"Morning, Ning Chu~!"
She had barely stepped into the classroom when a lively greeting rang out.
Looking up, she was immediately tackled into a hug by a large, energetic "dog" rubbing its face affectionately against hers.
"...…"
Is this just how dogs say hello?
Ning Chu had long since gotten used to this. With a resigned expression, she pushed Yan Xinya’s face away, distorting it slightly with her hand.
"Cut it out, people are watching."
It was embarrassing.
The entire class had already arrived, sitting in the tiered lecture-style seating, watching them from above.
Thankfully, the teacher hadn’t arrived yet.With Yan Xinya still clinging to her arm, Ning Chu made her way to the front row, sitting down beside Wen Yang. She nodded at Lily next to them in greeting.
From the other side of the row, Zhang Shaoqing excitedly leaned forward, tapping his desk and loudly announcing, "Wen Yang didn’t come home last night! He stayed out all night with his girlfriend!"
"He got himself a girlfriend in just two days over the weekend! Her name is Wen Wen!"
Ning Chu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and simply nodded.
This guy had been acting all buddy-buddy with Wen Yang yesterday, playing the role of a great wingman. Now, he was stirring the pot like a gossipmonger. Who knew what went on in his head?
"Hey, why does your hairstyle look just like Wen Wen’s?"
Ning Chu froze for a moment and instinctively reached up to touch her hair.
She had gotten it trimmed at a salon, but it hadn’t been cut too short. Her mother had hoped she’d grow out a nice, long hairstyle. Ning Chu didn’t really care either way—honestly, she found her current length a bit too long.
But she had overlooked this minor detail, and now Zhang Shaoqing had caught onto it…
"Does it?" she responded calmly, lowering her head slightly.
It was fine. Last night, since she had worn women's clothes, her mother had clipped her hair in place with a few hairpins before she left. But now, she had let it down naturally.
Maybe Zhang Shaoqing had noticed the slight difference, as he didn’t press the issue. Instead, he asked another question, "Didn’t you stay in Yan Xinya’s dorm last night? Why didn’t you come to class with them?"
"Ning Chu slept in this morning~" Yan Xinya answered cheerfully on her behalf.
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Shaoqing thought it over. While Ning Chu did resemble Wen Wen, especially in the eyes, the idea that she was actually Wen Wen and dating Wen Yang seemed far-fetched.
"What’s with him?" Wen Yang muttered under his breath. But as soon as the teacher walked in, he immediately focused on class, shutting out all distractions.
Although Ning Chu had managed to brush off Zhang Shaoqing, Yan Xinya leaned in again, her expression gleeful.
"You two are already living together~! As expected of a succubus~"
"What living together?" Ning Chu denied it without hesitation. "He was just helping me clean up."
"Then last night—"
Of course, she wasn’t about to admit that they had actually slept together last night.
"Wen Yang slept on the couch."
"I don’t believe you!"
Ning Chu yawned, resting her head on her arms on the desk, her gaze drifting toward the teacher taking attendance at the front.
She had gone to bed too late last night, leaving her groggy this morning. Fortunately, Wen Yang’s embrace had been quite comfortable…
When she was younger, she used to sleep with her brother, always using his arm as a pillow. That was fine when they were little, but as they grew up, he started complaining about it.
Her drowsiness had almost won out—until Wen Yang had grabbed her tail, snapping her wide awake again.
The wolf girl beside her sidled up even closer.
"Did you two do something naughty last night~?"
"Don't be such a perv..."
"Tch~ I'm just looking out for you! I'm worried you're giving yourself away too easily!" Yan Xinya muttered. "If you hand yourself over too soon, men won’t cherish you."
"......"
Ha—there weren't many women who understood men better than she did.
Ning Chu scoffed inwardly, especially when it came to timid little virgins like Wen Yang. She knew his type far too well.
After all, back when she was dating, she had once spent an entire night sleeping beside her girlfriend—without doing anything.
And looking at Wen Yang now, she could see a reflection of her past self. Thinking back on it now, she could only regretfully slap her thigh in frustration.
Her one chance for that experience—completely wasted!
And now she has turned into a girl! She hadn't even properly enjoyed being a man yet!
"Want to check out your rental at noon?" Yan Xinya asked.
"Yeah, I have a lot of stuff to move in."
Lily, sitting nearby, kept peeking over at them, her usual cold and aloof expression clashing adorably with her obvious nosy curiosity.
When she noticed Ning Chu looking her way, she quickly picked up her phone and pointed at it.
Ning Chu's stomach dropped.
This succubus never held back in online conversations—she was always steering the topic straight into explicit territory, without even touching the brakes.
Still, Ning Chu lowered her head and glanced at her phone.
Lily had sent the message to her main account—the one linked to Wen Yang’s.
A little guilty, Ning Chu snuck a glance at Wen Yang. Hopefully, he wasn’t peeking at her messages again... They had been using linked accounts for so long, yet she was the one constantly on edge, while Wen Yang had never shown any suspicious conversations with other girls.
"Be sure to stay safe! Check out this brand of condoms! Ribbed for extra stimulation! Give us a review!"
Yep. Straight into that lane again.
And she had definitely sent it to her main account on purpose—just so Wen Yang would see it.
"Go test it yourself with your toys!"
Ning Chu shot Lily an exasperated glare. That ice queen mask she wore was completely deceiving—inside, she was pure filth.
She lowered her gaze again, only to see another message from Lily.
"What do you think of this spiked condom? Looks exciting, doesn’t it?"
"......"
Wen Yang was already the protagonist of a hentai world—his ‘weapon’ was already beyond what an ordinary girl could handle, and now she wanted to upgrade him with technology?!
Ning Chu didn't reply. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she buried her face in her arms, feeling the heat rise.
She knew Lily had no limits online, but even so... sometimes, she really couldn’t handle it.
"By the way, Ning Chu."
Wen Yang had been listening to the lecture, but suddenly remembered something and turned to her.
"Hmm?"
"The counselor sent a notice. The school is organizing a health checkup this week."
Another checkup?
Just hearing the word made Ning Chu anxious. She had just gone for a medical checkup with her family a few days ago, and she'd nearly cried when they drew her blood.
It wasn’t the pain—it was the needles. She got dizzy just looking at them.
Not to mention, school checkups usually included a physical exam, right?
Lying down in front of everyone, having the doctor press on her stomach and chest…
If she wore a bra, it might expose her secret. If she didn’t wear one, well—her figure was a little too obvious now.
"Ugh..." Ning Chu groaned. "I just had a checkup the other day. I’m perfectly healthy."
"Checkup?"
She usually kept private conversations to hushed whispers, but this time, her voice wasn’t particularly low—so Zhang Shaoqing, sitting not far away, heard everything loud and clear.
"Does that mean we get to skip class? Nice!"
She ignored him and turned to Yan Xinya for advice. This mastermind always had ideas.
The wolf girl thought for a moment, then leaned in close and whispered, "Just go with me during the checkup~ You're a girl anyway."
"The doctor isn't stupid..."
"Just leave the gender section blank on the form, duh~!"
Ning Chu frowned. "And if a classmate finds out...?"
"Don't panic~ Let's wait and see how the school organizes the checkup first. Then we’ll figure it out!"
