"When I'm not around, you're not allowed to talk to any women!"
"If some bad woman tries to flirt with you, just reject her outright! If she keeps pestering you, just curse at her!"
Even if she got punished for it, that was still better than coming back two days later and finding a bunch of women gathered around Wen Yang.
Though, honestly, the chances of that happening were pretty low.
Ning Chu suddenly thought of the vampire Nana and pressed her lips together. "Even if you see a girl fainting, you have to call someone else over before helping. You need to avoid suspicion."
It was a pity she hadn’t been able to let out all her ‘restlessness’ at noon. Instead, thanks to her imagination running wild with indecent thoughts, she'd built up even more tension.
She wasn't thick-skinned enough to deal with it right under Wen Yang's nose, and she definitely didn’t dare to ask him for help…
"Make sure you eat more during meals. If it’s not enough, just grab some food from Shaoqing. You're too big to be eating just vegetables all the time."
Wen Yang stood at the entrance of the waiting room, arms crossed, nodding helplessly. "Got it, got it. It's only two days. Do you really need to worry this much?"
"Besides, I already have a girlfriend."
His gentle gaze fell on Ning Chu’s face, making her slightly embarrassed. She turned her head away.
"Just… be careful, alright? Don't let those flirty vixens take advantage of you."
"Fine, I'll stay far away from any women I see."
"The train will arrive in twenty minutes…" Ning Chu checked the time. "Should I head in now?"
"How about leave me with something before you go?"
"……"
Right now, they are surrounded by people, and she wasn’t thick-skinned enough to show affection in public.
"I'm going."
She lowered her head and quickly walked into the waiting room.
She was going home…
She had no idea what she would be facing.
This was a hentai world, a parallel world where her family hadn’t changed locations. It was still the same old, worn-down apartment in the provincial capital.
Aside from the fact that the average attractiveness of passersby had increased by a lot, and occasionally spotting some overly stunning individuals that are hentai-douijin protagonist level, the provincial capital’s high-speed rail station looked almost identical to the one from her previous life.
Two hours later, she stepped out of the southern exit. Sweeping her gaze over the crowd outside, she quickly spotted a young man standing on a staircase in the distance.
He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with delicate and slightly thin features. He wore thick glasses and had a gentle, scholarly demeanor—like an academic.
He looked vastly different from the high school dropout version of her brother that she remembered.
But thankfully, Ning Yuan’s face hadn’t changed. At least, he hadn’t turned into some mature succubus big sister.
From the bottom of her heart, Ning Chu was happy for Ning Yuan. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a bit unfamiliar and uneasy.
Carrying her small bag of luggage, she clenched her tiny fists nervously and took small steps forward. Stopping in front of Ning Yuan, she looked up and met his gaze up close.
"……"
Ning Yuan looked down at the petite girl before him, remaining silent. Instead, he gave her a friendly yet awkward smile.
After a few moments of stiff eye contact, Ning Chu couldn’t hold back anymore. She hesitated, then softly called out, "Bro…"
"???"
"I—I'm Ning Chu."
"Ning Chu?"
Ning Yuan took a surprised step back, carefully examining the young girl before him.
Her face was youthful and adorable. Her features were delicate and petite. At first glance, she looked like a middle schooler, but her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes added an extra hint of allure.
She was about 1.6 meters tall, with a small frame. Her coat wrapped her body tightly, making it impossible to see any curves.
Her bangs were slightly messy, nearly covering her eyes. The hair on both sides of her face draped over her ears, leaving only her soft, pink earlobes exposed.
No matter how you looked at it, she was just a pretty little girl.
Ning Yuan’s mouth twitched as he glanced back at the station exit. “Where’s Ning Chu?”
“It’s me!”
Good grief! Did he seriously not recognize her at all?
Ning Chu felt a chill in her heart. She didn’t think her face had changed that much.
Her old face had always been rather delicate—even back then, the café owner had taken a liking to her. Now, her current face looked like an enhanced, feminized version of her past self with a beauty filter applied.
Her cheeks flushed anxiously as she fished out her ID from her pocket and handed it over. “Bro! It’s really me!”
Ning Yuan took the ID, glanced at it, then looked back at the girl standing before him. He fell silent for a moment, his mind racing to process the sudden influx of information.
Upon closer inspection, he could faintly see traces of his younger brother’s features in this girl’s face.
Did my little brother… get into crossdressing?
But he wasn’t even wearing women’s clothes!
“…Did you put on makeup?”
“No…”
Ning Yuan scrutinized her from head to toe. “Then… did you get plastic surgery?”
“Nope… I just, uh, had a major glow-up?” Ning Chu struggled to come up with a reasonable excuse.
She did want to come clean about her gender right away, but the words got stuck in her throat.
Telling the truth was even more nerve-wracking when it came to family.
It was better to check out the situation at home first. If their mother turned out to be a succubus, she’d confess to her first. If not… then she’d just have to bite the bullet and “come out.”
“Alright then,” Ning Yuan muttered, still skeptical. “A few months in college, and I almost didn’t recognize you.” He took her luggage and started walking. “Let’s talk more at home.”
“You should probably get a haircut before we go back, though. Otherwise, Mom’s gonna nag you again.”
“You’re acting all delicate like a girl. She was hoping you’d bring a girlfriend home, not turn into one.”
“Any problem with your expenses? I heard you get about 1,500 to 2,000 yuan a month. Make sure you don’t waste it.”
Since there was no father in their household, Ning Yuan, five years older, had taken on that role. While he nagged on, his eyes kept darting toward Ning Chu.
Finally, Ning Chu felt something familiar about him.
Yes. This chatterbox, this annoying nag—it was definitely her brother!
Even if this version of him was a successful and refined man, he was still the same old talkative pain in the ass.
“I’ll cut my hair tomorrow.”
She planned to come clean to their mother tonight and ask about the markings on her body.
After all, turning into a succubus couldn’t just be some cosmic reward for breaking the plot, right? There had to be some genetic factor involved.
“Fine, as long as you’re ready to be scolded.”
As they entered the underground parking lot, Ning Chu climbed into Ning Yuan’s car.
She clasped her hands tightly over her stomach, biting her lip as she gazed out the window nervously.
She was about to see their mother…
Ning Yuan cast her a sideways glance. Not only did his little brother look like a girl now, even his mannerisms and expressions were completely feminine. It was as if he’d turned into an entirely different person.
“…You… you’re not into men, are you?”
Ning Chu’s heart skipped a beat. Then, she shook her head firmly. “Of course not!”
She only liked Wen Yang. Any other man who came near her instantly triggered her suspicions—she was always on edge, afraid they might be a creep.
“…Is that so?”
Ning Yuan started the car, shifting his attention to the road. He didn’t say anything more, but his mind was filled with questions about Ning Chu.
Ning Chu: “How’s Mom’s health?”
“She’s good. She can climb five flights of stairs without breaking a sweat—way healthier than I am.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“But after seeing you like this… she might not be so good anymore.”
Ning Chu: “……”
