Chapter 465. Movie
After getting her nails done, Ning Chu’s mood visibly lifted.
The tips of her skirt swayed joyfully, her steps felt lighter, and her brows curved sweetly with a sparkle in her eyes.
She constantly ran her thumb over her nails, enjoying the smooth, round feel, and glanced down at the beautiful glossy crimson. When holding Wen Yang’s hand, she even playfully brushed her fingers against his palm.
“Stop it, it tickles.”
“Look at my nails~”
“They’re pretty, pretty.”
“Right~ I told you this color is nice!”
Even when she used to be a man, Ning Chu had no resistance to pretty and cute things. Back then, she never dared to express it due to the image of masculinity, but now, she was a proper girl.
Though, a not-so-proper little demoness…
Now she could dress however she wanted—pretty, sexy, or flashy styles—thanks to her current figure and looks. As long as it didn’t stray too far from the norms of aesthetics, she could wear anything.
Men had pretty clothes too, but they obviously weren’t mainstream. Even wearing pink could draw strange looks from others.
But now, everyone would only gaze at her with admiration and envy.
As she grew accustomed to life as a beautiful girl, Ning Chu could only think one thing: if only she didn’t have to get pregnant and have children~
She heard it was painful, and ten months of pregnancy could ruin one’s figure.
Besides, thinking back to her past as a man, she felt even more averse to pregnancy.
That would be the end of femininity, for sure! Never happening to her!
But after a scare, Ning Chu now took precautions more seriously. Last night, even at the hotel without Wen Yang’s suitable protection, she promptly took the morning-after pill.
Well, from now on, she’d need to carry Wen Yang’s gear in her little bag.
“Wen Yang, if I don’t want to have kids in the future…” After a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts, Ning Chu eagerly sought Wen Yang’s opinion.
Wen Yang nodded nonchalantly, “Then don’t.”
He had no interest in continuing the family line; who knows how long it had been since he visited his dead parents.
“Yeah!”
Ning Chu nodded vigorously.
Consensus achieved! No kids in the future!
“I hate kids! They’re all annoying as hell!” She furrowed her brows, looking very unwilling. “What if he turns out to be just like me? I’ll be driven crazy!”
“Don’t say that; Auntie wasn’t driven crazy by you, right?”
“That’s because my mom was always out working~”
Wen Yang nodded with a smile, “Sure, don’t have kids.”
“Exactly! Kids are such a hassle! Even Hei Dou, who’s so well-behaved, drives my mom mad! She calls me to complain all the time~”
Ning Chu never liked kids, except for Hei Dou, who was cute with cat ears and a tail and behaved well enough not to annoy her too much.
Aside from Hei Dou, she despised all other little brats!
While walking, Ning Chu’s attention was quickly drawn to a clothing store by the roadside, her big eyes sparkling as she searched for beautiful and nice clothes in the window.
“I don’t think I have many summer outfits.”
Ning Chu only had a few summer clothes. Wen Yang had gifted her a JK uniform, and when she returned home as a girl, her mother had bought her two sets, but that was it.
“Go ahead and buy if you want; I think that set looks nice.”
“A spaghetti strap skirt~ Isn’t it revealing too much?”
“Is it?”
She imagined wearing the spaghetti strap skirt and unintentionally exposing the Northern Hemisphere, and her delicate face turned red.
Although clothing in this parallel world was more open and bold, she still hadn’t adapted to that environment, even now as a demoness.
It’s as if, despite couples being all over the school grounds, she was not planning to “when in Rome” it.
“Then wear it at home for me to see?” Wen Yang leaned down, teasingly whispering in Little Demoness’s ear.
“That’s even less than wearing a costume~”
Ning Chu mumbled softly, pulling Wen Yang toward the mall. “Let’s watch a movie; summer’s still a ways off, no need to hurry to buy clothes.”
“Sure, what movie do you want to see?”
“I’ve already picked! A horror film!”
“???”
Wen Yang’s mouth twitched, and question marks popped up over his head. “You aren’t even interested in horror movies, are you?”
After several experiments, he’d long discovered Ning Chu had much more guts when it came to this; be it horror films or scary games, she remained unfazed.
“The internet says it’s super scary! Come watch with me~ It’ll be thrilling~”
“I believe the thrilling part,” he sighed dramatically, “I’ll risk my life to accompany you.”
“Try not to look so miserable~” Ning Chu giggled, poking his cheek. “Big man! What are you scared of!”
“……”
In the end, Wen Yang still accompanied Ning Chu into the horror movie theater.
The horror film, despite great reviews online, had a pitifully low number of showings. Only seven or eight people were in the theater, and Ning Chu and Wen Yang sat toward the back, free from interruption.
This allowed Ning Chu to freely let her tail out from under her skirt, her feet comfortably resting on Wen Yang’s lap as she half-lay back, hugging a bucket of popcorn.
As the movie began, eerie background music surrounded them, and Wen Yang’s expression grew tense. He glanced at Ning Chu, who was munching her popcorn like a hamster, cheeks stuffed full.
He couldn’t comprehend why this girl enjoyed horror movies.
The movie started with a jump scare, jolting everyone in their seats, immediately immersing them in the movie’s atmosphere.
Ning Chu perked up, straightening her posture and intently watching the big screen. Moments later, as the plot thickened and the horror atmosphere escalated, her body unconsciously leaned in, instinctively clutching Wen Yang’s arm, her shoulders trembling gently.
“What’s wrong?”
“So scary…”
“……”
Wen Yang’s face paled; even though he couldn’t bear to watch the screen, feeling the soft body trembling in his embrace inexplicably filled him with newfound courage as he soothingly said, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
At that moment, he felt like Ning Chu’s savior!
“Mm~”
Ning Chu buried her head in Wen Yang’s chest, getting gently petted on the back of her head, only shaking more violently.
“Ah!!!”
Wen Yang winced at the sudden scream, painfully ringing in his ears.
If nothing unexpected happened, it had been the girl in the front row who screamed first, then Ning Chu followed with a delayed reaction.
He was also startled but pretended to be calm, tightening his embrace around Ning Chu.
Silly girl took a second longer to react to being scared…
Ning Chu began to understand why girls were such scaredy-cats.
Especially when a man was around.
She chuckled inwardly but maintained a façade of playful tension, stealing glances at the screen, only to dive into Wen Yang’s arms, enjoying his reassurance.
By the end of the movie, Wen Yang’s ears were nearly deafened.
