Chapter 540. The Meeting of the Succubus’s Shame
In May, Ning Chu and Wen Yang returned to the school gate.
Since they left last summer break, they hadn’t come back at all. Whenever there was something happening at school, they’d just ask their friends still in school to help out.
It was just around the time classes let out in the evening, and students streamed out in groups of threes and fives, merrily laughing, brimming with youth and vitality, with no trace of worry or gloom in their smiles.
“I really want to go back to studying~ Working is so boring.”
Ning Chu squatted on the curb, distracted by the dazzling display of passing legs and the colorful tails swaying: “Our school definitely has more handsome guys and pretty girls than any art and film school~”
Maybe it was due to the influence of the Royal Stage, but this university had more good-looking people than anywhere else.
She looked up at Wen Yang standing beside her and rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction: “Where’s your student ID? Where on earth did you lose it?”
Wen Yang rummaged through his backpack, which was stuffed with miscellaneous items and a few sets of clothes for the two of them, with the student ID mixed in.
“Found it.”
After an arduous search, he finally retrieved the student ID from the deepest part of the bag and opened it: “Isn’t this your old photo?”
“Old photo?”
Ning Chu propped herself up on her knees and leaned in closer to have a look. The ID photo showed her with a short boyish haircut.
A sudden wave of embarrassment washed over her, as if a dark history had been uncovered, leaving her cheeks burning.
She snatched the student ID away: “What the hell! No peeking!”
“It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.” Wen Yang chuckled, “Your features are still somewhat recognizable; you looked quite innocent back then.”
“Am I not innocent now?”
Ning Chu shot him an incredulous look, although the spring-like spark in her peach blossom eyes was undeniable, as if they could lure people in.
“Innocent!”
Wen Yang nodded without hesitation, but he had no idea how this succubus managed to respond with such bold defiance…
The girl in front of him oozed charm from head to toe. Last night, she had rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue, her face flushed as she fell asleep, perfectly safe during her cycle. When she woke up this morning, she was still feeling the aftereffects, her lower abdomen slightly swollen.
Only that innocent-looking baby face barely connected her to the word ‘innocent.’
As they walked toward the school gate, Ning Chu glanced at the security guard stationed at the entrance, her eyes shifting nervously to the ground.
What if they stopped her?
The image on that photo was a far cry from who she was now.
Her student card had been what she used to get in and out of school, but she had no idea where that card was now.
Fortunately, the guard merely glanced at the student ID and waved her in.
“I thought I was going to get stopped…” Ning Chu sighed with relief, then looked at her past self in the ID, muttering, “This strange sense of guilt.”
“What’s wrong?”
“When I took this photo, I was determined to marry a catgirl.”
Back then, she was obsessed with becoming a man, wanting to rebel against the fate of being the male lead’s side character. She believed that even if she became a girl, she’d choose to be a lesbian, refusing to bend to the male lead.
But now, she found herself pleading under Wen Yang, having transformed into the male lead’s character over the years.
“It’s all marriage anyway, marrying and being married isn’t that different, right?”
“That’s a huge difference! Back then, I was a guy, not the one pinned under…”
“Well then, how about tonight you’re on top?”
Wen Yang asked with great anticipation.
Ning Chu froze for a moment, her face quickly turning a deep shade of red. Feeling guilty, she glanced around, then slightly nodded.
“Let’s head to the girls’ dorm first and see if Lily is back yet.”
She lowered her head to hide her flushed cheeks and awkwardly changed the subject: “You go find Wang Jie first, right? You’ll get swarmed if you head to the girls’ dorm.”
“Sure, then I’ll hit the convenience store.”
“Ah?”
“Wang Jie asked me to bring him drinks before.”
“Too lazy for your own good…”
Ning Chu leaned into Wen Yang, opened the small bag slung over his shoulder, and pulled out her phone.
“Off you go? Contact me if you need anything.”
“You could just take the bag with you…”
“Carrying the bag is such a hassle~”
Wen Yang nodded helplessly; he was already used to being a human storage rack whenever they were out.
This past year, nothing much changed in school; it was just that as they walked around, looking up, all they saw were unfamiliar faces, making it hard to spot anyone familiar.
Outside the girls’ dorm building, Ning Chu took a breath, used her phone to snap a selfie, and fiddled with her somewhat messy bangs, adjusting her outfit.
She’d specifically worn high heels today and put on light makeup; she was determined to be more beautiful than Lily and even taller than her~
Only then did she head inside, walking confidently to Lily’s dorm room.
“Is anyone home?”
She knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response.
“Where is everyone? Didn’t they say they’d be back today?”
Ning Chu muttered in confusion and was about to leave when a delicate figure suddenly pressed against her from behind and wrapped her arms around her waist.
Startled, she was about to struggle when a heart-shaped tail emerged from behind and affectionately poked her cheek.
“Lily?”
“Uh-huh!”
“Why are you walking like a cat?”
Lily released her grip, and Ning Chu finally turned around to face her long-lost friend.
This succubus of shame stood there looking almost unchanged from a year ago, except now she was in graduate school, exuding an even quieter, intellectual vibe. She still loved to wear white dresses, though the tail that had just teased Ning Chu was now tucked away under her skirt.
Her eyes were slightly red-rimmed, showing a mix of joy and grievance, like a wife who hadn’t seen her husband for ages: “You never hung out with me.”
“I’ve been busy with work… and got only seven days off for the New Year.”
Ning Chu proudly straightened her back: “See, I’m quite a bit taller than you now~ I’ve gotten used to wearing high heels!”
“Not much difference.”
“Well, don’t stand on your tiptoes~”
After the initial excitement of meeting wore off, Lily returned to her cool demeanor, though there was still a hint of blush on her cheeks. She took a seat across from Ning Chu, dug into her bag for her makeup, and skillfully touched up her face.
“All used up.”
Ning Chu tilted her head back slightly, closing her eyes: “I put on makeup this morning when I left, and I don’t have a habit of carrying makeup.”
“Did you find a boyfriend again? I heard you got one at the beginning of the year but broke up in just a couple of days.”
“Nope.”
“Why did you break up? Was that guy… lacking?”
With familiar ease between them, Lily, though still quiet, spoke with a freedom comparable to her online self: “I peeked at him using the bathroom once, and it was tiny, not even as good as a toy.”
As fellow succubi, Ning Chu guessed the answer without needing to ask: “And you didn’t find that out in bed?”
“I’m not that easy; I save it for my husband first.”
“You’re still a virgin?!”
She was so shocked that she almost jumped up, causing Lily to nearly drop her makeup pencil, looking bewildered at her.
“The shame of being a succubus!”
Where had all those years of playthings gone?
