No matter if you're male or female, everyone has some physiological needs. It's instinct.
Compared to visiting an escort, having a one-night stand, or attending illicit parties—activities that are both illegal, morally dubious, and potentially hazardous to one's health—using toys is, by comparison, a clean and hygienic option to satisfy oneself.
Even if someone found out, at worst, you'd just be labeled as a pervert, not hauled off to jail.
This is especially true for someone like her, a relatively reserved, self-respecting, and pure succubus. When her partner wasn’t around, toys were the best option.
Ning Chu convinced herself of this.
Then immediately regretted it...
“Wen Yang would’ve been better~”
She leaned weakly against the bathroom wall, her body having returned to normal. Waves of regret washed over her, clearing her mind.
“What am I doing? This is too much,” she muttered softly, staring at the toy, feeling like a perverted deviant. Intense shame burned within her, making her heart ache.
Just a few months ago, she was still a man. How did she fall this far so quickly?
It was all Lili's fault!
This was the only time. Never again.
If Wen Yang found out... he definitely wouldn’t say no to new "ideas." He might even enjoy it. Just dealing with Wen Yang alone was already overwhelming for her. Adding these toys into the mix would only make things worse.
Dragging her tired body, Ning Chu cleaned up the bathroom and wearily made her way back to the bedroom, collapsing onto the bed.
However, her mind did feel much clearer now. The constant itch to do something had disappeared, leaving her feeling more refreshed than before.
“I came to Lili’s place to cool off,” she sighed.
But instead, she had opened up a whole new world.
After lying down for a few minutes to rest, Ning Chu stood up, took a deep breath, steeled her face, and walked out the door, expressionless.
Lili and Yan Xinya were sitting on the living room sofa. Hearing the door open, they both looked up in unison.
Even though Ning Chu had mentally prepared herself, those two teasing gazes still made her cheeks flush with embarrassment.
She imitated Lili’s indifferent demeanor, walking straight towards the bedroom with a cold look.
“Looks like you’ve corrupted her,” Yan Xinya whispered.
“Mm-hmm.”
“No wonder she’s a succubus~”
Their conversation, though whispered, was loud enough for Ning Chu to hear clearly. It made her quicken her steps, a bit flustered, as she hurried into the guest room.
After calming herself down for a moment, she grabbed a change of clothes and hurriedly crossed the living room again, heading to the bathroom for a shower.
“I checked earlier. Isn’t it a bit small? Wen Yang could handle it~”
“That one hasn’t even been opened.”
“Do you think Ning Chu will start liking these things too?”
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Ning Chu silently retorted in her mind, annoyed, as she quickly dashed into the bathroom.
Thankfully, when she returned to the living room after her shower, both Yan Xinya and Lili were acting like nothing had happened, not mentioning the previous topic.
Perhaps they realized that teasing her any further would mess with her fragile mindset.
“What are we having for lunch, Lili?” Yan Xinya asked, sidling up to Lili with a soft, playful tone. “I’m hungry~”
Lili turned her head toward Ning Chu, her gaze questioning.
“Anything is fine with me.”
Ning Chu didn’t have much of an opinion on lunch. She curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the movie playing on the screen.
She was still drowning in regret.
Though she had given herself away before, she could blame that on Wen Yang. But this time, she had willingly stepped into a whole new world.
Yan Xinya, ever the lightweight drinker, chimed in, “I want something good! Let’s have a little drink, girls~”
“How about grilled meat?” Lili suggested.
“No problem! Ning Chu, do you want to drink too?”
“Drinking at noon... what are you, an alcoholic?” Ning Chu frowned in mild disapproval but nodded anyway.
Here, she wasn’t worried about getting drunk or unsafe. Having a drink with her wolf-girl friend wasn’t a big deal.
Maybe drinking would help her forget everything that happened this morning.
Just pretend it never happened.
Seeing her agree, Yan Xinya quickly opened a food delivery app, ordering two cases of beer.
“I’ve got wine here.”
“I don’t like wine.”
“Okay.”
Ning Chu sighed softly, staring out the large window, her phone in hand, dazing off as she watched the view outside.
It was nearing the end of the year, and in this city, where fireworks and firecrackers weren’t banned, she could occasionally see fireworks soaring into the sky and hear the distant crackling of firecrackers.
From their high-floor apartment, they had a great view. It would be the perfect spot to watch fireworks on New Year's Eve.
She thought it would be nice to watch fireworks with Wen Yang, like those romantic scenes from movies and anime, with the two of them sitting close together, watching the sparkling fireworks in the distance. Even just sitting quietly like that sounded wonderful.
Too bad fireworks were banned back home for her.
“What are you thinking about?” Yan Xinya suddenly crawled over from the other end of the sofa, her fluffy tail swaying behind her. “Fireworks? But it’s daytime. You wouldn’t be able to see anything.”
“Let’s meet up again after the New Year and light some fireworks together!” the wolf-girl suggested.
Ning Chu shook her head and declined, “No, I’ll be busy after the New Year.”
“That’s true~ Visiting relatives... Ugh, getting bombarded with questions from a bunch of old folks I don’t even know! Just thinking about it is annoying.”
The thought of visiting relatives made Yan Xinya’s face scrunch up in frustration.
“The food’s here!”
Yan Xinya perked up, her wolf ears twitching as she jumped up from the sofa and ran to the door.
The grocery delivery and the grilled meat arrived together.
The grilled meat was raw, marinated, and came with sauces and lettuce. If Ning Chu had ordered, she definitely wouldn’t have picked something that required them to cook it themselves.
Lili went to the kitchen, grabbed a frying pan and an induction cooker, and set them up on the coffee table, naturally assuming the role of the chef.
“Let’s drink!”
Yan Xinya was excited, wagging her tail vigorously. Without waiting for the meat to finish cooking, she cracked open a bottle of beer and downed half of it in one go, her face quickly flushing red.
“Cheers~”
“Cheers, but take it easy,” Ning Chu said with a sigh, sipping her drink while reminding her friend, “Don’t drink recklessly when you’re out.”
“I only drink with people I know! Don’t worry! Besides, I’m strong!”
Sure, strong. It wasn’t that long ago that she had cried after being harassed by her instructor... which led to this whole situation of Ning Chu becoming a girl in the first place.
“Lili, drink with me!”
“I’m grilling the meat.”
“Just a little, come on~ It’s the holidays, no work later. It won’t hurt~”
“Alright, fine.”
...
The elevator doors opened.

Returning home after a long absence, the woman couldn’t contain the smile on her face.
She wondered how her daughter was doing at home... she was planning to give her a big surprise!
But the house was unusually quiet...
Carefully slipping off her high heels, she tiptoed towards the living room, peeking around the corner.
“!!!”
The first thing she noticed was the strong smell of alcohol. Then her eyes fell upon the sight of three girls, passed out drunk, sprawled all over the sofa.
Where’s my sweet, innocent daughter?
