“Mom! Sister’s back!”
As soon as they entered the house, Black Bean excitedly grabbed Ning Chu and pulled her toward the kitchen.
It seemed that every time she came back, her mother would be in the kitchen, preparing a good meal for her, who hadn’t returned for a long time.
Hearing the noise, her mother walked out from the kitchen and, with a smiling reproach, said, “Look at the time! Ning Xin is almost asleep waiting for you.”
“It’s almost twelve, right?”
“Why are you so late? Didn’t you say you’d take the 7 o’clock bus? I’ve reheated the dishes several times.”
Ning Chu's gaze flickered slightly, feeling guilty. She casually made up an excuse, “There was something sudden at school, so I had to change my ticket...”
She couldn’t exactly tell her mother that she was suddenly craving Wen Yang, right?
And that was only because Wen Yang had taken too long...
She pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table, quickly changing the topic, “Mom, I’m hungry!”
“I’ll heat the dishes, wait a moment.”
Seeing that her mother didn’t press further, she turned and went back to the kitchen, Ning Chu let out a sigh of relief.
Ning Chu wasn’t sure whether it was the succubus appearance or her good skincare, or maybe the care of a certain uncle, but after several years, her mother looked almost unchanged. Besides her hairstyle, nothing seemed to have changed.
Her mother still looked like she was in her thirties, with a charming and graceful figure. Her curves were as full as they had been years ago, without any signs of aging.
As for Ning Chu, she herself hadn’t changed much either over the years. Her face still had a bit of a youthful look, but the air of allure had long since overshadowed any remaining innocence.
"Sis~"
Black Bean rushed over excitedly, being thoughtful enough to bring over the bowls and chopsticks, neatly placing them on the table.
"Why isn’t brother-in-law back yet?" she asked, tugging at Ning Chu’s coat.
"He’s working to make money to support me~"
"Oh~"
Black Bean nodded, as if she understood, but immediately asked again, “Sis, how long are you staying this time?”
“About ten days, I think? Until Mom and Uncle get married.”
“Didn’t you used to stay at home for a long time during summer vacation...”
At school, Ning Chu had to deal with Yan Xinya, and at home, she had to handle Black Bean—this cat and dog duo were always overly lively and clingy, making Ning Chu feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately, her mother had just finished reheating the food and brought it to the table.
Although it was already late at night, her mother had prepared three dishes for her.
Braised pork ribs, steamed three-eyed crabs, and a bowl of sweet taro mash.
Ning Chu cracked open the crab, splitting it in half and handing the yellower parts to Black Bean, who was staring eagerly at the dish. She covered Black Bean’s constantly chatting mouth and asked, “Mom, where’s the stuff you sent back recently?”
“It’s in the downstairs storage room. You can go tidy up tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
“After you eat, quickly take Ning Xin to wash up and sleep,” her mother yawned as she walked toward the bedroom, muttering, “If I get wrinkles tomorrow, it’s all your fault for making me stay up late.”
“It’s all my fault~”
“Remember to clean up after you eat.”
Hearing the bedroom door close, Ning Chu lowered her head. One hand held the crab as she picked at it, while the other picked up her phone to chat with Wen Yang.
Black Bean leaned over, trying to peek at her phone screen, but Ning Chu quickly noticed.
“Go eat,” Ning Chu said, turning slightly and using her body to block the chat screen from Black Bean.
This was not something that could be looked at casually. Ning Chu was very bold when chatting with Wen Yang online, and the topics were not suitable for ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) children under eighteen. If anyone expanded on these conversations, they could end up writing a few adult stories themselves.
"Sis~ Are we sleeping together tonight?"
“Yeah, just don’t snore and keep me awake,” she glanced at Black Bean and casually grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe Black Bean’s mouth, “You’re already so grown up and still eating like that, can’t even keep your mouth clean.”
“You do the same.”
“I’m at home like this.”
When eating outside, although Ning Chu didn’t have the most elegant manners, she still ate slowly... After all, Wen Yang ate a lot. If she didn’t eat slower, she’d be stuck waiting around doing nothing after finishing her food.
“I eat like a lady when I’m out, alright?! Or Mom will slap my hand!”
Black Bean’s tail was always upright, like an antenna. The tip of her tail swayed slightly, matching her current excitement.
“Sis! Mom says I’ll definitely be taller than you in the future!”
Why bring this up again?!
Ning Chu, who had once been a man, always found her height of one meter sixty a painful point.
She clicked her tongue, “Wait until you’re taller than me, then we’ll see, maybe you won’t grow anymore tomorrow.”
“Impossible!”
“Even if you’re taller than me...” she puffed out her chest proudly.
But you’ll never be bigger than me!
A cat-girl’s average chest size was nothing compared to a succubus’ wide proportions.
Black Bean glanced at Ning Chu’s proudly high chest, then turned her head and mumbled, “Feels so awkward.”
“......”
You’ll envy it once you grow up!
Ning Chu cursed in her heart but had no words to refute Black Bean’s comment.
Succubi were inherently a bit provocative, and there was no denying that...
Coming home felt nice, relaxing and carefree, with no need to worry about what to eat for each meal.
Though her mother would tease and manage her, she always made her favorite dishes. Black Bean could be a bit rowdy, but she was still a cute and obedient little sidekick.
But Ning Chu still preferred living with Wen Yang in their rented apartment.
After all, such warmth could probably only last for a week. After that, her mother would surely find everything wrong with her again, and forget about making her food—she’d probably end up eating leftovers from lunch for dinner.
After eating, Ning Chu stretched and stood up. Black Bean, being sensible, began cleaning the dishes and tidying up the table.
“I’m going to take a shower first.”
“Okay~”
She grabbed her phone, took her suitcase, and went into the next room. As she opened the suitcase, she greeted Wen Yang through her phone, “I’m going to take a shower and sleep. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
“Live stream your shower?”
She paused, then typed expressionlessly, “That’s perverted.”
“Then I can only be perverted with you.”
Even though she kept a straight face, and Wen Yang wasn’t in front of her, the idea of this kind of play that she had never experienced made her blush. Yet it also triggered some naughty thoughts in her.
So this is how it works~
Ning Chu hesitated, listening for sounds from the kitchen and master bedroom. Quickly finding her pajamas from the suitcase, she hurriedly carried her phone and rushed into the bathroom.
She placed her phone on the bathroom shelf, hesitated for a moment, then clicked on the video call. Wen Yang’s image appeared on the screen.
The moment she saw Wen Yang, a seductive flush spread across her embarrassed face.
“You’re really perverted...” she lowered her voice, reminding him, “Don’t talk, my mom will hear.”
Wen Yang nodded eagerly.
Ning Chu tried to look indifferent, slowly removing her clothes and revealing her smooth, delicate skin.
She had bathed with Wen Yang countless times before, often fainting and being carried to the bathroom for cleaning.
But this was the first time, with a screen between them, that she felt both humiliated and intensely excited by being watched by Wen Yang...
Looks like I’ve really become a qualified succubus and female lead.
