Chapter 397. Morning
“Get up.”
“You’re going to be late for class.”
Early in the morning, while it was still dim, Wen Yang stood by the bed, yawning and urging.
“The sun’s already shining on your backside.” He raised his hand and playfully slapped the little demoness’s perky butt.
However, Ning Chu, still deep in sleep, only let out a muffled grunt from her nose, twisting her waist to find a more comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Wen Yang was about to throw the blanket off her when he spotted the pink heart-shaped tail peeking out from under the covers, a mischievous smile creeping onto his face.
He reached out and grabbed the tail, gently stroking the tip of the heart-shaped end with his fingers, teasingly saying, “Hurry up, or I’ll yank your tail.”
“Uh~”
The sensitive tail caught in his grasp jolted Ning Chu awake, a tingle rippling from her tailbone that made her let out a seductive light moan.
After a moment, her long fan-like eyelashes fluttered open, her peach blossom eyes glistening with innocent wateriness as she looked up at Wen Yang without saying a word.
Wen Yang’s heart melted, quickly releasing her tail: “Time for breakfast, get washed up, and we’re heading out.”
“Oh~” The little demoness’s tone was filled with disappointment.
“Don’t mess around!”
He smacked her again, this time on her butt through the blanket, but it only made it stick up higher.
“……”
Ning Chu quickly realized she was being suggestive, her face reddening even more. Flustered, she straightened herself and avoided Wen Yang’s somewhat peculiar gaze, muttering, “Who told you to yank my tail…”
Sure enough, Aunt Flo is the nemesis of love-struck couples!
She stretched her arm out from under the blanket but shivered from the cold. Wen Yang tossed her a set of home clothes, and she immediately grabbed them, slipping them on hurriedly.
“What classes do we have today?”
“Two major classes in the morning and one English class in the afternoon.”
“Another English class~” Ning Chu sighed in despair, “Good thing I barely scraped by with a sixty on the finals, or I’d have to retake it in two weeks.”
At the end of last semester, the original English teacher had gone on maternity leave, and they replaced her with the apprentice cat girl, Qian Qian.
Clearly, Qian Qian had given Ning Chu extra help, or she’d have probably failed for sure.
Dressed, Ning Chu finally broke free from the blanket’s hold, quickly hopping out of bed and rushing to the bathroom to wash up.
Hmm, after a night, Aunt Flo’s flow is still pitifully low~
It used to be a lot more.
Is it really hormonal imbalance?
She checked her sanitary pad and, after some thought, decided to switch to a thicker pad.
Otherwise, a minimally absorbent pad would hurt.
“Ning Chu, hurry up!”
“I know! How long until the next bus arrives?”
“Five minutes.”
“I can make it!”
Ning Chu hurriedly stood up, flusteringly putting on her pants and taking a glance at her reflection in the mirror, trying to smooth her messy hair with wet fingers.
Didn’t succeed…
But she didn’t have time to keep fussing over her looks; she pushed open the bathroom door, ran to the closet, grabbed an outfit, and dove back in.
In just two minutes, she had finished washing up and dressed, ready to head out.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Wen Yang handed her breakfast from the coffee table: “I got you breakfast.”
“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”
Ning Chu stuffed the breakfast into her bag, urgently opening the door and stepping outside; the lingering drowsiness was instantly blown away by the cold air in the hallway, waking her up considerably.
“I called you; you didn’t get up.”
“Of course, you didn’t call loudly enough!”
She glanced at the time and urged, “Hurry up! The bus is arriving!”
Wen Yang swiftly closed the door, and together they dashed toward the bus stop.
It was only the second day of school; she hadn’t yet figured out her teachers’ temperaments, and she couldn’t afford to be late.
What if someone was strict and just punished her for one tardy…
Plus, Wen Yang didn’t have his class monitor status anymore, so he couldn’t easily find an excuse to skip class like before.
Ning Chu definitely didn’t want her boyfriend associating with that female lewd character.
They flew out of the village, spotting the bus waiting at the stop.
Wen Yang instinctively began sprinting, quickly pulling ahead of Ning Chu, which made her excited, and she scurried after him with her little legs: “Wen Yang! Slow down! My legs are short!”
Panting, she watched the bus close its doors and slowly start to leave, forcing her to stop, bent over, hands on her knees, gasping for breath.
Thick white mist billowed out of her mouth; she hadn’t exercised in a while, and after running hundreds of meters, she was completely out of breath.
Wen Yang strolled back to her side: “If it weren’t for your short legs, we would’ve made it.”
“I just got spoiled during the winter break at home, my legs aren’t short!” Ning Chu shot him a glare, “When’s the next bus?”
“About fifteen minutes.”
Fifteen minutes waiting for the bus plus a half-hour journey guaranteed they would be late.
Ning Chu glanced around and spotted a shared electric bike by the roadside.
“Let’s go! Ride it! You’re giving me a lift!”
Strictly speaking, shared electric bikes aren’t meant for two.
However, the road to school was clear and mostly devoid of vehicles in the morning, and there was no chance of police around.
Scanning the QR code to get on, Ning Chu wrapped her arms tightly around Wen Yang’s waist, a bit worried: “Can you drive?”
“Of course.”
“Let’s hope we don’t crash and end up as road kill.”
“What, you can’t even ride an electric bike?”
“……”
She paused, organizing her rebuttal: “It’s not that, I could before; I’ve just gotten rusty from not riding for too long.”
“Faster! Stop whining! We’re really going to be late!” she quickly changed the subject, urging him, “Drive steadily! I’m scared!”
Hugging Wen Yang’s waist, Ning Chu pressed her body against his back, but wearing thick outerwear, she had no indecent thoughts crossing her mind.
Cold wind whipped past her ears, and she pressed her face against Wen Yang’s back, most of the cold air blocked by him, so she didn’t feel too chilly.
Wen Yang was always like a shelter, shielding her from the wind and rain.
When she first crossed over to this world, Wen Yang would care for her, sometimes unintentionally. When she had turned into a girl, it was Wen Yang who kicked down the bathroom door and took her unconscious self to the hospital. Whenever she was lost and confused, Wen Yang was always there for her… gradually making her, who considered herself pretty independent, develop a bit of dependency.
Except at night; he could be a bit rough! If it weren’t for her being a demoness, she wouldn’t be able to handle it!
Ning Chu squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth radiating from Wen Yang’s body, her gaze drifting to the scenery flashing by along the roadside.
“Ning Chu.”
“Hmm?”
She vaguely heard Wen Yang calling her over the wind.
“What do you want to eat for lunch today?”
“Are you a pig? Thinking about lunch right after getting up?” She stuffed her hands into Wen Yang’s coat for warmth, mumbling, “I’ve been craving something sour lately… like sweet and sour pork.”
“Got it.”
