Volume 1 Chapter 267: The Perfect Woman
"I gotta admit, Ning Chu really does look stunning in a dress~"
Zhang Shaoqing clicked his tongue in amazement as he leaned closer to Wang Jie, whispering behind his hand. "I remember she wasn't this good-looking before, right? Back when school just started, she had more of that cute shota face."
Wang Jie nodded in agreement, recalling Ning Chu's earlier appearance.
"Man, it's only been a few months, and now she's not only gotten prettier, she's even seduced our roommate! Unforgivable!"
"Damn Wen Yang, going for the girl right next to him. Even a dog would cover its eyes in shame!"
Wen Yang heard them loud and clear, shot Zhang Shaoqing a sideways glance, then proudly straightened his back.
So what if I'm eating the grass by the nest? That grass is the freshest, most delicious kind!
"I found one of our military training photos," Wang Jie said, pulling up an old group picture on his phone. "Look."
Zhang Shaoqing immediately leaned in for a look. "Right? Back then she still looked kinda girly, sure, but you could at least tell she was a guy."
"You don't think she actually was a guy back then, right? Then secretly went off to Thailand for that kind of surgery?"
Wen Yang stiffened instantly.
The fact that Ning Chu used to be a boy was the biggest secret of all!
He didn't mind, of course—not with the full story behind it.
But who knew how others would react if they found out? People were quick to judge when it came to things they didn't understand.
He completely forgot about class and hurried to shoot it down. "That's impossible! Even if she did go during National Day break, there was no way she could get discharged and recover in just seven days!"
"Oho~ look at you, getting all defensive~" Zhang Shaoqing grinned slyly. "I was just joking, man. I already figured it out anyway."
"…"
Wen Yang choked, unable to think of a comeback.
But still, he added, "She just developed late."
Which was true—she was still in the middle of developing now, and hadn't even reached succubus-level chest standards yet.
"She started developing at eighteen?"
"Why do you think she was so flat before?"
"Well, she's still kinda—" Zhang Shaoqing caught himself mid-sentence.
He suddenly remembered Ning Chu wasn't just some roommate to joke about—she was his bro's girlfriend. He slammed on the brakes and changed topics.
"Ahem. So, uh… you coming to play murder mystery games this weekend or what? You guys ditched us last time."
"About that…" Wen Yang said, scratching his neck. "Ning Chu's busy this weekend, and I've got work."
"Then you come with just us! No girlfriends allowed," Zhang grumbled dramatically. "Ever since you started dating, the bromance has totally died."
Wen Yang had indeed been spending most of his free time with Ning Chu lately.
He could only nod helplessly. "Fine, you pick the time."
"Murder mystery?"
Ning Chu perked up and peeked over. "If it's fun, invite me next time!"
"Oh, give me a break. We've invited you like three times and you always bailed."
"Next time for sure!"
"You said that last time too!"
She was about to argue back when Yan Xinya suddenly tapped her arm.
Yan Xinya had her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she stared out the window. "Look! That evil woman from yesterday is back."
"Huh?"
Ning Chu followed her gaze to the corridor outside and sure enough, there was the frail silhouette of the vampire girl—Nana.
She froze for a second, surprised to see her.
Why was Nana here? Her story arc was already over. She wasn't afraid of men anymore, and by all logic, shouldn't be clinging to Wen Yang now.
Don't tell me something went wrong… Is she here for after-sales service or something?
The thought barely passed through her mind when the bell rang for the end of class.
"Wen Yang, be careful," Ning Chu warned, her tone serious. "If something feels off, just run."
"Come on… is that really necessary?"
"What? Don't tell me you actually like Nana?"
"No way!" Wen Yang shook his head hard. "Absolutely not!"
As students poured out of the classroom like a tidal wave, the group made their way into the corridor—toward whatever awkward encounter was waiting for them.
The moment Nana spotted Ning Chu, the flat-chested vampire girl hurried over with a nervous expression, clearly afraid of being rejected.
"U-Um… want to eat lunch together?" she asked timidly.
"Huh?"
"You're… busy?"
"No, no! I'm free!" Ning Chu nodded quickly, though she blinked in confusion as she looked at Nana.
Are we… that close?
This girl… could she really have been so introverted before that she didn't even have a single friend?
But with her fear of men and not women, surely she had a few girlfriends?
Nana took a delighted step closer, but still spoke anxiously, "I live pretty close to your place…"
Ah, she must be staying off-campus too—no wonder Wen Yang bumped into her that morning when she fainted on the way to buy breakfast.
"So you're saying we can go to school together?" Ning Chu immediately caught her drift.
"Mhm!" Nana nodded eagerly.
From behind, a scorching gaze practically burned holes into her back. Ning Chu turned around and gave Wen Yang an exasperated look.
Seriously? You're jealous of girls too now?
She really didn't have any interest in girls…
Sure, yuri fantasies looked great in manga, but real life? It just felt like leading people on.
Nana lowered her head, clearly shy, glancing nervously at the friends around Ning Chu.
Noticing her discomfort, Ning Chu quickly made introductions.
"This is Yan Xinya. That's Lily," she said, gesturing to the two girls. Then she turned to the guys. "This is Wang Jie, another friend of mine."
"Hmph."
"What about me?!" Zhang Shaoqing suddenly popped up. "Am I not your friend now?!"
"Tch~ Fine. This is Zhang Shaoqing."
Nana shrank back a little, her smile clearly forced as she nodded politely.
Yan Xinya, on the other hand, threw an arm around Nana's shoulder like a big dog meeting a new packmate, even leaning in and sniffing her skin playfully. Her imaginary tail wagged with excitement.
Nana's face stiffened further.
To expect one socially anxious girl to face off against the embodiment of extrovertness… was a bit much.
Ning Chu blinked.
Wow, I'm really making a lot of friends lately…
Especially Lily and Nana—both of them were originally part of the female supporting character types, but somehow ended up in her circle.
Ning Chu quietly edged away from the group and slid up beside Wen Yang. She looked up and glared.
"You're jealous of girls now too?"
"Who knows what she's trying to pull…" he muttered defensively.
Ning Chu scowled and gave his waist a vicious pinch.
"I told you, I have zero interest in girls!"
Wen Yang immediately panicked. "Okay okay! I get it! Please don't!"
Since when did she learn to do waist-pinching attacks like a proper girlfriend?!
Even though it wasn't that hard of a squeeze, he could already imagine the pain.
She's getting more and more like a real girl...
Yet no matter how much more feminine Ning Chu became, there was still a bit of that boyish energy lingering.
When they were together, they weren't just lovers—sometimes it felt more like having a ride-or-die bro.
They could game together, had nearly identical hobbies, synced logic, and when it came to certain needs… she could help with either her hands or other creative methods.
And on top of all that? She was cute, pretty, sexy—without any of that typical girly drama.
She was, in short, the perfect woman.
"Tch~" Ning Chu glanced toward the friends walking ahead, then leaned close to Wen Yang and whispered in mock irritation, "I told you from the start not to flirt with other girls… How could I possibly still like girls after that?"
Wen Yang's eyes widened in realization.
"So you liked me… even back when you were still a guy?"
"…"
Well… that wasn't exactly true.
But at this point, it was the only explanation that could satisfy his monster-level jealousy that aimed toward both girls and guys.
