Chapter 283: New Friends【16/20】
“Ning Chu~”
The next morning, as soon as she stepped out the door, Ning Chu spotted Nana waving at her from not far away.
This vampire lived in the same village, and if the timing was right, they would wait for Ning Chu to go to school together.
Their relationship was pretty good, but not quite at the best friends level yet.
“Good morning.”
Ning Chu tried to walk as normally as possible, but when her pants rubbed against her thighs, a slight pain made her movements a bit awkward.
Nana quickly picked up on her unease and glanced at Wen Yang, who was walking beside her.
She probably figured something out.
Seeing the realization in Nana’s eyes, Ning Chu knew the girl must be thinking in the wrong direction.
“Let’s go.”
Without explaining, Ning Chu pretended to be oblivious and joined Nana, the three of them headed to the bus stop outside the village.
Nana didn’t tease her; she simply kept glancing at the couple occasionally.
Vampires were easy to deal with since their relationship was still at the friend stage and they usually didn’t discuss anything too open.
But the Wolf Girl and Succubus? That was a different story!
Ning Chu could already imagine her two friends teasing her.
Once on the bus, she shot Wen Yang an annoyed glare.
“She could tell…”
Leaning in, she whispered to Wen Yang, “My mom will definitely notice by noon!”
“Couldn’t you wait a few days before trying something new?!”
Wen Yang looked innocent. “I didn’t know it would hurt you for so long; I mean, there was plenty of lubrication…”
The little Succubus was made of water, and Ning Chu was surprisingly hydrated too.
Hearing this, Ning Chu was furious. “It’s too long!”
Wen Yang quickly comforted her. “It’s fine, you’re a Succubus.”
“……”
Ning Chu kicked Wen Yang’s shin in annoyance.
You know, it’s common for a Succubus to be super easy and flirt with men everywhere, but if you say that a mature Succubus is still a virgin, people will definitely start to wonder if there’s something wrong with her.
Sure, her views might be shifting toward a more feminine perspective, but she wasn’t turning into a Succubus!
But lately, she had been getting wilder with Wen Yang. Just the faint pleasure from last night almost had her losing her mind…
Fortunately, when she turned her head, that weapon scared her back to reality.
It felt like it was only a matter of time before she completely turned into a Succubus.
“Wait, I’ll go to the medical room and get you some medicine. Want to try some?”
“Sure.”
Ning Chu could only hope her legs wouldn’t hurt by noon, so she could walk normally.
Sitting a bit away, Nana couldn’t hear their whispers and finally asked, “Ning Chu, did you eat breakfast?”
“Not yet.”
“I have some~”
Nana pulled out a carefully wrapped sushi from her bag: “I rolled some sushi this morning, and there’s milk too~”
The mention of milk made Ning Chu’s expression change a bit.
She used to look down on that little Cat Girl who loved milk in the plot, and now she found herself drinking it every few days…
She had promised it was just that one time.
Running those thoughts through her mind, she smiled and nodded, “Thanks~”
“I made a bit too much; if you don’t eat it, I’ll have to share with my classmates.”
“Weren’t we just saying that girls today can’t cook…” she mumbled while accepting the sushi, “but it seems like the girls around me can all cook.”
“What about Xinya?”
“Her? I don’t think she can make anything but instant noodles.”
Mentioning Yan Xinya instantly made Ning Chu more confident in the kitchen.
At least she could make fried rice; whether it tasted good or not, it was still edible.
And she had tasted the food Xinya made—strawberry pasta, spicy scrambled eggs with tomatoes, banana mush over rice… if that girl wants to cook, she should really get a grip on the basics first.
She had a ton of strange ideas, and while they were clearly pranks, at least she couldn’t eat them.
After taking the bus to school, Ning Chu split from Nana and headed to class alone.
“Wen Yang, where is he?”
Yan Xinya, seeing her alone, was a bit shocked.
“Going to the medical room.”
Ning Chu tried to keep her legs together as she walked over to Yan Xinya, but the pain still made her steps a bit awkward.
“That’s impressive!”
Yan Xinya looked at her strange gait, her ears perked up. “You’re just uncomfortable walking, and he’s already headed to the hospital?!”
Lily looked amazed, “So strong~”
Ning Chu couldn’t help but slap each of the girls’ heads. Annoyed, she sat down and argued, “It was the medical room!”
“That’s still impressive. You were able to bring him down so easily!”
“……”
Her face flushed red; she stammered, unsure how to explain.
Should she just tell the truth, that it was just Wen Yang’s slight touch? But she couldn’t say that!
If she didn’t explain, they’d assume she was easy.
Nana was better at this; that vampire was curious but didn’t say anything so bluntly.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Ning Chu shot Yan Xinya a glare, then laid her head on the desk, covering her ears with her hands. “Leave me alone!”
“Why is Ning Chu so grumpy today? Did she find Wen Yang weak and undesirable?”
Yan Xinya turned to Lily for confirmation.
Lily pondered for a moment and nodded.
Weak and undesirable?
Come on, you guys! Wen Yang’s strength had few female characters in the book able to stand up to him! And this was reality!
You say you can… forget it.
Ning Chu rolled her eyes silently, too lazy to argue.
Even if she could explain it clearly, Yan Xinya and Lily wouldn’t miss the chance to tease her.
“Instead of worrying about me and Wen Yang, why not consider your own single issues?”
“My dear Lily is so well-behaved, cute, beautiful, and charming, she has no worries about being liked~ Right, Lily?”
Lily turned away, expressionless, ignoring Yan Xinya.
“Morning.”
Wang Jie entered the classroom alone, greeted Ning Chu, and then took a seat in the corner, leaving a distance of four chairs between himself and the girls.
“Where’s Shaoqing?”
“He can’t get up.”
“Tsk~ It’s almost finals, while everyone else is cramming, he’s just slacking off~”
Ning Chu sighed in relief; if she had someone like Zhang Shaoqing with her failing, that wouldn’t be too bad.
Wang Jie had been a bit chubby before, but after more than a month, he looked much thinner, almost like a sickly person who drank too much every day.
She suspected Wang Jie’s girlfriend was also a Succubus!
Too tough.
Wang Jie was compelled to start working out; he signed up for a fitness club, but the results weren’t very noticeable.
After sizing up Wang Jie, Ning Chu turned back to Yan Xinya, trying to find a fellow failer. “Xinya~ Are you confident you’ll fail?”
“Huh? I definitely won’t fail; after all, I have Lily teaching me~”
“I don’t believe you; you’re definitely going to fail!”
Yan Xinya hardly listened in class, and Ning Chu didn’t believe she could do better than a husky.
