Movie
After getting a manicure, Ning Chu was undeniably in a much better mood.
The tip of her tail swayed happily beneath her skirt as she skipped along, eyes sparkling with joy and her brows arched in delight.
She couldn’t help but stroke her shiny nails with her thumb, relishing the smooth texture. Glancing at the lovely sheen of her bright pink polish, she would deliberately stroke Wen Yang’s palm with her fingertips while they held hands.
“Stop it, it tickles!”
“Look at my nails~”
“They’re pretty, they’re pretty.”
“Told you this color was nice!”
Even back when she was a man, Ning Chu had no resistance to beautiful and cute things. But at that time, she kept it all bottled up due to her masculine pride. Now, however, she was a fully-fledged girl.
Though technically a not-so-serious succubus…
She could dress as she pleased—whether it was pretty, sexy, or flamboyant clothing. With her current figure and looks, as long as she didn’t overstep societal norms, she could pull off almost anything.
Men had nice clothes too, but they definitely weren’t mainstream. Wear a pink shirt and you could attract some very strange stares.
Now, however, everyone looked at her with admiration and envy.
As she adapted more and more to the life of a pretty girl, one thought lingered in Ning Chu’s mind:
If only I didn’t have to get pregnant and have kids…
She’d heard it was painful, and nine months of pregnancy could ruin your figure.
Then she remembered she used to be a man, which made her even more averse to the thought of pregnancy.
That would definitely be the end of femininity! There’s no way that’s happening to her!
After a scare from once, Ning Chu was now extra cautious about safety precautions. Last night at the hotel, even without the right kind of protection from Wen Yang, she’d swallowed a morning-after pill the moment she could.
Yep, from now on, she needed to always keep Wen Yang’s ‘gear’ handy in her mini-bag.
“Wen Yang, if I decide I don’t want to have kids in the future…” After swirling around her messy thoughts, Ning Chu eagerly sought Wen Yang’s input.
Wen Yang shrugged, “Then don’t.”
He wasn’t interested in carrying on the family line; heaven knows how long it’s been since he visited his long-deceased parents.
“Yeah!”
Ning Chu nodded vigorously.
They reached an understanding! No kids in the future!
“I hate kids! They’re all so annoying!” She frowned, visibly reluctant. “What if they turn out just like me? I’d be driven insane!”
“That’s a bit harsh, it didn’t k*ll your aunt, did it?”
“That’s because my mom was hands-off~ She was usually working.”
Wen Yang chuckled, nodding, “Sure, don’t have kids.”
“Exactly! Kids are a nightmare! Even Black Bean, as obedient as she is, drives my mom crazy! She calls me to complain every few days~”
Ning Chu never liked kids, but Black Bean was cute with her cat ears and tail, and her good behavior made her a bit more tolerable.
Aside from Black Bean, she had nothing but disdain for little brats!
As they walked along, Ning Chu’s attention was quickly diverted to a clothing store by the roadside, her big eyes glimmering as she spotted pretty outfits in the window.
“I feel like I barely have any summer clothes.”
She only had a handful of summer outfits; Wen Yang had gifted her a JK uniform, and after she became a girl, her mom had bought her two more when she returned home. That was it.
“Want to buy it? I think that one looks great.”
“Is that a strappy short skirt~? Isn’t it a bit too revealing?”
“Is it?”
She imagined herself in the strappy short skirt, unconsciously picturing a flash of northern hemisphere, and her delicate cheeks quickly flushed.
Although fashion was more open and bold in this parallel world, she still hadn’t fully blended in, even as a succubus.
It was like how, despite witnessing couples making out all over school, she had no intention of “going with the flow.”
“Then wear it at home for me?” Wen Yang leaned down, teasingly whispering in the little succubus’s ear.
“Why not just wear lingerie instead~”
Ning Chu mumbled, dragging Wen Yang toward the mall. “Let’s go watch a movie; summer is still a ways off, no rush on clothes.”
“Alright, what do you want to watch?”
“I’ve already decided! A horror movie!”
“???”
Wen Yang’s lips twitched, a question mark popping up over his head. “Aren’t you usually not into horror films?”
After several rounds of testing, he had discovered that Ning Chu had a much bigger tolerance for scary stuff than him; whether it was horror movies or games, she seemed unfazed.
“Online said it’s super scary! Come watch it with me~ It’s going to be thrilling~”
“I believe it’s thrilling.” He sighed, feeling somewhat resigned. “Guess I’m sacrificing my life for a lady.”
“Stop acting like you’re dying~” Ning Chu giggled and poked his cheek. “You’re a big man! What’s there to fear?”
“……”
In the end, Wen Yang followed Ning Chu into the horror movie screening.
Although praised online, this horror film had a pitiful number of showings, and there were only seven or eight people in the entire theater. Ning Chu and Wen Yang settled into the back row, free from interruptions.
This allowed Ning Chu to let her tail peek out from beneath her skirt, her feet delightfully resting on Wen Yang’s thigh, leaning back in a half-lying position, comfortably lounging while holding a bucket of popcorn.
As the movie began, eerie background music surrounded them. Wen Yang’s expression grew tense, and giving a side glance at Ning Chu, he found her munching like a hamster, her cheeks stuffed to the brim.
He couldn’t fathom why this girl enjoyed horror films.
The film opened with a jump scare that sent a jolt through the audience, immediately immersing them in the film’s atmosphere.
Ning Chu perked up, straightening her posture and focusing intently on the screen. But as the plot thickened and the terror ramped up, she unconsciously leaned in, instinctively clutching Wen Yang’s arm, her shoulders trembling lightly.
“What’s wrong?”
“So scary…”
“……”
Wen Yang’s complexion paled slightly; even though he dared not look at the screen, feeling the soft, trembling body in his arms sparked an unexpected courage within him. He spoke firmly to reassure her, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
At that moment, he felt like a true savior to Ning Chu!
“Mm~”
Ning Chu buried her face in Wen Yang’s chest, getting her hair gently stroked, which only made her tremble more.
“Ah!!!”
Wen Yang winced as the sudden scream resonated painfully in his ears.
If nothing had gone wrong, it was the girl in the front row who screamed first, and only after that did Ning Chu belatedly join in with a cry.
He was scared too, yet had to maintain a facade of calm, pulling Ning Chu closer out of concern.
Poor kid was startled and took a moment to react…
Ning Chu figured out why girls were such scaredy-cats.
Especially when there was a guy around.
She giggled inwardly, but kept up the act, peeking at the screen with an expression of wanting to watch but also being too afraid. Now and then she would scream and bury her face into Wen Yang’s embrace, relishing his comforting presence.
By the end of the movie, Wen Yang felt like he’d gone deaf.
