Chapter 425
“Ah!!!”
A shrill scream drew Ning Chu’s attention. She looked up and saw Zhang Shaoqing clutching his thigh, baring his teeth in pain, while the cat girl maid beside him wore an utterly innocent expression.
“Oh dear, Master, what’s wrong?”
“Does it hurt? I’ll rub it for you~”
“Ah!!! I was wrong! I was wrong!”
Watching Qian Qian, her face full of concern, grab Zhang Shaoqing by the waist again, Ning Chu froze for a moment, then glanced at the voluptuous café owner.
Well, that settles it—this couple really does have a great relationship.
She turned to Wen Yang, only to see that her own protagonist was far more proper than the typical villain—head down, eyes straight, quietly playing on his phone.
“Handsome, what would you like to order?” the cafe owner asked.
Hearing her, Wen Yang instinctively looked up and replied, “Same as Ning Chu. Set A.”His gaze uncontrollably dropped toward the owner’s chest—but the instant it did, he forcibly lowered his head again and went back to his phone.
Zhang Shaoqing’s miserable state was still fresh in his mind. He really didn’t want to invite trouble right now.
“Damn it, that really hurts… You women are way too vicious when you strike,” Zhang Shaoqing cursed as he rubbed his thigh and waist, then added, “Hey, since we’re all together, wanna go sing at KTV after we eat?”
Ning Chu gave him a look like she was staring at human garbage. He hurriedly explained, “A proper KTV!”
“Proper?” Qian Qian asked curiously. “Then what about the improper ones?”
“……”
Zhang Shaoqing felt a chill run down his spine. Even though today was supposed to be a master–maid roleplay, he didn’t feel the slightest pleasure of being the ‘master.’
Changing his tune immediately, he said, “Forget it. Just the few of us singing wouldn’t be much fun. Let’s do it on the weekend—call Wang Jie too.”
Tonight, he’d better just find a hotel and properly teach this cat girl maid her “place”!
“Best if Wang Jie brings his girlfriend,” Ning Chu suggested. “I’ve wanted to meet her for a while.”
“Yeah, I’m curious too.”
Just how strong was that girl, to drain Wang Jie dry every single time?
A succubus seemed unlikely—if she really were one, Wang Jie would probably be nothing but skin and bone by now.
“Oh right, Qian Qian is planning to quit her job,” Zhang Shaoqing said as he ate the pastries that had just been served. “She’s a teacher now, and dating a student doesn’t look great, so she might as well resign.”
“Huh?”
Then what am I supposed to do about my final English exam?!
“What’s Qian Qian planning to do afterward?” Ning Chu asked.
Zhang Shaoqing stirred his coffee with a straw and answered casually, “I’ll put up some money and open a small, cozy bar near the school. That way, on weekends we can all hang out there.”
“……”
Damn it, being rich is nice.
Just like that, opening a shop for his girlfriend.
Ning Chu glanced at Wen Yang, wondering when her own protagonist would finally make it big and take her along to become a first-generation rich person.
The hentai protagonist halo probably didn’t work that way. Otherwise, they’d have made money ages ago instead of being stuck with an entire box of unsold goods from their street stall.
Although the café owner had a bit of a mischievous streak, at least the coffee and pastries tasted good.
If Ning Chu weren’t worried about gaining weight, she could easily eat two slices of cake by herself.
After becoming a woman, she’d started paying more and more attention to her weight…
“We’re heading out~”
After eating, they said goodbye to Zhang Shaoqing and didn’t linger to disturb the couple engrossed in their maid roleplay, leaving the café together.
“No bus, right? Let’s walk back—burn off some calories and lose weight.”
“That’s pretty far.”
“If we get tired, we can ride bikes back~”
Since there was nothing important to do that evening, Ning Chu didn’t take the bus. Instead, she strolled leisurely along the sidewalk shoulder to shoulder with Wen Yang.
Once they left the streets around the school, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.
She had always liked going out at night—wandering aimlessly through the streets. With no crowds or traffic noise, only the quiet of the night, even the most restless heart could be soothed.
But as she gradually became more like a girl—and prettier too—she’d grown cautious even about going out alone at night.
She’d traveled the road between her rental apartment and the school countless times, but this was the first time she’d ever walked it on foot.
She also liked walking the streets with Wen Yang. Even without a destination, doing nothing in particular—just chatting casually—made time fly by.
With both factors combined, Ning Chu was in a pretty good mood.
After this confirmation, the mess Zhang Shaoqing had caused could finally be considered completely resolved.
“The Shaoqing in the book bullied and coerced Qian Qian, doing all kinds of bad things~”
“And the Shaoqing in reality is timid as hell—just one glance at the owner and he gets pinched~”
“So miserable~”
She said “miserable,” but she was practically about to laugh out loud.
Wen Yang, however, asked curiously, “What were you thinking back then, writing something like that?”
“Uh…”
“You weren’t actually thinking about doing that yourself, were you…?”
“No! How could I?” Ning Chu hurriedly denied it, shaking her head hard. “I was a guy back then! I was writing from a male perspective, okay? It’s different now!”
“I see… then why were you so enthusiastic when you kidnapped me last night?”
She argued seriously, “That was because the twins were too tempting—I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle it, so I had to sacrifice myself! I’m not some pervert like Shaoqing, playing maid roleplay or anything~”
Strictly speaking, bondage and ‘training’ sounded even more perverted than maid roleplay…
Wen Yang silently complained about the little succubus’s sophistry.
“Let’s drop it. I’m tired of walking,” Ning Chu said guiltily, changing the subject. She looked around at the street. “Help me find a shared bike.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to lose weight? We’ve only been walking for ten minutes.”
“I’m already this skinny—what weight is there to lose~”
“Mm. Slightly chubby looks better.”
Ning Chu knew perfectly well what men meant by “slightly chubby.” She glanced down at herself and confirmed that she fit that description right now.
All the ‘extra’ weight was in her chest and hips~
Everywhere else was soft and lacking muscle, but there was no obvious excess fat.
Except for her belly…
Unless she deliberately tensed it, there was always a faint rise there. Paired with the silver markings on her lower abdomen, it was downright lewd~
“There’s a bike across the street.”
“Ride it over here! I’m too lazy to cross!”
“Alright!”
Wen Yang quickly ran across the road, scanned the code, and rode the bike back, stopping beside Ning Chu.
The seat of the shared bike was a bit small. When Ning Chu got on, nearly half of her butt didn’t fit, so she had to lean forward and press herself tightly against Wen Yang.
“You holding on okay?”
“All set!”
Ning Chu raised her right hand high, pointing forward, and shouted excitedly, “Let’s go!”
“Hey! Slow down!”
The e-bike started suddenly, scaring her into hugging Wen Yang’s waist tightly and stuffing her cold hands into his jacket pockets.
The chilly wind rushed toward them. Freezing, Ning Chu lowered her head and rested it against Wen Yang’s back to block the wind.
“So cold~”
“Once we buy a small car, it won’t be cold inside.”
“It definitely won’t be as fun as this, though.”
“It will be. I promise.”
