Chapter 126: Hammer Time
Today’s lunch for Wen Yang was clearly more lavish than usual.
Two meat dishes, one veggie, plus a braised chicken leg!
After all, being close to six feet three inches tall, he usually lived on a tight diet. If it weren’t for Ning Chu’s regular support, he might be facing malnutrition by now.
To avoid any awkwardness between Wen Yang and Lily, the two packed their cafeteria food and took it back to the dorm. Ning Chu casually opened a video while eating, but her face was laced with a hint of gloom.
While writing her novel, she was so engrossed that she hadn’t realized how poorly Lily was faring in reality.
The problem was, she had no idea the Small Royal Text would become real!
What a disaster for both her and Lily!
After lunch, Ning Chu felt sleepy and yawned as she climbed into bed, reminding her roommates, “I’m taking a nap; keep it down.”
Zhang Shaoqing waved his hand back, Wang Jie put on his headphones, and Wen Yang got into bed, ready to rest.
At some point, Ning Chu and Wen Yang’s living habits had synced, and the habit of napping came from Wen Yang.
However, today, Ning Chu hugged her pillow and changed direction, softly calling Wen Yang, “Come here, come here.”
“What’s up?”
Wen Yang turned to see Ning Chu lying flat on the bed, her head poking up as she curiously watched him.
Ning Chu glanced at the two guys on the bed below, leaned closer to Wen Yang, and whispered, “Do you like Lily?”
Wen Yang, who was just enjoying the warmth and scent of her presence, shivered at her question and quickly denied it, “No way! I’m totally not interested in her!”
“But you always sneak a peek at her in class?”
Why did it feel like he was caught by his girlfriend looking at a pretty girl?
Not that they were even a couple.
Wen Yang couldn’t contain his fluster, fearing Ning Chu would misunderstand: “I really don’t! I’m just a bit curious.”
He reiterated, “Just curious! I hardly interact with succubi.”
Of course…
Ning Chu’s heart sank.
The plot had already taken its course; who knew what Wen Yang might do next under his curiosity with Lily?
Better tackle Wen Yang’s curiosity first.
“Oh? Curious about what?” she smiled, “You can ask me; I know her pretty well.”
Just a weekend apart, and suddenly they were chummy? Didn’t she feel like a rival when they met at the library?
Wen Yang truly didn’t understand and felt that his curiosity was perhaps inappropriate to mention to Ning Chu.
“Hurry up.”
Under Ning Chu’s urging, he reluctantly voiced his confusion, “It’s nothing much, just that Lily often seems really aloof, but online, she…”
Seeing Ning Chu’s face heating up, he paused, “It’s quite the contrast. Can you blame me for being curious?”
“Because she’s a succubus!”
“But why does succubi have such a bad reputation? I thought Lily was an exception, but it looks like she’s the same?”
“……”
Ning Chu sighed, feeling a bit conflicted. After some thought, she decided to lay all her cards on the table regarding her ghastly writing process.
“Succubi…” This topic was quite embarrassing; she buried half her face in her pillow, revealing only her bright eyes. “Succubi have irregular heat cycles that flare up now and then, and they usually need to find a man to resolve them.”
Wen Yang had never heard such a thing before and stared at her in shock.
“So, I’ve heard they have… down there?”
“Yup, all mature ones do, it’s a sign of development.” Ning Chu recalled her own partial markings and couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
“Lily is already quite powerful, you know? She can hold back in public but still has to retreat to handle things herself…” Her face was now thoroughly flushed. “And she hates men, so don’t think about trying anything with her!”
On the surface, they were discussing Lily, but Ning Chu felt like she was inadvertently talking about herself.
If Wen Yang figured out she was a succubus too, wouldn’t that be her self-sabotage?
“I’m not some scumbag.” Wen Yang couldn’t understand why Ning Chu thought he had a thing for every girl he met. Instead, he curiously asked, “Is it true succubi are super sensitive?”
“Uh… yeah.”
Wen Yang nodded, suddenly recalling that weekend when Ning Chu couldn’t even walk straight, her legs clamped together, collapsing after he bumped into her.
Even though they both tacitly avoided discussing that event, it was clear Ning Chu had been in heat.
Ever since that day, Ning Chu was suddenly acquainted with Lily and even chatted with her online about private topics.
Could it be that Ning Chu was also a succubus?!
But succubi typically had curves that drew attention, and then there was Ning Chu, looking more like a washboard.
He doubted he was overthinking it and glanced at Ning Chu, only to see her flushed like a peach, her eyes glazed over.
“……”
Is this what ‘hammer time’ means?
“I’m going to sleep now.”
Ning Chu didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.
Happy that she deftly resolved the issue with Lily’s plot, yet sad that once again, trouble brewed in the dorm.
Fortunately, she was on her bed this time; the unfortunate part was that Wen Yang caught her in the act.
With that shocked look on Wen Yang’s face, it was clear he had noticed something unusual…
In moments like this, she truly felt the strength of Lily. Despite her body’s turmoil being so hard to endure, Lily could still maintain her cool, while all she could do was bury herself like an ostrich.
She rolled over, facing the wall with her legs clutching the blanket tightly.
Sleep! Sleep!
Don’t overthink! Be like Lily!
Suddenly, she felt a tremor in her foot that sent a jolt of electric bliss through her body, making her toes curl and her body tense up.
But the next moment, Ning Chu looked up in a panic, only to find Wen Yang awkwardly retracting his hand, giving her an innocent smile.
Hmm, definitely sensitive, and he just poked her foot playfully, yet she reacted so intensely…
Oh man! Why didn’t you test that with Lily instead of poking me?!
Her furious gaze at that moment appeared quite coy, as if welcoming yet hesitant.
Wait! According to Lily’s plot, what’s next? Will Wen Yang get bolder?!
“You two still awake?”
Wang Jie’s voice startled Ning Chu, causing her to shiver. She quickly tucked all her limbs under the quilt and buried her head, “I’m going to sleep now!”
“Why does your voice sound strange?”
“……”
Ning Chu lay on her bed, feeling utterly defeated. Every time she tried to resist punishment, it left her drained.
Worse still, Wen Yang sent her a text.
“You’re not also a succubus, are you?”
“Absolutely not!”
If this becomes a known fact, Wen Yang could manipulate her without any restraint!
