“Time to head back, huh...”
On the last day of the holiday, Ning Chu’s state of mind was still terrible.
She hadn’t slept well in the tent the previous night, and since Wen Yang didn’t help her replenish her energy, she still looked exhausted, with red-rimmed eyes and a slight glimmer of tears always lingering at the corners of her eyes.
She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, yawning and stretching lazily.
“Ning Chu! You’re leaving so early?”
The rental tent had been returned, and several girls came over, chattering and laughing.
“Yeah, I have a morning ticket.” Ning Chu glanced back at them, yawning continuously. “I’ll sleep more once I’m on the train.”
“We need to go back and catch up on sleep too, so tired~”
Unlike Ning Chu, who hadn’t slept well due to the change in environment, Yan Xinya and the others were tired from staying up late playing Mahjong.
Who knew how they managed to play Mahjong by the streetlights at the beach until deep into the night?
Lily stopped beside her, looking down at the ride-hailing app on her phone, and unexpectedly asked in a soft voice, “Do you ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) need any help?”
“Huh? No, I’m fine.”
Although this succubus always seemed cold and aloof, Ning Chu could still feel Lily’s concern for her.
Since yesterday, Lily’s gaze had always seemed to fall on her.
“It’s just a small thing, just heading home for a bit. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” Ning Chu hooked her arm around Wen Yang’s. “And Wen Yang’s coming with me, so don’t worry.”
“Mm.”
Zhang Shaoqing, hands in his pockets and strolling casually, came over with Qianqian. “Do you want me to drive you guys to the station?”
“You only mention the car now?”
“You didn’t tell me in advance!”
“You guys are leaving now?” Qianqian only realized after a moment, “I thought we were going shopping together this afternoon.”
“Got some things to do, we’ll do it next time.”
Just then, the ride-hailing car Ning Chu had ordered arrived.
She waved to the others behind her, and when she looked up again, Wen Yang had already opened the back door like a valet, standing beside it, waiting for her to get in first.
“You go ahead and get in.”
Ning Chu grumbled as she bent down and sat in the car, shifting her hips to lean against the left side door, then casually told the driver the last digits of her phone number.
In the afternoon, she would finally meet the father she had never seen before~
Feeling the slight vibration as the car moved, she leaned her body sideways, resting her succubus horn on Wen Yang’s arm.
“So annoying.”
“What’s bothering you again?”
“I’m just tired, and I don’t want to go home...”
Ning Chu truly didn’t know how to face that father.
Maybe she should learn from Lily? Keep a stern face and act cold, like an ice queen?
But the thought of doing something she clearly didn’t want to do, but still forcing herself, made her feel uneasy, and she was anxious, like there was a huge stone pressing on her chest that urgently needed to be released in a satisfying outburst.
She lifted her pretty face, her slightly upturned eyes trembling, gazing at Wen Yang with seductive eyes.
Wen Yang’s arm wrapped around her back, lightly resting on her shoulder as he comforted her, “Aren’t I here with you?”
Seeing that her hint didn’t work, Ning Chu straightened her back, her chest pressing against Wen Yang’s body, and pitifully whispered, “I haven’t eaten all day... I’m hungry...”
Her body could clearly feel the rise and fall of the little succubus’ chest, the sensitive earlobe brushed by her sweet scent, and her nose was filled with the tempting fragrance of succubus perfume.
Almost instantly, Wen Yang reacted. He felt his scalp tingle and pulled back slightly, tugging his jacket down to block the rising tension, “Be careful outside.”
The little succubus was really a handful.
The past two days, he had slept beside Ning Chu but dared not move. Who knew how many passionate dreams he’d had.
And now, she was directly teasing him.
He awkwardly glanced at Ning Chu, and she realized that the driver was frequently glancing at them in the rearview mirror, clearly gossiping.
“Never seen lovers whispering to each other before?”
Ning Chu muttered in a low voice and then pretended to be serious, sitting up straight with her legs together elegantly, brushing through her slightly messy hair.
After sitting in the car for forty to fifty minutes in a half-drowsy state, they finally arrived at the train station.
The ticket was for the afternoon, and Ning Chu wasn’t in a hurry to enter the station. She turned her head, looking for a nearby budget hotel.
“Aren’t you going to have breakfast first?”
“I’ll eat at the hotel.”
“But I’m really hungry...”
Ning Chu pouted in dissatisfaction, considering that being hungry might affect Wen Yang’s energy for the day. She reluctantly nodded, “Then I want to eat mixed noodles.”
Wen Yang couldn’t help but smile when he saw her impatient, eager expression.
There was a time when Ning Chu used to resist any kind of physical contact, always looking displeased even when things were given to her, and always needing the lights off and acting shy and squirmy before getting into the mood.
But now, her mind was entirely preoccupied with lust, and she didn’t even pretend anymore.
After just one day, she was already this eager—truly a qualified succubus.
They found a place to have breakfast, and Wen Yang lowered his voice to tease her, “What will you do if I have to go on a business trip in the future? It’s only been one day, right?”
“I’ll just organize a silver party with Lily~”
If any other succubus had said that, Wen Yang would have believed it. But hearing Ning Chu say it just made him want to laugh.
She even brought up Lily, the succubus who would call for a relationship but couldn’t even speak to a man in real life—what a contrast.
Forget about a silver party, if these two succubi were left alone, they probably wouldn’t even dare go to a bar.
“By the way, I should call my mom to let her know I’m coming back.”
Only then did Ning Chu remember to check in with home. She took out her phone, dialing while saying, “Classes start tomorrow, I also need to ask the female ghost for leave.”
“Should I talk to the counselor?”
“No... shh~” Her call was picked up by her mother. She placed a finger on her lips to silence Wen Yang, then raised her voice energetically and spoke into the phone, “Mom! I’ll be back in the afternoon! I’ll be home around four.”
Her mother sounded particularly surprised, “This afternoon? Aren’t you supposed to be in class tomorrow?”
“Just taking one day off~ Wen Yang’s coming with me, make sure to cook more for dinner.”
“You didn’t come back a few days ago, don’t let it affect your studies...”
Ning Chu paused, then asked, “When did he come back?”
“A few days ago.”
“Did he... come to find you?”
“Mm.”
What nerve!
Upon hearing this, Ning Chu got a bit upset and impatiently asked, “Mom, when are you planning to divorce him? What does that guy say?”
“We’ll see...”
Hearing her mother’s ambiguous answer, Ning Chu furrowed her brows in worry.
Is she softening up? Her mother had planned to file for divorce before, so why hesitate now that he’s back and they could easily settle it?
And what about the uncle? He seemed nice enough!
Ugh! She suddenly didn’t want to go home and face it anymore!
No matter how much she hated that father, she couldn’t force her mother to change her mind.
She was just no good at this kind of family drama!
Compared to that, triggering the “little emperor’s drama” to solve it would be much easier. At least that way, she’d know what to do—either a passionate confession or some role-playing.
