Chapter 63: The Cunning Peach!
In the chaos of the underwear theft incident in the girls’ dormitory, it turned out to be the work of a teddy bear.
No wonder the surveillance cameras clearly captured the moment the underwear went missing but never offered any clues. After all, a little black dog, hiding under the night sky and the bushes outside the balcony, would naturally avoid being caught on camera.
At least the pervert problem has been resolved, so now they could live peacefully in the girls’ dorm without worrying about lambs wandering into the tiger’s den.
Ning Chu walked into the room, her curiosity piqued as she watched Yan Xinya grooming her tail.
Lily said her “heat” period started…
Beast Ear girls indeed have a fairly predictable heat cycle. According to the book’s setting, during winter or spring, they become more sensitive, their attraction to the opposite s*x spikes, and their reproductive urges intensify… but it doesn’t lead to that wild, uncontrollable behavior typical of succubi.
Since they also have “human” traits, when it comes to certain… activities, Beast Ear girls are usually on par with regular folks year-round, except their heat pushes them toward their urges more aggressively.
So, to sum it up…
The dorm now housed two succubi who might turn mushy at any moment, and a seemingly normal little female wolf, who was actually oozing with strong reproductive desires.
Truly, a testament to the world of Little Emperor Wen~
Ning Chu’s gaze kept drifting back to Yan Xinya.
“What’re you staring at?” the Wolf Girl blushed and turned away, clearly flustered.
What’s up with her?
Just as she was pondering, a message popped up from Lily on her newly registered phone number.
“It’s because of her heat period that the teddy bear keeps stealing her underwear!”
Oh~ no wonder!
Ning Chu finally connected the dots, turning to Lily’s expressionless face and then back to Yan Xinya’s crimson, furious cheeks, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Still laughing?!”
“No, is there a cleaning cloth? I need to tidy up my bed.”
She straightened her face and turned to Lily.
“Here,” Lily pointed to the rag on the windowsill.
The vacant wooden bed was covered in a layer of fine dust, while the desk was crammed with personal belongings from other girls, and the wardrobe and bookshelf were entirely empty.
This was Ling Ling’s spot, who, rumor had it, moved out to rent an apartment with her boyfriend and never came back.
Poor Zhang Shaoqing…
Ning Chu found herself feeling sympathetic for her “son.” But that’s not her problem; this subplot definitely wasn’t in the book.
Kneeling at the bed’s edge with the cloth, she wiped off the dust while addressing the two below, “You guys better clean off the stuff on the desk too.”
“Okay.”
Yan Xinya’s embarrassment faded as fast as it appeared, and she was back to her vibrant self.
She quickly gathered her things but suddenly raised her head to ask, “By the way, aren’t you enemies with Lin Li?”
“Eh?”
“Last time at the class dinner, she was trying to steal your man! You guys living together won’t end up fighting, right?”
Lin Li also lived in this dorm but usually only returned at night.
“Steal my man…?” Ning Chu bit her lip, feeling a bit flustered. “I don’t think we’d fight or anything.”
“Well, she’s not around during the day, anyway.”
“Yeah.”
Having cleaned up her side of the room, she put away her luggage, and it was approaching class time.
Yan Xinya threw her arm around Ning Chu’s, seemingly oblivious to how her softness was pressing against Ning Chu’s arm, pulling her out the door like affectionate sisters.
Ning Chu was already used to the Wolf Girl’s closeness and had become comfortable with intimate interactions with girls. Having given up on her “male” self, her heart was as calm as a lake, without any scandalous thoughts whatsoever.
Lily followed silently behind, and upon stepping outside, the shy little succubus turned into a silent ice queen.
“Hey? Isn’t that Ning Chu? What’s she doing here?”
Once class time arrived, the dorm building buzzed to life, with students filling the halls. Ning Chu inevitably bumped into some classmates.
“Isn’t she a girl? That’s perfectly normal.”
“She must be a guy!”
A few confused bystanders whispered amongst themselves.
Ning Chu awkwardly looked down, too shy to meet the girls’ gazes, her heart racing with anxiety at the thought of someone tipping off the dorm supervisor.
“They’re not going to kick me out, right?”
“That’s hard to say~”
“Eh?”
Yan Xinya turned to her with a mischievous smile: “How about next time you just dress as a girl when you come and go? That way, you’ll definitely be fine.”
“……”
To be honest, Ning Chu’s aversion to cross-dressing had waned; after all, her mental state had gradually sank… After several public incidents, her limits had lowered significantly.
Yet, most classmates still saw her as male, and that cheeky Zhang Shaoqing would never let her live it down if he saw her in girl’s clothes.
When they arrived in the classroom, Ning Chu quickly spotted Wen Yang sitting in the front row, quietly memorizing vocabulary.
At the same time, she noticed Qiao Qiao, the catgirl, perched in the back corner, gazing longingly at Wen Yang.
“Isn’t she from another class?!” she eyed the catgirl suspiciously.
Though she didn’t want to face consequences, she certainly didn’t want a flirt hanging around her man!
“Is it wrong to audit a class when there’s no schedule?” Yan Xinya turned to her. “Jealous?”
“Not at all.”
“Then why do you care so much about her?” the Wolf Girl shot her a glance. “You talk more than a platypus.”
“……”
“Wen Yang~” Yan Xinya dragged Ning Chu and Lily over to sit next to him.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shaoqing poked his head over, eyes gleaming with curiosity, obviously wanting to ask Ning Chu about her experiences living in the girls’ dormitory.
However, Ning Chu ignored him, leaned closer to Wen Yang, and whispered, “Did Qiao Qiao bother you again?”
“Not really, she was already sitting in the back when I got here,” Wen Yang shrugged helplessly. “She hasn’t spoken to me at all.”
Oh really…
A high-ranking cunning peach!
Ning Chu frowned; this was just the beginning. How would she deal with more female characters when they showed up?
The ideal scenario would be for her to hide in the dorm or the restroom, allowing Wen Yang to handle the plot alone, thus avoiding any potential social embarrassment.
But the feasibility was pretty low…
Ning Chu leaned in closer to Wen Yang, whispering delicately, “After class, you should go find Qiao Qiao.”
The moist breath brushed against Wen Yang’s ear, giving it a faint blush.
He pulled his coat down nervously. “And then?”
“Then, of course, reject her decisively and cut all ties cleanly.”
At that point, Ning Chu could sneak back to the dorm or find a bathroom to hide out and endure her punishment in peace.
“Be tough! Directly scold her!”
“But…” Wen Yang turned back to glance at Qiao Qiao’s cute, doll-like face, imagining what Ning Chu suggested felt like bullying a little girl.
“No ‘buts’ about it!”
No wonder Qiao Qiao’s storyline hadn’t been resolved yet; it wasn’t just that the catgirl was cunning; even Wen Yang found it hard to be harsh with a young girl like her.
