Chapter 43: A Holiday Hype and a Tail-Taming Plan

“Phew!!!”

The morning classes flew by, and it was that rare, thrilling moment for boarding students—

Phone pickup and going home!

“Hmph hmph.”

For Luo Su, National Day was a big deal, especially… her 3,000-yuan red packet was finally claimable!

“I’m claiming it!”

As Teacher Xu announced phone pickup, Luo Su tapped eagerly. “???” [Refunded: You didn’t accept Mom’s transfer in 24 hours]

“Cough cough…”

Choking, she grumbled, texting Mom, “Okay! Also… transfer expired.”

Phew… her long-awaited allowance…

Delayed again.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Ning noticed her gloom.

“Nothing…”

Luo Su sighed, thinking resentfully, Your fault for dragging me to your place tomorrow… Otherwise, she wouldn’t need weird plans.

But… now,

She couldn’t admit she was both Luo Su and Su Xi! Days of effort wasted, and if they knew…

“Gulp…”

Just thinking made her tremble. They’d blackmail her, dragging her home nightly—succubus to real succubus (danger)!

“Fine.”

Jiang Ning blinked, continuing, “But whatever’s up, you can talk to me… especially about Luo Su…”

Yup, she still thought Luo Su was a jerk! Skipping school, making a succubus cover—too much!

“…”

“See!” Luo Su thought miserably. Can’t confess. Why did these bad women hate “Luo Su” so much? She hadn’t done anything!

Ding-dong—

Her phone chimed. She opened it eagerly—her money! Then saw Gao Ye’s message: “Luo Su, free for National Day? Hang out!”

“Nope!” She huffed, sending it and shutting her phone.

How’d she forget that guy, wasting her emotions… But for her bro, no hesitation—straight rejection.

“…”

Gao Ye blinked, glancing at Luo Su and Jiang Ning whispering face-to-face. He shrugged, getting it: “Oh, I see!”

So, he opened Naruto…

Burn, will of fire… last season sprint! Hmph, women… slow your reflexes (not ‘cause he’s single).

Thirty seconds later…

Out of beans, Gao Ye swiped the app closed. Not that he lost, just in a good mood—gifting the win.

…

Teacher Xu rambled about safety.

With the bell, the pre-holiday darkness ended. Luo Su grabbed her bag, clutching her precious candy stash, bouncing homeward.

“Ugh…”

While Jiang Ning was away, she “tearfully” ate the blueberry candy. Satisfied, she hugged her bag, sitting in the bus’s corner.

“But…”

“What to do tomorrow?”

Her brain churned, still no way to split into two…

“Phew…”

Better ask her sister’s arrival time. Sighing, she scrolled her contacts forever to find her sister’s avatar…

[When you coming?]

[Around 10 a.m. tomorrow!]

[Cool.]

[No way~]

[Go play, why bother your bro…]

[Not for you, just wanna visit Pingchang!]

“Nice! For real?”

[???]

[What’s that mean? You…!]

Thrilled, Luo Su locked her screen, ending the chat, popping an apple candy. Sister just wants to visit Pingchang? Let her go alone!

Fifteen (kinda)…

She won’t get lost. Sighing, Luo Su thought those online “sister-lover” unity vibes were nonsense from sisterless folks.

Her sister? Annoying…

Hmph, less fun than games. A brother would be better—gaming together, her on ADC, him on Vanguard.

Lose? Excuses ready.

Sisters? Probably playing dress-up games.

“Gulp…”

Luo Su paused. “Fine, even as a girl now, my macho heart won’t change—dress-up games? Never!”

“Hmph…”

“Absolutely not!” she repeated.

With solid news, tomorrow’s plan was set! 9–10 a.m., treat Jiang Ning and Jiang Cha to breakfast… repay favors.

During, fake a stomachache… rush to the bus station to grab her sister… hand over the rental key… yup, charge those extra hundreds!

Hehe.

Then back to Jiang Ning’s place. Perfect, too perfect. Excited, she crunched an apple candy.

“…”

“Ugh… not many apple ones left…” She counted Jiang Ning’s candies—almost gone in one morning.

“Ugh… the rest…”

She stuffed them in her bag’s inner pocket. Out of sight, less tempting, lasting longer.

“Gulp…”

“When I get that 3,000, I’ll buy a fridge full of candy!” Her tail spun circles with the fantasy, until the bus stopped.

“!!!”

Her heart skipped, spinning to check—no one noticed, thanks to her bag’s cover.

“Ugh…”

Hiding her tail, “So scary! Almost ended my succubus life…”

First time…

Jiang Ning saw her on a bus. Maybe get a rubber band? She could secure her tail.

“Mhm, I’m so smart!”

But the bad tail needed a lesson! Dogs mature by taming their tails, right?

“Hmph…”

Eyeing her disobedient, wriggling tail, she huffed, “I’ll deal with you at home!”

Online…

They say cats and tails are separate creatures. Succubi too, right? Whatever, discipline first.

Not that she wanted to…

…

“Mhm…”

Before reaching home, her longed-for red packet arrived! Success or failure—tomorrow’s the day!

“Go for it!”

Cheering herself, just a few girls… pre-transformation, she could take three! Now…

“…”
