Chapter 249: Hourly Room
“Mom! Just these two days! You have to pick her up!”
“You know what my situation is! If I go in front of her… I’d just spoil her!”
“Please~”
After class at noon, Ning Chu was hiding in the small park near the teaching building, pacing back and forth on the cobbled path, begging her mother relentlessly.
“Mom~ just come for a trip~ It’ll only take half a day to drive here and back!”
“Or I’ll just take a classmate’s car to send her home!”
She was practically begging her mother, and it was getting unbearable.
If it was just taking care of the little cat girl, she could muster the courage and do her best. But now, it was possible for her to lose control at any moment, likely under Hei Dou’s watchful eyes.
Her embarrassment was about to overflow!
She glanced over at the little cat girl, running around in the garden nearby, and bit her lip, taking a deep breath: “Mom! It’s a done deal, okay?”
“Uh…”
Her mother hesitated on the phone, making her even more anxious.
“Mom~”
“You’d better act a bit cute.”
Her mother chuckled, her tone teasing: “You’ve hardly ever acted cute with me since you were little~”
“……”
Ning Chu’s face flushed a bit as she realized her previous conversation with her mother sounded like a spoiled girl acting cute.
She adjusted her mindset, pondering how to act cute to satisfy her mother.
This was something she’d never figured out before! And nobody had ever acted cute towards her, making it overly complicated.
“Mom……” Ning Chu stammered, “I, I……”
Her mother laughed: “Alright, alright, I’ll find time to rent a car and pick her up in the next couple of days, okay?”
“Mmhm! You’re the best, Mom!”
Ning Chu finally sighed in relief. She put down her phone and looked up, only to find Hei Dou looking at her pitifully, her expression lost and wronged, just like a kitten about to be abandoned.
A wave of guilt washed over her.
She squatted down, reached out to rub Hei Dou’s head, and gently comforted her: “It’s okay, we’re just going to your sister’s house. There, you’ll have meat to eat, and sometimes even fish and shrimp~”
Upon hearing about food, Hei Dou’s eyes brightened: “Good!”
“……”
Ning Chu shot a glance at Hei Dou, surprised she just felt guilty a moment ago.
The time for taking care of Hei Dou was reduced from a month to two days, but she still couldn’t be at ease.
Having experienced the benefits of the succubus’s body, her tolerance for losing control had significantly decreased. Just earlier in class, she almost lost her sanity and had to ask Wen Yang to help with her… needs.
Ning Chu held Hei Dou’s hand, aimlessly wandering around the small garden, with Wen Yang closely following, enjoying the peacefulness of the afternoon.
However, Ning Chu’s gaze drifted towards Wen Yang from time to time.
If one punishment was unbearable, she shuddered to think what might happen if she held back until the next time.
Two days was too uncertain; she couldn’t guarantee Wen Yang wouldn’t disrupt some plot by turning down a certain girl.
She had to think of a plan…
Hesitating, she asked Wen Yang: “Um… could you keep an eye on Hei Dou while I go find Xinya in the girls’ dorm?”
Yan Xinya and Lily knew her well, and the girls’ dorm was quite safe.
Wen Yang looked down at her flushed face: “How about we go outside and rent an hourly room instead?”
“……”
Caught red-handed in her thoughts, Ning Chu felt even more awkward. She lowered her head, mumbling, “But then there won’t be anyone to watch Hei Dou.”
Hei Dou looked up, glancing from Ning Chu to Wen Yang.
She tugged at Ning Chu’s clothes, mumbling: “Mom! I want to go home and sleep.”
“Ah? Didn’t you sleep during class?”
“There were too many people, I couldn’t sleep well.”
Ning Chu looked down at Hei Dou, who seemed a bit socially anxious. While sleeping in class, she often woke up and now she appeared tense and alert, glancing around.
That little hand tightly clinging to hers, as if afraid of being left behind.
Seeing that Hei Dou wasn’t suited for the outside environment, Ning Chu sighed and nodded: “Alright, then I’ll take you home.”
Once a straying cat, now turned into a shut-in after being raised at home.
Must be that Wang Jie spoiled her!
“When we get home, you sleep quietly, don’t mess with the house. If you need anything, just message me on the computer; you remember how I taught you this weekend.”
“Mmhm!”
With only two hours for lunch, and a round trip on the bus taking an hour, Ning Chu turned to Wen Yang: “Are you going back too, or heading to the library to read?”
“I’m fine with either.”
Ning Chu nodded thoughtfully.
Wen Yang’s suggestion didn’t sound too bad after all.
About half an hour later, the three of them returned to the rental apartment.
Along the way, Ning Chu seemed like a worried mother, non-stop instructing Hei Dou, afraid the little cat girl would cause trouble at home.
“I’ve left water on the table; snacks and jerky are under the coffee table, eat them if you’re hungry.”
“I’ve opened a game on the computer for you. When you’re bored, just click here…”
She locked the windows, afraid the cat might jump out, and after ensuring everything was alright, she saw Hei Dou quickly climbing onto the bed to sleep, finally letting out a breath of relief.
Who knew how much of it she actually understood…
At least she was behaving well; unlike a rebellious child, she didn’t get impatient even after a few extra nagging.
Ning Chu covered Hei Dou with a blanket and walked towards the door: “Wen Yang, let’s go.”
Wen Yang, still seated on the sofa, was confused: “Huh? We’re going now? There’s still almost an hour until class?”
“Let’s go!”
Ning Chu emphasized again, and only then did Wen Yang cluelessly follow her out of the rental apartment.
After locking the door behind them, she grabbed Wen Yang’s arm and rushed downstairs.
“Where are we going?”
Wen Yang stumbled a bit, unsure why Ning Chu was in such a hurry.
“We’ll catch a taxi to class.”
He replied uncertainly, and then noticed Ning Chu suddenly stop in her tracks, looking up at a sign for a hotel.
He finally understood.
It was the first time he’d seen Ning Chu so proactive!
The little succubus was completely blushing, eagerly approaching the front desk, eyeing the young lady behind the counter for a few seconds before finally saying, “I’d like to rent an hourly room…”
Finally free from Hei Dou, she needed to resolve this situation quickly!
Although she felt a bit shy now, if she ended up losing control directly in class next time, it wouldn’t just be a matter of shyness!
As she swiped the room card and opened the hotel room door, Ning Chu stepped inside but then slowly froze.
Her face filled with embarrassment, she turned back to see Wen Yang casually close the door.
Looking into those affectionate eyes, Wen Yang remained unfazed, stretching his arms: “Why suddenly want to rent an hourly room? Isn’t it the same to rest at home?”
This guy was doing it on purpose!
Ning Chu lowered her head, her ears bright red.
“Well…”
Though she wanted to tell Wen Yang to scram so she could handle things herself, having him around was clearly better than doing it alone.
I’m a succubus, after all!
Unable to utter the shameful words, she directly stepped forward, tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Wen Yang’s neck, leaned in, and pressed her soft lips against his.
In an instant, Wen Yang was ignited.
