Chapter 537. The More Tired, The Hungrier
“Not playing games anymore? Weren’t you supposed to win three matches?”
After showering and wearing nothing but boxers, Wen Yang walked out of the bathroom to find Ning Chu sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, typing away on her laptop.
“Forget about it. I was just joking. I haven’t written my novel yet. What if I break my perfect attendance streak?”
Ning Chu replied without looking up, her eyes glued to the screen, fingers flying over the keyboard, occasionally pausing to bite her lip and frown in thought about the plot.
“Alright, I’m a bit tired too,” Wen Yang said as he sat on the edge of the bed, yawning. “Had some drinks, feeling a little sleepy.”
He turned to observe Ning Chu’s serious little face and asked, “How’s the job search going?”
“I’m planning to start with customer service, a way to keep going while I look for a better job. Can’t just sit around without work.”
“Customer service… sounds good, shouldn’t be too tiring?”
“How would I know? The job hunt is exhausting enough.”
Ning Chu sighed heavily, bending over with her arms resting on her thighs, hands propping up her chin as she looked at Wen Yang with sad eyes. “It’s so hot outside, I’m practically peeling from the sun!”
“You don’t need to rush… Didn’t I buy you some sunscreen? I even stuffed an umbrella in your bag.”
“Too lazy to use it.”
She curled a strand of hair with her index finger, her gaze uncontrollably drifting to Wen Yang’s bare body.
That tanned skin was glistening with tiny droplets of water, making his well-defined chest look even more tempting, like one just wanted to take a bite!
Ning Chu’s eyes slid down from his chest to the subtly visible abs, then to those V-shaped lines on his sides, and that trim, strong waist.
Her gaze finally landed on the roomy boxers, where a certain something was barely contained.
She unconsciously swallowed, perhaps due to the fatigue from job searching, her cravings were on the rise, yearning for some excitement to dispel her weariness.
No matter how tiring the day, a good meal would always recharge her for the next day’s job hunt.
But the novel wasn’t finished yet!
Ning Chu tried to focus, but her mind was filled with thoughts of Wen Yang’s muscular body.
Her heart raced, cheeks flushed, mouth dry.
She couldn’t write anymore…
Her eyes darted up, stealing a glance at Wen Yang who was engrossed in his phone, she opened her mouth but the invitation she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
She awkwardly straightened her crossed legs, covering them under the blanket, too shy to look at Wen Yang too much, while her mind filled with inappropriate thoughts.
Why wasn’t Wen Yang being more proactive at a time like this?!
“Ning Chu.”
“Yeah!”
“I’m thinking about picking up some part-time work this weekend to earn a bit more cash.” Wen Yang said without lifting his head, “What do you think about sales? The schedule’s pretty flexible, and if luck’s on my side, I could land a big deal and make good money. Plus, I’m familiar with it.”
Most of the several thousand yuan he saved during college came from his sales jobs.
However, Ning Chu’s expression turned disappointed as she muttered, “Maybe not? Aren’t you tired? Why push yourself?”
“While I’m young and can handle it, I want to earn more to buy a house and start a family.”
“Don’t worry about ending up in the hospital later, spending more on medical bills than you earn.”
“You know my health is great, right? I’m not one to cry and complain.”
Wen Yang teased as he suddenly noticed Ning Chu had unconsciously moved from the head of the bed to the foot, sitting just a short distance from him.
The little demoness’s face was already flushed red, her hands resting on the bed, eyes cast down as she subtly inched closer to him.
“I think it’s really necessary to find a part-time job, you see this…”
He tried to hand his phone over, but her tail stretched out and hooked around his finger.
“What are you doing? Not typing anymore?”
“Um… let’s continue writing later?” Ning Chu’s face was bright red as she fidgeted with her fingers.
This shy demeanor only made Wen Yang want to tease her more, firmly stating, “No way, what if you lose your perfect attendance? I remember you took a day off this month.”
“We still have time, we have time~”
Saying this, her soft body completely pressed against him, her thigh raised, half her bottom now sitting on his lap.
“I’m trying to talk about something important here.” Wen Yang rubbed his nose in resignation.
That’s the problem with little demonesses; when it comes to serious matters, they suddenly get all flirty, even when he had no lewd intentions.
“This is important too~”
Her tail lightly brushed under his chin, the soft, delicate touch made his heart race.
A faint scent wafted into his nostrils, the cool, soft skin pressed against him, along with the inviting curves coming dangerously close, making him feel hot all over.
Even if he had no thoughts earlier, Wen Yang was now feeling rather stirred… he couldn’t help but doubt that even if he got drained later by Ning Chu’s antics, he could still bounce back.
“That’s touching!”
The little demoness, now perched on his lap, shivered.
“Don’t blame me if you lose your perfect attendance.”
“Of course, I’ll blame you!”
Wen Yang suddenly sprang up, causing Ning Chu to tumble onto the bed, her bottom and tail sticking up high. He swatted her bottom playfully, his hand expertly finding the curve, thumb rubbing at the edge.
Ning Chu’s eyes glistened with unshed tears.
“Ding-a-ling-ling~”
“……”
The room fell silent for a moment. Ning Chu, already overwhelmed, pouted and buried her head under the blanket, “Continue!”
Wen Yang glanced at the incoming call notification in frustration, then reluctantly picked up the phone, sitting beside Ning Chu while idly playing with her long tail.
“Mom? Why are you calling at this time?”
“Since when did you start calling me Mom? Where’s Ning Chu? Why isn’t she answering?”
He looked at Ning Chu with a questioning gaze, only to see her blushing as she squirmed on the bed. He silently glanced down at her tail, instinctively letting go.
But the tail returned to curl around his fingers.
“Wen Yang?”
The confusion was apparent in his mother’s voice.
Even with a thick face, Wen Yang felt heat rising to his cheeks. He cleared his throat, “Ning Chu fell asleep. She’s been pretty tired looking for jobs lately.”
“At this hour? Usually, she doesn’t sleep until one or two!” His mother asked, worry evident in her tone, “Has she lost weight? You need to take good care of her, don’t let her suffer outside.”
“She hasn’t lost weight…” Wen Yang glanced at Ning Chu, who was covering her mouth to stifle her sound, “If anything, she looks a bit healthier.”
“She said she’d start off as customer service. Pay might be lower, but it should be easier.”
“Don’t worry, the money will definitely be enough. I’m not complaining about the work, I even want to pick up another part-time job, but Ning Chu won’t let me.”
“Got it, I’ll keep an eye on her health. You should get to bed early too.”
After hanging up the call with his future mother-in-law, Wen Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Since when did you get so bold?”
“What’s wrong with touching a tail!”
The little demoness dashed up to him, shedding her earlier reservedness, looking like she wanted to swallow him whole.
Wen Yang felt the pressure.
Ning Chu was becoming hungrier the more tired she got…
