Chapter 218: Good Brothers
This rental apartment looked fairly clean at first glance, but it seemed to have been vacant for some time, as a thin layer of dust settled on the table.
Ning Chu and Wen Yang bought daily necessities at the village’s small supermarket. When they returned to the rental, they immediately began a thorough cleaning that lasted until past ten at night. Exhausted, they collapsed onto the sofa.
The two-person sofa could fit them both with some space left over, but Wen Yang was nearly two meters tall, which squeezed Ning Chu to sit arm-to-arm with him, making her a bit uncomfortable.
“Let’s grab the blanket and pillow from the dorm. It would be too expensive to buy new ones.”
“We can buy sheets online… let’s just manage for tonight.”
Ning Chu mumbled while browsing decorative sheets on her online shopping app when suddenly her phone rang.
“Who is it?”
“Shao Qing… don’t say anything. He thinks you’re at Wen Wen’s place.”
She had anticipated Zhang Shaoqing’s call, prepared herself, and answered with bravado, “Hey! What’s up!”
“The dorms are locked up. Are you coming back tonight?”
“I’m staying at Xin Ya’s dorm tonight. Not coming back.”
“What the heck! You’re just like Wen Yang! Once you have a woman, you forget about your roommate, huh? Such a scumbag!”
“Geez~”
With the phone on speaker, she glanced at the “scumbag” next to her; Wen Yang innocently shrugged.
Zhang Shaoqing’s curiosity was palpable as he lowered his voice like a thief, “Hey, did you know? Wen Yang found a girlfriend who looks a lot like you.”
“Really? Did he just get her while I’ve been away the past few days?”
“I think so! You sound pretty calm about this~ Are you not jealous that some girl is getting close to Wen Yang?”
Ning Chu calmly explained, “Jealous? I’m just worried he’ll be fooled by some bad woman. Just look at those girls who approach him—who’s sane?”
“So what about this time…”
“I’ll go meet that woman tomorrow.”
Zhang Shaoqing was pleased with his successful meddling, releasing a victorious smirk like a true villain.
Ning Chu thought he was childish and rolled her eyes, “I’ve been living in the girls’ dorm, so it’s not a big deal if he finds out.”
“Ah? You’re a girl, right?”
“If I were a girl, would the counselor have warned me verbally?”
“Damn! So you’re throwing silver parties in the girls’ dorm!”
“Jealous, are we? Bye!”
After hanging up on Zhang Shaoqing, Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief and leaned weakly against Wen Yang’s shoulder, complaining, “Seriously, at this rate, we can’t keep this a secret.”
“Should we find a chance to clear things up?” Wen Yang casually wrapped his arm around her waist.
Soft jade in his embrace, with the sweet scent of Ning Chu filling his nose and the subtle tension of being alone in a room together, Wen Yang found himself almost instantly fully awakened.
But Ning Chu remained oblivious, staring at the TV as she mumbled, “Honestly, even if I rent a place, it wouldn’t matter if he found out.”
Zhang Shaoqing had long suspected she was a girl. Even if it turned out to be true, he probably wouldn’t react that much.
But if he found out she had hooked up with her own roommate… that sounded way too strange.
“Forget it, too lazy to think about this. I’ll shower and go to bed.”
In any case, she wouldn’t be going back to the boys’ dorm! It was best if her friendship with Zhang Shaoqing faded away.
Supporting herself on Wen Yang’s thigh, Ning Chu yawned, her eyes starting to tear up from exhaustion as she slowly walked to the wardrobe to get her clothes.
Tomorrow she would have to go back to being that “man.”
Although being a “man” was more comfortable, being a “woman” brought her greater satisfaction.
She couldn’t quite pinpoint where that sense of satisfaction came from or how to describe it.
After grabbing a set of short-sleeved top and shorts for pajamas, Ning Chu turned and headed to the bathroom.
The bathroom was a bit cramped and didn’t have a separate dry and wet area. There was nowhere to place her clean clothes, so after searching around, she finally had to hang them on the hook behind the door, worrying they might get wet.
After tossing her female clothing into the sink, Ning Chu looked down to find a poorly developed little tail wrapping from behind her rear to her lower abdomen.
“…”
Unknowingly, she had learned to control this new accessory.
Even though it wasn’t fully developed, the tail was already quite sensitive. Even just a light touch could send a wave of pleasure coursing through her spine like electricity.
“Who knows, I might even grow horns… maybe even little wings.”
In terms of quantity, Ning Chu felt she gained something.
Lost one external accessory, gained an internal one, and now had an additional tail.
What was alarming was that she once struggled to accept becoming a woman, yet now she found the tail quite appealing.
After all, her mother had…
Wen Yang, yawning as he leaned back on the sofa, had his attention entirely captured by the sound of water coming from the bathroom as the TV played a trending costume drama.
Inevitably, he imagined Ning Chu’s fair, silky body showering. Rubbing his nose, he felt much more alert.
The problem was, he had no clean clothes to use…
Would Ning Chu be bothered by that?
Would she really make him sleep on the sofa or the floor?
Unlike the semi-public setting of the dorms, this rental was private, just the two of them. A lonely man and woman wouldn’t be disturbed.
Wen Yang was inevitably a little restless, daydreaming about the possibilities ahead.
As a little virgin, he felt a tinge of nervousness.
After nearly twenty minutes, Ning Chu strolled out of the bathroom at a leisurely pace.
Hearing the door open, Wen Yang immediately looked up.
Having just showered, the girl’s skin looked even more hydrated, her damp hair sticking to her cheeks, exuding a casually alluring vibe. The soaked short sleeve clung to her chest, accentuating her cute little outline, with two lovely red spots barely visible.
She settled at the end of the bed, tilting her head as she carefully dried her hair with a towel. Her full, creamy thighs were tightly pressed together, with a few droplets of water sliding down their curves.
Wen Yang’s breath instantly became much heavier.
“No hairdryer, huh…”
Ning Chu complained, “If I sleep with wet hair, I’ve heard it’ll give me a headache.”
“I wanted to buy one, but the small supermarket in the village didn’t carry them. We’ll have to make do for tonight.”
“Alright.” She set the towel down and lay back on the bed, “Thank goodness the weather isn’t too cold; I can sleep without a blanket.”
Wen Yang was starting to struggle with his restraint. He got up nervously, quietly sitting on the edge of the bed.
To avoid being discovered since he was already upright, he deliberately faced sideways, not directly looking at Ning Chu, afraid she’d be startled.
“Let it dry naturally before sleeping.” Ning Chu lowered her head, playing on her phone, and asked, “Aren’t you going to take a shower?”
“I don’t have clean clothes to change into…”
“Hmm, could you fit my old underwear? You’ve been out all day; you can’t skip washing, right?”
“Probably too small.” Sure enough feeling rejected, Wen Yang hurriedly stood and headed to the bathroom, “Then I won’t change.”
“Okay, I’ll grab my old underwear for you to try.”
Now that Ning Chu had proper female lingerie, she no longer needed the old boxer shorts.
From now on, they’d just be good buddies wearing the same pair of underwear!
