Chapter 617 : Chu Feng I Want a Girlfriend, Not a Big DIO!
“Finally, the rush is over~”
Ling Ning collapsed onto the counter, utterly exhausted. She couldn’t help but wonder why she had decided to come to the café today. Wasn’t this just asking for trouble? She hadn’t expected to be so swamped.
From her position behind the counter, Zhou Xiaoxiao inadvertently glanced at Ling Ning’s curvaceous backside. For some inexplicable reason, she felt an urge to give it a playful smack. Ling Ning’s posture didn’t help—it somehow evoked... certain thoughts.
Suddenly, Ling Ning felt a light slap on her bottom. She turned her head instinctively, only to find Zhou Xiaoxiao grinning mischievously at her.
“Xiaoxiao, do you have a death wish?”
“You can’t blame me! The way you were positioned just now—it was practically inviting me to do it!”
Ling Ning said nothing more. Instead, she grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao’s hand and, under the latter’s horrified gaze, delivered several firm smacks to her behind. To her surprise, the texture was rather satisfying.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, now clutching her reddened bottom, looked at Ling Ning with flushed cheeks, unable to utter a word.
As if recalling something, Ling Ning asked curiously, “Xiaoxiao, are you on break now?”
“Technically, I should be,” Zhou Xiaoxiao replied with a sigh. “But the school reformed the schedule this year. Even after break starts, third-year students have to stay for extra classes for at least half a month. Still, it’s better than other schools.”
“I see. That’s a shame.”
“Could you please wipe that smile off your face when you say that?”
Ling Ning chuckled. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing. So, how were your exam results? Is there anything you need help with? I’m on break now, so I could tutor you if you want~”
“Really? You mean it?”
“Of course I do.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “Then, Ling Ning, would you like to visit my school?”
“Your school? Isn’t it private and super strict? I heard it’s almost impossible for outsiders to get in.”
“That’s true, but I can find a way to sneak you in. So, what do you say? Want to take a look?” Zhou Xiaoxiao asked with a hopeful expression.
Ling Ning raised an eyebrow. “Why are you so eager for me to visit your school?”
“N-nothing! It’s just that once extra classes start, I’ll barely have any free time. If you could come in, you could tutor me there,” Zhou Xiaoxiao stammered, clearly flustered.
“Is that really all?” Ling Ning pressed, still suspicious.
“Of course it is!”
“Alright, but you’ll have to wait a few days. Starting tomorrow, I need to handle some backlog at the company. Once I’ve cleared it up, I’ll come find you.”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s face lit up with a dazzling smile. “Okay! Just give me a call once you’re free.”
Watching Zhou Xiaoxiao’s excitement, Ling Ning couldn’t help but smile wryly. She’d agreed partly out of curiosity. After all, the legendary all-girls’ school was said to be full of privileged young ladies. It piqued her interest.
At that moment, a familiar, dejected figure appeared in Ling Ning’s line of sight. Straightening up, she approached Chu Feng with a teasing smile. “Little Brother Chu Feng, why do you look so downcast?”
Hearing Ling Ning’s voice, Chu Feng pouted and said, “Sister Ling Ning, I got dumped again.”
“Eh?! But weren’t things going well with Miss Qian Xu? What happened? Did your secret as a boy get exposed?”
Ling Ning’s curiosity was piqued. If she remembered correctly, she’d seen them together not too long ago at Bai Yiyue’s concert. Such a sudden breakup was puzzling.
“You won’t believe this—Miss Qian Xu turned out to be a guy!” Chu Feng exclaimed, collapsing onto the table as if his dreams had been shattered.
Ling Ning feigned shock perfectly. “Little Brother Chu Feng, how did you find out that Qian Xu is actually a guy? Ahem, I mean, how did you discover it?”
Though her words betrayed some flaws, Chu Feng was too distraught to notice. He began recounting the events of that fateful day.
It had been an accident, really. After Bai Yiyue’s concert, their group had gone out for a celebratory late-night snack. However, Chu Feng tripped over something and accidentally knocked Qian Xu down.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Feng might have been thrilled. But his hand had inadvertently landed on... something it shouldn’t have. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks.
He had spent so much time and effort pursuing Miss Qian Xu, only to discover she was actually a guy!
Though Qian Xu had tried to explain, Chu Feng had fled the scene at lightning speed. Meanwhile, Wei Suozhai and Wei Lan, the siblings in their group, had remained completely clueless about what had transpired.
After hearing the story, Ling Ning barely managed to suppress her laughter. Putting on a serious face, she said, “I can’t believe there are still people who can cross-dress so convincingly that even you, Little Brother Chu Feng, couldn’t tell the difference!”
“I’m questioning everything about life right now,” Chu Feng lamented in despair.
Patting his shoulder gently, Ling Ning offered some words of comfort. “Don’t give up, Little Brother Chu Feng. I’m sure you’ll find a girlfriend one day. But honestly, I think pretty boys aren’t a bad option either!”
“No way! I want a pretty girl, not some big DIO!”
At that moment, the café door swung open, and a lovely young girl entered. Ling Ning recognized her instantly—it was Wei Lan, the younger sister of Wei Suozhai.
Scanning the room, Wei Lan’s gaze naturally landed on Chu Feng. She approached him with a bright smile. “Miss Chu Feng, I’m back!”
“Hello, Xiao Lan.”
