Theoretically speaking, the hypnosis spray could affect both psychological and even some physiological reactions.
After all, in the story she had written back then, there were villains who used it on girls to forcibly increase their sensitivity.
During the morning classes, Ning Chu’s mind was filled with all these strange and inappropriate thoughts, making her realize just how outrageous her past self had been.
Even more ridiculous was the fact that, despite already being punished for writing those novels — turned into a succubus and facing "punishment" — she still occasionally wrote a little...
For instance, she had just finished a 10.000 words short story about Zhang Shaoqing gender-swapping into a girl and having steamy sex with Wang Jie.
After becoming a girl, she thought her lecherous side would forever be suppressed, but to her surprise, they grew instead...
Well, she’s a succubus, and as a succubus, writing smutty stories seemed totally reasonable, right?
At noon, the class ended right on time.
Ning Chu looked up toward the corridor outside the classroom and saw that Nana was already waiting there.
"Should we go eat at the cafeteria first?"She asked herself.
"Forget it, better to settle Nana’s issue first," she sighed, casting a sidelong glance at Wen Yang.
"Why do you always bring me trouble..."
"Trouble just comes to me on its own," Wen Yang replied awkwardly, scratching his head.
Still, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous as he glanced toward Nana standing outside.
This was the first time Ning Chu had ever brought an outsider back to their rental house. even Zhang Shaoqing had only been there during the move-in.
Although both Ning Chu and Nana were girls, with his understanding of Ning Chu, he suspected her orientation might include women too.
After all, Ning Chu used to be a guy...
He had to guard against not only men trying to steal her, but also against her starting a yuri relationship.
It was hard.
As someone who was once a man herself, Ning Chu only needed to glance at Wen Yang's face to immediately grasp what her boyfriend was thinking.
She rolled her eyes: "Relax."
If she really had such thoughts, would she have waited until now?
"Mm."
It was just karma.
The stricter Ning Chu had been with Wen Yang at first, the stronger Wen Yang's possessiveness toward her became now.
Following the flow of people out of the classroom, Ning Chu walked over to Nana.
She sized up the little vampire girl in front of her.
Nana’s about 1.6 meters tall and slim like a delicate teenager, her figure hidden under a hoodie, making it hard to tell the front from the back.
Nana stood timidly like a quail, head bowed low.
Although her skin was deathly pale, her cheeks and pointed ears were tinged with a shy pink.
These pointy ears are so cute~
The moment Ning Chu's eye landed on them, such thoughts instantly crossed her mind.
But Nana immediately noticed her gaze, the vampire quickly pull her hoodie up over her head and silently stepped back a few paces to increase the distance between them.
"Can't vampires tell someone's gender by smell...?" Ning Chu muttered.
She was on her period today, yet Nana didn’t seem to notice.
Maybe the sanitary pad was just that effective?
Or maybe this girl was just too nervous to even register the scent.
"Should I walk you two to the bus stop?" Wen Yang offered.
"No need, you can just go get lunch. Do you have enough money? I can transfer you some if you don’t," Ning Chu said.
"It's only the middle of the month. I’m not broke enough to skip meals yet."
Ning Chu knew Wen Yang had a strong sense of pride, so she just nodded and reminded him, "Eat more."
It always made her heart ache seeing her protagonist, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, eating so frugally.
"Got it. I won't starve myself."
She gave him a sharp look, remembering how he used to even avoid ordering meat at the cafeteria.
"Let's go," she said.
Ning Chu reached out, trying to grab Nana’s wrist, but the vampire girl dodged away quickly.
Seeing her timid and fearful appearance only made Ning Chu want to bully her more.
Most of the students had already left.
Ning Chu originally thought of clarifying her real gender to Nana now, but seeing her reaction, she decided to tease this little vampire a bit longer.
"Why are you hiding from me?"
She teased wickedly.
"We're going to my rental house later~ just the two of us~ alone~"
"..."
Nana shrank even smaller, hanging her head without a word.
But Wen Yang, unwilling to watch his girlfriend flirting with another girl, quickly stepped in:
"She’s a girl. My girlfriend."
"Huh?"
Ning Chu turned and glared fiercely at Wen Yang.
"Let’s go!"
This guy was way too jealous!
They were both girls, what was wrong with teasing a little?
Ning Chu shot a glance at the bewildered Nana but said nothing, striding straight toward the exit of the teaching building.
The vampire girl quickly jogged after her, following closely behind and asking in a small voice, "Are you really a girl?"
"What else would I be?"
"But you said you were a guy earlier..."
"I just wanted to test whether your condition is psychological or physiological."
Ning Chu slowed her steps a little and curiously asked, "From the look of it, It should be psychological... Why are you afraid of men?"
Nana stammered for a while before answering softly, "My dad... he always drank a lot."
From those few words, and combined with the information about her androphobia, Ning Chu immediately understood what she meant.
"I see..."
Whether it was because she had become more emotional after turning into a woman, or because she couldn’t bear to see her own characters suffer, Ning Chu's mood grew a bit heavy too.
When they arrived at the bus stop outside the school, she couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation with your parents now?"
"Still the same," Nana said, her words a bit more forthcoming now, probably because she finally had someone to talk to.
"My mom said... she can't get a divorce because of me..."
"Then it would’ve been better if they just separated," Ning Chu said bluntly.
"Yeah..."
As they waited for the bus, Nana quietly took two small steps closer, drawn in by Ning Chu’s slender figure.
There was something comforting about Ning Chu, like a kind older sister she could confide in, though Nana couldn’t explain exactly why.
"The bus is here," Ning Chu said, turning back toward her.
"Once I help you fix your problem, you owe me a meal."
"Okay!" Nana nodded vigorously.
But then she asked worriedly, "H-How are you planning to fix it?"
"Uh... ever heard of hypnosis spray?"
The bus pulled up. Ning Chu boarded first, scanned to pay, and turned back, only to see Nana still standing at the curb, her face completely flushed.
Good grief... this girl isn’t so innocent after all~
It was obvious she'd seen some R18 anime or doujinshi!
Otherwise, how could a "normal" girl turn beet red just from hearing the word "hypnosis"?
Other passengers were getting on, one after another, and only Nana stood hesitantly outside the door.
"Hurry up! It's not what you're thinking!"
Nana finally boarded, bracing herself like a lamb walking into a lion’s den.
If Ning Chu weren’t so pretty and didn’t somehow make her feel a strange sense of trust, Nana would have fled long ago.
"It's really not what you're thinking..."
Ning Chu casually found a seat and muttered, "Could you fill your head with something healthier?"
Although the original use of the hypnosis spray... was pretty much exactly what Nana was thinking, that wasn't the tool’s fault! It was the user’s fault!
And she wasn’t some pervert like Zhang Shaoqing.
Nana: "..."
