"Why hasn’t Qianqian woken up yet? The sun’s already shining on her butt~"
Yan Xinya slouched on the bed, her feet propped up on the coffee table, as she lazily scrolled through videos on her phone.
She couldn’t sit still for long; after lying down for just a little while, she was already bored out of her mind.
"Ning Chu?"
Lily, carrying a plate of egg rolls, walked over and asked in confusion.
"She got pulled into the bedroom by Wen Yang for some unmentionable stuff~"
Yan Xinya didn’t buy the wolf girl’s nonsense and bent down to grab a few bottles of milk from under the coffee table, glancing toward the guest room.
Just in time, Ning Chu, her face flushed red, hurriedly ran out of the room.
It looked like she had been teased.
"Breakfast is ready," Lily pointed to the food on the coffee table.
"Okay~ I’ll go wake up Qianqian," Ning Chu replied and walked toward the other guest room while asking, "What’s going on today? Are we going out to hang out?"
"Anything’s fine."
She arrived at the door, lightly knocked, but when she didn’t hear any movement from inside, she pushed the door open and peeked in.
In the cramped guest room, Qianqian was lying still in bed, completely unaware of Ning Chu’s arrival.
"She really sleeps so soundly..."
Ning Chu hesitated, unsure whether to wake Qianqian up.
After all, it was a holiday, and there weren’t any group activities planned, so letting Qianqian sleep a little longer didn’t seem like a problem.
Especially since Ning Chu herself hated getting up early during holidays.
After thinking it over for a moment, she felt like something was off.
Qianqian looked like she was in a deep sleep, but her face was unusually rosy, and her eyelashes were fluttering slightly. Her breathing was irregular as her chest rose and fell.
Very suspicious... Why is she pretending to sleep?
Was she rewarding herself earlier?
Ning Chu’s succubus mind immediately wandered to a strange direction, and she smirked with a mischievous expression, quietly entering the room and approaching the bed.
Just as she was about to do something to Qianqian, a hand suddenly grabbed her tail, which had slipped out from under her skirt.
"Ah~"
A sharp tingling sensation surged up her spine to her head, causing her to lose all strength and collapse weakly onto the bed.
"Eh? Did you react that much?" Qianqian was startled, quickly releasing her grip on Ning Chu’s tail. "I just wanted to try the feel, you never let me touch it..."
She looked at Ning Chu, who was lying on the bed, gasping. Ning Chu’s alluring face turned bright red in an instant, and her eyes were filled with a hazy expression.
She looked so tempting that any man would be left parched.
Qianqian was more flustered now, awkwardly apologizing, "Ning Chu, are you okay? I’m sorry~"
"It’s... it’s fine."
After a moment, Ning Chu regained some strength, groaning as she flipped over and sat on the edge of the bed, propping herself up with her arm.
She glared at Qianqian with a hint of annoyance, "Didn’t you know you shouldn’t touch a succubus’ tail like that?"
And you attacked me from behind! No martial arts!
The sensitivity of her tail was a bit much. Usually, even if she wasn’t in the mood, Wen Yang could quickly get her in the mood by tugging lightly on her tail or touching the tip or base of her heart-shaped tail.
"It hurts..."
Qianqian gave an awkward smile, though Ning Chu didn’t seem to be in pain at all.
"Come on, breakfast is ready. I’ll go use the bathroom."
Ning Chu hurriedly ran to the bathroom, needing to freshen up before Yan Xinya noticed anything strange.
When she returned to the living room, the egg rolls had already been half-eaten by Yan Xinya and Wen Yang. Lily was sitting gracefully in the corner of the sofa, watching as the others devoured the breakfast she had made, a faint smile now on her usually calm face.
"Try it."
Lily looked up at Ning Chu and gestured to the egg rolls.
"They’re really good! Lily, you’re amazing!" Yan Xinya said with her cheeks puffed up, her speech a little muffled, "Lily, marry me! Don’t let men get you!"
"No," Lily replied firmly.
"You don’t love me anymore~" Yan Xinya lamented dramatically.
Qianqian, covering her small mouth, looked at the two with wide eyes, her gaze full of curiosity. Ning Chu, however, understood that both of them were just normal in terms of sexual orientation.
Especially {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} for a succubus—there was no way they didn’t like men.
After all, high-quality male hormones were irresistible to succubi.
Ning Chu pulled a small stool over and sat beside Wen Yang, taking an egg roll and popping it into her mouth.
Hmm~ It tasted a bit strange, but better than she had expected~
It was just egg skin wrapped around hot dogs and jerky, simple snacks, but it tasted surprisingly good.
As expected from Lily.
The group, sitting around the coffee table, started discussing their plans for camping at the beach tonight. Yan Xinya was particularly excited, already imagining grilling food on the beach.
"Does Lily have a barbecue grill? If not, we can go buy one at the supermarket, and get some meat too~"
"Enjoying barbecue while the sea breeze blows, then collapsing into tents when we’re tired—sounds perfect!"
Qianqian still seemed a bit worried, "What if it’s really cold?"
"Then we’ll squeeze together for warmth~ If we can make a bonfire, even better!"
Ning Chu didn’t participate in the discussion, focusing on her breakfast. But after eating just two egg rolls, her plate was already empty.
Most of it had been eaten by Yan Xinya.
Her stomach was still empty. She pursed her lips, but Wen Yang proactively held out the last egg roll toward her mouth. "Here."
"Aren’t you eating?"
"You eat it."
Without waiting for a reply, Ning Chu grabbed the egg roll from his hand and took a big bite, asking, "Have you ever gone camping before?"
"No."
"That makes sense..."
She yawned tiredly and rubbed her eyes. Just as she was about to say something else, her phone in her jacket pocket started vibrating.
Taking out her phone, she saw it was a call from her mother. She got up and walked to the hallway, leaning against the wall to answer.
"Hello? Mom~ What’s up?" she asked, her voice unconsciously softer than usual, even with a bit of a coquettish tone.
When she was alone with Wen Yang, her voice would be even sweeter, with a hint of seductive charm.
"Not coming back for the holiday? You won’t even let me call you?"
Her mother teasingly scolded her, asking about her life, reminding her to go to bed early and wake up early, asking about her grades, and telling her to eat more fruit...
But then, her mother’s tone suddenly shifted to one of concern. "You need to control yourself a bit, what if Wen Yang can’t handle it and leaves?"
"This...?"
Ning Chu was taken aback. "Shouldn’t that be me worried about him?"
She knew her mother was worried she had encountered some scumbag man who would abandon her, just like the man from her past, and could only sigh helplessly. "Mom~ You’re overthinking things."
She wasn’t as strong as her mother thought.
"Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
Her mother’s cheerful tone shifted, becoming much more somber. "He’s... back..."
"Ah?"
Ning Chu froze. "Who? Dad?"
"Mm."
Her biological father? Why was he back now?
Wasn’t this supposed to happen when she was in her first year?
