Chapter 411
“Life is nice~”
After their little bout of playful roughhousing, Ning Chu sat on the bench, resting her head against Wen Yang’s shoulder as she stared at the shimmering artificial lake in front of them.
There were no distracting noises—only the rustling of leaves in the wind. All she could smell was Wen Yang’s familiar scent. The anxiety caused by her growing horns and those annoying girls finally faded into calmness.
Her cold hands were tucked into Wen Yang’s coat as she muttered softly, “It’s just a little chilly.”
Her cheeks were flushed red from the wind, almost dry enough to peel.
“Then shall we head back?” Wen Yang asked.
“Let’s sit for a bit longer.”
With no one around, Ning Chu let her tail slip out from beneath her skirt, lazily swaying back and forth.
Wen Yang keenly noticed her eyes drifting toward his knees, her gaze spinning with mischief.
“Don’t start.” He pressed down on her twitching little head with one hand, then opened his coat again to pull her into his embrace.“Oh~”
He raised his collar to block the wind blowing at her.
“It’s getting a bit warm.”
“You always complain.”
Ning Chu giggled and snuggled closer. Outside, the winter wind roared, but Wen Yang’s chest felt like summer.
They didn’t go to the library. During the lunch break, the two walked around campus arm in arm, chatting slowly.
Their conversation drifted from games to lewd topics, from novels to lewd topics, from studying… back to lewd topics again…
Normally, they didn’t talk this much. At the rental apartment they often did their own things. But while strolling outside, suddenly there was endless chatter.
Afternoon. Two o’clock.
Time for class again.
The school now prohibited food and slippers in the academic buildings. As Ning Chu and Wen Yang approached the only path into the teaching area, they saw another annoying face.
In the morning, it was the younger sister, Guo Guo—enthusiastic and bubbly.
Now, it was the older sister, Duo Duo—cold and quiet.
Their expressions were different, but both pairs of eyes reflected only Wen Yang.
Unforgivable!
The official girlfriend was literally standing right here!
Even though Duo Duo didn’t say a single word to Wen Yang, Ning Chu’s blood pressure still spiked, her jealousy practically exploding.
If her period wasn’t still ongoing and preventing her from “doing anything,” she would’ve started implementing her replacement plan already.
“Eh? Why’d you kick me?” Wen Yang gasped, confused after being kicked out of nowhere.
“What do you think?!”
Seeing the little succubus already drowning in jealousy, he awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, “This isn’t my fault, right?”
Instinctively, he glanced at the student council checkpoint—only to see Duo Duo turning back again, her gaze locking with his at the exact moment.
“You’re still looking!”
“No, no, I wasn’t.”
Wen Yang muttered under his breath, “Seriously, they haven’t even said two sentences to me. I’ve barely met them. How could they suddenly like me?”
“Because it’s the plot, duh. Are you dumb?”
He nodded thoughtfully. “Why do they feel like NPCs?”
Whether they “liked” him or not felt like something out of a novel—completely lacking in reality. Not like his relationship with Ning Chu, which happened outside of the scripted plots, built through actual daily life.
Ning Chu didn’t bother thinking that far. All she knew was that if she didn’t get rid of those bad women, she’d never have a peaceful day.
She was going to die of anger sooner or later!
Once in the afternoon classroom, she sat down and immediately began planning her next move.
First, out of the three routes, she needed to choose one storyline to test…
The public bathroom event was too dangerous. The other two could be done in their rental apartment.
One: tie up Wen Yang, climb on top of him herself.
Two: tie herself up and offer herself on Wen Yang’s bed.
Hmm… while the first could satisfy Ning Chu’s desire not to be pinned down by a man, it was a little too proactive. Her face wasn’t thick enough; she’d need serious mental preparation.
But here came the problem—she needed rope.
And she needed to learn tying techniques.
She only knew how to tie a simple cross knot—and she couldn’t even tie her shoelaces neatly. Tying up a person was really pushing her abilities.
“Where’s Shaoqing?”
Wen Yang’s voice interrupted Ning Chu’s thoughts that were already starting to drip yellow.
Wang Jie walked into the classroom alone and sat beside Wen Yang. “He wasn’t home at noon. When I asked, he said he went to meet Qian Qian.”
“Qian Qian? Didn’t she stop paying attention to Shaoqing?”
“Supposedly? I’m not too sure.”
Ning Chu’s ears perked up. She hurriedly texted Qian Qian in confusion.
Weren’t you supposed to leave Zhang Shaoqing hanging?! Why’d you soften so fast?!
That thick-skinned guy had zero interest in girls who liked him. Qian Qian absolutely shouldn’t act too enthusiastic!
Before long, Qian Qian sent back a confident “victory” emoji.
It looked like she had noticed Zhang Shaoqing’s bizarre fetish.
Only then did Ning Chu relax. She glanced around cautiously before opening her phone to look up binding tutorials.
Tying herself seemed… difficult~
The tutorials were detailed, but she couldn’t practice now, which left her scrambling.
Worst case, she’d just fake it.
“Eh—”
She suddenly jolted and quickly turned her head, only to see Lily sitting beside her at some unknown point, leaning over to peek at her phone.
Lily’s lips were slightly parted, her eyes filled with surprise—but her expression remained as cold as ever.
Slamming her phone face-down onto the desk, Ning Chu glared at her in embarrassment. “Why do you walk without making a sound?!”
“You play pretty wild.”
“……”
“I know how to do that.”
“!!!”
Ning Chu’s entire face stiffened. She looked at the expressionless, cool-faced girl who had just claimed she knew how to do shibari. Ning Chu had no idea what kind of expression she should be showing.
You—no boyfriend, only a toy-loving succubus—and you know this?!
“Where’s Xinya?”
“In the bathroom.”
Their voices were quiet. Ning Chu snuck a glance at Wen Yang—still blissfully unaware—then leaned close to Lily’s ear.
“Teach me!”
Two little succubi leaned their heads together, sharing… “knowledge.” Learning from each other.
Wen Yang looked over curiously, wondering what the two of them could possibly have so much to whisper about.
Yan Xinya returned from the bathroom shortly after. She rushed over to the two succubi, leaned in curiously—but only listened for a few seconds before covering her mouth and squeaking like a startled prairie dog.
“Wah~”
Which made Wen Yang even more curious.
What on earth were these girls talking about?
Their faces were flushed—excited yet embarrassed. And like nervous hamsters, they occasionally jerked their heads up, glancing around guiltily.
“So Shaoqing’s skipping the afternoon classes too?” Wen Yang kept chatting with Wang Jie, though his eyes stayed fixed on the huddled group of girls.
“He asked me to help take attendance.”
“The teacher’s here.”
Seeing the instructor arrive at the podium, Wen Yang refocused, opened his textbook, took out his notebook and pen, and prepared to study.
Meanwhile, Ning Chu had already begun her own kind of studying.
