Chapter 201 – Before Leaving
Officially became a couple with Wen Yang.
It seemed like a lot had changed, yet nothing had changed at all.
The next day was just like any other: heading to the cafeteria together for meals, going to class together, occasionally playing games during breaks, or watching anime and dramas together.
For some reason, the atmosphere when spending time with Wen Yang felt even more immersive, making her want to stick to him 24/7.
And indeed, they were together 24 hours a day~
“Why do you two seem gayer than before?”
Zhang Shaoqing looked at the two, who were occasionally whispering softly, occasionally laughing at each other, and sometimes playfully tussling… it looked just like a pair of lovebirds.
Ning Chu’s feeding of Wen Yang seemed to have taken on a more ambiguous meaning these days.
He rarely came to the cafeteria for a meal, and before he could even take two bites, he felt like he’d already been force-fed dog food.
The problem was, seeing two guys being affectionate, he actually thought it was a match made in heaven—how reasonable!
“Really?” Wang Jie, who was busy eating, raised his head to look at the two sitting opposite him. “Aren’t they always like this?”
“Of course he thinks everyone’s gay. He’s the one who’s overly gay himself.”
Ning Chu shot a glance at Zhang Shaoqing, her tone surprisingly smug.
Zhang Shaoqing scoffed, then looked at the empty seats around him, slightly regretful. “Where are Yan Xinya and Lily? Why aren’t they here for lunch today?”
Because they don’t want to be third wheels!
Do you think everyone is as oblivious as you are?
As usual, Ning Chu only ate until she was about 70% full, pushing the remaining food toward Wen Yang. She felt a bit awkward playing on her phone with her left hand while her right hand sneaked under the table to gently grasp Wen Yang’s pinky.
She glanced at Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie, her cheeks flushed with a hint of pink.
It was a kind of thrill from stealing affection!
No, wait! They are a bona fide couple! Just temporarily hiding it.
Ning Chu teased Wen Yang’s palm with her fingertips, twirling around while sneaking glances at Wen Yang’s slowly reddening face.
She chuckled to herself but suddenly froze.
Wait a minute! I’m a MAN! How did I end up like this?!
Even if I’ve turned into a girl, I should be the dashing type who can take on the world! Not here teasing Wen Yang like a frustrated lover!
She felt her shattered masculine heart…
Maybe it was because Wen Yang accepted her past gender or perhaps after being trampled down too many times, her masculine spirit was utterly defeated, with no reaction left.
Well, no problem then~
Let’s keep going!
“Speaking of which, what time are you leaving tonight?”
Wen Yang held Ning Chu’s right hand, casually asking.
Now it was her turn to feel a bit shy. She nervously glanced at Zhang Shaoqing, afraid of being found out. “The ticket is for eight.”
“Want me to drive you?”
The third wheel suddenly chimed in.
Before Ning Chu could respond, Wen Yang shook his head first. “No need, I have to go out anyway, I’ll drop her off on the way.”
“Then you both can just sit in my car, can’t you?”
Zhang Shaoqing was blissfully unaware of his role as a third wheel.
Wen Yang seemed much more assertive than usual as he still refused. “No need to bother you.”
“Ah~ I can’t fit in anymore. They probably don’t see me as a friend~”
Zhang Shaoqing said with a whiny demeanor, leaning on Wang Jie’s shoulder.
His dramatic act didn’t last long before he stood up and dragged Wang Jie to the convenience store. “Let’s go buy some drinks.”
Ning Chu hurriedly pulled her hand back from Wen Yang’s grasp, fearing being caught on the spot.
“Should I keep you company back home?”
Now that the third wheel had left, Wen Yang asked while eating.
“Uh… let’s skip that.”
Although Ning Chu was quite tempted by the idea, Wen Yang had nowhere to stay.
She couldn’t just bring him home, could she?
When she went home, she would have to let her mother and brother digest her pretty face and succubus identity for a while before introducing a guy… she didn’t even dare to imagine that scenario.
“How do you plan to explain things to your family?”
“I don’t know, let’s take it one step at a time.”
“If something happens, call me, and I’ll come to you as fast as I can.”
“Okay.”
It would take about three hours from the school to Ning Chu’s home, provided everything went smoothly and there was no traffic.
Ning Chu was looking forward to seeing her mother and brother, but she was also prepared to get kicked out…
If she was lucky, her mother was a succubus too and might know she’d eventually turn into a girl. But if she was unlucky, with her mother’s traditional mindset, it wouldn’t be odd for her to reject her.
Only a few hours left until going home…
Ning Chu had mixed emotions, desperately wanting to fly back to see her mother and brother, but anxiously worrying about her gender issues.
Her brain was filled with various possibilities about what would happen when she got home, making her restless.
“It’s okay, I’ll be here.”
“Don’t overthink it; there will be a way when the car gets to the mountain.”
Fortunately, her boyfriend Wen Yang was doing his best to soothe her emotions.
She gently nodded but saw Zhang Shaoqing coming back with drinks.
“Here, I bought you milk tea.” Zhang Shaoqing tossed a bottle of warm Assam milk tea into her arms. “Don’t forget to transfer me the money.”
Ning Chu immediately hid her anxious feelings, taking a sip of the milk tea, and then stood up, saying, “I’m heading back to pack my things, you guys can eat slowly.”
The slower they eat, the better!
“Here’s your key.” Wen Yang pulled out the keys to the dorm and handed them to her.
“Okay!”
Ning Chu hurriedly ran out of the cafeteria.
Her roommates were still eating, so it would at least be ten minutes before they finished!
This was the best opportunity for some alone time!
She needed to quickly release the pent-up restlessness inside her! Otherwise, when facing punishment at home, she might not be able to hold back and lash out on herself.
That would be terrifying!
Seeing her rush off anxiously, Wen Yang suspected something.
Could it be that her succubus tendencies are kicking in again?
He, fearing something might happen to Ning Chu, also set down his chopsticks. “I’m full too, I’m heading back.”
“What’s up with you?” Zhang Shaoqing grumbled, “Running off faster than anyone else.”
While jogging, Ning Chu quickly returned to the dormitory. Time was tight; she didn’t have time to think much and grabbed a change of clothes, then dashed into the bathroom.
Even if her roommates came back early, she could easily cover it up by showering.
Leaning back against the tiled wall with her legs tightly pressed together, she closed her eyes and tried hard to imagine some spicy scenarios as material.
Uh… unknowingly, she always ended up projecting herself as a woman in those spicy material fantasies.
And naturally, Wen Yang became the object of her fantasies, even imagining some intimate scenarios.
Realizing this, Ning Chu’s heart twisted in pain.
I’m falling further…
But it was effective, and her body quickly started heating up.
Then the bathroom door swung open, and Wen Yang, seeing her leaning against the wall with her cheeks flushed, let out a sigh of relief. “You’re in the bathroom; I was wondering where you went.”
“……”
It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her, and Ning Chu immediately snapped back to reality.
I forget to lock the door!
Fantasy is one thing! But if she was actually pinned down, she definitely couldn’t accept that.
That’s the bottom line for a “man!”
After all, no one said that being in love had to come easy!
