Chapter 632. A New Life
The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains into the cramped room, accompanied by the crisp sound of an alarm.
Wen Yang woke up immediately, reaching for his phone by the pillow to hurriedly silence the ringing, mindful not to wake the little demoness still asleep.
He turned around gently to glance at Ning Chu, who was sleeping beside him.
Despite a few seconds of alarm, Ning Chu’s slumber was disturbed. Her large, fan-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she let out a soft, cat-like hum as she rolled over, her fair, long legs peeking out from under the covers and clutching the blanket tight.
She was completely nude, her smooth skin exposed to the sunlight, reflecting a gentle golden hue.
The slender beauty unconsciously showcased her figure, with faint bruises on her skin and dried marks on her waist and thighs.
The sight of the alluring demoness made Wen Yang almost unable to look away. Instead, he leaned down and gently kissed Ning Chu’s forehead with fondness.
Last night had really taken its toll…
After a week apart, this little demoness had gone wild, leaving him feeling quite worn out, and he even woke up with a sore back.
After all, he was the male protagonist in Ning Chu’s story—how had he ended up feeling so overwhelmed?
This simply wouldn’t do; he needed to find time to work out after work, or he would get drained completely with no chance of recovery.
The bedsheets were already in disarray, soaked with moisture, and the room was filled with the lingering scent of their wild night.
Wen Yang carefully got out of bed, his legs still a bit wobbly, one hand on the wall for support and the other on his sore lower back.
Just as he was about to stand, he suddenly felt a slender tail wrapped around his calf. The next moment, a cool little hand grabbed his pinky.
He turned around to find Ning Chu looking at him with dazed, innocent eyes, shimmering with moisture, like a pitiful little kitten, gazing up at him.
“Why are you awake? Sleep a little longer.”
“Um…”
Still groggy, Ning Chu’s mind was slow to reboot. The tail remained wrapped around Wen Yang’s leg, instinctively pulling him closer and refusing to let go.
“My body kinda hurts~”
Her voice was slightly hoarse, yet it felt seductively enticing.
“Just rest at home and take it easy,” Wen Yang soothed her gently. “Let go of the tail. I’ll wash up and get us breakfast, and then I have to go to work soon.”
“……”
Ning Chu stared blankly at him, her brain still rebooting from last night. Gradually, her confused eyes began to sparkle with awareness.
Suddenly, she realized she was still naked, her face turning bright red as she quickly yanked the blanket over herself and dove under, leaving just her head poking out.
However, the damp blanket felt a bit chilly, reminding her of the events from the previous night, making her blush even deeper.
“You weren’t shy at all last night,” Wen Yang teased with a smile, observing her response. “You were rolling your eyes and relentlessly pulling at me.”
“No way! I don’t remember that… rolling my eyes? You’re just making stuff up.”
“Just the other day, you sent me your own suggestive pictures.”
“That was a picture I found online.”
“Right, sure. I believe you.”
It’s always like this with the little demoness—when she’s high, she’s the most daring, but in daily life, she’s shy like a pure little girl.
Wen Yang gently patted Ning Chu’s head before heading to the bathroom to wash up.
The housework could wait until the evening since Ning Chu was useless in her current limp state.
“Are you going to take a shower by yourself later?”
While washing up, Wen Yang called out to her outside the bathroom.
He used to help Ning Chu with her showers, but he was too tired this time; after settling her down, he had passed out immediately.
“Okay~”
“What do you want for breakfast? I’ll get it before I head to work.”
“What’s there?”
“So soybean milk, youtiao fried dough sticks, steamed buns, water-fried buns, sticky rice chicken…”
“How about I eat you instead?”
Wen Yang’s words got interrupted, and he twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Although he felt sore and exhausted, as the male protagonist, he clearly hadn’t reached his limit, but was this demoness a bit too energetic? Just a moment ago, she was complaining of pain.
Ning Chu, lying on the bed, stared eagerly at the bathroom but heard no response from Wen Yang, so she bashfully mumbled, “Just kidding, teasing you.”
She buried her face into the pillow in embarrassment.
How did she blurt that out impulsively? And now she got rejected by Wen Yang…
It made her seem so needy!
After a quick shower, Wen Yang stepped out of the bathroom dressed, his hair only half-dried.
He picked up the trash around the house, reminding her, “Make sure to lock the door when I’m not home. I sent you the wifi password. Just go left and walk three hundred meters to the subway; across from the subway is a mall. You can check it out when you have the time…”
“Anyone who asks for money while job hunting is a scam. And those who reach out to you might only be training programs. No rush on job hunting—I’ve saved a bit over the years, enough to support you for half a year. Take your time.”
“I usually get off work at 5:30 and am home by 6. I’ll bring you dinner, and if I have to work late, you can just order takeout…”
Ning Chu still curled up in bed, only poking her head out to watch Wen Yang as he prepared to leave with the trash bag.
In this unfamiliar city, she felt a little overwhelmed.
But she couldn’t bring herself to ask Wen Yang to take a day off to accompany her; she could only watch his back with longing.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Wen Yang suddenly turned back and asked, “Should I take a day off today too? I can accompany you around so you don’t feel uncomfortable.”
She immediately withdrew her pitiful expression and shook her head dismissively, “I’m not a child.”
“Really not?”
“Nope!”
Wen Yang nodded, “Okay, I’ll go get you some food, and be back in ten minutes.”
The door closed behind him, and his footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Ning Chu sighed softly, picked up her phone, and started browsing job positions on the job-seeking platform, muttering, “Said I didn’t need it, and I really don’t…”
“Time to look for a job again~”
She frowned, tousling her messy hair, then turned to lean on the bed, propping her elbows on the bed to avoid being suffocated by her own fullness.
“I’m so pretty now; it should be pretty easy to find a job, right?”
“Will I run into those workplace rules? Better bring some hypnotic spray…”
“If I hypnotize the boss, wouldn’t I get promoted and get a raise in no time?”
Talking to herself, Ning Chu suddenly had a lightbulb moment, but then quickly shook that thought away.
After selecting a favorite position and randomly applying to a few companies, she pushed herself up, leaning weakly against the wall as she walked toward the bathroom.
“I really need to wash up…”
She still felt dirty and sticky, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Standing in the cramped bathroom, she turned on the shower, allowing the water to wash over her body while looking up at the warm orange lights.
“Time to step into society~”
For her, this day had been delayed by three years, yet facing it now still filled her with anxiety and fear.
Fortunately, this time she had Wen Yang by her side, her mother as support, and a clear direction… She was no longer alone.
