099. So Awkward
1/24
“I’m going to grab some breakfast.”
As the four of them passed by the cafeteria, Ning Chu stopped and glanced at the time. “You guys go ahead to class.”
Wen Yang nodded, “Yeah, you two head to class first.”
“Then bring me back a Coke.”
Watching them walk away, Ning Chu finally turned her head and rolled her eyes at Wen Yang, making her way toward the public restroom not far away.
Wen Yang followed closely behind, asking, “Does your stomach still hurt today?”
“Not really…”
“How often do you need to change it?”
“How would I know?”
Ning Chu shot him another exasperated eye-roll. “Why are you always following me around?”
“What if a girl comes to hit on me when you’re gone?”
So you’re hitting on me instead?
Before, Wen Yang had managed to play it cool, even if he had feelings for Ning Chu, he kept it subtle considering her gender. But now that he knew she was a girl—boy, was he having a hard time hiding it!
Ning Chu pursed her lips, feeling nauseated at the thought of being liked by a guy.
But with Wen Yang’s main character aura in tow, at least she didn’t have to worry about any sudden emergencies in the restroom.
After all, the restroom was also a hotspot for Little Emperor Wen content.
Arriving at the public restroom near the cafeteria, Ning Chu felt the sanitary napkin in her pocket and headed straight into the men’s restroom.
“Wait… what?”
“What what?”
Ning Chu replied casually, then looked up to find a student staring at her, slack-jawed.
“…”
“Dude,” she explained matter-of-factly before diving into a stall.
Wen Yang sighed heavily.
How did it feel like Ning Chu had been in the boys’ dormitory for too long and lost touch with reality?
What kind of girl casually changes her sanitary napkin in the men’s restroom?
“Bro, is that a girl?” the bewildered student asked, still staring.
Wen Yang nodded, “Yeah.”
“She’s prettier than a girl…”
Not adept at changing her sanitary napkin, and looking all jittery, Ning Chu was scared to even touch her new accessories. Ever since she transformed into a girl, she hadn’t even dared to take a shower, afraid to see her entirely feminine body.
She had read gender-bender stories before, where the transformed girls played with their new “parts” without a second thought, giving their pals a quick thrill.
But for Ning Chu, now being a girl, her brain just wouldn’t cooperate when it came to that stuff.
All she felt was bl**d and discomfort.
Tossing the sanitary napkin into the trash, she was about to leave when a thought hit her.
What if the next guy who comes in finds the sanitary napkin…?
Imagining that situation made her face turn bright red.
How careless! She should’ve gone to the women’s restroom, but she worried about classmates spotting her and revealing her gender. Even if it didn’t expose her gender, being mistaken for a weirdo casually using the women’s restroom because she looked feminine didn’t seem like a great outcome either.
Blushing, she pulled out a big chunk of toilet paper and tossed it in the trash to cover the napkin, finally letting out a sigh of relief. She opened the stall door to leave, only to find Wen Yang was in there too.
Curiosity got the better of her once again.
She peeked in, tiptoeing to sneak a glance under the partition.
“Hmm?” Wen Yang heard some noise, turning just in time to see Ning Chu’s curious and fearful expression.
He froze for a moment, fumbling to pull up his pants. “Can you not be so nosy?!”
“…….”
Ning Chu didn’t respond, hastily walking out of the restroom.
She confirmed it—despite being the female supporting character, she probably wasn’t going to last long with Wen Yang’s obsessive vibes!
“Hey, why does it feel like I’m the one who did something wrong for peeping at you?”
“Pervert!”
“???”
Ning Chu and Wen Yang almost synchronized their entrance into the classroom.
“Ning Chu~”
As soon as they walked in, Yan Xinya skipped over, gleefully launching herself onto Ning Chu. Her big fluffy tail wagged side to side, looking like a golden retriever welcoming its owner home.
Ning Chu realized this wolf girl was pretty awkward as well.
Gazing up at Yan Xinya’s expectant face, she glanced down at the rapidly wagging tail.
Uh, that’s definitely a dog—where’s the wolf in that?
Even though she was now a girl, she had never had any intimate experiences with other girls and awkwardly brushed aside Yan Xinya’s arm that was around her.
“What’s up?”
“Let’s go to class together!”
“???”
Are we that close?
Quickly, Yan Xinya pressed against her again, sniffing Ning Chu’s face affectionately.
Ning Chu’s face turned a shade of crimson; the close contact didn’t lead her to any wild thoughts but made her feel a bit uneasy, and she took a step back. Even though she often mocked Wen Yang for being a timid little virgin who was inexperienced, she too was almost on the same level!
Luckily, Wen Yang positioned himself between the two.
“Cut it out; it’s time for class.”
Seizing the opportunity, Ning Chu hurriedly shrugged off Yan Xinya and scanned the room, finding her roommate who had already claimed a spot and plopped down next to Zhang Shaoqing.
“Hey, is that wolf girl into you or something?” Zhang Shaoqing grinned playfully, inching closer. “She seems really keen on you~ why don’t you make a move?”
“She’s pretty cute too~ but you two together look a bit… well, you know.”
Ning Chu shot him a disdainful look. “Not interested.”
Before transforming, she’d already lost interest in girls since her “little buddy” wasn’t in the game, and her mind was filled with random thoughts.
And now, she didn’t even have that little buddy!
Wen Yang settled next to Ning Chu, but soon enough, Yan Xinya plopped down too, grinning at Ning Chu with a sweet smile over Wen Yang.
For once, with a girl next to Wen Yang, Ning Chu didn’t stop it.
But she couldn’t help casting a worried glance at Wen Yang. This guy seemed to have completely dropped the act.
He showed no attempts to hide his affection for her, and whether she was talking to guys or girls, he had a jealous face on, clearly contemplating how to claim her as his girlfriend.
A shiver ran down her spine, thinking about that size…
Looks like she really needed to run away—yet being away from Wen Yang brought her a different kind of panic. Even if there weren’t abnormal tentacle monsters lurking around, with her mindset, she couldn’t help but feel like she was going to drive herself into some psychological issue.
Ning Chu slumped over the desk, glancing at the teacher who had just walked in and was setting up to call the roll.
“Ning Chu~ Ning Chu~” Yan Xinya snuck around, even though she was the class monitor, she couldn’t sit still during class. Leaning over the desk in front of Wen Yang, she lightly poked Ning Chu’s arm, “Are you not wearing a bra?”
Though her voice was low, Wen Yang, trapped in the middle, heard it loud and clear.
Ning Chu shot a glare at the wolf girl, “I’m a dude; why would I wear a bra?”
“Isn’t that just going commando then?”
“……”
“So awkward~!”
