing so fast she could practically hear the thumping in her ears, her face burning. She swallowed nervously and turned to look behind her, only to find that her girlfriends, who were supposed to be following, were nowhere to be seen.
Huh? Where did they go?
Without her friends with her, she suddenly felt even more nervous.
