Chapter 235: 234. Ning Chu’s Morning Routine
Ning Chu’s brain was already accustomed to waking up early. Before her phone alarm could go off, she had already opened her eyes.
Her waist arched like a bridge over the bed, and she stretched her arms high, straightening her body.
“Ugh~”
“Sleeping so comfortably~”
Yawning lazily, she reached for her phone on the pillow and turned off the preset alarm.
Is it not even seven yet?
Outside, the sound of rain drizzled, and the air inside carried a faint chill, forcing Ning Chu to hide her bare arms under the covers.
She sneezed, rubbed her slightly reddened nose, and checked the temperature on her phone.
It was just above ten degrees.
Entering December, the temperature would only drop further. With the school built halfway up a mountain, when the cold air surged south, it would likely approach freezing.
“I wonder if the small supermarket nearby sells umbrellas.”
Ning Chu muttered, gradually getting used to the sudden drop in temperature before finally lifting the covers, exposing her bare body.
She loved the feeling of sleeping in the nude; the skin-to-skin contact with the soft blanket made her more comfortable than usual.
But if Wen Yang were to spend the night at the rental apartment, she would have to wear her sleep dress to avoid being seen as deliberately tempting him and getting pinned down for a cough cough “thorough check-up.”
With her long legs, she hurried to the wardrobe, found a white long-sleeve shirt, and then walked naked to the bathroom to wash up.
“It’s raining~”
While brushing her teeth, Ning Chu glanced out the window at the persistent rain and frowned slightly.
She disliked the gloomy rainy days of autumn and winter; they made her hands and feet feel cold, and after a while, she might even get frostbite.
As usual, she washed up and went to the toilet, then squatted in front of the wardrobe to pull out her underwear from the small drawer below.
Ning Chu only owned two sets of underwear—one to wear, one to dry—so thankfully, she had put the underwear away last night. Otherwise, today she would have to go commando.
After taking off her long-sleeve shirt, she paused while putting on her bra.
“It seems a bit tight?”
She looked down at her small apple and hesitated to cover it with her hands.
Though her hands were small, she could still easily grasp it. After recalling its previous size, Ning Chu nodded decisively: “It’s bigger!”
Not sure whether to be happy or sad.
The change wasn’t too obvious; the bra still fit and didn’t cause her any discomfort.
“Didn’t disrupt the plot yesterday, right?”
“Could it be that Wen Yang’s rubbing… but it shouldn’t show results so fast, right?”
Ning Chu murmured, her face flushing.
If it was because of Wen Yang, then Lily… that girl must have also gone through a painfully swollen phase and rushed to make her own adjustments?
Since she didn’t understand, Ning Chu decided to message Lily.
Although asking about such private matters was a bit embarrassing…
Lily replied almost instantly: “You actually didn’t know? How could you resist taking action when it’s uncomfortable?”
“How did you find out? Did Wen Yang do something?”
“……”
So what kind of strange mechanism were succubi’s development phases based on?!
Forcing others into ghs!
Sighing in exasperation, Ning Chu preferred being poor ru.
Not only did she have a petite aesthetic preference, but having too much would also be inconvenient in anything she did. Walking would be a wobbling mess, and wearing fitted clothes would make her feel all sticky.
But she was already feeling quite sticky…
Dressed in long sleeves and pants for going out, she threw on a trench coat and picked up a comb to fix her slightly messy hairstyle in the mirror.
She maintained her old habits; even after becoming a girl, her mother had bought her a heap of skincare products, but she was still too lazy to use even face wash.
She wouldn’t pay much attention to her appearance when going out—just clean clothes and neat hair would suffice.
Having gotten everything ready, it was barely half-past seven when she stepped outside.
Ning Chu wasn’t in a rush to take the bus to school. After exiting her rental apartment, she turned and walked deeper into the village.
This village was mostly inhabited by middle-aged and elderly people, and the few young folks she saw were mostly university students from the nearby school.
In the past few days, she discovered a nice breakfast place.
Compared to the cafeteria’s breakfast, it was cheaper and tastier, though the variety was a tad limited and could get repetitive.
“Boss, two bowls of braised noodles, and two tea eggs, to go.”
The owner was an elderly man, around sixty or seventy, running a small shop of merely ten square meters.
He looked up at Ning Chu, continuing his work while asking, “Just moved in? Haven’t seen you before.”
“Yeah, I’ve only been here for less than a week.”
Her pretty appearance made Ning Chu popular wherever she went, and she was gradually getting used to it.
As long as it wasn’t some overly confident man trying to hit on her, she was fine.
After buying breakfast, Ning Chu hopped on the bus with her takeaway container.
She had already messaged Wen Yang, and by the time she got off at the stop, Wen Yang was yawning as he waited at the bus station.
“I bought you braised noodles.”
The moment Ning Chu saw Wen Yang, her mood lifted, and her tone became even softer.
She jogged up to him, looking up at his sleepy face: “You haven’t even shaved; looking a mess~”
It had only been one day since he last shaved, and there was already a layer of stubble on his chin.
They say facial hair grows fast, and with that X ability, it certainly couldn’t be denied; she had tested it herself.
“I just woke up and saw your message. Had to rush out.”
Wen Yang yawned, looking down at Ning Chu, unable to resist pinching her soft, white face.
“That’ll hurt…”
“I didn’t apply much force.”
He perked up, showing a gentle smile: “Why so early? It’s just a little after seven.”
“I slept early last night.”
On this early morning, the school roads were empty, with hardly anyone around.
Ning Chu glanced around and then linked her arm with Wen Yang’s, pulling that arm close to her chest.
Did you feel that? It’s bigger!
However, Wen Yang seemed unfazed, continuing to share a funny incident from last night: “Yesterday, Shao Qing fought with Wang Jie. One wanted to go play an escape room, while the other said he had to spend time with his girlfriend this weekend.”
“Why don’t they just pair up? They could stick together every day.”
Originally worried that Wang Jie would turn into the pitiful victim, but if this plot continues, the pitiful one would be Wang Jie’s girlfriend!
“Not likely at all.” Wen Yang continued, “Shao Qing is really broke; that guy’s thick-skinned, going to the cafeteria every day for a bowl of rice and then leeching vegetables everywhere.”
“He’s got guts to leech like that… how can he afford to play escape rooms?”
“His friend’s shop, it’s free.”
Ning Chu’s eyes lit up: “Then let’s go play this weekend?!”
“Okay, I’ll let Wang Jie know; we’ll find a time to go.”
“Escape room~ I’ve never played before.”
She murmured softly, glancing at Wen Yang with a teasing glint in her eyes.
Wen Yang’s bravery in this area was less than hers! She just wanted to see Wen Yang’s face, which would be terrified but determined to protect her.
