Chapter 51: Scheming Cat!
The uproar about the underwear thief in the girls' dormitory was finally resolved, and it turned out to be caused by a little poodle.
No wonder the security cameras showed the underwear disappearing but never caught any clues—after all, a small black dog, hidden by the night and the cover of the bushes, would easily evade detection.
Thankfully, now that the pervert problem was solved, Ning Chu could live in the girls' dorm without worrying about walking into a trap.
As she entered the room, Ning Chu curiously glanced over at Yan Xinya, who was grooming her tail.
Lily had mentioned that Yan Xinya was in her qing phase...
Beast-eared girls, according to the book’s lore, had fairly predictable qing cycles. Typically, during winter or spring, they became more sensitive, their attraction to the opposite sex intensified, and their reproductive desires increased. However, it wasn’t as uncontrollable as a succubus's situation.
Since beast-eared girls still had "human" traits, their ghs tendencies were generally the same as regular people. It was just that during their qing phases, their urges became more intense.
So now...
In this dorm, there were two succubi, who could potentially go into heat at any moment, and a little she-wolf with strong reproductive instincts, though she appeared normal.
No wonder this was a harem novel world~
Ning Chu’s gaze couldn’t help but settle on Yan Xinya.
“What are you staring at?!” Yan Xinya's face flushed, and she quickly avoided Ning Chu’s gaze, looking rather flustered.
What’s with her?
Ning Chu was momentarily confused, but her phone buzzed with a message from Lily’s newly registered account.
“Because of her qing phase, that poodle is obsessed with stealing her underwear!”
Oh, so that’s why!
Ning Chu finally pieced it together. She glanced at Lily’s stoic face, then at Yan Xinya’s blushing, angry expression, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Stop laughing!”
“I’m not. Do you have a rag? I need to clean the bed.”
She quickly straightened her face and turned to ask Lily.
“Over there.” Lily pointed to the rag on the windowsill.
The vacant wooden bed was covered in a thin layer of dust. The desk was cluttered with personal items from the others, and both the wardrobe and bookshelf were empty.
This had been Lingling’s bed, but after moving in with her boyfriend, she never returned.
Poor Zhang Shaoqing~
Ning Chu couldn’t help but feel bad for her "son." This wasn’t something from the original plot, after all.
Kneeling at the head of the bed, she started wiping away the dust and called out to the two girls below her, “Could you clear off the desk?”
“Got it.”
Yan Xinya quickly shook off her embarrassment and regained her usual lively energy.
She swiftly packed away her clutter, but then looked up and asked, “Oh, by the way, don’t you have beef with Lin Li?”
“Huh?”
“At the class party last time, she tried to steal your man! Are you two going to fight if you live together?”
Lin Li also lived in this dorm, but she usually only came back in the evenings.
“Steal my man...” Ning Chu bit her lip in embarrassment. “I don’t think we’ll fight.”
“Well, she’s hardly ever here during the day.”

“Yeah.”
After finishing up her bed and putting her luggage away, it was nearly time for class.
Yan Xinya threw her arm around Ning Chu’s, not the least bit concerned about her soft chest pressing against Ning Chu’s arm, as if they were close sisters.
Ning Chu had long gotten used to the wolf-girl’s affection and had grown accustomed to being physically close to other girls. Without her male parts, she didn’t feel any inner turmoil or inappropriate thoughts.
Lily silently followed behind them. Once they stepped out of the dorm, the shy little succubus turned into a cold, silent ice queen.
“Hey? Isn’t that Ning Chu? What’s she doing here?”
As the dorm grew busier with students getting ready to leave for class, Ning Chu inevitably bumped into some girls from her class in the hallway.
“Isn’t she a girl? Seems normal.”
“No, she’s definitely a guy!”
A few clueless students whispered among themselves.
Ning Chu lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to meet their gazes.
She was also worried that someone might report her to the dorm manager.
“Do you think they’ll kick me out?”
“Hard to say~”
“Huh?”
Yan Xinya turned to Ning Chu with a mischievous smile. “Why don’t you just wear girls’ clothes when you come and go next time? That way, no one will say anything.”
“...”
Honestly, Ning Chu wasn’t as repelled by the idea of wearing girls’ clothes as she had been before. Her body and mind were slowly sinking into corruption... After experiencing multiple qing moments in public, her threshold for embarrassment had significantly lowered.
But still, most of the students thought she was a guy. And with Zhang Shaoqing’s big mouth, if he saw her in girls’ clothes, he’d never stop teasing her.
When they arrived at the classroom, Ning Chu immediately spotted Wen Yang sitting in the front row, already going over his vocabulary.
At the same time, she noticed the cat-girl Qiao Qiao sitting in the back row, her eyes glued to Wen Yang.
“She’s not even in our class!” Ning Chu scowled at the sight of the cat-girl.
As much as she didn’t want to face the consequences, she couldn’t stand the idea of a flirtatious fox like Qiao Qiao constantly trying to seduce her male lead!
“She’s probably just sitting in to audit the class. It’s pretty normal,” Yan Xinya said, turning to look at Ning Chu. “Are you jealous?”
“No.”
“Then why do you care so much?” The wolf-girl rolled her eyes. “You’re more stubborn than a platypus.”
“...”
“Wen Yang~” Yan Xinya led Ning Chu and Lily to sit beside Wen Yang.
Across the room, Zhang Shaoqing craned his neck to look at Ning Chu, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. He clearly wanted to ask about her time in the girls’ dorm.
But Ning Chu ignored him, lowering her head as she leaned toward Wen Yang and whispered, “Has that Qiao Qiao been bothering you again?”
“Not really. She was sitting in the back when I got here.” Wen Yang shrugged helplessly. “She hasn’t said a word to me.”
Is that so...
What a high-level schemer!
Ning Chu frowned. And this was just the first one. Once more supporting characters showed up, how was she going to handle them?
The best plan would be for her to hide in the dorm or the bathroom—any isolated space—while Wen Yang dealt with the plot. That way, she wouldn’t risk public humiliation.
But that didn’t seem very feasible...
Ning Chu leaned closer to Wen Yang, her breath warm as she whispered into his ear, “After class, I want you to go find Qiao Qiao.”
Her breath sent a warm flush over Wen Yang’s ear, turning it red.
He awkwardly tugged at his jacket. “And then?”
“Then, of course, you’ll reject her completely. Cut ties with her.”
She could hide in the dorm or sneak into a bathroom to wait out the punishment.
“Be harsh! Just tell her off!”
“But...” Wen Yang turned his head, looking at Qiao Qiao’s innocent, childlike face. Imagining the scene Ning Chu had described, he felt like he’d be bullying a little girl.
“No buts!”
No wonder Qiao Qiao’s plot hadn’t been resolved. It wasn’t just because she was a schemer, but because Wen Yang couldn’t bring himself to be harsh with girls who looked like her.
