Chapter 326. Gift
In the bathroom, Ning Chu took off her cotton shorts and little vest, changing into her winter outfit for going out.
The collar of her trench coat was adorned with a thick, fluffy white fur trim, and the tail of her long pants peeked out, able to stretch freely beneath the coat.
She looked pure and charming in the mirror, almost entirely dressed in white, but hidden beneath this winter attire were silver patterns and a heart-shaped tail.
Stretching lazily, she put on her white knitted gloves and pushed the door open to step out of the bathroom.
The solution to the plot problem was already in her mind, but she worried whether it would have the effect she envisioned.
Ning Chu’s cheeks flushed red as she shyly glanced at Wen Yang, who was sitting in a chair.
“Suddenly, what are you buying?” Wen Yang looked at her curiously, trying to comprehend the little demoness’s intentions.
What’s the big deal about buying something? Why is she blushing?
“Um… just come with me, okay?”
Seeing her shyly avert her gaze, Wen Yang scratched the back of his head and got up to follow her.
In contrast to the lively nights, the afternoon in the village was quite desolate, with most residents still at work and street vendors not yet out in force. The narrow, somewhat dirty streets had sparse foot traffic.
Ning Chu instinctively held Wen Yang’s hand, feeling the warmth radiating from his large hand even through the gloves, her face slightly adorned with a faint blush as she kept her head low, eyes darting to the shops on either side.
If she remembered correctly, there should be an adult shop nearby.
She had seen the sign while shopping with Wen Yang before.
Wen Yang might accidentally consume some spring medicine at a banquet, leading to an incredible surge in fighting power that needed to be released, but it certainly didn’t mean someone had to feed the tiger!
Since her hands would get chafed, and her jaw could dislocate, relying on herself would make her a custard bun; so what about a powered cup?
As long as there’s power, it wouldn’t matter how rampant and lasting it was.
The only concern was that this thing seemed to offer a disjointed experience—some parts were continually praised while others were rejected.
But Wen Yang was merely a little virgin; experiencing something novel for the first time, he should be able to handle it, right?
Suddenly, Ning Chu halted her steps, tugging on Wen Yang’s hand as he was about to move forward.
“Hmm? What’s up?” Wen Yang looked confused, glancing around. The only shop nearby was a standard convenience store.
He followed Ning Chu’s gaze to a storefront hidden behind curtains and instinctively looked up to see the faded sign reading “Adult Products” in big letters.
He sensed Ning Chu gripping his hand tighter, her shyness becoming more pronounced.
“Are you tired of those things at home?”
That shouldn’t be the case; Ning Chu always reacted intensely every time they used them and didn’t seem bored.
“!!”
Ning Chu glared at Wen Yang in embarrassment but quickly deflated, lowering her head.
There were quite a few pedestrians around…
If possible, she would have preferred to buy online or go when it was quiet at night.
But there was no time.
What a proper girl! Being seen entering such a shop! Who knew what those passersby would think! Who knew how the shop owner would react!
Even men usually lacked the courage to enter such places!
And in Xiaohuangwen, such shops frequently appeared.
“You go in.” She ducked behind Wen Yang and gently pushed him forward. “Go!”
Wen Yang looked completely baffled. “What do you want to buy? Why not buy it online?”
“A cup… um… to give you.”
“Why would I need that when I have a girlfriend?”
He was even more confused, staring blankly at Ning Chu’s flushed face.
“I… you can use it when I’m not around.”
“Not like that…” Wen Yang glanced around, noticing the eclectic crowd drawn in by their good looks.
He also had some sense of shame, okay? This was so embarrassing!
“Things like that are better bought online, right? Besides, I’m not interested.”
Ning Chu gave Wen Yang’s back another gentle push, urging him, “There’s no time, hurry.”
Seeing the color on her face deepen, Wen Yang decisively made a stand. “No way, we’re going in together.”
“……”
She hesitated in silence for a moment, put on her hat, grabbed Wen Yang’s arm, and headed inside the store, keeping her head low.
It wasn’t out of curiosity or embarrassment… she simply wanted to disrupt the plot to prevent a girl or herself from running into trouble!
Unfortunately, the plot didn’t specify who slipped the drug, so this was all quite troublesome.
The two tugged at each other as they reached the shop entrance, and Wen Yang awkwardly lifted the curtain, peering through the glass door.
He sighed with relief internally.
Thankfully, there was no shop owner in sight—only a few vending machines that looked like drink coolers.
He felt the restraint on his arm lessen, and he turned to grab Ning Chu, who was ready to bolt. “What are you running for? There’s no one inside.”
“N-no one?”
Only then did Ning Chu lift her head, eyes wide with curiosity. “Then let’s hurry in!”
“Why do you sound so happy?”
“What’s wrong with seeing the world?!”
She immediately cast aside her earlier shyness and actively pushed the door open.
Like she was in a supermarket, she surveyed the items in the vending machines, occasionally gasping in surprise. “Wow~ So scary!”
“So expensive!”
“What’s this?!”
She exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder, her curiosity satisfied like never before, but the rush of embarrassment surged through her, leaving her cute face burning.
Wen Yang, hands in his pockets, cautiously followed behind the speechless Ning Chu, his gaze unable to resist darting a glance or two, his ears slightly reddening.
Though he had already evolved into a shameless person, the sights here still struck him hard.
Ning Chu, on the other hand, had seen weirder things at Lily’s house.
“Wen Yang, this one.”
“I really don’t need that; not interested.”
“The largest size… um…” She turned her head to glance at Wen Yang’s lower half, mumbling softly, “It should work, right?”
Wen Yang began to doubt if the little demoness was getting too lazy to handle things on her own.
Is she planning to use this kind of thing to deal with him in the future?
“Got it!” Ning Chu turned back, shoving the large box into Wen Yang’s arms with a cute yet teasing smile. “It’s a gift! Accept it!”
“……”
“Make sure to wash it when you get home; it’s my heartfelt gesture~”
Wen Yang helplessly unzipped his coat, hiding the box adorned with sensitive patterns inside.
He sighed in resignation. “So expensive, and you bought it without thinking… since we’re here, let’s get this too?”
Ning Chu paused, following Wen Yang’s finger to see a set of lingerie.
“Don’t waste money; they’re all so pricey.”
“I need to get back quickly; worry about this tonight during your gathering.”
“When I’m not around, you’ll have to rely on it, so treat it well~”
Even though Wen Yang didn’t trigger the plot this time due to being drugged, the newly bought items would make Ning Chu’s future work a little easier.
Perfect!
