Volume 2 Chapter 9 / Chapter 290: Autobiography
"Pretty impressive, huh~?"
The moment the New Year's party ended, Yan Xinya—still dressed in her glamorous evening gown—rushed over to her besties, beaming proudly with her nose held high and hands on her hips.
"I've been hosting events since elementary school, you know!"
Even with her elegant outfit and heavy makeup, the moment she opened her mouth, her inner husky energy came bursting through.
She might look like a proper young lady, but she still barked like a wolf pup.
"It was alright," Lily said flatly.
"Right?! Ning Chu must've been shocked when she saw me, huh?!"
Yan Xinya turned to Ning Chu, who was still curled up in Wen Yang's lap, and tilted her head curiously.
"Wait, why's your face so red?"
"It's nothing... just a little warm."
Ning Chu laughed awkwardly, her body tense.
"Okay yeah, I was a little shocked. You didn't look like you at all."
She squirmed slightly, her cheeks still hot and her heart beating fast.
Even though her brain was on lockdown, her body had clearly been warming up under Wen Yang's heat.
Yan Xinya's nose twitched and she gave a teasing grin.
"Oooh~ You two are way too close~"
What is she, part bloodhound?!
Ning Chu ducked her head in shame and gave Wen Yang's thigh another vicious pinch.
Wen Yang sucked in a breath through his teeth.
This was brutal. Holding the girl of his dreams for a full two hours, suppressing everything, while having his thigh assaulted the whole time?
And the worst part? Her blushing, pouty expression—embarrassed and flustered—was so damn cute it made him want to tease her more.
"It's already past nine. If you two don't leave now, the buses'll stop running."
Watching their little back-and-forth, Yan Xinya grinned even wider.
"Better head back, yeah?"
"It's already nine?"
Ning Chu blinked in surprise and quickly checked her phone.
The party had gone on for two whole hours. And she'd spent those two hours suffering on a very uncomfortable seat.
She hadn't realized how much time had passed.
The crowd was thinning out. With fewer students around, Wen Yang's… um, "situation" was also harder to miss.
Ning Chu didn't feel like covering for him anymore. She pushed off Wen Yang's lap and stood up, using his leg for leverage.
One glance down confirmed it—that thing had been poking her the whole time.
Face burning, she quickly stepped to the side, blocking Yan Xinya and Lily's line of sight.
Yan Xinya gave a cheeky laugh.
"So scary~"
"..."
Ning Chu stayed silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Yan Xinya's chest with curiosity.
"How do yours look so… big? Can't be wearing a bra under that dress, right?"
"Trying to change the subject~" the wolf girl teased, puffing her chest out proudly.
"I'm wearing sticky bras! I even got one size up. Don't I look even bigger than Lily?"
No duh. Lily was dressed super conservatively, not in a glamorous gown. Of course it looked bigger in comparison.
"Wait—aren't sticky bras just those little nipple covers?"
Ning Chu always thought stick-ons were just for covering the nips, not for pushing and boosting like a regular bra.
"Come to my dorm on the weekend and try it out yourself!"
"We're heading out now~ Gotta remove all this makeup and shower... so annoying~"
As the two walked off, Ning Chu turned to Wen Yang.
"Are you good now?"
Wen Yang had already taken off his jacket and tied it around his waist, clearly nervous as he glanced around.
"More or less…"
Unlike other guys, who could hide a reaction by crouching or wearing loose pants, his reactions were hard to miss.
"Let's go. I need to get back to writing."
Ning Chu let out a long sigh.
"Ugh, I don't want to write. I'd rather review for exams."
Once a hobby becomes a job, even something you once loved eventually starts to feel like a chore.
Still, writing her novel wasn't just about making money. Seeing her work resonate with readers gave her a deep, satisfying sense of accomplishment. That was the part that kept her going.
While she mentally plotted the next few chapters, she latched onto Wen Yang's arm and got ready to head out—
But a certain someone stepped in front of them and blocked the way.
A vixen.
As if she'd just walked off stage, Lin Li was still wearing that tiny crop top and ultra-short denim shorts. Her fiery red fox tail wagged rapidly behind her as she stood with one hand on her hip, chatting with another vixen—deliberately positioning herself right in Ning Chu's path.
It was almost like she was waiting to be seen.
Ning Chu noticed Wen Yang's eyes immediately lock onto her.
Annoyed, she yanked him along and quickly detoured around Lin Li.
"You're still looking?!"
Wen Yang awkwardly averted his gaze and scratched the back of his head.
Ning Chu understood. Really, she did. Men being attracted to beautiful women was just natural. That didn't mean their minds were in the gutter.
But still—it really ticked her off.
When they got home, she was definitely buying the same outfit online.
The shorts probably weren't practical for her… but she could wear cotton ones as sleepwear. That'd work.
By the time they caught the bus back to their apartment, it was almost ten.
As soon as they stepped inside, Wen Yang looked at her expectantly—eager.
But Ning Chu had already kicked off her shoes and darted straight for the desk.
"I have work to do! No distractions!"
"Alright, alright…"
He had been burning up ever since she'd teased him back at school, and now this little succubus had no intention of helping him cool off. Not even a bit.
At this point, he was starting to look forward to the rumors about succubi turning into juice-extracting demons at any time.
Then again, with his stamina, he might not survive it.
Ning Chu was fully focused, fingers flying across the keyboard. Her eyes were locked on the screen as she typed away.
Meanwhile, Wen Yang silently crept up behind her, arms folded, eyes drifting over the words on her monitor.
It wasn't until Ning Chu stretched and yawned that she finally turned—and froze in shock. Her fingers frantically hit Alt+Tab to switch windows.
Her voice shot up an octave.
"When did you get there?!"
Good thing she hadn't been lazy enough to use real names in her story.
"I've been standing here the whole time."
It felt like all her blood had rushed straight to her face. Her cheeks were burning hot, and her expression twisted with panic. She didn't know how to explain.
She'd only written a little over a thousand words. Maybe he came halfway and didn't understand?
"I already found your novel online, you know. Been following it since like... two weeks ago."
Wen Yang gave her a reassuring smile.
"I think it's great."
"…"
Mortification slammed into her like a tidal wave.
Her brain felt like a kettle boiling over—face flushed, ears ringing, steam practically hissing from the top of her head.
Dead. She was so dead.
It was her autobiography, for crying out loud!
Sure, there was a bit of artistic license here and there, but Wen Yang would definitely see through it.
The inner monologues alone basically undressed her—completely exposing her heart and soul for him to examine.
Her secret about time-traveling.
The mental breakdown when she became a girl.
The way she slowly realized her feelings for him.
That emotional rollercoaster of shame and desire while slipping into femininity...
All of it.
Ning Chu shot up and dove onto the bed like a torpedo, burying her face in a pillow and yanking the blanket over her entire body.
Aaaaahhhhh!!!
"I think it's really well written," Wen Yang said honestly, tilting his head.
"DON'T SAY ANYTHING!" came her muffled scream from under the covers.
She twisted and rolled like a worm in a frying pan.
Not even that very public display of affection earlier had made her feel this ashamed!
