355. Serve Yourself on the Table
10/20
According to the original plan, Ning Tian was supposed to stay at Lily’s place for two or three days and leave the day after tomorrow.
But of course, something unexpected happened…
On one hand, Lily’s family was back, and she really wasn’t good at dealing with elders; anything she left behind would only make her feel awkward.
On the other hand, Lily wouldn’t get into trouble, just a bit of shame for facing her parents again~
Social d*ath? She’s a pro at that! It was only her family finding out about her toys, nothing compared to when her mother figured out she spent the night fooling around with a guy.
Let Lily experience the shame too! That girl had done her plenty of dirty by teasing her!
By the time Ning Chu got home, it was already night.
“Home so early?”
As soon as she entered, her mother asked, and looking up, Ning Chu saw her mother sitting at the dining table, eating leftovers while watching a drama.
“Just a little mishap.”
Ning Chu smiled wryly as she placed her luggage aside.
“I bet you rushed back to see Wen Yang, huh?”
“How could that be!”
Although she did feel a bit pent up last night, she had taken care of it herself this morning! What did she need Wen Yang for?
Her mouth said one thing, but her face betrayed her, turning slightly pink from being teased. She glanced around the living room and asked, “Where’s Black Bean?”
Usually, the moment she got home, Black Bean would be the first to run over to greet her.
“He’s in the bedroom, not sure what he’s doing. Probably sleeping.”
“Oh~”
That cat could fall asleep anytime, anywhere.
Ning Chu plopped herself down on the sofa, casually grabbed Black Bean’s beef jerky from under the coffee table, and popped a piece into her mouth.
She hadn’t had dinner yet, and with the jerky in her mouth, her belly only seemed to rumble louder.
“Mom, is there food left? I’m hungry.”
“You missed dinner time ages ago.” Her mother shot her an exasperated look, “Did you not eat anything out before coming home? Must I bother cooking for you?”
“Mom~”
Her whiny tone immediately softened her mother’s stance. Although her mom mumbled some complaints, she stood up with a smile and headed to the kitchen, “How about I make you a bowl of noodles?”
“Yes!”
Ning Chu laid back on the sofa, curled her legs, chewed on the jerky, and leisurely read her novel.
Ah, being home was still the best~
Especially when Black Bean wasn’t causing any trouble; it felt quiet and cozy…
Too bad Wen Yang was now stuck on the night shift; from now on, all she could do was come home for lunch.
She glanced at her messaging app; the message she sent to Wen Yang an hour ago still hadn’t been replied to.
It was said that Wen Yang couldn’t bring his phone to work…
“Noodles are ready!”
“I’m coming!”
When Ning Chu stood up and walked to the dining table, her mother had already set the freshly cooked noodles down.
The noodles were in a rib soup broth, with a few pieces of stewed ribs and some bok choy thrown in. Although prepared in a hurry, the taste was still pretty decent.
Her mother put down her phone, propped her chin up, and, with a smile, teased, “So, are you going out tonight?”
Ning Chu’s expression froze as she sulked, “Definitely not going out.”
Even though she had just gotten home, the urge to gobble up Wen Yang was already creeping back…
What she took care of in the morning wasn’t quite enough; that toy she used just didn’t cut it compared to Wen Yang!
“Really?”
“Really! Wen Yang doesn’t get off work until eleven! By then, I’ll be fast asleep.”
Her mother shot her a skeptical glance. “Then I guess I can go out to play mahjong tonight. Don’t be surprised if I come back tomorrow morning and find Ning Xin hasn’t slept again.”
“Isn’t she already asleep?”
Hearing this news, Ning Chu felt a thrill of joy but pretended to complain, “Mom, can you stop staying up all night playing mahjong? At your age, how can you still pull all-nighters?”
“And you’re lecturing me now?” Her mother lightly tapped Ning Chu on the head.
She stood up and walked to the door of the spare bedroom, peeking in to confirm Black Bean was indeed sleeping before cheerfully heading to the front door, grabbing her bag to head out.
“I’m off! Take good care of Ning Xin.”
“Got it~”
“Don’t forget to wash the dishes.”
“Okay.”
Ning Chu slurped up her noodles, her head still down but as soon as she heard the door shut, she jumped up from her chair.
Quickly finishing her remaining noodles and halfheartedly washing the dishes, she hurried after her mother’s footsteps to leave.
Wait, what if Black Bean woke up and couldn’t find anyone?
She paused, turned around, and headed back to the bedroom.
Pushing the door open, she approached the bed and found Black Bean curled up, resting on a pillow. Leaning down, she gently shook his shoulder.
“Meow?”
“Mom’s gone out to play mahjong, I need to step out too.”
“Sister? When did you come back?!” The moment Black Bean saw Ning Chu, his cat ears perked straight up, instantly shaking off all his sleepiness.
“Don’t be so alert, go back to sleep…”
Black Bean sat up like a little adult warning, “Sis! Are you going to find Brother-in-law again? Mom says you’re never home at night! Pulling your elbows outwards!”
“……”
“How about you get me a late-night snack, and I won’t tell Mom~”
As expected.
Ning Chu had already guessed what this little greedy cat would say. Rolling her eyes, she passed her phone over, “Order something yourself.”
“Yay!”
“But you can’t cause a ruckus tonight; you have to behave and sleep.”
“I know! I’m super obedient!” Black Bean nodded enthusiastically.
Though still a bit worried, after ordering takeout, Ning Chu eagerly left home, taking a taxi directly to Wen Yang’s rental apartment.
Once inside, she glanced at the time and realized Wen Yang had over two hours left before getting off work.
Uh…
Not finding the person she wanted to see immediately, her impulsive brain slowly started to clear up.
She awkwardly sat on the bed, sighing, “I’m getting more and more impatient…”
Not fully satisfied at Lily’s place now made her feel like a starved housewife!
So perverted!
“Maybe it’s not too late to go back home…”
“First, I should take a shower to cool off.”
Ning Chu murmured as she opened the bedside drawer, intending to grab a clean sleep outfit, only to suddenly spot a prosthetic tail hidden inside.
What’s this? Did Wen Yang sneak this in too?
The fox tail was something she had bought out of curiosity when purchasing some risqué lingerie before; however, she already had a tail, so this thing was useless for her.
Her eyes gleamed as she picked up the tail and walked to the bathroom.
Who said a succubus could only have one tail?
……
At eleven-thirty that night, Wen Yang arrived at the doorstep of the rental apartment.
He had replied to Ning Chu’s messages but figured she was likely asleep since she hadn’t responded.
Head down, fiddling with his phone, he carefully opened the door.
The room was pitch dark, but he caught a whiff of a familiar girl’s fragrance mixed with a hint of milky scent.
Wen Yang halted for a moment, instinctively closing the door and looking towards the bed, only to see a little succubus sporting a fox tail lying there, all washed up and presented invitingly.
The small fox’s face was flushed with red, her cherry lips slightly parted, her dreamy gaze clinging to his pants leg.
Thank you, Mother Nature, for this delightful gift~
How could he possibly return that gesture?
