Officially, Ning Chu and Wen Yang were now a couple.
It felt like a lot had changed, yet at the same time, nothing had.
The next day, they went to the cafeteria together as usual, attended classes together, played games during breaks, or watched anime and TV shows.
But for some reason, the atmosphere when spending time with Wen Yang had become even more immersive, making Ning Chu want to be with him 24/7.
And, well, they really were together all the time~
“How come you two seem even more… gay than before?”
Zhang Shaoqing looked at the two of them, whispering to each other, exchanging smiles, playfully teasing one another—it was impossible not to see them as a couple in the honeymoon phase.
Even the way Ning Chu fed Wen Yang seemed to carry a hint of flirtation these days.
He had finally decided to eat at the cafeteria for once, but before he could take a few bites, he was already force-fed a mouthful of PDA.
The weirdest part? These were two guys acting all lovey-dovey, yet he somehow found it… natural? Like it actually made sense?
“Really?” Wang Jie, who was focused on his food, lifted his head and glanced at the two. “I don’t think so? Haven’t they always been like this?”
“He’s just naturally gay, so of course, everyone looks gay to him.”
Ning Chu shot Zhang Shaoqing a smug glance, her tone playfully teasing.
Zhang Shaoqing scoffed and then glanced around at the empty seats, a little disappointed. “Where are Yan Xinya and Lily? Why aren’t they eating with us today?”
Because they didn’t want to be third wheels.
Not everyone is as oblivious as you.
As usual, Ning Chu only ate until she was about seventy percent full before pushing the rest of her food toward Wen Yang. She fiddled with her phone in her left hand while, under the table, her right hand sneakily reached out and hooked Wen Yang’s pinky finger.
Feeling guilty, she glanced up at Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Jie, her cheeks flushing slightly.
There was a thrill to it, like sneaking around in a forbidden romance!
Wait, no! They were a real couple—just one that couldn’t go public yet.
Ning Chu traced circles on Wen Yang’s palm with her fingertips, sneaking peeks at his face, watching as his cheeks gradually turned pink.
She stifled a laugh—until his expression suddenly froze.
Wait a minute! Damn it, I’m a guy! How did I end up like this?!
Even if I’m in a girl’s body now, I should be the badass, independent type—not acting all flirty and desperate like this!
Maybe it was because Wen Yang had accepted her past identity, or maybe it was because her masculinity had been stomped on too many times. Either way, it had completely given up, no longer resisting.
Oh well, in that case…
Keep going!
“By the way, what time are you leaving tonight?”
Wen Yang suddenly wrapped his hand around Ning Chu’s, acting casual as he asked.
Now it was her turn to feel shy. She stole a nervous glance at Zhang Shaoqing, afraid they’d get caught. “My ticket’s for eight o’clock.”
“Want me to drive you there?”
The third wheel suddenly butted in.
Before Ning Chu could answer, Wen Yang was already shaking his head. “No need, I happen to be going out anyway, so I’ll just take him on my way.”
“You guys could just take my car together, then.”
Zhang Shaoqing remained blissfully unaware.
But Wen Yang, showing a rare bit of assertiveness, refused again. “That won’t be necessary.”
“Ah~ I’m totally being excluded. It’s like they don’t even see me as a friend anymore~”
Zhang Shaoqing dramatically leaned against Wang Jie’s shoulder, whining in an exaggerated tone.
His little performance didn’t last long, though. Soon, he stood up and tugged Wang Jie toward the convenience store. “Come on, let’s go buy some drinks.”
Ning Chu quickly pulled her hand away from Wen Yang’s grasp, afraid of being caught red-handed.
"Do you want me to go back with you?"
With the third wheel temporarily gone, Wen Yang asked casually while eating.
"Uh… better not."
Although Ning Chu was tempted by the idea, there would be nowhere for Wen Yang to stay.
She couldn’t just bring him home, right?
Her pretty face and succubus identity alone would already take time for her mother and brother to process. If she brought a guy home on top of that… she didn’t even dare to imagine the scene.
"How are you planning to explain things to your family?"
"I don’t know. I’ll just take it one step at a time."
"If anything happens, call me. I’ll get there as soon as I can."
"Mm."
The journey from school to her home would take about three hours if traffic was smooth.
Although Ning Chu was eager to see her mother and brother again, she had also mentally prepared herself for the possibility of being kicked out.
If she was lucky, maybe her mother was a succubus too and had always known she would eventually become a girl.
If she was unlucky, then it wouldn’t be surprising if her mother’s traditional mindset made it impossible for her to accept the change.
Only a few hours remained before she returned home.
Her emotions were tangled—she wanted to rush back immediately, but at the same time, anxiety gnawed at her over the issue of her gender.
Her mind was filled with endless scenarios of what might happen when she arrived, making her feel increasingly restless.
"It’s okay, I’m here."
"Don’t overthink it. There’s always a way forward."
Luckily, Wen Yang—now officially her boyfriend—was doing his best to calm her down.
She gave a small nod just as Zhang Shaoqing returned with drinks.
"Here, I got you milk tea." Zhang Shaoqing tossed a warm bottle of Assam milk tea into her arms. "Remember to send me the money for it."
Ning Chu quickly buried her uneasiness and took a sip of the milk tea. Then, standing up, she said, "I’m heading back first to pack my things. You guys take your time eating."
Please, eat as slowly as possible!
"Here’s my key." Wen Yang fished out his dorm key and handed it to her.
"Mm!"
Ning Chu hurriedly bolted out of the cafeteria.
Her roommates were all still eating, which meant she had at least ten minutes of uninterrupted alone time!
The perfect opportunity!
She needed to vent all the pent-up ‘frustration’ in her body, or else she might lose control at home and end up… acting on herself.
That would be way too terrifying!
Watching her dash off in such a hurry, Wen Yang had a guess.
Could it be… another one of those random succubus urges kicking in?
Worried she might get into trouble, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I’m full. I’m heading back too."
"What’s with them?" Zhang Shaoqing muttered. "Running off like it’s a competition."
<+>
Ning Chu sprinted all the way back to the dorm.
Time was tight—she couldn’t afford to overthink things. She grabbed a change of clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
Even if her roommates came back early, she could just say she was taking a shower.
Leaning against the cool tiled wall, she pressed her legs together, closed her eyes, and desperately tried to conjure up some inappropriate mental images to work with.
Unknowingly, she had started getting used to experiencing these fantasies from a female perspective.
And naturally, Wen Yang had become the leading role in them.
She even imagined being… taken.
The realization made her heart tighten with discomfort.
She was sinking deeper into depravity…
But it was effective—her body quickly heated up.
Then—
The bathroom door swung open.
Wen Yang stepped in, relief washing over his face as he saw her leaning against the wall, flushed all over.
"Oh, you were in here. I was wondering where you ran off to."
"……"
It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head. Ning Chu snapped back to reality instantly.
She forgot to lock the door!
Fantasy was one thing, but if she were actually pinned down, she absolutely could not accept it.
That was her last shred of "manly" dignity!
At the very least, she should be on top!
