A short while later, Xu Yingying, having finished washing up, came out of her room.
She had just heard the sound of the door opening and closing in the room next door. She remembered that when she stayed here last time, Ning Wangshu's room was on the other side.
She couldn't help but look curiously through the crack under the door of the room next door and the room where Ning Wangshu was staying. Seeing that there was a faint light coming from both rooms, she hesitated for a moment, then pressed her ear to the door of the room next door and listened carefully to the sounds inside.
After confirming that there were no strange noises coming from inside, nor the sound of Ning Wangshu and Lin Qingzhu talking, she tried knocking on the door.
Soon, Lin Qingzhu opened the room.
"Hey, Yingying, what's wrong?"
Lin Qingzhu looked at Xu Yingying standing at the door and asked her suspiciously.
Xu Yingying glanced into Lin Qingzhu's room, then looked at Ning Wangshu's room, chuckled, and said, "Qingzhu, you two... aren't sleeping in the same room?"
Lin Qingzhu blushed and said coquettishly, "What are you saying!"
"Hey-hey..."
Xu Yingying smiled and said, "Since you two didn't sleep together, how about I sleep with you tonight? I'd like to have a good chat with you anyway."
"Okay!"
Lin Qingzhu didn't think much of it and immediately agreed.
With Ning Wangshu around, it was difficult for the girls to discuss some private matters.
Seeing that Lin Qingzhu agreed, Xu Yingying immediately went into her room with her.
Before long, the two were lying in bed chatting...
"By the way, Qingzhu, how far have things gone between you and Ning Wangshu?" Xu Yingying glanced at Lin Qingzhu beside her and suddenly asked.
"Which step?"
Lin Qingzhu blushed slightly, knowing full well the answer.
Xu Yingying grinned, pursed her lips, and looked at her with a suggestive expression, whispering, "So, have you two... you know... anything?"
Lin Qingzhu tried to play dumb, but her expression betrayed her.
Almost as soon as Xu Yingying finished speaking, her face flushed crimson, almost as if it could bleed. But she still pretended not to understand and said, "What do you mean by 'this' and 'that'? I... I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Ugh... you're still playing dumb with me. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about."
Xu Yingying covered her mouth and chuckled, then added, "But judging from your expression, you two haven't done 'that' yet? Let me tell you, if you've really decided on Ning Wangshu, you'd better hurry up and actually win him over."
" Ning Wangshu is so outstanding, aren't you afraid he'll be seduced by other women if you don't hurry up and win him over?"
" Wangshu wouldn't do that!"
Lin Qingzhu pouted and said.
Xu Yingying chuckled inwardly, speaking with the air of someone who'd been there, "You just don't understand. Men are all driven by their lower instincts. It's only the beginning, so it's not a big deal, but if you keep not giving in, he'll definitely start having second thoughts."
"If some other vixen were to appear around him at this time, he could easily be seduced!"
"R-Really?"
Lin Qingzhu seemed to hesitate.
Xu Yingying immediately patted her chest and said, "Of course! Isn't this kind of thing all the time? However, if you haven't made up your mind to commit to Ning Wangshu yet, then you can't let him succeed so easily, lest he thinks it's too easy and doesn't appreciate you."
Then, Xu Yingying asked with a gossipy look, "By the way, Qingzhu, between you two... who pursued whom? Or rather, who made the first move?"
Lin Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then blushed slightly and said softly, "Yes, I was the one who took the initiative first."
"So, have you decided on Ning Wangshu?"
Xu Yingying's eyes lit up as she asked again, looking every bit like a bystander watching a melon.
Lin Qingzhu nodded without hesitation this time, biting her lip lightly, and said, "Yeah. Anyway... anyway, unless he doesn't want me anymore, I'm sticking with him for life!"
"That settles it then. If you ask me, since you've already decided on Ning Wangshu, and you were the one who initiated things, you should be even more proactive, win him over as soon as possible, and completely lock him up, not giving those 'seductive sluts' any chance at all!"
Xu Yingying licked her lips excitedly, acting like a cunning strategist, encouraging him with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Hearing Xu Yingying's words, Lin Qingzhu hesitated yet looked at Xu Yingying with a hint of anticipation, and whispered, "Is this really okay? Won't it be... wouldn't it be too forward?"
Xu Yingying knew that Lin Qingzhu was clearly smitten, so she immediately patted her chest and said, "What's wrong with that? Just listen to me."
"Once Ning Wangshu has tasted the sweetness, you'll definitely have him completely under your control, hehe..."
Hearing this, Lin Qingzhu still felt a little shy, but she also felt that what Xu Yingying said made sense. Just as she gritted her teeth and was about to respond, she suddenly realized something.
Looking at Xu Yingying, he said, "Huh? No, Xu Yingying, have you ever been in a relationship? I don't remember ever having been in a relationship."
"I've never been in a relationship, so what?"
Xu Yingying hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously replied.
Lin Qingzhu rolled her eyes and said irritably, "So you know you've never been in a relationship? Then why were you talking so confidently just now, like you were a dating expert who'd been in countless relationships!"
Xu Yingying was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh and said, "Hehe, although I've never been in a relationship, I've read countless sweet and angsty romance novels, and I'm very familiar with all the dating tropes in those novels."
The old saying goes, "Even if you've never eaten pork, you've still seen a pig walk, right?" No, in this day and age, that saying should be reversed, "Even if you've never seen a pig walk, you've still eaten pork, right?"
"This has nothing to do with whether I've ever been in a relationship or not!"
"Alas..."
Lin Qingzhu pouted and muttered, "Do you think reality is a novel?! You're trying to apply novel tropes to me!"
"Whether it's reality or fiction, just think for yourself whether what I'm saying makes sense! You know, reality is even less illogical than fiction."
Xu Yingying spoke with conviction.
Lin Qingzhu opened her mouth, then after a long pause, she let out a soft hum and muttered, "Anyway, I can't argue with you, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense anymore!"
After saying that, she turned around and buried her head in the pillow.
However, although she said that, she was actually quite tempted by Xu Yingying's "bad idea". She bit her lip and hesitated whether she should take the initiative as Xu Yingying suggested and really win over Ning Wangshu so that she could keep him!
Seeing Lin Qingzhu burying her head in the sand, Xu Yingying chuckled inwardly again, then continued to launch into a series of persuasive arguments, trying to entice and seduce Lin Qingzhu...
Ning Wangshu was naturally unaware of the conversation between Xu Yingying and Lin Qingzhu, although if he wanted to, it would have been easy for him to overhear their private chatter.
However, that's not very polite...
