Chapter 400. Going to Grow Horns!
Mr. Lu Xun once said: If everyone insists on not allowing a skylight, then if you propose to tear down the roof, they might just be willing to open a skylight.
Ning Chu’s mindset is somewhat similar right now.
If she were to grow horns directly, she definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it, but if it’s about getting pregnant and having a baby… then horns might be the better option.
She carefully touched her head with both hands, trying to find the protruding horns.
Hmm, nothing there…
Actually, Grandma’s horns are quite cute; the only thing Ning Chu can’t accept is that if she grows horns, she’ll be completely unrecognizable as a human.
A tail could at least be hidden, but horns are impossible to conceal.
The whole school would know she was a horned demon, and if she accidentally revealed any flaws, then her identity as a Succubus would be exposed.
With the stereotypical impression that most people have of Succubi, she’d end up becoming the social butterfly everyone talks about.
Only someone like Lily, who always maintains an icy, expressionless face in public, could change everyone’s stereotype.
Thinking about this, Ning Chu’s feelings became all the more complicated.
Should she be happy that she’s not pregnant, not yet completely descending into despair, or should she be sad about the future where she would grow a pair of steering wheels?
Sitting on the bus home, Ning Chu sighed heavily, resting her head on Wen Yang’s shoulder, murmuring softly, “I wonder if being ground into powder would be useful in medicine.”
Maybe this world’s Wei Ge really does have Succubi horn traits.
She looked up at Wen Yang, only to see a flash of uncontainable joy cross his face before he bowed his head sadly, gently patting her head and reassuring her, “It’s okay, what’s done is done; let’s think about the future instead.”
“You’re clearly very happy.”
“How could I be? Seeing you upset makes me want to cry.”
Seeing Wen Yang’s mock sorrowful expression made Ning Chu laugh, brightening her mood a bit.
She turned her head away to hide her smile, her tone indignantly insisting, “You’re definitely just thinking about the steering wheels!”
“What steering wheels? I don’t have that XP.”
“Tsk!”
As the male protagonist, Wen Yang’s XP could literally be described as all-encompassing.
Since he’s a character created by Ning Chu, their XP should theoretically align.
…
The problem is, Ning Chu doesn’t want to train herself to be like her character! Wouldn’t that be weird when looking in the mirror?
“Arrived.”
“Okay.”
Guessing it was around 3:30 when they left school, they underwent a medical check-up, and now it was already a bit past 6 PM.
Snack stalls began to pop up at the village entrance, and students living in the village were returning one after another, bringing some liveliness to the usually quiet small village.
Smelling the savory scents wafting from the street food stalls, Ning Chu momentarily pushed her worries aside and dragged Wen Yang in front of a stinky tofu stall.
“Boss, one order, slightly spicy.”
“Got it!”
She looked up at Wen Yang beside her and gestured on her head.
“What’s up?”
“If I grow horns, wouldn’t I be indirectly growing taller?”
This thought suddenly made her quite happy.
Wen Yang nodded with a smile: “Right, you’ll be a whole horn taller than Lily.”
“A whole horn taller? That’s so weird…”
Her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated; Ning Chu had no time to continue her complaints and pulled it out to answer.
It was Yan Xinya calling: “Ning Chu! How did the check-up go? Are you really pregnant?”
“No.”
“Good! You scared me! I just asked An An; the counselor said if you’re unmarried, you’d have to have a baby, or the school might expel you!”
“So what about you? Why is your period late for so long? Did you catch some illness?”
Isn’t hormonal imbalance not exactly an illness?
Ning Chu didn’t hide it, replying: “The doctor said it’s hormonal imbalance.”
On the other end, Lily’s voice chimed in: “Is she staying up late every day with Wen Yang? Wen Yang is amazing~”
Where’s the staying up late! It’s only a bit of late nights!
Wen Yang is my male protagonist! Can’t he be amazing?
“Oh, then you should take care of yourself~”
“Hmm… it’s not really about the late nights, the doctor said I’m about to grow horns.”
“Eh! Steering wheels! Lily, why don’t you have any? When will you grow one!”
“……”
Yan Xinya then asked Ning Chu: “So won’t you poke holes in your pillow while sleeping?”
“？？？”
“When you’re snuggling against Wen Yang’s chest, will you accidentally poke him?”
Ning Chu recalled her Grandma’s curved horns, her head instinctively tilting slightly.
How would I know! Better to ask Grandma!
“I don’t know… I guess we’ll see when the time comes?”
“Well, as long as you’re not pregnant, then Lily and I will go eat. Bye-bye~”
“Okay, bye-bye~”
After hanging up the call, Ning Chu’s stinky tofu was ready. She scanned to pay but couldn’t help but steal glances at Wen Yang’s chest.
If she accidentally poked two bloody holes in his chest…
That wouldn’t happen, right?
And if she grows horns, her head would certainly feel heavier than now; she wondered if her neck could hold it up.
Carrying a C cup weight is already uncomfortable enough…
“What else do you want to buy?” Wen Yang couldn’t guess what was on Ning Chu’s mind; he thought she just wanted to buy more food.
“Nothing, let’s go back.”
She shook her head, nervously reaching up to touch her head.
Previously, whether it was about growing silver stripes or a tail, it had only happened after she broke the plot. But this time she didn’t break the plot, and yet she was going to start growing horns.
“Wen Yang, what if I look ugly after I grow horns?”
Wen Yang almost instantly shook his head: “Ugly or not, I don’t mind.”
“I do mind!”
“Then let’s check if there’s a cosmetic surgery clinic that offers that service? I’ll save money for you.”
“？？？”
That’s truly an unprecedented way of thinking~
Upon entering the rental building, in the corridor, Ning Chu spoke with a hint of worry: “What if I end up growing wings later?”
“Wouldn’t that make you less like a person?” she murmured, “It wasn’t like this before.”
Wen Yang gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders: “It’s okay.”
She instinctively wanted to retort but then heard Wen Yang’s soft voice: “Haven’t I always been here?”
The words of rebuttal got stuck in her throat, Ning Chu lowered her gaze, mumbling, “What if you leave one day? Just like my dad.”
Today’s emotions were like a roller coaster, up and down, making her seem gloomier than usual.
“I’m your male protagonist; where else would I run off to?”
“I…” Ning Chu lifted her head, only to see her own reflection in Wen Yang’s eyes.
“Isn’t your novel stuck in writer’s block? Now you have something to write about.”
“Right!” Her eyes lit up, and her steps quickened a lot towards their rental, “I’m so excited! I have new material to write about!”
