Ning Chu’s long-awaited grilled fish delivery finally arrived.
The meal, including the delivery fee, had cost her nearly a hundred yuan. If not for the five hundred yuan her older brother Ning Yuan had given her as a birthday gift, she wouldn’t have been willing to splurge on such an expensive dinner.
She lit the accompanying alcohol burner beneath the tin foil container, resting her chin on her hands and gently swinging her legs as she waited for the grilled fish to heat up.
The fish had already been cooked when it arrived, but it had cooled down a bit.
As the fire flickered, she began to feel slightly warm. Hesitating for a moment, she removed the jacket draped over her shoulders and placed it on the armrest of the sofa beside her.
The sofa was a bit cramped for two people. Even though Wen Yang tried to take up as little space as possible, their legs inevitably pressed against each other.
Wen Yang couldn’t stop his gaze from drifting toward Ning Chu. It was the first time he had seen her in such a thin nightgown. The faint outline on her chest was barely visible, making it hard for this inexperienced young man to keep his composure.
They’re a bit small though.
“By the way, can you do me a favor?” Ning Chu handed him a pair of scissors before standing up and turning her back to him. “Cut a hole in the back of my nightgown.”
“Huh?”“My tail needs some breathing room!”
Underneath her nightgown, her tail swayed restlessly, pushing up the fabric in soft arcs.
Understanding dawned on Wen Yang. “Come a little closer.”
He examined where to cut the hole, then curiously asked, “I heard succubus tails have a heart-shaped tip. Why doesn’t yours? And isn’t it a bit short?”
“I haven’t fully matured yet.”
Afraid he might try to grab her tail again, Ning Chu clamped it between her thighs before stepping back a couple of paces, her backside facing Wen Yang.
Wen Yang pinched the fabric above her buttocks and carefully cut a hole, but he made it a bit too large. Not only could her tail poke through, but the waistband of her cotton panties was also slightly visible.
“All done.”
Ning Chu wiggled her tail through the hole. Free from the confines of her nightgown, it swayed flexibly in the air. Satisfied, she sat back down. “Let’s eat.”
The grilled fish was already bubbling. She grabbed a disposable bowl and chopsticks, quickly picked out the juiciest piece of fish, blew on it a few times, and happily popped it into her mouth.
Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled, then she called out to Wen Yang, “You should eat less of this part!”
“Got it. I’ll have more of the side dishes.”
Wen Yang scooped up some potatoes, cauliflower, and tofu. Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly felt an itchy sensation on his waist. His expression changed, and instinctively, he slapped the spot.
“Is there a bug?”
Turning around, he saw his hand pressing down on Ning Chu’s tail.
Looking back at Ning Chu, he found her body frozen in place, her chopsticks nearly slipping from her grasp.
He quickly withdrew his hand and awkwardly explained, “I thought it was a bug.”
“Oh…”
Succubus tails really were sensitive.
Wen Yang glanced at Ning Chu’s face, which had suddenly turned a deep shade of red. His eyes then drifted downward—her chest was rising and falling rapidly, and those faintly visible peaks…
His breathing grew heavy and heated, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Before he knew it, his lower half reacted. Panicking, he tried to find something to cover himself. Looking around, he had no choice but to bend forward, attempting to block Ning Chu’s view.
But she quickly noticed his awkward posture.
She sniffed the air. Amidst the mildly spicy aroma of grilled fish, a familiar sweet scent mixed in.
“Even while eating, your mind is full of dirty thoughts.” She clicked her tongue in disapproval, turning her head away. Then, with a mischievous glint in her eye, she playfully poked Wen Yang’s waist with her tail.
“Any normal guy would be like this…”
After all, as a young, vigorous man, even the friction of walking could sometimes make him react—let alone being alone in a room with his girlfriend, their legs pressed together.
Ning Chu glanced over, her face flushing red as she quickly averted her gaze, responding with a soft murmur.
Wen Yang tried to focus on eating his grilled fish to divert his attention, but Ning Chu’s tail kept sneaking up on his waist, startling him repeatedly. At the same time, he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was teasing him.
Even though he knew this was no different from those playful jabs to the waist people did in class, this time, the one poking him was a succubus’ tail.
“Stop poking me, I’m ticklish.”
“Alright~ So, have you figured out how we’re doing the group project?”
“More or less. I posted in our dorm group chat earlier, hoping Shaoqing and Wang Jie would give me some ideas.”
Ning Chu didn’t even need to check her phone to know what kind of reaction the group chat had.
Wen Yang took a bite of corn and sighed. “I told them after class we should discuss it, but no one’s responded until now.”
“They’re probably all playing games. Or thinking, ‘We still have two weeks, what’s the rush?’”
“Yeah.”
That was exactly why Ning Chu hated group projects in college. There was always someone slacking off, dragging things out, and since they were all classmates, it wasn’t worth arguing over something so trivial.
“I’m stuffed…”
She had thought she could finish the entire three-pound blackfish, but after eating only half, she was already clutching her stomach, leaning back on the sofa, groaning from being too full.
She let out a small burp and lazily rested her head on Wen Yang’s shoulder. “You can have the rest. Make sure to finish it.”
“Don’t worry.”
Wen Yang wasn’t confident about many things, but when it came to eating, he was unbeatable. Even a wolf-girl wouldn’t have a bigger appetite than him.
As Wen Yang continued eating, Ning Chu kept stealing glances at his lower half.
The sweet, intoxicating scent around her seemed to grow stronger, inexplicably drawing her attention.
She was already full, yet she suddenly felt… a strange kind of hunger.
Realization hit her like a bolt of lightning, and she immediately got up and escaped to the bed.
So this is what being a succubus is like?!
Lying on her side, she tried to distract herself with some anime, but she was completely unfocused. She started thinking—maybe she shouldn’t let Wen Yang come over to her rental anymore.
Not only would Zhang Shaoqing start getting suspicious, but also…
Suddenly, a message notification popped up on her phone. It was from Zhang Shaoqing.
"Holy crap! You really are a girl!"
"You’ve got some serious guts!"
"…"
Even though it was just text, she could almost hear Shaoqing’s loud, excited voice as if he had just discovered a new continent.
Thank god this was online. If this were face-to-face, she wouldn’t even know how to react.
"I looked it up! That thing in your wardrobe is a tampon! Holy crap!"
Ning Chu’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew Shaoqing would find out sooner or later, but she had no idea how he would react after this.
The worst-case scenario? Just like in the original storyline, once Zhang Shaoqing found out she was female, he would try to take Wen Yang down, forcing her into a messy love triangle.
Fortunately, she had already moved out. Since Shaoqing hadn’t gone crazy with jealousy over his childhood friend being "taken," he had no reason to go after Wen Yang.
But… what if he actually liked her?
Anxious, she sat up, looking for Wen Yang’s opinion. “Wen Yang, Shaoqing found out.”
“Yeah, it was only a matter of time.”
“I wonder if he told Wang Jie…”
She sat upright, worriedly looking over at Wen Yang on the sofa. “Do you think he’ll figure out that I’m actually Wen Wen?”
“No way. He’s not that smart.” Wen Yang reassured her. “He’s never seen you in women’s clothing, so he wouldn’t make the connection.”
“But you should probably keep your distance from him from now on.”
He was worried Shaoqing, like himself, might be tempted to try to go after Ning Chu
