Chapter 094: She
“It’s all resolved. The school expelled him, and the police found evidence and filed a case. It all went surprisingly smoothly.”
That evening, on the dormitory balcony, Wen Yang leaned against the railing, watching Ning Chu, who was bent over washing clothes. He wore a broad smile, brimming with a sense of accomplishment. “That scumbag won’t escape now! He’s looking at at least ten years!”
Wen Yang had never felt so accomplished in his life. The thrill of this victory surpassed even the excitement he felt when he got into his dream university after the college entrance exams. “The school will cooperate with the investigation. They just asked us to delete the posts and not let this blow up any further.”
“Yeah, got it...”
“Ning Chu! We really did something big this time!”
“Yeah.”
Wen Yang immediately noticed that Ning Chu didn’t seem quite right.
He frowned, puzzled, as he looked at Ning Chu’s slender back. “You don’t seem very happy.”
“I’m happy, really happy.”
“Then why do you sound like that...”@@@@
“My stomach hurts. I’m not feeling great.”
“...”
After nearly two months of being inseparable, Wen Yang could easily tell when Ning Chu was lying. His excitement deflated as he picked up on Ning Chu’s mood. He changed the subject. “How did you know that just reporting it to the police would solve everything?”
“Because it’s you.”
That unconditional, irrational support brought a small smile to Wen Yang’s face.
“Hang up my clothes for me, will you? I need to use the bathroom.” Ning Chu wrung out the last shirt and handed the basin of clothes to Wen Yang. “With the weather like this, the clothes should be dry by morning, right?”
“Yeah, probably.”
Wen Yang took the basin and, looking down, noticed Ning Chu’s intimate clothing. He felt a bit embarrassed, awkwardly glancing up at Ning Chu, but saw that he was already heading toward the bathroom.
Once the door was shut and locked, Wen Yang muttered under his breath, “Are girls really this casual about handling their intimate clothing now...?”
“She actually let a guy hang them up.”
Inside the bathroom, Ning Chu leaned against the tiled wall, taking deep breaths in an attempt to calm his racing heart.
Since returning to the dorm, he hadn’t dared to use the bathroom.
But avoiding it wasn’t going to solve anything.
After several deep breaths, his heartbeat only quickened.
Ning Chu bit his lower lip, first lowering his hands to cover his chest, feeling the small lumps there.
No change...
He then turned and looked at his backside.
Nothing seemed different there either.
But now, there was no hiding it!
Outside on the balcony, Wen Yang was puzzled by the sudden expletive he heard from Ning Chu. Before long, he heard her calling his name.
He walked over to the bathroom door, calling out, “There’s a roll of toilet paper under the tank.”
“No, that’s not it!”
“Then what is it?”
“...” The clear, anxious voice inside suddenly went silent. A moment later, it returned, this time much quieter. “Is Shaoqing or Wang Jie around? Can you hear me clearly?”
“They’re in the next room. I can hear you.”
What’s going on? Why does she sound so guilty?
“Uh... can you buy me some sanitary pads?”
“???”
“Hurry!”
So, she’s done pretending? She’s finally admitting she’s a girl?!
Wen Yang was momentarily stunned before a wave of joy washed over him.
Could this be because of how well he handled things today? Did he finally earn Ning Chu’s complete trust?!
“Got it!” He responded eagerly, a wide smile breaking out on his face. “Give me two minutes!”
“Two minutes?” Ning Chu was taken aback in the bathroom. “Are you planning to jump out the window?”
But her sarcastic remark went unanswered—Wen Yang had already dashed off.
Ning Chu looked down at the unfamiliar new feature between her legs, feeling a mix of curiosity and fear, sadness and resignation.
She could almost hear her own heartbeat, pounding loudly in her chest. Her chest felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone, making it hard to breathe. Sweat had already gathered on her skin, dripping down her face and onto the floor.
She wanted to cry, to let it all out, but the tears wouldn’t come...
She closed her eyes, her head drooping as she panted for breath. “So what happens next if I keep disrupting the plot? Will I get prettier? A better figure?”
“For a woman... that should be a reward, right?”
“I’ve lived this long, stuck in this cheesy novel... and I was a virgin until I became a woman.”
“Why did I have to write a cheesy novel...?”
Ning Chu murmured to herself, wiping away the blood over and over again. Her breathing grew faster, but the suffocating feeling in her chest wouldn’t go away, tightening around her throat.
Everything around her started to blur, her limbs slowly going numb.
“Ning Chu, I’m back. Open the door.”
“Ning Chu? Ning Chu?”
“Why... why are you breathing so heavily?”
