Chapter 544. Daily Life
After taking turns to shower and resting for a moment in the hotel, Yan Xinya was excitedly yelling about wanting to eat grilled skewers and drink beer again.
“We finally get to meet! We must drink a little!”
“I don’t like drinking…”
Ning Chu had already changed into conservative pajamas, sitting at the head of the bed with a blanket over her legs, saying, “Besides, I’ve already changed into my pajamas. I don’t want to go out.”
“It’s not hard to change into a different outfit.” Yan Xinya turned to Lily, “What do you think?”
Even though Lily looked like a silent ice goddess, she was also keen on drinking, her eyes shining with excitement as she nodded several times.
“Two to one! Passed! Quick, quick, quick! Change clothes and let’s go downstairs for grilled skewers!”
Yan Xinya dashed over and grabbed Ning Chu’s wrist, dragging her off the bed. “Let’s go~”
“I don’t want to drink… What’s so great about alcohol? You can easily get into trouble when you’re drunk…”
“I’m here! Plus, Wen Yang is protecting you, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Ning Chu sighed in distress, “Then you go next door and call Wen Yang…”
“Okay!”
Watching the wolf girl rush out the door in a flurry, she couldn’t help but complain, “This girl is about to graduate and still can’t be serious.”
But Lily had a different opinion: “Xinya is very reliable.”
“Maybe?”
Just after a few exchanges, Yan Xinya burst back into the room like the wind, peeking her head in to shout at Ning Chu, “Wen Yang is asleep!”
“Ah?”
“I just got to the hallway and heard his snoring; I knocked on the door but he didn’t wake up. Should I keep calling him?”
“Don’t disturb his sleep.”
“What time is it? It’s still so early~”
Ning Chu curled up on the bed, hugging her knees and mumbling, “He usually works too hard, right?”
The wolf girl tilted her head slightly, shaking her tail as she looked at her, “The pace of life in big cities is too fast; I definitely can’t handle it.”
“What does Wen Yang do?” Lily interjected.
“I’m not quite sure; it’s an internet company. When he’s not busy, he gets home by six, but when things get hectic, we only see each other at night.” Ning Chu complained, “He doesn’t know how to relax; whenever he has free time, he goes out to do extra work, leaving no time to spend with me.”
“Are you worried he’ll wear himself out?”
Being friends for several years, Yan Xinya could easily see through Ning Chu’s thoughts.
Lily nodded in agreement, “Stubborn.”
“Why not go downstairs to pack some grilled skewers and beer to eat in the hotel?” Ning Chu stiffly changed the subject, “If you get drunk, you can just sleep it off; it won’t matter.”
“Sure!”
Yan Xinya was immediately sidetracked and cheerfully dashed out the door again.
Without the lively presence of the Husky, the room became much quieter, allowing Ning Chu to faintly hear the snoring from next door.
He really must be tired; Wen Yang usually never snores.
He rarely shows signs of fatigue, bursting with energy as if he has an endless supply, making it hard for Ning Chu to keep up with him even after long hours of work.
“I’ll go check next door.”
Ning Chu reluctantly got off the bed, grabbing the jacket on the nightstand and putting it on.
“Why are you going to check while he’s sleeping?”
“Just to feel more at ease?”
Lily lifted her gaze from her phone screen, looking at the departing Ning Chu and murmured, “Once you go, you won’t come back.”
“Why do you make it sound like I’m going into a tiger’s den?”
“Don’t be too noisy.”
Ning Chu turned back, annoyed, and glared at her, “I’ll be right back! We still have grilled skewers to eat!”
“Oh~”
Lily’s eyes displayed disbelief, likely already thinking mischievously, as she pulled out her wireless headphones and put them on to listen to music.
“Too lazy to explain; that’s dirty.”
“I’m a Succubus.”
Lily said flatly, quite justified.
After putting on her jacket and tucking her pajama pants back in, Ning Chu finally left the room, using another room card to open the door to the next room.
