Volume 2 Chapter 56 / Chapter 337: Running Away
After dinner, Wen Yang went straight back to the rental.
He had an early shift tomorrow—seven o'clock sharp—so he'd need to get up a little after six. That meant he would need to be going to bed early tonight.
Ning Chu sat idly at the desk in the second bedroom, chin resting in her hands, staring blankly at the computer screen.
She didn't feel like writing at all.
This morning at Wen Yang's rental, with the bed looking like a disaster zone, she couldn't focus on writing. Then she'd been busy after coming home, and now, even in the quiet, she still had no mood for it.
With a sigh, she uploaded the only chapter she had in reserve.
She didn't even feel like gaming. Wen Yang would be busy tidying up his bed and wouldn't have time to play with her anyway.
Her gaze drifted to Black Bean, who was sitting at the desk not far away. Usually, this cat was bouncing all over the place, but tonight she was unusually well-behaved. After dinner, she had practically rooted herself to that chair, scribbling away at her homework.
Seeing that determination, Ning Chu mentally prepared herself for bankruptcy.
Thankfully, Black Bean wasn't picky—she could be appeased with a twenty-yuan takeaway meal. But with three exercise books and a "two pages for one meal" deal, she'd be eating her into poverty in no time.
The second bedroom door opened, and her mother walked in with a plate of sliced apples, placing it on the table.
A few toothpicks stuck out of the pieces. Smiling, she reached over to ruffle Black Bean's silky hair.
"Such a good girl~ already doing your homework."
"Mhm, mhm."
"Here, have some apple."
"Not a fan…"
Cats were pure carnivores—unlike Yan Xinya, who could eat anything with enthusiasm.
"Ning Chu, you eat some too."
"Mm, got it~" Ning Chu turned to look at her mother. "Mom, you're not going out to play mahjong tonight?"
"Why? Planning to head over to Wen Yang's again?"
"No, of course not…"
She wasn't some lustful hentai story heroine—how could she be thinking about men all the time?
Avoiding her mother's teasing gaze, she muttered, "I'm just worried I won't be able to keep Black Bean under control if you're not here."
Her mother rolled her eyes, covering a yawn. "I'm going to bed first. Black Bean, around ten, brush your teeth and go to sleep—no staying up late!"
"I know!"
"How much have you done?"
"Six pages! Sis! I want supper tonight!"
"—Already?!"
It had barely been any time, and she'd already earned three meals.
Ning Chu's heart ached at the thought of the cost… but seeing Black Bean in such high spirits, and her homework neat and serious without any glaring mistakes, she could only bite the bullet and order a twenty-yuan takeaway.
If Black Bean ever got into Tsinghua or Peking University, Ning Chu was definitely taking credit.
Her mother shuffled off to bed, drowsy. With the order placed, Black Bean abandoned her homework and went to wait in the living room.
Ning Chu, meanwhile, glanced at her bank balance and slumped over the desk with a sigh.
It was already nine o'clock, but she wasn't the slightest bit sleepy.
She clicked aimlessly through websites, but before long, she found herself turning her head toward the closed master bedroom door across the hall.
Her heartbeat quickened. Last night's intense experience flashed through her mind, sparking a sudden urge to sneak out.
Her mother was asleep—she wouldn't know.
As long as she came back before six a.m. and slipped back under the covers…
The only risk was Black Bean. For the promise of a tasty treat, that cat might sell her out, so she'd have to wait until Black Bean was asleep before making a move.
No—stop it!
Ning Chu slapped both cheeks with her hands, trying to clear her head.
She wasn't some shameless little minx! Just a few months ago, she had been a man! Being pinned down and ravaged was one thing—but to start craving it?
"Sis! Takeout's here!"
Black Bean came running in with a bag in hand. "I'll eat and then go to bed, you want some?"
"I'll pass," Ning Chu muttered.
Tonight's late-night snack was fried chicken steak with milk tea.
Even before the bag was opened, the faint cumin aroma of the chicken drifted through the room, making Black Bean even more excited.
She ripped open the tightly knotted bag with almost violent enthusiasm, pulled on disposable gloves, took a huge bite of chicken, then chased it down with a gulp of milk tea. The pleasure was so intense her cat ears practically drooped in contentment.
Ning Chu's nose twitched ever so slightly as she stared at Black Bean with longing eyes.
"Sis, you want some too?"
"No, I don't really like chicken steak."
She turned her gaze back to the computer screen, but under the desk, her leg bounced restlessly.
She pulled up an anime to watch, but her mind wasn't following the plot at all—her eyes kept darting toward Black Bean.
"Here." Black Bean tore off a piece of chicken and held it to Ning Chu's lips. "If you want some, just say so~ I'm not gonna guard my food!"
"…"
Wordlessly, Ning Chu took a bite.
By the time the anime episode ended, Black Bean had finally finished her snack. She cleaned up the trash, then skipped happily to the bathroom.
A moment later, she emerged freshly washed, dove under the covers, and poked just her head out. "Sis! Sleep with me!"
"I'm not sleepy yet—you go ahead."
"Aww~ Turn off the lights, then."
With the curtains drawn and lights turned off—the room sank into darkness. Ning Chu even dimmed the computer screen and put on her headphones, afraid to disturb Black Bean's sleep.
She kept a nervous eye on the computer screen, using its faint reflection to watch Black Bean. Finally, she heard the soft sound of snoring through her headphones.
Almost instantly, she sprang to her feet—but then forced herself to move lightly. On tiptoe, she crept to the wardrobe, pulled out an outfit for going out, and changed.
She cracked the door open just enough to peek toward the master bedroom.
Yes—still closed tight.
It had been long enough; her mother was surely asleep by now. And since she'd stayed up all last night playing mahjong without napping during the day, she'd definitely be out cold.
Ning Chu cast one last glance at Black Bean, then closed the door with barely a sound.
Once out of the second bedroom, her tension eased a little. She hurried to the front door, slipped on her shoes, and turned the lock.
Click!
The sound of the deadbolt made her freeze instantly, scalp prickling. She didn't move for several seconds, listening for any movement from the master bedroom.
Nothing.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she quietly undid the lock and slipped out.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In his rental, Wen Yang had already washed his sheets and duvet cover, the quilt tucked neatly over the bare comforter.
He was ready to sleep.
As a man, after having that first experience, it was impossible not to crave it again. His mind kept replaying the image of Ning Chu twisting her waist, taking him in with effort—but with them apart tonight, no amount of imagining could satisfy the ache.
There was even a lingering worry in the back of his mind—last night, he'd gotten carried away, only realizing afterward that with his strength and her petite frame, she might have struggled, maybe her lower part was even torn and bled. But as expected of a succubus, her natural talent in that area was undeniable.
Still, he couldn't fall asleep.
Images flashed in his mind—the silver lines on her lower belly, the raised outline there—
Then, a faint sound at the door.
The pictures in his head shattered instantly. He looked up on instinct, catching a whiff of that faint, sweet scent that belonged only to her.
Sure enough, the door opened, and Ning Chu's flushed, heated face peeked inside.
"You're still up?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I… couldn't sleep, so I came over to write…"
She stepped in, shutting the door behind her and slipping off her shoes. Then she crawled onto the bed, sticking her butt up as she scooted toward him.
"Hey! I came here to write, don't lick my ear! It tickles~"
