Chapter 213: Rooted
It’s been a day and two nights since coming home, but Ning Chu hasn’t noticed anything unusual about her mother.
Recalling Lily’s estimated frequency of about every two days, she can’t help but wonder if older succubi have less frequent urges.
Or perhaps it’s influenced by other factors, like estrogen?
It was only seven in the morning when her mother called her awake.
Dressed in a nightgown, she stretched, yawning and twisting in bed, raising her hands high and closing her eyes for a lazy stretch.
It was her first time wearing a nightgown, and it felt pretty good.
The satin fabric was smooth and soft, with no pants to bind her, like wearing a thin layer of cloth that made sleeping especially comfortable.
But Ning Chu actually preferred going commando…
Now that was true liberation! With skin in direct contact with the blanket, she could feel its softness and slight weight. She strongly recommended everyone to try it. Unfortunately, living in a boys’ dorm and sharing a bed with her mother at home left her with no such opportunity.
She opened her eyes and looked down, only to find her long dress rolled up to her waist due to her restless sleeping position, exposing her white cotton panties.
Luckily, her mother had only woken her up and hadn’t walked in.
Yawning again, as she sat up, she sensed something odd.
Looking down, she touched the back of her bottom and froze.
“Mom…”
“Hm?” Her mother was looking into the makeup mirror, doing her eye makeup.
“I… I have a tail now…”
Her mother paused briefly, turned to face Ning Chu, who looked utterly despondent, and couldn’t help but chuckle, “It’s okay, having a tail is pretty normal. Hurry up and wash up; we need to get ready to go back to the countryside.”
“……”
How can you accept this so quickly?!
As a normal person, having a tail is just too weird!
Besides, right now it looked like a little mouse tail. Who knows when it would turn normal?
“When will you grow a bit bigger? This is too small; your clothes can barely fit…” her mother muttered, continuing her makeup without any regard for her son’s inner feelings.
Ning Chu let out a deep sigh.
How long has it been since I became a daughter~ Now I’m growing a tail again, and you’re not worried about my mental health at all?
Thank goodness her panties were relatively small, so the tail just peeked above them, no need to cut any holes or anything.
But there was no way she could wear pants today.
Fortunately, her mother had bought her a few short skirts yesterday.
Rubbing her aching eyes, Ning Chu got up and went to her wardrobe, picking through a few outfits. Ultimately, she settled on a black short skirt.
She was going back to school today and needed to dress nicely to impress Wen Yang~
She finally understood why some girls take half an hour to choose an outfit to go out. She wasn’t that extreme, but picking from her sparse few clothes still took a few minutes.
“Go wake up your brother.”
Seeing Ning Chu all washed and dressed, her mother instructed again.
“Okay.”
She was now wearing a fitted white long-sleeved top, which highlighted her little curves, paired with a black short skirt and black thigh-high stockings.
No way was she going to cut holes in those tights.
Arriving at Ning Yuan’s room, Ning Chu instinctively pushed the door open.
“Bro! Get up!”
She turned on the light, illuminating the dim room, and glanced at the bed to find Ning Yuan still clinging to his side of the bed.
“Get up!”
Ning Yuan finally stirred, yawning as he stretched, dramatically tossing the covers aside and revealing his boxer shorts-clad body. He rolled over, mumbling, “What time is it?”
“A few minutes past seven, we’re going to the countryside today.”
Ning Chu looked at her brother’s physique with no reaction at all.
Living in a boys’ dorm had made her indifferent to seeing male bodies.
Compared to Wen Yang’s muscular, fit body—one that men would envy and want to touch—Ning Yuan’s skinny frame just didn’t interest her at all.
“Get up already!”
If it were before, Ning Chu would have leaped on him to mess around, but now she just stood at the foot of the bed, repeatedly urging him.
This time her urging finally worked; Ning Yuan sat up like a zombie, covering his forehead, squinting at Ning Chu.
“……”
Suddenly remembering something, he quickly grabbed his glasses from the bedside table, put them on, and upon closer inspection, saw a small beauty with hands on her hips glaring at him.
When he looked down at himself, only in his underwear, he hurriedly pulled the blanket over and blushed, stammering, “You should go outside.”
“As if I haven’t seen it before.”
“Now you’re a girl! Get out.”
Ning Chu couldn’t care less; she yawned and walked outside, just a bit worried about her future sister-in-law’s sex life.
The countryside was a bit far from the city and required a full hour on the bus.
Leaving at seven-thirty, the three of them grabbed breakfast and, once on the bus, Ning Chu awkwardly leaned forward, afraid she’d accidentally squish her little tail.
She could feel her tail growing quickly; she thought she would need to disrupt the plot more, but in just half an hour, it had noticeably lengthened.
It might grow fully by today.
She wasn’t even keen on having a tail.
Soon, if Wen Yang wanted to toy with her, he only needed to give her tail a gentle tug, and she’d probably lose all her ability to resist.
Just thinking about it was terrifying!
The time of being utterly hopeless was drawing near…
Ning Chu sighed, feeling defeated. That meant tonight she’d have to find a rental apartment to stay in; there’s no way she could live in the boys’ dorm anymore.
In the dorm, there was no hiding a tail.
As the buildings outside became shorter, rows of fields and hills appeared. An hour later, the three of them got off and arrived in the old hometown.
Changing her ID went pretty smoothly, if you ignore the clerk’s expression filled with shock.
Cases like Ning Chu’s were quite rare…
It was estimated that her new ID would be delivered to school in about half a month.
“Do you want to go see Grandma and Grandpa?”
“Let’s not… maybe next time.” Ning Chu hesitated; her grandpa wasn’t the easiest person to deal with. What if he found out she had transformed into a girl? Who knows what reaction she’d get.
Her mother didn’t push, “Then how about just wandering around?”
Having not returned to this small county in a while, the city looked exactly the same as in her former life, hardly changed. She could even spot the places she used to eat growing up, though now there were a few more foreign faces on the streets.
As familiar scenes started to fill her vision, the last remaining veil of unreality faded away.
She looked up at her mother, who had her arm linked with hers, dragging her around shopping for clothes, then glanced back at Ning Yuan, who was trailing behind, one hand in his pocket, absorbed in his phone.
And then there was her boyfriend Wen Yang, her roommates, her best friends… without realizing it, she had already become tangled with this world, like threads of a messy yarn.
Even if an opportunity arose to return and become a man again, she would likely have to think long and hard about it.
She had truly put down roots in this world…
