Chapter 418
After the round of playful teasing, Ning Chu and Yan Xinya sat behind Lily, stretching their necks to peek at Lily’s screen as she played her eroge.
Ning Chu honestly hadn’t expected this kind of activity to happen in a girls’ dorm… She always thought only the boys’ dorms would have group porn-watching sessions or people playing adult games together.
But judging from Yan Xinya’s completely unfazed expression—and her experienced commentary on the male and female leads—it was probably far from her first time.
Then again, one was a succubus, the other a wolf girl corrupted by a succubus… not exactly surprising.
And she herself was also a succubus…
So Ning Chu watched with righteous confidence.
No need to pretend in front of her close girlfriends. On the surface, they were all polished, beautiful girls—inside, every single one of them had a runaway imagination like a little steam train.
“Anime girls are still the best~” Yan Xinya propped one arm on the back of the chair, resting her chin in her hand as she muttered. “I just can’t get into the live-action stuff.”
“Mm.” Lily responded, eyes fixated on the screen, struggling to unlock the next animated CG.
Ning Chu, however, didn’t say anything. After coming to this world, she hadn’t really watched any “artistic works,” nor did she know how to judge their quality. She had watched a short clip with her roommates once, but she fled after a few minutes from sheer embarrassment. After that, the only thing she’d “consumed” was the explicit fiction she herself had brought into this world.“By the way, Ning Chu, why are your horns growing so fast?”
While Lily focused on wooing the girl in the game, Yan Xinya shifted her attention back to Ning Chu.
“No idea.”
Ning Chu played dumb and shook her head with a blank expression.
“It feels like you’re developing faster than a normal person~” the wolf girl said. Then she asked Lily, “Hey, how long did it take you to grow from a cutting board to a C cup?”
“High school, I think?”
“Even if it was freshman year, it took years, right? But Ning Chu only took half a year.”
Of course Ning Chu couldn’t tell them the truth. She continued pretending:
“Maybe it’s because… I have a boyfriend?”
“That can’t make your horns grow. It’s not like Wen Yang rubs them every day, right?”
“…”
Ning Chu had no comeback, so she simply surrendered to laziness:
“No clue. I don’t get it either.”
Yan Xinya stared at the little horns on her head and muttered,
“Shouldn’t you get a hospital checkup? Growing this fast feels like something’s wrong.”
“I have no money~ And it’s not like it’s a bad thing.”
The wolf girl, despite her teasing, sounded genuinely concerned:
“You should still get a physical exam when you have time. Your speed-run power-up is way too ridiculous.”
“Mm, yeah, I know.”
Ning Chu nodded half-heartedly.
“You used to look like a cute little boy. But in just half a year, your face got insanely pretty, your chest caught up with Lily’s, your tail got super long, you grew horns, you even have a boyfriend now…”
“Lily, look at you! You’re falling behind!”
Lily quietly refuted: “Ning Chu is just too strong.”
“Ning Chu was born to be a succubus!” Yan Xinya gave a dramatic thumbs-up.
That… didn’t sound like a compliment at all…
Ning Chu’s mouth twitched, her face burning bright red from the wolf girl’s teasing, her hands squeezed between her thighs in embarrassment.
Fortunately, neither of them knew she used to be a boy.
Otherwise she would crawl under the bed and never come back out.
“Ooh! New CG!” Yan Xinya’s attention shifted to the screen again. She leaned forward eagerly, only to sigh in disappointment a moment later.
“Ugh, plot… Why even put plot in this kind of game? And you have to romance the girls one by one? So annoying.”
The dorm room door was suddenly pushed open.
All three girls sitting at the computer immediately straightened their backs at the same time and turned with stiff necks toward the door. Lily had already switched the screen back to the desktop at lightning speed.
“Why are you all so jumpy?”
Lin Li walked in with a small bag in hand, her fiery-red fox tail swaying behind her hips. Her narrow foxy eyes swept over the three with suspicion.
“What kind of shady stuff are you watching?”
“You scared me to death.” Yan Xinya let out the breath she was holding. “Lock the door.”
“Ning Chu’s here too? What are you looking at that’s so interesting?” Lin Li set her handbag on the table, took off her fox-fur scarf, and turned to ask, “Why aren’t you with your boyfriend? What are you doing here?”
“…”
Ning Chu couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge the fox girl.
“On my way back just now, I saw Wen Yang talking to some girl I don’t recognize.”
Ning Chu reflexively tried to stand up, but when the chair screeched sharply against the floor, she realized what she was doing. Half-risen, she plopped back down, crossed her legs, folded her arms over her stomach, and snorted dismissively:
“Nonsense! Wen Yang isn’t that kind of person.”
“Then why did you react like that?”
“Which of your eyes saw me react?!”
“Alright, alright~ Why do you two start fighting the moment you see each other?” Yan Xinya stepped in to smooth things over. She waved Lin Li over. “Come look at this! It’s amazing!”
“What is it?”
Lin Li took off her outerwear and changed into comfy home clothes before walking over to Lily’s computer. She leaned in for a glance, then immediately turned away and headed for the balcony.
“I’m not interested. Xinya, stop hanging out with succubi. Look at what you’ve become.”
A fox girl… who has no interest in lewd content?!
Ning Chu stared in disbelief at Lin Li’s retreating back.
Yan Xinya muttered beside her, “People with boyfriends sure talk tough.”
“Lin Li has a boyfriend?” Ning Chu blinked.
“Yeah. I’ve seen him a few times. He’s still in high school~ Scrawny little bookworm. No idea what Lin Li sees in him. Classic older-woman-eats-younger-guy situation.”
Ning Chu’s gossip radar instantly exploded.
Holy crap!
She could not picture a statuesque 170cm+ long-legged foxy onee-san dating a nerdy little high-school boy.
Even Lily stopped playing and looked at Yan Xinya with Ning Chu, the two of them staring with shining eyes.
But Lin Li returned from the bathroom just then.
“What are you talking about?”
Yan Xinya reacted instantly and pointed at the screen.
“Lin Li, why do anime girls always have such big boobs? It’s kind of an eyesore, isn’t it?”
“Probably because… men like big ones?”
Ning Chu immediately straightened her back and subtly glanced at Lin Li’s chest.
Not bad—at least visually, Lin Li wasn’t bigger than her.
Well, Ning Chu was overall smaller and more petite, after all~
Lin Li noticed her posture and muttered with a mix of envy and irritation:
“Growing that big… shameless… Wait, what the hell? Why do you have horns?!”
“Toy ones. Just for fun.”
Although Lin Li already knew Ning Chu was a girl, she did not know Ning Chu was a succubus.
Otherwise, with her big mouth and talent for creating rumors, the news would’ve spread across campus long ago.
Seeing Lin Li staring suspiciously at her, Ning Chu pointed at Lily’s decorative horns.
“Cute, right? Want to buy one too?”
Lily tilted her chin, cooperating perfectly.
“Cute.”
“Childish!”
Yes—worked like a charm.
Since she had an excuse about accessories, Lin Li didn’t dig deeper and didn’t question anything further.
