“So nice~”
After a round of playful teasing, Ning Chu sat on the bench with her head resting on Wen Yang’s shoulder, gazing at the rippling surface of the artificial lake in front of them.
There were no distracting noises around, just the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind, and all she could smell was Wen Yang’s familiar scent. Her anxiety over her horns and the “bad girls” faded into a calm peace.
She nestled her cold hands into Wen Yang’s chest, mumbling softly, “Just a little chilly.”
The wind had reddened her cheeks, and her skin was starting to feel a bit chapped.
“Shall we head back?”
“Let’s stay a bit longer.”
With no one around, Ning Chu’s tail peeked out from beneath her skirt, lazily swaying.
Wen Yang noticed her gaze drifting toward his knees, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint.
“Don’t even think about it.” He placed his hand firmly on her head, preventing any mischievous thoughts, then opened his coat to pull Ning Chu snugly back inside with him.
“Oh~”
He lifted the collar to shield her from the wind.
“It’s a bit too warm now.”
“You’re always full of complaints.”
Giggling, Ning Chu snuggled closer to Wen Yang. Outside, the cold wind blew relentlessly, but within his embrace, it was as cozy as a summer day.
They didn’t go to the library; instead, they spent their lunch break wandering leisurely around campus, hand in hand, chatting away.
Their conversation ranged from games to “sexy” topics, from novels to “sexy” ideas, and even from studies back to... “sexy” thoughts again...
They normally didn’t talk this much. Back at their place, they often did their own things, but now that they were walking, conversation flowed endlessly.
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Time for class again.
Now that the school prohibited students from bringing food or wearing slippers into the teaching area, Ning Chu and Wen Yang, on their way to the classroom, once again encountered an unwelcome face.
In the morning, it was the enthusiastic face of Guoguo; now, it was her older sister, Duoduo, with her aloof expression.
Though their expressions differed, both sisters had eyes only for Wen Yang.
Infuriating!
The official girlfriend was standing right here!
Even though Duoduo didn’t say a word to Wen Yang, Ning Chu’s blood was boiling, and her blood pressure spiked.
If only her period weren’t still here—she would have already started on her “replacement plan.”
“Hey, why did you kick me?”
Caught off guard by the sudden kick, Wen Yang looked at her, confused.
“What ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) do you think?!”
Seeing her jealousy bubble over, he scratched his nose awkwardly, mumbling, “Not really my fault, is it?”
Out of reflex, he glanced back at the student council line and met Duoduo’s gaze.
“Still looking!”
“No, no, I wasn’t.”
Wen Yang couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s not like they’ve ever even spoken to me. I’ve barely seen them. Why would they be interested?”
“Because of the plot, duh. Are you clueless?”
He nodded thoughtfully. “Feels like they’re NPCs or something.”
The so-called “love” in Huang Wen was just a plot device, lacking any sense of reality. Unlike his relationship with Ning Chu, which had grown naturally from spending time together.
Ning Chu didn’t care about all that; she just knew there’d be no peace until these “bad girls” were dealt with.
In the classroom for the afternoon session, she immediately began strategizing on how to proceed.
First, she needed to experiment with one of the twins’ story arcs...
The public bathroom scene was too risky; the other two could be done at the apartment.
One was tying Wen Yang up and getting on top of him, and the other was tying herself up and placing herself in his bed.
Hmm... While the first option would mean not being pinned down by a man, it was a bit too forward for her taste. She’d need to mentally prepare herself.
The problem was, she’d need a rope and would have to learn some binding techniques.
She only knew simple crossover knots and couldn’t even tie her shoelaces properly, so binding someone was a bit daunting.
Hmm, there’s a thing called **, quite common in spicy art...
“Where’s Shaoqing?”
Wen Yang’s voice pulled Ning Chu from her increasingly explicit thoughts.
Wang Jie had just walked in alone and took a seat next to Wen Yang. “I didn’t see him after lunch. He said he was meeting Qianqian.”
“Qianqian? Wasn’t she ignoring him?”
“Seems like it? Not sure.”
Ning Chu perked up, listening to their conversation, and quickly sent Qianqian a message.
She thought Qianqian was supposed to be giving Zhang Shaoqing the cold shoulder! Was she already softening?
Zhang Shaoqing’s disrespectful attitude towards girls he liked would only get worse if she didn’t keep her guard up!
A moment later, Qianqian replied with a determined emoji, reassuring Ning Chu that she knew about Zhang Shaoqing’s peculiar tastes.
Relieved, Ning Chu glanced around, then resumed her online search for ** tying tutorials.
Binding herself seemed a bit tricky...
Although the tutorials were detailed, she couldn’t practice while learning, which left her a bit stumped.
Maybe she’d have to wing it.
“Hey~”
She shivered suddenly, quickly turning to her side to find Lily silently sitting beside her, peering at her phone screen.
Lily’s lips parted slightly in surprise, though her expression remained as cold as ever.
Quickly flipping her phone screen down onto the desk, Ning Chu glared at Lily, embarrassed. “How do you walk without making a sound?!”
“You’re really into this.”
“...”
“I know how to do that.”
“!!!”
Ning Chu’s face froze as she stared at the emotionless girl beside her, claiming to know ** techniques. She didn’t know how to react.
A succubus with no boyfriend, only toys to play with... and she knows this?
“Where’s Xinya?”
“Bathroom.”
Their conversation was in hushed tones. After a quick glance at Wen Yang to make sure he was none the wiser, Ning Chu leaned closer to Lily and whispered, “Teach me!”
The two succubi, heads together, were sharing their knowledge and learning from each other.
Wen Yang cast a curious glance at them, wondering what could be keeping them so engrossed.
Yan Xinya returned from the bathroom, rushing over to join the two. She leaned in close, but after only a few moments of listening, she clapped a hand over her mouth, emitting a groundhog-like squeal of surprise.
“Wow~”
Wen Yang’s curiosity grew even stronger.
What could these girls be talking about?
Each of their faces was flushed, a mix of excitement and embarrassment, and they looked like hamsters, occasionally lifting their heads to nervously scan the surroundings.
“So Shaoqing’s planning to skip class this afternoon too?” Wen Yang continued chatting with Wang Jie, but his gaze remained on the trio huddled together.
“He asked me to cover for him on roll call.”
“Teacher’s here.”
Noting the instructor’s arrival, Wen Yang refocused, opening his notebook and preparing to take notes.
Meanwhile, Ning Chu had already begun her own kind of... “study.”
