Ning Chu had once been a rather independent person—she went to an unfamiliar city for school, worked part-time, rented her own apartment, and found internships all on her own...
Although at that time, she still relied on the living expenses her grandparents provided to get by, she had grown used to facing everything on her own.
But ever since she became a girl and started living with Wen Yang, she had slowly been worn down.
That guy always took special care of her. Even something as small as picking up takeout, ordering food in the cafeteria, or walking down the street—Wen Yang would always help her carry her bag and pack things she might need.
She didn’t need to worry about anything; all she had to do was wait and sit there, and Wen Yang would happily take care of most things for her.
Even the “fun” things were usually initiated by Wen Yang, and she generally just followed along... like the time she dressed as a bunny girl for the New Year’s holiday. Although a rabbit with horns was quite strange.
This led to a bit of discomfort when she got home.
When she went out with Black Bean, she would always look around first when she saw something she wanted to eat, hoping Wen Yang would help her buy it. At home, when she wanted a soda, she would subconsciously ask Wen Yang to go downstairs and get it.
Clearly, from the beginning, she had been wary of being too spoiled by Wen Yang’s care, yet she still ended up being treated like a princess, and strangely enough, she enjoyed it.
“Wen... Black Bean, I want a soda.”
“Go buy it yourself~ I’m doing homework.”
Ning Chu turned her head and looked at Black Bean, who was sitting at the desk doing homework. Her lips moved, but she held back the urge to make Black Bean do it.
She still /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ needed to be a little independent.
Always being taken care of wasn’t good, even if it was comfortable.
She thought about getting up and going downstairs, but when she thought of the little shop at the entrance of the community, which would take at least ten minutes back and forth, she collapsed lazily onto the desk.
“Sis~ are you asking me to buy it for you?”
“If you want to.”
Black Bean, barefoot, scampered across the wooden floor to Ning Chu’s side, tilting her head as she watched her sister lying on the desk.
“But I’m too lazy to go downstairs~”
“......”
“I want to watch a movie tonight! A classmate said this animation is really good!”
Without hesitation, Ning Chu nodded, “Okay, I’ll go with you tonight.”
At least Black Bean’s goal wasn’t just food.
“I’ve never had popcorn! Mom says it’s high in calories, and if you eat too much, you’ll get fat.”
“You’re not trying to watch the movie just for the popcorn, are you?” Ning Chu instantly saw through Black Bean’s idea.
This cat now knew how to pretend a bit, but when popcorn was mentioned, her mouth almost watered.
Black Bean embarrassedly swayed her ears, then quickly ran off. “I’ll go buy the soda!”
But she quickly turned back. “Sis! I don’t have any money!”
“Take my phone.”
“Okay~”
Soon, the sound of a door slamming shut came from outside. Ning Chu pursed her lips, stretched lazily, and got up to start unpacking the luggage that had been sent back recently.
Most of the items in the luggage were small things—half-used conditioner, almost untouched whitening serum, skincare water, and a wig she bought on a whim.
Maybe because of her succubus nature, Ning Chu noticed that even without skincare products, her skin still looked pretty good. She just needed to hydrate it regularly to prevent it from getting too dry or itchy.
As for the wig, she realized after buying it that with the horns growing on her head, she couldn’t use a full wig—only wig pieces worked.
She unpacked the various things—useful items were set aside, useless things went into the cupboard... until she came to the last package, which was tightly wrapped.
While Black Bean was out and her mother was watching TV in the bedroom, Ning Chu hurriedly tore open the package and hid it!
She certainly didn’t want to face the same awkward situation as with Lili... If her family found out, even though her mother knew she was a qualified succubus, it would still be embarrassing enough to want to escape this house.
Ning Chu tore at the tape binding the package, but after struggling for a while without success, she ran to the kitchen to grab a pair of scissors.
The door to the master bedroom was open, and her mother, seeing her daughter running past the door and back again, curiously got up from the bed and peered into the second bedroom. But just then, the door to the second bedroom was slammed shut, with a “click” as it locked.
“So mysterious.”
Her daughter’s little thoughts were easy to guess.
Inside the room, Ning Chu quickly locked the door and silently tiptoed around, as if making any sound would expose her.
She opened the package and found a large box inside. When she lifted the lid, she saw a bunch of strange toys with various functions.
She had once been more reserved, especially when it came to Lili’s recommendations. She always acted embarrassed when faced with such items.
But now, her collection also included some bizarre “monsters.” There were heated ones, extendable ones, and swaying ones, each with its own special function.
Her collection might even be more extensive than Lili’s.
As a succubus and a female lead who had gone through many storylines with the male protagonist, having a collection like this was pretty normal, right?
But it absolutely couldn’t be discovered by her family!
She opened the box just enough to glance inside, then quickly shut it. Looking around the room, she searched for a place to hide it.
This box was too large. There wasn’t a drawer big enough to hide it, and if she split it up, it might easily be found by her family. Black Bean, who knew her well, could open any drawer.
So, she looked toward the top of the wardrobe, where blankets were kept, a place near the ceiling.
However, it was too high for her to reach even with a stool. She might need to get a folding ladder from the balcony.
Just then, the sound of the door opening startled Ning Chu, making her jump. She quickly shoved the box under the bed.
“Ning Xin, come here for a second!”
But her mother was calling Black Bean outside.
Ning Chu froze, pushed the box further under the bed, then got up and opened the door, looking outside.
Her mother was sitting on the couch, her slender succubus tail raised high, swaying in the air. Upon seeing this, Black Bean’s DNA seemed to be activated, and she tiptoed toward the “cat toy,” but the tail caught her, pulling her around the sofa as she jumped.
When she heard the door open, her mother looked up in surprise.
“Already?”
“Huh?”
Seeing Ning Chu’s confused expression, her mother awkwardly pulled back her tail. “Never mind, Ning Xin, go play with your sister.”
“Oh...”
Not catching the toy, Black Bean was a bit down, and she came over to Ning Chu, offering the soda.
“Do your homework, and I’ll let your tail play with you.”
“Eh? No! It hurts when I get caught!”
“Okay!”
Black Bean cheerfully ran off into the bedroom.
Ning Chu, slightly worried, followed her in, afraid that the box under the bed would be discovered.
But who would be so idle as to look under the bed?
Even if the black box was seen, no one would lie on the floor, trying hard to pull it out and open it, right?
She couldn’t shake the feeling that she had a bunch of flags sticking out of her back.
