499. Why Can Adults Talk While Eating?
“Rise and shine, my little lazy cat!”
“Still not awake in the morning, and you don’t even think to sleep early at night!”
Early in the morning, Mom had already prepared breakfast. She returned to the bedroom and glanced around, only to find Black Bean still snoozing away, snoring like a little pig.
She smacked Black Bean’s backside and gave a gentle tug on her cat tail, shaking it: “Hurry up, it’s already eight! You’ll be late for the nine o’clock tutoring class!”
“Ugh~” Black Bean rubbed her sleepy eyes and groggily acknowledged her.
Seeing her react, Mom headed to the second bedroom.
Today, she had to take Ning Chu to visit her grandfather. It wasn’t the New Year, so there wouldn’t be a horde of chaotic relatives hanging around.
At the door of the second bedroom, Mom instinctively twisted the doorknob, only to discover that the door wasn’t locked.
She paused for a moment, retracting the foot that had already stepped inside. A quick glance at the bed revealed the quilt neatly tucked in, and the two figures lying on the bed were fully dressed, showing no signs of a post-battle scene.
Could Wen Yang have an issue with his body?
Sleeping in the same bed as a succubus and not doing anything at all?
Did her daughter have zero allure?
Thoughts racing in her mind, Mom quickly snapped back to reality and strode right into the room. After all, there’s nothing scandalous to hide: “Get up! You sleep this late at school too?”
Ning Chu, a light sleeper, had already awakened when the door opened. A shout from her mom made her reluctantly open her eyes, her voice a bit raspy: “Mom~ I haven’t been sleeping well these past few days…”
She stretched her limbs and back like a lazy cat, but suddenly her eyes widened, and she shot up from the bed: “Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!”
“Watch your language.”
She hugged her calves, feeling a sharp cramp that rendered her speechless, letting out only a “hiss” as she shook with pain, burying her head in her legs.
Mom rushed over to check on her, relieved: “Oh, it’s just a cramp? I told you to exercise more, and now you know it hurts, huh?”
“It hurts so much!”
Ning Chu looked up with teary eyes.
“Don’t keep your feet up, step on the bed, push through it.”
“I can’t, it hurts…”
A succubus’s body is typically more sensitive and fragile than an ordinary person’s, which means while Ning Chu could feel more intense pleasure, the pain was also more intense.
This cramp might just be the most excruciating pain she’d ever felt—worse than when Aunt Flo visited.
After all, she’s afraid of pain; she usually watches her diet and temperature during her Aunt Flo visits, so she’s not one to suffer from cramps.
Wen Yang, startled by Ning Chu’s noises, woke up: “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“It’s nothing, just a cramp. It’ll be fine.”
He wanted to help her with her sore calves, but she pushed him away, leaving him helplessly watching her cry while his future mother-in-law shot him a strangely suspicious glance.
He looked up only to find the future mother-in-law subtly turning her gaze away.
“??? ”
After a few minutes, the cramp in her calves eased, and Ning Chu collapsed on the bed, completely drained of energy.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and her lips parted as she gasped for air, her little chest rising and falling dramatically as she stared blankly at the ceiling. This expression was oddly familiar to Wen Yang.
Only, normally, it looked a bit more sultry.
“All good now?”
“Still hurts…” Ning Chu wiped away the tears spilling from the pain and glanced at her mom standing by the bed. “Mom… if I can’t handle a cramp, how did you give birth to me and my brother?”
Let’s face it—giving birth is said to be the most painful thing in the world.
And succubi are even more sensitive! She might have fainted from the pain! No wonder there are so few of them…
“Now that technology is so advanced, you can have painless deliveries.” Mom crossed her arms and smiled at her, “What’s up? Planning to not have kids in the future?”
Ning Chu nodded rapidly: “No way!”
“Wen Yang doesn’t mind?”
“Of course he doesn’t mind! Mom, if you want grandkids, you should talk to my brother; I’m not having any!”
Mom looked somewhat displeased but only furrowed her brow: “Breakfast is getting cold, go wash up and eat. We need to visit your grandfather later.”
“Okay~”
Ning Chu had only been a daughter for less than a year. If it weren’t for her special succubus condition, she probably wouldn’t even be ready to date men yet; not that she would ever even consider giving birth.
After all, she just started college; who knows what thoughts she’ll have in two years? She might accidentally get pregnant one day.
The real question is, can Wen Yang really do the job?
Once Ning Chu limped out of the second bedroom with Wen Yang’s help, Mom bent down to remove the trash bag from the bin, casually glancing inside, a smirk creeping onto her lips.
As expected, no man can resist a succubus’s allure…
So bashful~ She even tidied up the bed nicely; who knows if the battlefield was even on the bed!
While brushing her teeth, Ning Chu heard her mother’s footsteps and turned around, only to see her mom holding a trash bag with that cheerful expression.
Her heart raced, and she quickly looked away, pretending to continue brushing her teeth, but her face was already burning red as she gave Wen Yang a vicious little kick.
Barefoot, the kick wasn’t strong, just enough to make Wen Yang look at her in surprise.
“It’s all your fault! You dare pull stunts at home!”
Ning Chu whispered reproachfully.
“I thought you were into it…”
“I wasn’t! I thought you wouldn’t dare!”
Wen Yang rubbed his nose, feigning innocence: “I thought you wanted it… and I wouldn’t be able to refuse, right?”
“Still defending yourself!”
Although many couples live with their parents and double-date at home is no big deal, this was Ning Chu’s first time doing something like this, and now that they’ve been caught, she couldn’t hold her head up in shame. After washing up, she sat at the dining table, awkwardly digging into her food without daring to glance at her mom.
“Hey, sis~ Why’s your face so red?” Black Bean, sitting across, peeling an egg, asked curiously, “Are you sick? Is it your leg again?”
“I had a cramp when I got up.”
“I knew it! I heard you scream earlier~”
“Quit chatting so much! Talk less while eating!”
Mom lightly tapped Black Bean’s head and casually picked up some meat for Wen Yang, making him look pleasantly surprised: “Auntie, that’s not necessary, I’m good.”
Good enough?
She glanced at his rosy complexion and kept serving food: “You’re this tall, you need to eat more!”
So he won’t be able to handle her daughter a few years down the line…
Mom then turned to Ning Chu and asked, “What about lunch at your grandfather’s?”
“Sounds good, I guess?”
“Your grandfather has plenty of good stuff; make sure to bring some home so you don’t have to buy any!”
Ning Chu looked up in confusion: “Good stuff?”
“Things like goji berries, I remember he even made wine.”
“……”
Black Bean obediently ate her meal, but her big eyes were darting back and forth, taking in all the confusion.
Why can adults talk while eating, huh?
