NOVEL NEXT Chapter 255
Chapter 255: Hei Dou Leaves 【9/20】
Early in the morning, Wen Yang arrived at the school gate.
He looked down to check his appearance, using the front camera of his phone to inspect his hairstyle, terrified that something might be off.
A sedan came driving from the end of the road.
He glanced at the license plate and immediately straightened up, showing his most spirited side.
The car stopped in front of Wen Yang, and Ning Chu got out from the passenger seat, stretching lazily: “Mom~ I’m off to class now?”
“After coming all this way, you didn’t think to show me around your school?”
“Have Hei Dou show you around? I still have class.”
She was still dressed in boys’ clothes, which displeased her mother: “Can’t you wear something pretty? You’re a girl after all, why do you insist on dressing like a boy?”
“I don’t want my classmates to say anything…” Afraid her mother would start lecturing her again, she quickly waved her hand, “I’m leaving!”
Ning Chu jogged over to Wen Yang and stood beside him on the curb.
“Then I’ll take Hei Dou back with me.”
Her mother turned to look at the back seat, and Hei Dou’s nose was pressed against the window, clinging to it, looking at Ning Chu and Wen Yang with sad eyes.
“Hei Dou, say goodbye to your sister.”
“Eh…”
“It’s okay, you’ll see your sister again in a couple of months.”
Hei Dou looked utterly dejected, lacking energy: “Sister, goodbye~”
“Bye! Listen to Mommy when you get home!”
Just as her words fell, Ning Chu suddenly changed her expression and hurried forward: “Mom! Wait! There’s something I need to say!”
“What’s wrong?”
She approached the car and glanced at Hei Dou in the back seat, whispering to her mother: “Hei Dou is half a year old now.”
“Hmm?”
“She’s already entered the puberty phase…”
Ning Chu’s face turned red as she reminded her: “She’s still so young, don’t let her get tempted by someone!”
“Just like you did?”
“Why are you bringing me up?!” She pouted to her mother, “Just make sure you keep an eye on her; if she doesn’t turn into a cat girl, I was going to take her to get spayed!”
“Got it, I’ll keep it in mind.”
Ning Chu rolled her eyes at her mother and then looked at Hei Dou: “Be good now~ Don’t make Mommy angry.”
“Mom~”
“Call her sister… alright, be good~”
“Oh~”
As the sedan started, Hei Dou kept her eyes on Ning Chu until her figure vanished from view.
She pouted, head drooping, her once-perky ears drooping too, and her tail ceased to wag.
“Take a nap; there’ll be steak when we get home.”
“Steak!”
Hei Dou perked up immediately.
“I only know how to eat,” her mother shook her head helplessly but with a smile, “I just wonder which brat will come and take you away in the future~”
“I’m just gonna stay home, I won’t go anywhere!”
……
Watching her mother drive away, Ning Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally sent her mom off, and she wouldn’t have to take care of Hei Dou.
With satisfaction, she straightened up and pulled out a sachet from her pocket, handing it to Wen Yang: “Hey, I secretly collected a bunch of tail hairs yesterday, it’s all in here.”
“Make sure to carry it with you, or that female ghost will bother you again.”
Wen Yang responded, but his face was filled with worry as he asked, “Your mom still doesn’t really like me, does she?”
“Yeah~” Ning Chu linked her arm with Wen Yang’s, giggling, “But she doesn’t oppose!”
“Well, that’s good…”
“Anyway, there’s still time~”
Even if they got married right after graduation, that would be more than three years away.
By then, who knows what might happen?
Ning Chu recalled her mother’s words yesterday and her expression dimmed slightly: “Wen Yang…”
“What’s wrong?”
“If… one day you don’t like me anymore, just man up and tell me directly.”
“???!!!”
“Don’t be like my dad… suddenly just running away one day… my mom waited for him for over ten years and never saw him again.”
Wen Yang was taken aback, heart aching as he pulled her closer: “I won’t, don’t think too much.”
“I hope so…”
“Hey hey hey~ Are you guys showing off your love during broad daylight?”
Ning Chu suddenly jolted, quickly breaking free from Wen Yang’s embrace, turning around to see a car had stopped behind them, and Zhang Shaoqing stuck his head out of the window, grinning and teasing: “Oh no~ What if other classmates see you?”
Her face flushed red as she raised her foot to kick the car door: “Are you crazy or what?!”
She hesitated to kick too hard, fearing she wouldn’t be able to pay for it, so instead, she scraped the white car with her shoe, leaving a trail of dust.
Zhang Shaoqing, who cherished his car dearly, blew up: “What the heck! You’re kicking me? Why are you kicking my car?!”
He quickly got out of the car, took a soft cloth, and carefully wiped the door, relieved to see no marks left before he calmed down.
“Psycho!”
“You’re the psycho!”
Wen Yang rubbed his nose, feeling a headache coming on; every time these two met, they either argued or threw sarcastic comments at each other, acting like enemies.
“Alright, alright, Shaoqing, why didn’t you come back last night?”
“Got beat up by his mom and couldn’t get out of bed?”
Zhang Shaoqing scoffed: “I’m a grown man, how could my mom beat me?”
“Ran two streets away! She couldn’t catch me!”
Ning Chu rolled her eyes at him and, seeing that his foolish face hadn’t darkened yet, felt a bit more at ease.
It seemed only relationship problems could make Zhang Shaoqing turn villainous.
Zhang Shaoqing got back in the car and called them: “Get in, I’ll drive you both to class.”
“You guys don’t know, in the past couple of days, I’ve gone on a few blind dates with some girls.”
“Not even a cat girl among them! Damn!”
Ning Chu initially thought of replacing Hei Dou with a cat girl for Zhang Shaoqing, but this guy was so impatient, he wouldn’t even wait a day and missed his chance.
Considering Hei Dou’s appearance at around ten years old… Zhang Shaoqing really might go too far!
After all, this guy always went to extremes, at least according to the book.
“Hey, by the way, did you guys finish the group project last night?”
The parking lot was not far from the teaching building as Zhang Shaoqing drove slowly while asking: “We had an agreement; I’m only responsible for presenting, you guys have to give me a speech script, or I won’t understand anything.”
“Can’t you learn a bit?”
“I just wanna coast through!”
While there were many students in college strictly maintaining their standards, enduring tougher times than during the high school entrance exams, there were also plenty like Zhang Shaoqing who just didn’t care.
Ning Chu was one of those representatives.
She sighed: “Fine, I’ll get you the script in a couple of days, you can just read it.”
“Oh, by the way, did you know about Wang Jie?”
Ning Chu suddenly brought up Wang Jie, catching Zhang Shaoqing off guard: “What happened to him?”
“Got drained by his girlfriend~ Yesterday, he walked crookedly on the old path~ And he just happened to run into the 1,000-meter physical test, almost collapsing.”
Zhang Shaoqing had just pulled into a parking space, turned around, and looked at the two in the back seat: “Wen Yang, why aren’t you limping yet?”
Wen Yang chuckled shyly: “Trying my best.”
Trying your best, my foot!
Ning Chu secretly poked Wen Yang in the side while scolding Zhang Shaoqing: “Mind your own business!”
