262. So You’re a Succubus!
Uh-oh!
The hypnosis spray just fell right into the opened takeout box!
When Ning Chu realized she couldn’t move, she immediately understood the situation. But all she could do was freeze up and wait for something miraculous to happen—spoiler alert: nothing did.
Her mind was a swirl of confusion and panic as she tried to communicate with Nana, who was also sitting on the sofa, with just their eyes.
However, they had only known each other for a few hours and had absolutely no secret code.
They just sat there, staring at each other, both equally clueless.
What the heck is going on…
But Nana was definitely laughing at her!
That amused glint in her eyes was impossible to hide!
Ning Chu shot Nana a resentful glare and had no choice but to bide her time until the hypnosis wore off.
Good thing Wen Yang wasn’t in the rental apartment; who knows what perverted and embarrassing requests he might throw her way.
A couple of minutes passed, and suddenly Nana’s body jolted, and it seemed she realized she could move again.
She touched her cheek and muttered, “So I’m not afraid of men anymore?”
Not hearing a response, she looked up at Ning Chu, who was sitting to the side, cradling a plate of fried noodles.
Though she wanted to laugh, her reserved personality won out, and she kept it together.
“You okay?”
“……”
Her earlier wariness towards Ning Chu had completely vanished. What kind of villain would be silly enough to hypnotize themselves?
Nana cautiously asked, “Want to eat?”
Ning Chu’s hands went stiff, but she started eating her lunch anyway.
Wait! The hypnosis spray is in the fried noodles! Doesn’t that mean my hypnotized state is going to last longer?!
“Wow, this really makes you obedient…”
As Ning Chu ate, anxiety coiled tightly in her chest. If Nana had any funny ideas, she was completely defenseless.
At least the most expensive thing in the apartment was only a little over two thousand for the laptop.
Nana opened her takeout box, eating delicately, but her gaze kept drifting back to Ning Chu.
She hesitated before saying, “I ask, you answer, okay?”
“Why do you want to help me?”
“Because I’m worried you might seduce my boyfriend.”
Ning Chu’s brain subconsciously formulated an answer, but her mouth just blurted it out uncontrollably.
They’ve only known each other for a few hours! Please don’t ask any embarrassing questions!
“I’m not that kind of person,” Nana calmly retorted.
Staring at Ning Chu’s face, her interest piqued after confirming the hypnosis was effective. A hint of mischief stirred within her.
“Why does it feel like you’re under hypnosis for longer than I am?”
Because I’m downing hypnosis spray in my fried noodles!
Ning Chu sighed internally. The longer she stayed unable to move, the more anxious and panicked she became.
Luckily, Nana wasn’t into any dark humor. Though she might have had some thoughts, she didn’t go ahead with any further commands.
A few more minutes passed, and Ning Chu was finally released from her hypnotic state.
She gasped for breath, cold sweat trickling down the back of her neck.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, but it’s a good thing you didn’t do anything to me. You scared me to d*ath.”
Once she got her breathing under control, Ning Chu shot Nana another glare: “Didn’t you notice I was hypnotized after I ate the noodles?”
“You kept letting me eat!”
“Did I?!” Nana blinked in surprise, guilt washing over her as she looked down. “I thought it was because the windows were closed.”
Seeing Nana’s innocent expression made Ning Chu soften. “Never mind, I’m not really mad at you.”
At least she was full.
She stood up, checking the time. “Are you planning to head back to school now, or do you want to hang out for an hour before we go together?”
“Let’s go together.”
“Umm…”
Ning Chu looked down at her stomach, feeling only a slight discomfort from her period, nothing ridiculous.
Is Nana’s plot still not done?
Is the hypnosis spray ineffective?
She turned to Nana and asked, “How about you go downstairs and grab some snacks for me?”
“Uh? Isn’t there plenty on the coffee table?”
“I want you to talk to the convenience store owner and see if your fear of men has gotten any better.”
Nana had a serious case of male phobia. Just being looked at by any man would make her tense up and haul her hood over her head.
And the convenience store owner downstairs was this beefy bald guy who looked like a criminal on the run.
Even she felt shy talking to him; what about Nana?
“I…” Nana hesitated, shrinking back a bit, “I-I can’t.”
“Just give it a try! You’ve already been hypnotized, we need to test the effects.”
Nana thought for a while, then finally stood up. “Okay.”
Once she realized she really wasn’t afraid of men anymore, the whole plot might just break.
Ning Chu was already mentally preparing to dash to the bathroom for a shower afterward.
After all, when she’d been punished before, she could handle it twice, but this time, even once might be too much to bear.
Wen Yang had made her taste the pleasures of being a succubus…
She had to rely on a shower as backup. If only she weren’t on her period, a cold shower would’ve worked even better.
“Grab the keys; I’ll go take a shower.”
After both of them had fallen into a hypnotic state, their trust in each other soared.
Ning Chu confidently handed her keys to Nana.
“Umm…”
Nana hesitated, glancing back multiple times as she left, while Ning Chu tidied up the takeout boxes and tossed them in the trash. She got up and rummaged through the wardrobe for a change of clothes.
With the clothes in hand, she shut the bathroom door and leaned against the sink, waiting for her punishment to drop.
She wasn’t too sure if the hypnosis spray would work; her heart raced with anticipation.
“Logically, it should work…”
“What if it doesn’t?”
No way she could actually let Wen Yang help Nana “recover,” right? Imagine while treating her, they end up just falling in bed together!
She definitely wasn’t into being a cuckold.
Luckily, that familiar, nagging heat began to rise.
It felt like, with every heartbeat, the heat in her lower tummy pulsed, which quickly painted her cheeks a lovely shade of pink.
“Thank goodness it’s working.”
Feeling relieved, Ning Chu quickly stripped off her clothes to shower.
If Nana came back late, she could always do a few things she had in mind while being punished.
The warm water soon washed away her fleeting impulses.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and Nana’s excited voice rang out. “Ning Chu! Ning Chu!”
“I really don’t feel scared anymore!”
She rushed to the bathroom door, knocking loudly to share her good news. “It really worked!”
“Just don’t cling to Wen Yang anymore, okay?”
“Why does your voice sound a bit weird?” Nana rushed back, slightly out of breath, leaning against the wall. “I… I’m a little dizzy from being so happy…”
“Ah?”
“Thud!”
Hearing a heavy thud from outside, Ning Chu quickly turned off the water, grabbed a towel from the rack, and wrapped it around herself before rushing to the door.
Please don’t d*e in my rental apartment!
Nana, besides being a quivering mess with her fear of men, was also a bit of a sickly girl. She’d had a weak constitution since childhood.
In the story, she often fainted from just being teased by the male protagonist…
“What’s wrong with you?!” Ning Chu saw Nana sitting on the floor, feeling a wave of relief. “I thought you fainted again.”
Sitting on the floor, Nana’s face was pale as she gazed at Ning Chu, who was tightly wrapped in a towel. Her eyes quickly fell on that iconic heart-shaped tail.
“So you’re a succubus… I totally didn’t see that coming.”
“……”
