Chapter 196: 195. It’s All Lily’s Fault!
It was obvious that Ning Chu’s attitude had improved a lot compared to before.
Previously, she would occasionally appear gloomy, often showing signs of anxiety, and frequently had a furrowed brow.
But today, she was smiling more and full of energy…
Wen Yang had no intention of paying attention in class, his focus entirely on Ning Chu, who was whispering with Yan Xinya.
Clearly, it was her period, yet Ning Chu was in exceptionally high spirits today, completely unaffected by “Aunt Flo,” her face always wore a faint smile, making one wonder if she had won the lottery.
“Wen Yang.”
“Hmm?”
Ning Chu leaned toward Wen Yang and tentatively asked, “What would you think if a girl used to be a boy…?”
This question seemed a bit outlandish to Wen Yang.
He was slightly puzzled, hesitatingly answering, “Well, I’d just treat her like a friend?”
“Um… But what if you liked that girl? I’m just curious.”
Wen Yang instinctively glanced at Ning Chu but quickly dismissed any strange thoughts after recalling her succubus identity: “Did you read something weird online?”
After a moment of thought, he replied seriously, “I might find it a bit hard to accept, depending on how much I like her.”
“Oh~”
He wanted to take the chance to flirt with, “I only like you” or something like that but saw Zhang Shaoqing looking curious and swallowed the words back down.
Ning Chu also noticed Zhang Shaoqing’s gaze, so she sat up straight, pretending to attentively listen to the lecturer while her mind was racing with disorganized thoughts.
Maybe there was no need to tell Wen Yang about it?
After all, Wen Yang always saw her as a girl, unlike family who knew about her previous gender.
What’s wrong with a girl having her little secrets!
But saying this would mean she couldn’t bring Wen Yang back home; what if her family couldn’t accept her current gender? She wouldn’t have any support at all.
The joy from the call with her family last night faded a little.
But it wasn’t a big deal; at least here, her mother was healthy, and her brother had a successful career, which was enough.
Even if they couldn’t accept her, just being able to see them would do.
The class bell rang.
Ning Chu stretched lazily and walked out of the classroom with her dorm mates.
It seems like the bad girls have been MIA lately~
Have all the active girls in school gone missing? Or perhaps they were all too intimidated to make a move because she was around?
This made her feel carefree, saving her from having to deal with them every day.
“Xinya, let’s go to the bathroom together.”
“Okay~”
Zhang Shaoqing looked up when he heard their conversation and saw Ning Chu, Yan Xinya, and Lily heading towards the bathroom.
He glanced at Wen Yang, who was waiting at a distance, muttering, “What kind of guy goes to the bathroom with girls…? Are they going to start a bathroom sisters club or something?”
“They’re probably just close friends?” Wang Jie explained from the side. “Maybe that’s what a male best friend is?”
Realistically, considering Ning Chu’s innocent and beautiful face, it’s hard to believe she has any intimacy with any girl unless that girl was into girls.
But if it was with a guy, it wouldn’t seem odd at all.
Zhang Shaoqing ignored Wang Jie; that nerd didn’t understand anything.
“Shao Qing, what are you getting Ning Chu for her birthday?” Wang Jie asked him.
“I’m treating her to a meal; I’ll cover everything for her birthday dinner.”
“Being rich is nice~”
“Well, I haven’t skimped on you guys for late-night snacks either.”
“What about you, Wen Yang?”
Wen Yang shook his head blankly, meeting Wang Jie’s gaze.
“I’ll just get her a skin! They’re only a few bucks.”
“……”
While Wang Jie could dismiss it with a game skin, and Zhang Shaoqing could throw in cash, Wen Yang had neither option.
First, he had no money; secondly, if he was too casual about it, Ning Chu would likely get mad.
Wen Yang thought about consulting Yan Xinya or Lily since they were girls and might have similar preferences.
“What do you think I should get Ning Chu as a gift?”
Inside the bathroom, Yan Xinya was leaning against the sink, holding her phone.
She glanced at the message she received and stood up, looking back into the stall: “Ning Chu, what do you want for your birthday?”
“I don’t really want anything…”
“Um, Lily? What do you think?”
She then turned to Lily, who was standing aside.
The succubus thought for a moment before quietly replying, “Toys?”
“Girl already has a boyfriend, okay? Why would she need toys like you do?”
“……”
“Stop spreading rumors! How did I end up with a boyfriend?”
Ning Chu had just finished changing her sanitary pad and walked out, overhearing their conversation.
Wen Yang hadn’t confessed to her yet. Was it still the ambiguous phase?
“Oh~ I understand! So you do need it, right?” Yan Xinya nodded and began typing on her phone, “Ning Chu wants little toys to solve her physiological problems~”
“That’s ridiculous!”
Ning Chu rushed out to snatch the phone from the wolf girl.
“I didn’t even send it~”
She glared at Yan Xinya in anger, but then looked down at the phone screen and realized that during the tussle, she had accidentally hit the send button…
Quickly hitting recall, her face flushed red, praying Wen Yang hadn’t seen it.
Ning Chu shot Yan Xinya an angry look, but the wolf girl feigned innocence: “You were the one who sent it!”
“You definitely deserve a beating!”
Seeing her roll up her sleeves as if ready to fight, the wolf girl dropped her phone and darted out.
After only a few steps, Ning Chu spotted Wen Yang, who looked confused yet excited… clearly he had seen something before she recalled the message.
Her feet froze, and she felt so embarrassed she didn’t know how to face Wen Yang.
That guy was a little too excited!
He wouldn’t misinterpret that as me having some sort of hobby in using toys because of Lily, right…
Though she had indeed found it a bit exciting in the girls’ dorm when that happened.
Ning Chu hung her head, hiding her flushed face in the shadow, handed the wolf girl’s phone to Lily, who came out of the bathroom, and turned to walk away from the teaching building.
However, she hadn’t gotten very far when Wen Yang caught up from behind.
Noting Ning Chu’s embarrassed face, he asked with a grin, “That was a message from Lily, right?”
“Yes! It’s her fault!”
“Seems like that succubus is always thinking about gh…!” Ning Chu angrily accused Lily, “I see Xinya getting corrupted by her sooner or later!”
If only they could get Ning Chu corrupted too.
Wen Yang nodded with a smile, secretly looking forward to the day Ning Chu fully transformed into a pure love succubus.
Right now, though, she was still too shy about it.
Suddenly, Ning Chu stopped in her tracks, looking at a beautiful girl walking towards them, instinctively edging closer to Wen Yang: “You improvise.”
She was already scanning the vicinity for the nearest bathroom.
“Ah?”
That girl was clearly on a different level than most girls! Plus, with her pale skin and sharp ears, she was a rare vampire!
