Chapter 545. Breaking the Inn
“It’s dawn.”
That cold voice sounded again, but this time it carried a tone of exhaustion.
Hearing Lily’s words, Ning Chu, who hadn’t slept a wink all night, finally lifted her head from that soft, white thigh, glanced at the light seeping through the curtains, and flopped back down weakly. “Mmm…”
Even though Lily’s thigh was soft and tender, feeling it was more comfortable than most pillows, Ning Chu didn’t have the slightest interest in enjoying it right now.
She stared with her slightly reddened eyes, blankly gazing at the morning news playing on the screen, stifling a yawn behind her hand.
“So sleepy… we still have graduation photos to take this afternoon…”
Even without looking in the mirror, she knew that if she were to go out at night now, she would definitely be seen as a beautiful ghost.
She turned her gaze to the other side of the bed where Yan Xinya was sprawled out, this Husky had passed out early after getting drunk last night, taking up most of the bed, her furry tail wrapped around her waist and draped over her belly like a blanket.
“She sleeps so comfortably.”
“Shut up.” Lily tiredly tilted her head back against the wall.
Last night, the three sisters had a barbecue and drank some alcohol. As succubi, Ning Chu and Lily were careful, getting only slightly tipsy before setting down the wine bottles. But Yan Xinya guzzled down the remaining drinks and right then passed out, not waking up until now.
What was infuriating was this gal was even snoring…
Even worse, there were snores coming from all directions! To the left, to the right, upstairs, and downstairs—snores or grinding teeth!
And the most annoying part! Who knew which couple’s room it was, with the bed banging against the wall, the creaking sounds, and a woman’s moans that sounded like crying? It kept the two succubi awake all night.
Just when one couple settled down, another pair picked up right where they left off.
“The soundproofing is terrible.”
Ning Chu sighed resentfully. The partition walls of this inn must’ve been slapped together with wooden boards—there was no soundproofing whatsoever.
If she weren’t worried about Wen Yang not getting enough rest, and if her sense of shame hadn’t held back her impulses, she would have gone to find him as a sleep aid ages ago.
“Now that it’s quiet, let’s catch some sleep; otherwise, we’ll be too tired for the graduation photos.”
She lifted her head from Lily’s thigh, pulled the blanket over herself, and lay flat on the bed.
“Mmm.”
Lily turned off the TV and lay down beside her. Since Yan Xinya had taken up half the bed, they could only lay shoulder to shoulder, barely fitting on the bed.
Ning Chu worried she’d flip over in her sleep and fall to the floor.
Closing her eyes, her already weary mind quickly relaxed completely, and she soon fell into darkness.
“Ning Chu, what does it feel like to like someone?”
Lily turned over, resting her head on her arm, looking at Ning Chu with curious, hopeful eyes.
But Ning Chu was already drowsily asleep, only hearing a vague voice by her ear that didn’t wake her from her dreams.
Her breathing was gentle and steady, her thick eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks, her sleeping face peaceful and serene.
“Ignoring me…” Lily gazed at Ning Chu with envy in her eyes, “How nice it must be~ to have someone you like by your side all the time.”
“Every night being held to sleep, every day being cherished by someone you like…”
She murmured to herself, “When will I ever meet him?”
“If only I had twenty more centimeters~”
A gentle knock sounded on the door, startling Lily, who quickly covered her mouth, glancing uncertainly toward the door.
Ning Chu, just falling asleep, was roused as well, yawning and rubbing her teary eyes, muttering, “Did I just hear some wolfish words in my dream?”
Lily subtly dodged her gaze.
“Are you asleep? Want some breakfast first before going back to sleep?”
Wen Yang’s soft call came from outside the door.
Last night, when she couldn’t sleep, Ning Chu had complained to Wen Yang online about a dozen times, and now he was up, rushing to find her.
“Coming!”
She irritably ruffled her hair into a bird’s nest and turned to peek at Lily’s messy strap dress, pulling the blanket over to cover her springtime glory, making sure Wen Yang wouldn’t see anything inappropriate.
Ning Chu finally slipped on her slippers, went to open the door, and the moment she saw Wen Yang, the irritation from not sleeping all night turned into a pitiful, helpless expression: “Wen Yang~ Xinya snored all night! The soundproofing here is terrible! That woman was so loud! I couldn’t sleep a wink!”
Tears from lack of sleep streamed down her cheeks, making her look even more small, pitiful, and helpless.
Wen Yang looked at her, heart aching, brushing her tousled hair gently and soothingly said, “It’s okay, let’s have something to eat and then you can sleep over at my place.”
“I’m so exhausted!”
“I won’t disturb you; I’ll just crash for a couple of classes at school to pass the time.”
Realizing she’d misunderstood, Ning Chu felt a bit guilty and muttered, “Oh…”
Wen Yang handed her the breakfast he had brought along: “Hey, I specifically went to the cafeteria to get this for you—it’s what you loved to eat back when we were in school.”
“How many did you buy? That’s a lot.”
“Three portions; you keep one, and just take the rest to them. I won’t go in.”
“Such a thoughtful guy? Don’t you want to take a look inside?”
Even without stepping in, Wen Yang could guess the awkward scene inside: “Catch up on sleep quickly; eat and then straight to bed.”
“Alright~” Ning Chu carried the breakfast inside, “Lily, I’ve left your and Xinya’s breakfast on the table; I’m going to sleep next door to avoid Xinya’s snores.”
“Well, keep it down then.”
Lily misunderstood Ning Chu and Wen Yang’s intentions as well.
“I still have some dignity! It’s broad daylight!”
Ning Chu didn’t even dare to climb into Wen Yang’s bed at night; she was even less daring during the day.
Lucky she hadn’t gone last night; otherwise, with the poor soundproofing, anyone in the inn would’ve heard.
After setting down the breakfast, Ning Chu hastily threw on a coat and rushed to the hallway, following Wen Yang into the next room.
She was so sleepy; after eating, she flopped onto the bed, lying in a twisted position, unwilling to move.
“Hey, you didn’t even take off your shoes or coat.”
She lifted her little leg up toward Wen Yang.
With no other choice, Wen Yang helped her take off her shoes and coat, then gently adjusted her to a comfortable sleeping position.
“Why don’t you hold me to sleep?”
Ning Chu turned over, inching half of the bed space away.
“This…”
“Don’t tell me you can’t keep your self-control for this little bit?”
Wen Yang touched his nose; he used to be able to, but now it was hard to say, especially when the little demoness would tease him so openly.
“Hurry up, it’s comfy sleeping in your arms.”
“Alright then.”
He kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. Just as he settled in, Ning Chu had already nestled into his arms, using his arm and shoulder as her pillow, burying her face in the crook of his neck.
Already fatigued and satisfied from the meal, it didn’t take long for Ning Chu to drift into a deep sleep.
Only Wen Yang lay there wide awake, staring at the ceiling, full of energy but not daring to touch the succubus in his arms.
“You really are malicious.”
Just trying to sleep but still wanted to tease him into a frenzy first.
