305. Ning Chu’s Little Secret
“It’s over….”
When the gathering ended and Ning Chu returned to her rental apartment, she suddenly realized that her first semester of freshman year was already over.
Just four short months, yet it felt like a lifetime… Four months ago, she was in another world, squatting in her rental apartment, running all over the city for job interviews.
Yep, it really was like two different lifetimes.
She took off her trench coat, plopped down on the edge of her bed, stretched, then lay back on her bed.
“I think Shao Qing definitely won’t be able to get a girl this time,” she said, glancing at Wen Yang, who was packing his luggage.
“I wouldn’t say that,” Wen Yang replied, stuffing clothes into the suitcase. “With his conditions, as long as he’s willing to pursue, he should be able to get someone.”
“Isn’t it just because he’s rich?” Ning Chu mumbled enviously, turning onto her side. “I thought during dinner, they seemed to have made some progress, even though it didn’t look like she liked Shao Qing at all.”
“Everything starts off hard.”
She looked at Wen Yang and changed the topic, “Do you think we should terminate this lease?”
“Save some money by terminating?”
“But we just paid the rent two weeks ago! There’s no way the landlord would return half, right? If he doesn’t keep our deposit, we’ll be lucky.” She was rather attached to this rental apartment. After living here for a few months, she had gotten used to it.
“I think the landlord is pretty reasonable.”
She snorted. “You’ve never rented a place before, have you?”
In her previous life, Ning Chu had rented a few places, and not one landlord ever gave back the deposit without a fuss.
No matter how clean and tidy everything was left, landlords always found some fault, trying to hold onto the deposit.
She had prepared herself for the fact that she wouldn’t get her deposit back this time, but fortunately, it wasn’t a huge amount.
“Well, if we terminate the lease, I’ll have to find a new place again when school starts next semester. That’s a hassle.”
Wen Yang didn’t seem to mind much; he mostly went along with Ning Chu’s wishes. “Alright, it’s up to you.”
“So we just need to pack a few clothes then?”
“Yeah, that way we won’t have to deal with moving a lot.”
After a big meal, Ning Chu felt a bit sleepy, lazily reclining on her bed, reluctant to move. But after a moment, she forced herself to perk up, rubbed her shoulders, and headed to her desk.
If she wanted to make money writing online novels, the hardest part was updating every day.
Three hundred sixty-five days a year, no breaks—whether she was sick or busy, she had to update as much as possible.
“That’s so annoying~ I don’t want to write.” Ning Chu sighed dramatically as she sat in front of her computer, opened the document, and found her mind blank. “I have no idea what to write…”
Mentioning novels, Wen Yang paused for a moment.
After a moment of consideration, he tentatively asked, “Are you really close with Teacher Qian?”
“No, I’ve never even talked to her.”
Ning Chu leaned over her desk, staring blankly at the empty document as her brain strained to come up with what this chapter should be about.
“How do you know her interests and what kind of people she likes then?”
“…….”
Her expression stiffened, and she realized she had misspoken.
Fortunately, she was already used to babbling nonsense and quickly chattered, “I heard it from Xinya. Didn’t she get close to her? She spills the tea to me.”
“That makes sense.”
“Now shut up! I’m trying to focus on writing! No interruptions!”
She easily brushed it off!
Ning Chu dared not let Wen Yang know that he was actually the male protagonist in her little emperor’s novel. God knows what kind of worldview-shattering implications that would have!
In her mind, she secretly congratulated herself while pretending to concentrate on writing, but her guilty eyes kept drifting over to Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was squatting next to the wardrobe, with two large suitcases opened in front of him, packing clothes.
Most of it was Ning Chu’s clothing. Although she wasn’t keen on shopping, her mother had bought her quite a few girl’s outfits after finding out she had become a girl.
Then she watched as Wen Yang opened the wardrobe drawers and pulled out her stockings, underwear…
Even though they had done more intimate things already and Wen Yang had probably seen her underwear countless times, she still felt flustered, her face burning.
Until he pulled out a black lace piece: “You have this kind of underwear? I’ve never seen you wear it.”
“Put that down! I’ll pack it myself later!”
He looked up at Ning Chu’s flushed face, then looked back down and spotted an unopened box in the depths of the drawer.
“I can handle it myself!”
Ning Chu stood up urgently, but Wen Yang had already pulled out the box.
When the sheer lingerie package was exposed to the air, her footsteps froze.
What the hell was I thinking buying this kind of stuff?!
As a little emperor’s novel author, it was normal for her to sometimes buy such things because of her fascination with the yellowish frivolity, right?
And besides, she was still a succubus now!
“I’ve never seen you wear this either.” Wen Yang’s tone now had a teasing and expectant inflection.
“I… just thought it looked pretty and bought it for fun.”
“Since you bought it, not wearing it would be a waste.”
Ning Chu’s gaze kept darting away, completely unable to meet Wen Yang’s heated gaze. “It’s cold… I’ll wait until it gets warmer.”
“Look what I found!”
She instinctively turned her head to see Wen Yang holding a plug-in fox tail.
Wait! I have this kind of thing?!
It’s a plug-in!
She froze for a moment, couldn’t help but hurriedly step forward to snatch the fox tail from him. “That came free with the lingerie! How could I use this when I already have my own tail?!”
The heart-shaped tail behind her was taut with tension, just like her nerves.
“Go focus on your stuff! I’ll handle my clothes!”
“Or why don’t you try it on tonight?” Wen Yang said, holding up the box.
“……”
To be honest, Ning Chu felt a bit tempted.
She hadn’t tried it on since buying it…
But she was worried that the combination of succubus powers and sensual lingerie would lead Wen Yang to throw her down right there and then.
“Since I bought it, it’d be a waste not to wear it.”
“Anyway, it’s not expensive…”
“True, I heard they’re disposable.”
“!!!”
Wen Yang patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of guy who gets too carried away.”
Ning Chu’s ears turned red, her eyes downcast as she mumbled, “Well, maybe I’ll give it a try?”
She took the box and darted into the bathroom.
Not long after, she opened the bathroom door a crack and peeked out.
“What’s there to be shy about?” Wen Yang said with a prim expression. “I’m not going to bite you, am I?”
He turned to see the little succubus, head bowed, nervously tugging at the hem of her skirt as she stepped out of the bathroom.
The semi-transparent short skirt let her figure shimmer in and out of view, imbued with a hazy beauty and charm, while the underwear resembled mere scraps of fabric that could hardly hide anything, especially not from Wen Yang’s scorching gaze.
Ning Chu couldn’t lift her head.
Fortunately, there was still a layer of sheer fabric in her short skirt; at least she was wearing something, which was better than nothing.
“I… still need to write later…”
Wen Yang stood up and sat at the computer, patting his legs. “Then come sit on my lap and write. I’ll keep you warm.”
Ning Chu sneaked a glance at Wen Yang’s thighs, not daring to linger on the sight.
How could she possibly sit there? That’d be so uncomfortable!
She could already foresee another night of sore cheeks ahead.
Possibly swollen thighs from sitting uncomfortably…
As long as she didn’t get cold, she figured it’d be fine.
