"Sis! Time to get up!"
"Mom’s calling you for lunch!"
"The sun’s shining on your butt already~"
It was already noon, and sunlight filled the small bedroom, adding a bit of warmth to the chilly room.
The girl lay on her side, one bent leg pressing down on a pillow, wrapped snugly in blankets with only a slender tail peeking out.
At the sound of the loud chatter, her little heart-shaped tail tip twitched slightly. The small succubus’s brows furrowed momentarily but then relaxed as she shifted her waist, continuing to sleep soundly.
"Sis! Wake up!" Hei Dou called out from beside the bed, her cat eyes drifting downward, unable to resist staring at the cute tail tip, her pupils following its little movements.
As a cat, it was nearly impossible to ignore something as enticing as a “cat toy.”
She struggled to resist, but eventually, her hand inched forward and quickly pinned the tip of Ning Chu’s tail down onto the bed.
The sudden jolt caused Ning Chu to let out a small, surprised noise in her sleep, scaring Hei Dou, who quickly pulled her hand back, watching her sister nervously.
"She’s sleeping really deeply today..."
Hei Dou murmured to herself, surprised. Her sister was usually the first to wake up, or at least the first to return home.
But last night, when Hei Dou had fallen asleep, her sister was still on her phone, and she had no idea how late Ning Chu had stayed up.
Disturbed from her deep slumber, Ning Chu gradually drifted back to consciousness, her brows knitted together as she let out a soft, vague hum. She pushed the blanket off, rolled onto her back, and absentmindedly scratched her belly under her pajamas.
As she did, Hei Dou caught sight of a faint pink mark on Ning Chu’s lower abdomen.
The design was an adorable, symmetrical heart shape with lines extending outward, faintly resembling a womb symbol, giving off an aura of sensuality.
"Is Ning Chu still not awake?"
Ning Yuan’s voice came from outside as he yawned and walked into the room, only to see Hei Dou suddenly hop onto the bed, lying down above Ning Chu’s belly with her tail held rigidly straight in excitement.
"???"
"Only her husband can look at that!"
"What the hell?! Is Ning Chu sleeping without pants on?"
He scrambled out of the room, flustered.
The commotion finally brought Ning Chu to her senses as she blinked open her sore eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, her face a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
"Sis! Lunch is ready!"
Hei Dou, ever thoughtful, pulled the blanket over to cover her stomach.
"Mm, okay..."
Ning Chu yawned and stretched her arms above her head, arching her back in a long stretch that lasted over ten seconds.
"Why’d you sleep so long today?"
"Stayed up reading until after four."
She was finally more awake, rubbing her eyes and pushing herself up, letting out several yawns in succession as she mumbled, "Still feel drained..."
It wasn’t just from lack of sleep; compared to the usual energy she’d feel after “feeding,” she felt surprisingly listless now.
Scratching her messy hair, she climbed out of bed and followed Hei Dou out of the room.
The aroma of a rich, meaty dish wafted through the air, and from the smell alone, Ning Chu could tell there was braised pork on the menu for lunch.
After washing up, she sat at the dining table.
Her mother, already halfway through her meal, glanced at Ning Chu, her brows knitting at her daughter’s disheveled, sleep-creased face and bird’s nest hair. "Can’t you at least tidy yourself up? What kind of girl is this messy?"
"We’re at home; no one’s here to see me~"
"And I’m not someone?" Her mother gave her a glare. "Eat up, then go fix yourself up! I’ll take you for a haircut this afternoon."
"Why a haircut... I want to let it grow out."
"Just a trim – look at how messy your hair is."
Ning Chu scratched her head and mumbled, "Got it."
Whether it was due to her succubus nature or her hair just growing fast, the longest ends now touched her shoulders, but without a proper cut, the back always curled up against her neck.
She felt lackluster today, even as she ate.
Her mind kept drifting to random thoughts, like a mischievous little devil whispering in her ear.
Thinking about it, even without the typical romantic protagonist-succubus combination, even normal married couples might do it once a day, right?
Some might even go two or three times a day.
Though her “matches” with Wen Yang were more intense than usual, where others might have a quick “session,” they would go round after round, trading blow for blow, fighting it out until thoroughly spent.

Of course, she always lost – either she’d faint from exhaustion or fall asleep right after tidying up.
So maybe it wasn’t necessary to abstain after all?
Ning Chu almost convinced herself but quickly remembered that her wallet couldn’t handle it if she didn’t.
Curse that thick-skinned Zhang Shaoqing!
So shameless, still squatting in Wen Yang’s rental!
"Is Wen Yang not coming over today?" her mother suddenly asked. "I made extra rice on purpose."
"Just save it for fried rice tonight... He’s a bit busy these days."
"You should’ve said so."
"I just woke up..."
Her mother rolled her eyes. "You sleep like a pig. I could hear Hei Dou calling you nonstop and you didn’t wake up."
"Stayed up reading a novel."
Ning Chu looked down, typing a message to Wen Yang on her phone, when her eyes suddenly lit up, and she started eating faster.
Important news! Zhang Shaoqing had gone out to job hunt again!
A perfect chance to sneak over!
No, no, abstinence...
In broad daylight, if she accidentally made noise, wouldn’t the entire building know who it was?
Should she buy a gag for herself?
Ning Chu suddenly realized that after a day of abstinence, her desire was even harder to resist today.
"Come with me to the hair salon this afternoon," her mother said, clearly spotting her restlessness.
"Alright..."
Her mother turned to Ning Yuan. "When do you go back to work?"
"I’ll leave tomorrow, but I’ll head back to my rental first to rest," he replied, adding a piece of braised pork to Hei Dou’s bowl. Then he reminded Ning Chu, "Don’t forget to call me before school starts – I’ll give you a lift."
Still thinking about Lily, huh?
Ning Chu’s eyes crinkled with a sly grin. "Don’t forget you promised us a meal."
"You’re taking her?"
Seeing her mother’s confusion, she quickly explained, "My brother started dating online~ I’m about to have a sister-in-law~"
"Don’t make stuff up! We’re not even dating! It’s way too early for that!" Ning Yuan protested, his face turning a bright shade of red.
But his mother ignored him completely, looking at Ning Chu with delight and asking eagerly, "What does she look like? Is she nice? What’s her family like? Any requests for a bride price?"
"Um..."
Ning Chu suspected her mother was already fast-forwarding to grandkids.
"She’s my friend, Lily, and she’s a succubus..."
"Oh?" Her mother’s excitement faded, giving Ning Yuan a once-over with a bit of skepticism before shaking her head with a sigh.
Ning Yuan nearly lost his composure.
