632. A New Life
The morning sunlight poured through the curtains into the cramped room, and the cheerful melody of the alarm clock rang out.
Wen Yang jolted awake and immediately grabbed his mobile phone charging by the pillow, hastily silencing the ringing, fearing it might wake the peacefully sleeping Little Succubus.
He turned around on tiptoes to take a peek at Ning Chu, who was sleeping beside him.
The alarm clock had disturbed her dreams, and her fan-like lashes fluttered gently as she let out a soft, cat-like whimper. She rolled over, her long, fair legs poking out from under the quilt, playfully trapping it.
She was completely n*ked, her smooth, pale skin exposed to the sun, reflecting a soft yellow glow.
The slender beauty, unaware of her vulnerability, displayed her figure with ease. Little bruises dotted her skin, and dry liquid stains clung to her waist and thighs.
Wen Yang nearly lost his focus, eyes glued to the enticing scene before him, but instead, he leaned down, pressing a gentle peck on Ning Chu’s forehead, filled with affection.
He was exhausted from last night…
After a week apart, this Little Succubus had been so wild that he felt like he could barely keep up. Getting up from bed made his back and waist ache.
As the male protagonist from Ning Chu’s stories, it was a bit embarrassing to admit he had his limits.
This couldn’t continue; he needed to hit the gym during his work breaks to avoid being totally worn out in the future.
The bed sheets were a chaotic mess, stained with traces of their wild night, and the air was heavy with a sultry aroma—evidence of their adventurous escapades strewn around the room.
Wen Yang gingerly got up, his legs still wobbly. One hand gripped the wall for support while the other held his sore lower back.
As he stood up, he suddenly felt something slender wrapped around his calf, and before he could react, a cold little hand tugged on his pinky finger.
He turned back to find Ning Chu gazing at him with bewildered eyes, glistening with a watery sheen, resembling a pitiful little kitten looking at him earnestly.
“Why are you awake? Sleep a bit more,” he suggested.
“Um…”
Still hazy from sleep, Ning Chu’s mind was rebooting, her tail remaining wrapped around Wen Yang’s leg, instinctively clinging to him.
“My body kinda hurts~”
Her voice was hoarse yet sultry, like she was trying to seduce him.
“Just rest at home and take it easy,” Wen Yang gently reassured her. “Let go of your tail, I’ll wash up and grab you some breakfast. I need to head to work soon.”
“……”
Ning Chu stared blankly at him, her processor still booting up after last night’s overload, and gradually the dazed look in her eyes began to brighten.
Suddenly realizing she was completely n*ked, her face flushed bright red, and she pulled the quilt over herself, diving into it with only her head poking out.
But the damp quilt felt a bit chilly, prompting memories of last night to flood back, making her face even more radiant.
“You weren’t shy last night,” Wen Yang teased with a playful smile. “You rolled your eyes and kept insisting you wanted more.”
“No way! I don’t remember that… I didn’t roll my eyes!”
“You sent me those scandalous pictures just the other day.”
“That was a picture I found online!”
“Right, I totally believe you.”
Little Succubus was always like that—when she was in the moment, she was more brazen than anyone, yet in everyday life, she seemed shy like a pure little girl.
Wen Yang gently stroked Ning Chu’s head before heading off to the bathroom to wash up.
Cleaning the house could wait until tonight; Ning Chu looked far too floppy to rely on for any help.
“Are you going to take a shower on your own later?”
While washing up, he called out toward the bathroom.
He used to help Ning Chu bathe, but he was too tired this time; he had crashed right after attending to her.
“Sure~”
“What do you want for breakfast? I’ll get it before work.”
“What’s available?”
“Soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, pan-fried dumplings, sticky rice chicken…”
“Why not eat yourself instead?”
Wen Yang’s words were abruptly interrupted, and his mouth twitched slightly.
Even though his body was feeling worn out, as a male lead, he wouldn’t admit defeat yet. Still, was this Succubus a bit too energetic? Just a moment ago, she was whining about pain.
As Ning Chu lay on the bed, expectantly looking toward the bathroom, she didn’t hear Wen Yang’s response and could only mumble sheepishly, “Just kidding, teasing you.”
She buried her face in her pillow, embarrassed.
Why did she ever blurt that out? And got rejected by Wen Yang too…
It made her seem rather needy!
After a quick shower, Wen Yang exited the bathroom dressed, his hair only half-dried.
He collected the garbage and tidied up while reminding her, “When I’m not home, remember to lock the door. I sent you the WiFi password. Just go left for 300 meters down to the subway; right across from it is a mall. You can check it out whenever you want…”
“Beware of job offers that ask for money; those are scams. When they reach out to you, they might just offer training. No need to rush finding a job. I’ve saved up some money over the years; I can support you for a good half a year, so take your time.”
“I usually get off work at 5:30, and I’ll be home by six. I’ll bring you dinner; if I have to work late, just order takeout for yourself…”
Ning Chu remained tucked snugly in the quilt, only her head peeking out, gazing at Wen Yang as he prepared to leave.
In this strange city, she felt a bit intimidated.
But how could she ask him to take the day off to keep her company? She could only watch Wen Yang’s retreating figure with longing.
Maybe sensing her gaze, Wen Yang suddenly turned around and asked, “Should I take a day off today to show you around and help you get accustomed?”
She quickly hid her pitiful look, shaking her head nonchalantly. “I’m not a child.”
“Really don’t need it?”
“Nope!”
Wen Yang nodded, “Alright then, I’ll go get you some food. I’ll be back in ten minutes.”
The door closed, and she could still hear his footsteps echoing in the hallway.
Ning Chu sighed softly, picking up her phone to browse job listings, muttering to herself, “When I say I don’t need it, I really don’t….”
“Looks like it’s job hunting time again~”
She anxiously ran her fingers through her messy hair, turning around to lean against the headboard, elbows resting on the bed to avoid suffocating from her own assets.
“Now that I’m this pretty, it should be easy to find a job, right?”
“Will I run into those workplace rules or whatever? Gotta remember the hypnosis spray…”
“If I hypnotize my boss, wouldn’t I easily get promoted and get a raise?”
Just when the thought sparked a brilliant idea, Ning Chu’s eyes lit up, only to swiftly dismiss the notion.
After selecting a position she liked and casually applying to a few companies, she steadied her wobbly body and slowly made her way to the bathroom.
“I really need to wash up…”
She still felt dirty, sticky, and it made her uncomfortable.
Standing in the cramped bathroom, she turned on the shower, letting the water wash over her while gazing up at the orange light above.
“Time to step into society~”
For her, this day had been delayed for three years, but facing it still filled her with apprehension and fear.
Fortunately, this time, she had Wen Yang by her side, supported by her mother, and with a clear direction in life… she was no longer alone.
