415. A Strange Sense of Competition
5/12
I have to say, Wen Yang has a strong ability to learn.
While watching a tutorial on his computer, he followed the steps to style Ning Chu’s hair. It didn’t take long before a bun that looked almost identical to the one in the video appeared at the back of her head.
But sadly, the horns were sticking out on the sides…
“Maybe I need to make two buns on the sides? It doesn’t look good, does it?” Ning Chu glanced at the mirror, seeing two little horns awkwardly protruding from her head, mumbling, “I thought it would turn out like an ancient hairdo~”
“Your hair is a bit too short and thin for that.”
Even with the simple trims she got at the salon, after half a year, Ning Chu’s hair only reached her shoulders.
That was already considered fast growth.
She sighed in distress, “It’s so awkward; it looks terrible.”
Those tiny, half-formed horns sticking out made her look quite peculiar and very noticeable.
Maybe they could just continue role-playing and finish the remaining plotlines with the sisters all in one day? Who knows, by tomorrow, her horns might have transformed into full coconut-sheep horns…
If all else fails, she could act out all the untriggered plots!
But the little succubus probably wouldn’t survive that! If they came back a few more times, the male lead would definitely need a break!
After playing the role of the sister just yesterday, she already felt like her bones were about to crumble.
“Maybe I should just wear a hat?” Ning Chu muttered as she put on a baseball cap.
The cap got lifted a bit by the horns, barely resting on her head, swaying like it could fall off any moment.
“How about a knitted hat instead? That might fit better,” Wen Yang suggested. “You can wear it loosely, and it won’t fall off easily, plus it keeps you warm.”
“I don’t have one at home~ A coat with a hood should be fine, right?”
“I do! I restocked yesterday.”
Wen Yang stood up and opened his luggage, which was stuffed to the brim with his new supplies from the day before. After searching for a moment, he pulled out a white knitted hat, complete with a fluffy pom-pom.
“Give it a try?”
“Um…”
Ning Chu put the hat on her head and continued to examine herself in the mirror.
She actually looked a lot better; if you didn’t look closely, you could barely notice the tiny bumps at the sides of the hat.
But the horns were quite sensitive, and the hat provided a strange, wrapped feeling against them.
God knows why succubus horns have nerve endings… They should be like fingernails, so you wouldn’t feel pain at all.
This is what it’s like to be a succubus~
After lunch, she had spent a few hours resting, and her body was feeling a lot better; at least she could walk without limping.
If it were an ordinary girl, she would’ve been totally wiped out by now.
But this weekend, Ning Chu didn’t feel like going out with Wen Yang; part of it was feeling unwell, and part of it was the horns making her too self-conscious to step outside.
With the hat on, she obediently sat in front of her desk, typing away.
“By the way, you can select your elective courses on the official website now,” Wen Yang reminded her. “Are you still planning to sign up for yoga?”
“Yep, yoga.”
After all, with Wen Yang’s enthusiasm, Ning Chu was afraid of getting a ligament injury.
And she didn’t even notice the pain herself, turning it instead into a sense of enjoyment.
Better to practice yoga, improve her flexibility, so Wen Yang didn’t end up pulling her limbs apart.
Plus, she could unlock some new poses~
“I already bought the yoga clothes; they should’ve arrived by now.” Ning Chu opened the school website and stared blankly at the login screen. “What was my password again?”
She hadn’t logged in for so long that she completely forgot her password.
“Try your commonly used password first?” Wen Yang suggested, bending over to peek at her screen.
“I’ve tried that already…”
Ning Chu grimaced, trying and failing repeatedly with all the passwords she could think of.
Wen Yang chimed in with suggestions: “Birthday? Phone number? Your name?”
“Nope…”
After a few minutes, she had to resort to the “forgot password” option, only to find that the school’s academic system was about as useful as a rock; it didn’t even offer that function. Forgetting your password meant you had to deal with the academic affairs office or the instructor.
And since it was the weekend, the office surely wouldn’t be open.
Ah, that female ghost…
Although she had resolved the plot with An An the ghost, Ning Chu still didn’t want to deal with a ghost.
She texted An An nervously: “Please don’t let all the classes fill up before I can enroll, leaving only the toughest ones behind.”
“If that happens, I’ll join you,” An An replied.
Ning Chu sighed and glanced at Wen Yang.
At that moment, he was leaning over the desk, completely oblivious, and there it was—an opening!
Take that for disturbing me last night!
Ning Chu’s eyes lit up as she quickly jumped up, wrapping her arms around Wen Yang’s neck tightly, pushing him down. Simultaneously, she kicked toward his legs.
But nothing happened…
Wen Yang just chuckled, “You really are too weak for this, huh? Stop messing around; I’m going downstairs to grab your delivery. When I’m back, you can try on the yoga clothes for me, okay?”
He casually swatted Ning Chu’s hands away and turned to grab his coat.
That totally dismissive attitude stung her competitive spirit. She eyed Wen Yang’s back and made another sneak attack, pouncing at him with dramatic flair.
Wen Yang, still holding the coat, sidestepped at the sound of her footsteps, lifting another hand to gently press against her forehead.
“Stop messing around; you’re fine now?”
“Let go if you dare!”
No matter how fiercely the little succubus swung her arms and legs, she couldn’t touch a hair on Wen Yang. She stomped in frustration.
If he was still a man! But he wasn’t exactly an opponent in this case…
At close to six feet three, he was quite tall for someone from the south.
With a pout, Ning Chu huffed, “It hurts; let go.”
“Stop acting up,” Wen Yang teased as he released her, “If you provoke me enough, I might worry you can’t handle it.”
She paused for a moment and then quickly realized.
Though she was completely suppressed in their playful tussle, as a succubus, changing the battlefield would at least give her a fighting chance.
But maybe not today…
“Just wait until you’re older; I’ll squeeze you dry~ Don’t underestimate youth!” Ning Chu huffed back at her desk, “By then, it’s you who won’t be able to handle it, so don’t come crying to me for mercy.”
“Sure, sure, I’m out of here then?”
However, she called out to Wen Yang, who was heading for the door: “Hey! Did Wang Jie go to see his girlfriend this week?”
“He did; he’ll probably come back on Monday as a changed man.”
“Wow, that’s great~”
At least Wang Jie’s girlfriend can redeem herself in bed~
While no matter which battlefield she’s on, she’s always getting pulverized by Wen Yang.
“When are you going to get a picture of his girlfriend? I suspect she’s a succubus too! She’s too amazing!”
“I’ll ask him.”
Wen Yang couldn’t comprehend where Ning Chu’s subtle hint of envy was coming from.
Although he had been a man before, his sense of competition shouldn’t manifest in such a strange way, right?
