Chapter 287: The Terrible Dormitory
With her mother leaving, Ning Chu’s identity problem was completely resolved.
She received her new ID card from her mother and stared at the “Female” in the gender section, feeling both sad and ridiculous.
Now, whether by physiological or social gender, she was an outright woman.
Subconsciously, she touched her ears, skillfully wagging the tail hidden beneath her skirt, recalling the heart-shaped silver pattern on her lower abdomen, pursing her lips.
Still a thorough succubus.
“Pay attention in class.”
Wen Yang, next to her, reminded her as he noticed her distraction.
“Oh.”
As finals approached, Ning Chu specifically asked Wen Yang to help her study seriously to avoid getting grades worse than a dog.
The school was lax about playing games but notoriously strict about exam cheating, with last semester’s cheating list posted on the honor roll in the teaching building.
If caught, you’d at least socially die for a whole semester and get a demerit.
As the afternoon classes were about to end, the counselor, dubbed the old hag, came to the classroom and lightly knocked on the door.
The teacher turned around and said, “That’s all for today.”
The counselor took over the remaining minutes and approached the podium. “Tonight, there will be a New Year’s celebration on the big playground…”
New Year’s had actually passed a few days ago; all the holidays were over.
Yan Xinya perked her ears up, excitedly telling Ning Chu, “Lin Li has a performance tonight! Dancing!”
“What kind of dance can a fox spirit do…”
Ning Chu mumbled but keenly noticed the counselor’s gaze lingering on her.
She raised her head, looking at the counselor, her body tense.
Who knows what strange misunderstanding the counselor might have about her!
Like maybe she had surgery in Thailand or something? She wondered if her mother had adequately explained things to the counselor.
“With finals approaching, the teaching building will be open until 10 PM…”
After simply notifying a few matters, the counselor turned and left; it seemed she was busy handling four classes at once.
“Class is dismissed~”
Ning Chu stretched lazily, but Zhang Shaoqing popped his head in and asked, “Are you two going to see the performance tonight? Or are you just going to head back in a shameless manner?”
“Of course I’m going; I’ll head back to the dorm soon.”
If she didn’t go back to the dorm this time, she might not get another chance.
She turned to ask, “Shaoqing, how’s your blind date situation going?”
“Don’t mention it; once the break starts, I’m running away from home.” Zhang Shaoqing hooked his arm around Wang Jie’s neck, confidently declaring, “Going to Wang Jie’s house for the New Year! That’ll drive my mom crazy!”
“Childish~”
“You don’t understand; your relationship with your mom is good,” Zhang Shaoqing sighed, recalling how he had seen Ning Chu playing around with her mother in the hallway. “I’m really jealous~”
“What’s there to be jealous of…”
Ning Chu muttered as she followed Wen Yang out of the classroom.
Actually, her relationship with her mother in middle school wasn’t that good either; like most people, she entered a rebellious phase, discontent with everything, particularly resisting her mother’s restrictions.
And then, there was no “and then…”
Back then, she had a fight with her mother, stormed out, and by the time she heard from her mother again, it was too late to regret.
One of life’s great fortunes is losing and then regaining something, so when Ning Chu learned that this was a parallel world where her mother hadn’t passed away, her resentment about becoming a girl, even turning into a succubus, faded significantly, and she accepted the result of gains and losses with calmness.
It was just that she had lost her precious cow part after more than twenty years!
Just a case of becoming female!
Just a future of becoming a soft baozi… let’s just skip that, shall we?
“I swear! You haven’t been back to the dorm in ages, have you?”
Following the familiar path, Zhang Shaoqing shouted, “With you dressed like this, if you can get in through the front door, I’ll change my last name!”
“That dorm manager’s memory can’t be that bad, right?”
“Who knows~” he leaned in mysteriously, gesturing for the others to lower their voices. “I heard that the manager was dating a student and got caught; now that student’s parents are causing a ruckus. Who knows how long he can keep being the dorm manager.”
“Eh?”
Ning Chu was taken aback.
No! This is the only pure love plot in my book!
Although there’s quite a big age gap, it’s still pure love, right?! She clearly didn’t want to ruin anything!
Wen Yang was equally stunned. “Isn’t that the girl who’s often in the dorm manager’s room?”
“Exactly! Did you notice her? She’s quite pretty~”
“I thought she was just a relative of the dorm manager…”
Arriving at the dormitory building’s entrance, Ning Chu spotted the dorm manager at a glance.
The man looked in a bad mood, moving a small stool to sit on one side of the door, smoking. Some students, having heard about his situation, whispered and pointed as they passed by.
She felt a headache coming on.
Not just because of that subplot concerning the dorm manager.
More importantly, if the manager’s love life ended, she was going to suffer tonight.
Just last night, Wen Yang had developed a new play-style; that tantalizing feeling almost had her flip the script. If tonight included a punishment debuff, who knows what kind of trouble she’d be facing!
However, she had never had any interaction with the dorm manager before and certainly hadn’t interfered in that plot, so it was impossible to get involved now.
The dorm manager, smoking, looked up at Ning Chu dressed in women’s clothing.
He paused for a moment, then recognized Wen Yang, and the next moment, he also recognized Ning Chu.
“What kind of man insists on dressing like a girl…”
As she passed by the dorm manager, Ning Chu vaguely heard his muttering.
She twitched the corner of her mouth.
Oh great! I was just thinking of helping you!
“Dressing like a girl~” Zhang Shaoqing laughed as usual, “Has the dorm manager taken you for a sissy?”
“Get lost!”
Ning Chu kicked at him, and the brazen-faced guy turned and ran off.
Following the stairs, she returned to the dormitory after a long absence. She pushed the door open and was immediately hit by a smell of stinky feet that made her face turn pale, causing her to stumble backward and bump into Wen Yang.
Wen Yang wrinkled his nose, his face turning green.
“I swear! Don’t you guys wash your feet?!”
Beside them, Wang Jie scratched his head sheepishly. “It might be because of too many socks piling up…”
“What’s going on?”
Zhang Shaoqing walked in from the balcony, looking puzzled. “Why aren’t you coming in?”
“Don’t you smell that?!”
“I don’t smell anything?”
“Oh no…” Ning Chu sighed, “My nose must be broken.”
Missing two people, Wang Jie and Zhang Shaoqing had practically let loose. Looking into the dorm from the hallway, it looked like a gigantic garbage dump, with all sorts of trash and cigarette butts covering the floor, leaving no room to step.
“So messy…” Ning Chu pinched her nose and peered into the room, “Wasn’t it fine before?”
Wen Yang sighed, “Well, look at his desk; within a meter radius, it’s pretty clean.”
“Zhang Shaoqing! Wang Jie!”
“What’s going on? Why’re you yelling so loud?!”
“Go clean up!”
“You’re more annoying than my mom!”