Inside was pitch black, only the sound of Wen Yang’s snoring echoed.
She tiptoed, gently closing the door, carefully making her way in the dark to the bedside.
As her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, she could faintly see Wen Yang’s outline on the bed.
Looks like he’s really sound asleep~
Ning Chu crouched by the bed, resting her chin on the mattress, gazing intently at Wen Yang’s sleeping face.
She rarely scrutinized his sleeping features so seriously.
After all, most of the time, she would be too tired to stay awake and would fall asleep first, and in the morning they would wake up one after the other, rushing off to work without this kind of leisure.
Wen Yang looked peaceful while sleeping, his eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to carry a slight smile; his snoring wasn’t too loud, though the soundproofing of this hotel was truly terrible, otherwise, it wouldn’t be audible next door.
For some reason, just watching Wen Yang sleep filled Ning Chu with peace and satisfaction, causing her lips to involuntarily curl upward, her eyes softening as if about to overflow.
During these days of resting, she wouldn’t bother Wen Yang.
Normally, Wen Yang was always focused on making money, living in the fast-paced metropolis. Now, it was hard-earned rest time for him.
Ning Chu stood up, tugging at the blanket that only covered Wen Yang’s belly, but just slightly moving caused the snoring to immediately stop, leaving her hand frozen in mid-air, afraid to disturb him.
However, Wen Yang raised his arm, pulling her waist close.
“Awake?”
“Mm.”
“I should have known better than to come in; I thought you were sleeping really deeply.”
“Not really; I woke up from my own snoring…”
Wen Yang yawned, hugging Ning Chu tightly and drawing her into his embrace.
With his strong arms wrapped around her, she melted right into Wen Yang’s chest.
“Never heard of someone waking up from their own snoring.”
Rarely, Wen Yang’s hands stayed still, simply holding Ning Chu in his arms, resting her against his chest.
She could hear his steady, calm breaths and smell an indescribable scent emanating from him. The beating of his heart could even be felt within Ning Chu as they touched.
Ning Chu adjusted her position, cradling Wen Yang’s head against her shoulder.
“Are you really tired? I’ve never heard you snore before.”
“A few days ago, I saw a news story about someone dying from overworking; probably wouldn’t even get compensated much.”
“Why don’t you change jobs? If you could get into a foreign company, that would be great; I heard they work less overtime and have great benefits~”
“I’m trying to be serious here! Can you stop touching my tail!”
Wen Yang awkwardly released her: “I’m fine; I didn’t feel tired, just didn’t sleep well last night and had to get up too early today to catch the train.”
“What do you mean you didn’t sleep well?”
“A few days from now, I have to go back to see Mom…” His tone was a bit cowardly, “Every time I see her, I feel a lot of pressure.”
“What are you afraid of? You… could you maybe stop moving around so much?”
Ning Chu angrily swatted his hand away from her chest.
So! Wen Yang being so exhausted really wasn’t her fault! This guy’s desires were way stronger than a Succubus’s, okay?! His energy was off the charts; it’s not like he could repel so many vixens in novels otherwise!
Did she seriously feel a bit guilty toward Wen Yang earlier?!
“Why can’t my wife touch me?”
“Can’t we just have a proper conversation? And when did I become your wife?”
“Sooner or later.”
“The soundproofing is terrible…”
Lily could probably hear their conversation right now!
Ning Chu struggled to resist Wen Yang’s affections, and as her eyes started to well up, her resistance grew weaker, and then there was a knock on the door from Yan Xinya.
“Time for grilled skewers~”
She jolted awake, her soft body gaining strength as she suddenly sprang from the bed, rushing to escape: “Coming!”
Upon opening the door, Yan Xinya stood outside with grilled skewers and beer, grinning playfully as she leaned toward Ning Chu, sniffing the air.
“Go go go! Move aside!”
“Were you two doing something naughty? Did I interrupt you?”
“Not at all!”
