558. Morning
Even though she fell asleep quickly after drinking, the sleep wasn’t very sound.
Ning Chu groggily woke up due to the desperate pressure on her bladder. She shook her throbbing head and carefully sat up.
Black Bean and Lily lay on either side of her, completely occupying the bed, making her afraid to get up lest she accidentally step on someone, and even more worried about waking them up.
Crawling slowly from the head of the bed to the foot, she finally got out and, disregarding her slippers, rushed towards the bathroom.
It was really inconvenient not to have a bathroom adjacent to the bedroom… When she buys a house in the future, the master bedroom absolutely must have an en-suite bathroom!
In her haste, she flung the door open without thoroughly checking and collided headfirst with a shadow inside.
“Ow~”
The horns on her head made Wen Yang grunt in pain.
“Wen Yang? Why didn’t you turn on the light?”
“In a hurry to use the bathroom,” Wen Yang grimaced, “Why are you up so early?”
“I’m also in a hurry to use the bathroom!”
Ning Chu anxiously paced in place, peering forward, muttering, “Hurry up, hurry up…”
“Can you not split your pants?! Don’t forget to wipe! How many times have I told you, can’t you just sit down to pee?”
Wen Yang explained with a grimace, “I can’t push it down when sitting.”
“Oh please, you’re just lazy.”
Didn’t I manage before? Sitting down was never an issue!
Ning Chu grumbled in her mind, although she knew she couldn’t compare to Wen Yang back in the day.
After a wait, Wen Yang finished up and cleaned himself, and she quickly shoved him out of the bathroom, finally relieved to sit down.
“From now on you can’t drink so much!” she warned sternly from behind the door, fully aware that Wen Yang hadn’t gone anywhere, “Next time, I might just ditch you on the street.”
“Which beauty will pick me up then?”
“You…”
Upon hearing his elevated voice, Wen Yang quickly swallowed his joke and said seriously, “I won’t drink too much again, I promise.”
“What time is it now?”
He glanced at the time. “It’s five in the morning. Want to catch a few more z’s?”
“Let’s go out later to take a stroll and grab some breakfast?” Ning Chu complained, “My head hurts from drinking too much, and I still feel dizzy.”
“I also have a headache. It feels like I didn’t drink much, but before I knew it, I was drunk.” He leaned against the door, pausing for a moment, “Honey, thanks for taking care of me last night. You drank quite a bit too.”
“Hey, why’re you bringing that up?”
Not long after, Ning Chu pushed the door open and walked to the washbasin to brush her teeth.
Splashing cool water on her face, her somewhat lethargic spirit was revitalized. She dried her face and murmured to Wen Yang behind her, “In the future, we need to buy a house with an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom; it’s so inconvenient to go to the bathroom at night.”
“How many rooms do you want?”
She envisioned future home scenarios: “Two bedrooms and a living room should be fine? Smaller is easier to clean and cheaper.”
“With extra soundproofing foam in the spare room and putting in a 3D surround sound system for a gaming room, even if we argue, you can still sleep there.”
“It’d be best if the bathroom has a big bathtub! So cozy to take a bath in the winter~”
“Honey, I want to adopt a cat, is that okay?”
At this, she looked up and, while dabbing moisturizer on her face, glanced at Wen Yang in the mirror.
“I’m not a big fan of cats.” Wen Yang had said something similar when they rescued Black Bean, “But if you like it, just get one.”
“If you don’t like it, fine… Hey, look at that pimple on my face, it’s gone!”
Maybe it was from these several days of nourishing, her skin had regained its glow; even the dull spots had disappeared without a trace.
Turns out, for a succubus, the best skincare product is a man, huh?
Look at Lily’s cabinet filled with expensive skincare products; she takes care of her skin every day, maintains a regular lifestyle with no bad habits, and yet her skin isn’t as good as Ning Chu’s!
And to think Ning Chu practically pulls all-nighters almost every night.
“Are we going to take wedding photos today?”
“This…”
“If you wait until the wedding, you might find it bothersome later,” Wen Yang advised, “Taking some pictures now won’t take long, and it’ll save you from regretting it later.”
Ning Chu hesitated, claiming that studios charge a ridiculous amount for wedding photos. Just taking pictures shouldn’t cost thousands!
And they were about to plan moving to a new place right after returning, rental deposits and moving costs together will add up to at least twenty thousand. She’d never spent that much money at once in her life!
As she pondered Wen Yang’s suggestion, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her tailbone, making her back go weak and causing her to lean over the wash basin.
Wen Yang!
Are we really doing this at home?!
Ning Chu looked back, feeling a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, seeing him leisurely stroking her tail from the base to the heart-shaped tip, as if casually fiddling with a pet’s tail.
But all she felt was a wave of shivers, her legs getting so weak that they nearly buckled, leaving a dark stain on her cotton shorts.
“Let go…”
She lowered her voice, worried her still-sleeping family would hear.
“Just a bit more?”
“You scoundrel! Always bullying me! I’ll tell Mom!”
Just one day into their marriage, and he’s already starting! What will happen next?!
“Want to shower together before heading to take pictures?”
Wen Yang watched as little Ning Chu unconsciously raised her tail, slightly wiggling her bottom, her shameful expression gradually turning dreamy, flushed with pink, and her eyes glimmering with tears.
“Shower together?”
Ning Chu was clearly overwhelmed and didn’t care about her sleeping family anymore.
But Wen Yang rationally released her tail: “So is that a yes? I’ll find a highly-rated studio online; don’t worry about the price.”
“…”
Ning Chu’s eyes welled up as she looked at Wen Yang, gulping, her tail lifted high, swaying her little bottom.
“Quick, go wash up or Black Bean will smell you.”
Finally realizing, she straightened up, hurriedly rushing into the room to grab some fresh clothes.
She’s being totally toyed with! Next time, she can’t let this trick work again!
Otherwise, will she have to listen to everything Wen Yang says?
Opening the wardrobe, Ning Chu sighed helplessly, grabbing a dress and some underwear. Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of a shadow on the bed rolling over.
Her body froze in a guilty panic.
“Shower together?” Lily whispered with excitement, “What a fun game~”
Ning Chu covered her reddening face; even in the dark, Lily couldn’t see her expression.
Honestly! It’s perfectly normal for a married couple to shower together, right?!
“Just don’t wake Black Bean up…”
Luckily, this cat typically slept like a rock, with earplugs in its sensitive ears to avoid any disturbances in its sleep.
“I also want to come with you to take wedding photos?”
“What for? To be a third wheel?”
“I just know you two…”
Even though she seemed chatty and bold in front of Ning Chu, Lily was essentially still a bit socially anxious; last night’s drinks didn’t bring her much closer to Ning Chu’s family.
“Well, okay. You seemed to chat really happily with my mom yesterday~”
