Chapter 522. Home
“Mom! Sister’s back!”
As soon as she entered the house, Hei Dou excitedly dragged Ning Chu towards the kitchen.
It seemed like every time she came home, her mother would be in the kitchen, preparing a delicious meal for her after being away for so long.
Hearing the commotion, Mom came out of the kitchen with a smiling reprimand, “Look at the time! Ning Xin is about to fall asleep waiting for you.”
“It’s almost twelve, right?”
“Why did you come back so late? Didn’t you say you’d take the 7 o’clock bus? I’ve heated the food several times.”
Ning Chu’s gaze flickered with a hint of guilt as she fabricated an excuse, “Something came up at school, so I had to change my ticket…”
She couldn’t possibly tell her mom that she suddenly craved Wen Yang, could she?
That was just too bad for Wen Yang, who lasted too long…
She pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table, quickly changing the subject, “Mom, I’m hungry!”
“I’ll heat up the dishes, just wait a sec.”
Seeing that her mother didn’t pursue the questioning further and stepped back into the kitchen, Ning Chu finally sighed in relief.
She wasn’t sure if it was the succubus’s appearance that defied the passing years or if it was because of Uncle’s pampering, but over the years, except for her hairstyle, mom looked hardly any different.
Mom still appeared to be in her thirties, exuding the charm of a beautiful young woman, and there were no signs of her once voluptuous figure losing shape.
As for herself, her appearance hadn’t changed much over the years either; looking at her face, she still exhibited some childishness, though that aura of seduction had completely overshadowed her youthful qualities.
“Sis~”
Hei Dou dashed over, eagerly assisting by setting out the bowls and chopsticks neatly on the table.
“Why hasn’t Brother-in-law come back?” she tugged at Ning Chu’s coat.
“He’s working hard to make money to support me~”
“Oh~”
Hei Dou nodded, somewhat understanding but then continued to ask, “Sis, how long are you staying at home this time?”
“About ten days, I guess? Until Mom and Uncle get married.”
“Weren’t you always home for so long during summer vacation…?”
Dealing with Yan Xinya at school and Hei Dou at home, both this cat and dog were overly lively and clingy, leaving Ning Chu overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Mom had timely prepared the dishes and brought them to the table.
Even though it was late at night, she still made three dishes for Ning Chu.
Braised spare ribs, steamed three-eyed crabs, and a bowl of sweet taro pudding.
Ning Chu split the crab in half and handed the more yellow part to Hei Dou, who was watching eagerly, silencing her incessant chatter, “Mom, where’s the stuff you sent back a while ago?”
“It’s in the storage room downstairs, go sort it out tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
“After you eat, hurry and take Ning Xin to shower and sleep.” Mom yawned, heading towards the bedroom, muttering, “If I wake up with wrinkles tomorrow, I’m blaming you for keeping me up late.”
“Blame me, blame me~”
“Remember to clean up after you’re done eating.”
When Ning Chu heard the bedroom door close, she lowered her head, one hand grabbing a crab to nibble while the other picked up her phone to chat with Wen Yang.
Hei Dou peered over, trying to sneak a glance at her phone screen but was quickly caught.
“Go eat your food.”
Ning Chu turned to block Hei Dou from seeing her conversation with Wen Yang.
This wasn’t something just anyone should see; her conversations with Wen Yang online were usually quite daring, and the topics weren’t suitable for under-eighteens. It could easily fill a few chapters of some romance novel!
“Sis~ Are we sleeping together tonight?”
“Yeah, just don’t snore and disturb my sleep.” She glanced at Hei Dou, casually wiping the corners of Hei Dou’s mouth with a tissue, “You’re already so grown-up and you still make such a mess when eating, showing no manners at all.”
“You do the same.”
“I’m like this at home.”
When outside, though Ning Chu wasn’t exactly graceful but still managed to eat slowly… after all, Wen Yang ate a lot, and if she didn’t take her time, she’d just be waiting around with nothing else to do once she finished eating.
“I eat very ladylike when I’m out, okay? Otherwise, Mom would hit my hands!”
Hei Dou’s cat tail was always high up, like an antenna, with its tip swaying slightly, reflecting her excitement at that moment.
“Sis! Mom said I’ll definitely be taller than you later!”
Why is this brought up again?!
Having once been a man, Ning Chu’s height of one meter sixty had always been a sore spot for her.
She sneered, “Let’s see if you’re taller than me first—who’s to say you won’t stop growing by tomorrow?”
“Impossible!”
“Even if you do end up taller than me…” she puffed up her chest proudly.
But she definitely wouldn’t have bigger assets!
The average bust size of a cat girl couldn’t possibly compare to that of a succubus.
Hei Dou glanced at Ning Chu’s prominent chest and turned her head, mumbling, “Having such big ones feels a bit… awkward.”
“……”
You’ll be wishing for them when you grow up!
Ning Chu internally scolded but had no retort for Hei Dou’s comment.
Succubi had all sorts of alluring traits, and that couldn’t be denied…
Returning home felt wonderful, lightening her mood; her brain could completely empty out, no longer burdened by the daily serious philosophical questions—what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Although her mother would scold and tease her, she would do her best to make Ning Chu’s favorite dishes; Hei Dou could be a handful, but she was also a cute and obedient little helper.
However, Ning Chu still preferred living with Wen Yang in their rented apartment.
After all, such warmth could likely only last a week; by next week, her mother would find fault with her in every way, and forget about her favorite food—dinner would probably just be leftovers from lunch.
After eating, Ning Chu stretched and got up, while Hei Dou began tidying up the dishes and the table.
“I’m going to shower first.”
“Okay~”
She hugged her phone and wheeled her suitcase into the guest room, texting Wen Yang, who was chatting with her, “I’m going to shower and sleep, we’ll chat tomorrow.”
“Live shower?”
She froze for a moment, then continued typing with a blank expression, “How creepy?”
“Well, someone’s gotta be weird with you.”
Even if she maintained a serious face, with Wen Yang not present, this kind of play she’d never experienced before still made her face flush. But it also ignited a little of her adventurous side.
Oh, it can be this fun too~
Ning Chu felt a bit nervous as she listened to the sounds coming from the kitchen and the master bedroom, swiftly pulled out her pajamas from her suitcase, and hurriedly carried her phone into the bathroom.
She placed the phone on the bathroom shelf, hesitating for a moment before clicking the video call, watching Wen Yang’s figure appear on the screen.
The moment she saw Wen Yang, her face, already flushed, turned an even deeper shade of rose.
“You really are a creep…” she whispered, “Don’t talk; my mom might hear you.”
Wen Yang nodded eagerly, clearly excited.
Ning Chu tried to act nonchalant as she slowly began to remove her clothes, revealing her fair and delicate skin.
She’d showered with Wen Yang countless times and often fainted from exhaustion only to be carried to the bathroom to be cleaned up.
But to have him watch her shower through a screen for the first time made her feel an intoxicating mix of embarrassment and excitement…
Looks like I’ve truly become a qualified succubus and a heroine of the romance novels!
