You had to admit, Wen Yang was a fast learner.
Following a video tutorial on his computer, he carefully styled Ning Chu’s hair, and before long, a bun almost identical to the one in the video appeared at the back of her head.
The only problem was... her horns were on the sides.
“Maybe two side buns would work better? Though I don’t know how good that’d look,” Ning Chu muttered, examining her reflection and the two small horns sticking out awkwardly. “I thought it would look more like a traditional updo.”
“Well, your hair’s a bit too short and not very thick.”
Despite only going to the salon for simple trims over the past few months, Ning Chu’s hair had barely grown to shoulder length.
“That’s already pretty fast growth, though,” Wen Yang noted.
She sighed, dissatisfied. “It looks so odd and out of place.”
The two barely grown horns sticking out of her head looked strange and quite noticeable.
Maybe she should just act out the rest of the storyline for the “sister” characters, finishing the scenes within a day. Who knows—by tomorrow, her horns might be fully formed!
If that didn’t work, she could even try acting out the yet-to-be-triggered scenes!
But her succubus body probably couldn’t handle that. Playing the older sister yesterday had already left her feeling like she was falling apart.
“Maybe I’ll just wear a hat,” Ning Chu mumbled, putting on a baseball cap.
But the horns pushed the cap up, leaving it loose on her head, wobbling and feeling like it could fall off at any moment.
“A knit cap might work better,” Wen Yang suggested. “You could wear it loosely without it pressing against your head, and it’ll keep you warm too.”
“We don’t have any here... Maybe I could just use the hood on my coat?”
“I got some in yesterday’s stock.”
Wen Yang stood up and opened his suitcase, rummaging through the goods he had bought. After a moment, he pulled out a white knit cap with a fluffy pom-pom.
“Want to try this one?”
“Hmm...”
Ning Chu put on the hat and looked at herself in the mirror again.
It looked much better this way, and if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t notice the slight bulges on either side where her horns were.
The only problem was that her horns were quite sensitive, and the snug cap pressed against them, giving her a wrapped sensation.
Who knows why succubus horns have nerve endings... Normally, horns should be like fingernails, without any sensation.
Guess that’s just what being a succubus is like~
After lunch, Ning Chu felt much better, as her body had already recovered quite a bit since she woke up. At least, she could walk without a limp now.
Any regular girl would’ve been wiped out from last night.
Even though it was the weekend, Ning Chu had no plans to go out with Wen Yang. Partly because she still felt a bit sore, and partly because she didn’t want to leave the house with these horns on her head.
Hat on, she sat obediently at her desk, working on her story.
“By the way, you can sign up for elective courses online now,” Wen Yang reminded her. “Are you still planning to take yoga?”
“Yeah, I’ll take yoga.”
Otherwise, if Wen Yang ever got too excited, she’d risk pulling a ligament.
Plus, she couldn’t feel the pain herself, and instead, her body just turned the discomfort into pleasure.
Better to go practice yoga, improve her flexibility, and prevent any unintentional injuries caused by Wen Yang’s strength.
And maybe it’d open up some new positions~
“I already bought a yoga outfit; it should’ve arrived by now.” Ning Chu opened the school website, then paused at the login screen. “What was my password again?”
She hadn’t logged into the school’s website in so long that she’d completely forgotten her password.
“Try one of your usual passwords?” Wen Yang suggested, coming over to lean against her desk, watching her attempt to log in.
“I already did...”
Ning Chu frowned, trying various possible passwords again and again.
Wen Yang offered more ideas. “Birthday? Phone number? Name?”
“Nope...”
After a few more minutes, she resigned herself to the “forgot password” option, only to find that the school’s academic system didn’t even offer that function. If you forgot your password, you’d have to go to the academic office or contact an advisor.
But since it was the weekend, the office was definitely closed.
That annoying ghost...
Although the storyline with the ghost, An An, had been resolved, Ning Chu still wasn’t keen on interacting with her.
She sent a message to An An and muttered, “I hope by the time I can log in, all the good classes aren’t already taken, leaving only the hardest ones.”
“If that happens, I’ll take them with you.”
She sighed, glancing over at Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was leaning over, one hand on the desk, completely unguarded.
An opening!
This is payback for putting me through all that last night!
Ning Chu’s eyes lit up as she jumped up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and tried to sweep his legs out from under him.
He didn’t budge.
Wen Yang chuckled. “You don’t exactly have a lot of strength, do you? Stop messing around. I’ll go down and get your package. How about you try on the yoga outfit for me later?”
He casually peeled her hands away and turned to grab his jacket.
His completely unbothered attitude poked at Ning Chu’s competitive spirit. She eyed his back, quickly launching another sneak attack with a playful growl.
Wen Yang, jacket in hand, heard her approach and turned slightly, raising his free hand to press it gently against her forehead.
“Calm down. ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) Are you feeling better already?”
“Let go if you dare!”
Despite all her flailing and kicking, Ning Chu’s short arms couldn’t reach him, leaving her fuming and hopping in place.
If only she were still a man! Then again... he’d probably still be too much to handle.
At almost 1.9 meters tall, Wen Yang’s height was quite impressive, especially for a southerner.
With a look of defiance, Ning Chu muttered, “Fine, it hurts. Let go.”
“Stop being silly.” Wen Yang chuckled as he released her. “If you push me too far, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it.”
She froze, then caught his meaning.
Though she was outmatched in physical play, she’d still stand a chance in another type of “battle” as a succubus.
But maybe not today...
“Wait until you’re old and worn out—I’ll drain you dry!” Ning Chu huffed as she returned to her desk. “Then it’ll be you who can’t keep up, begging me for mercy.”
“Yes, yes. I’m leaving now?”
But she stopped him as he opened the door. “Hey! Did Wang Jie go see his girlfriend this weekend?”
“He did. He’ll probably come back Monday all worn out.”
“Lucky him~”
At least Wang Jie’s girlfriend could get some of her own back in bed~
Meanwhile, she couldn’t hold her ground against Wen Yang, no matter which “battlefield” they were on.
“When are you going to get me a picture of his girlfriend? I’m starting to suspect she’s a succubus! To be that powerful!”
“I’ll ask him.”
Wen Yang had no idea where Ning Chu’s odd hint of envy was coming from.
Even though she used to be a man, it seemed a strange place for her competitive streak to kick in.
