ALL NOVEL Chapter 311
Chapter 311: Daily Life
After showering, Ning Chu stepped out of the bathroom in her pajamas.
She peeked over at her brother and boyfriend, who seemed to be having a good chat on the sofa, and her heart felt a little lighter.
“Hei Dou! It’s your turn to shower!”
“Oh!”
Hei Dou dashed over like a whirlwind.
This cat originally feared water, terrified of baths to the point of death. When she first turned into a cat girl, giving her a bath nearly cost Ning Chu half her life.
But under their mother’s training, Hei Dou surprisingly overcame her fear of water; just a single shout sent her scampering off to the bathroom.
After all, Mother is a little scarier…
Seeing Hei Dou rush into the bedroom for her pajamas, Ning Chu finally approached the sofa, curiously observing Wen Yang and Ning Yuan.
While she was showering, the two had a brief encounter, and now they seemed to be getting along well.
At least, she didn’t notice any rejection from her brother’s eyes towards Wen Yang.
“How are your college grades? You’re not just playing all day, are you?” Ning Yuan asked casually while munching on sunflower seeds.
Mentioning grades made Ning Chu a bit anxious.
Wasn’t she just playing all through college?
If it weren’t for Wen Yang tutoring her over the last two months, who knows how many subjects she would have failed.
“It’s alright, I guess?” She leaned back on the sofa armrest, muttering, “Wen Yang can teach me what I don’t know; he’s a straight-A student.”
“Oh?”
Ning Yuan glanced at Wen Yang, feeling a bit more satisfied with this future brother-in-law.
Good-looking, gentle personality, takes care of others, and good grades… Ning Chu’s taste was decent, unlike some little girls who liked slackers.
Wen Yang smiled a bit shyly, clearly feeling a little awkward.
He always seemed quiet in Ning Chu’s home, eager to help out with chores, trying to create a reliable image.
“I’ll head back to my room; I have things to do.”
Seeing her brother was indeed not opposed to Wen Yang, Ning Chu gave him an encouraging look and hurried off to her bedroom.
She hadn’t updated her novel today.
Not a single word written…
Ning Yuan glanced at the floor arrangement in the living room, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Without a man in the house, as the eldest son, he was supposed to be the second most important person after their mother. When Ning Chu was little, she wouldn’t dare make a scene in front of him, even if she could in front of their mother.
After all, he was capable of giving a good smack.
And now… Ning Chu had turned into a girl and instantly became their mother’s precious jewel. Even if it wasn’t said out loud, he could clearly feel their mother’s emphasis on Ning Chu.
Then suddenly, there was an inexplicably added cat girl, and he got a quirky little sister.
Due to her young age, she was undeniably above him in the pecking order…
Now he had no bed to sleep on and could only pathetically sleep on the floor.
Ning Yuan turned to Wen Yang beside him, suddenly feeling a sense of camaraderie…
“So, should we go find a hotel to sleep?” He stretched lazily, explaining, “My house is too small; we have no choice but to sleep on the floor, I even have to share that with you.”
“A hotel… isn’t necessary, right?”
“As long as you don’t mind.” Having gotten a bit more comfortable, Ning Yuan’s chatty nature began to show, “Hey, how does my sister do at school? Is her grade really okay? With her personality, she probably wants to let loose in college.”
“Is she used to being a girl? Has she made any new friends? How did you guys get to know each other? Progressing so fast? By the way, what’s my mom’s attitude towards you?”
One question after another tumbled from Ning Yuan’s mouth, leaving Wen Yang unsure which one to answer first.
He could only respond one by one until the last question, where his voice hesitated, sounding a bit guilty: “Auntie… thinks my family is a bit poor.”
“So what if it’s poor? My family isn’t much better off.”
“How poor, exactly?”
Wen Yang smiled helplessly, “I won’t say we’re destitute… but let’s just say we’re ‘barely above nothing.'”
“My college tuition was funded by scholarships, plus some relatives chipping in.”
“……”
Ning Yuan fell silent for a moment. That’s not just a bit poor; they probably qualify for welfare!
He paused, trying to console him: “It’s fine; at least you’ve made it to college. Just work hard from here on.”
Wen Yang could only nod in bitter agreement.
In the bedroom, Ning Chu had barely written a few hundred words when her mother strolled in.
She quickly switched her document to a webpage and turned to her mother, asking, “Mom, is something up?”
“Busy with something?”
“Nope, just watching videos.”
Her mother sat at the edge of the bed, peeking at the anime playing on her screen, and wrinkled her nose, “Aren’t you a bit too old to be watching cartoons?”
“Uh…”
Ning Chu didn’t even know how to rebut.
Look at all the holy light and dark priests on the screen; is this really just a kid’s show?!
“So, how’s your relationship with Wen Yang lately?”
“It’s going pretty well.”
“Are you remembering to stay safe?”
Ning Chu froze; she suddenly remembered the protection that her mother had placed on her nightstand.
Even though it was the largest size, it was obvious it wouldn’t fit Wen Yang.
She sighed helplessly, “Mom, I still haven’t gone all the way…”
“!!!”
Her mother was shocked. Her daughter was a succubus, and with a boyfriend, it had been months without going all the way?
Her feelings were complicated, a bit suspicious as she looked toward the door: “Is he… maybe not feeling well?”
There’s no way her daughter has any issues; it must be something with Wen Yang.
Ning Chu’s face flushed uncontrollably, lowering her head to avoid her mother’s gaze, mumbling, “No, Mom… a few months ago, I was still a boy…”
“Well… I can’t accept it either.”
“Besides, isn’t it better to love yourself?”
Though with her current level of succubus-ness, if things got heated and Wen Yang had ideas, she would likely just be coy, saying no while her body honestly gave in.
Her mother nodded in agreement with Ning Chu’s viewpoint: “After all, you’ve only known for a few months that you’re a succubus, and you’ve only just developed.”
She certainly hoped her daughter could maintain self-respect, but the nature of a succubus simply had nothing to do with self-respect.
Feeling a little complicated, she curiously asked, “So how do you usually deal with it?”
Ning Chu’s head practically burrowed into her chest, her ears blushing red, and she mumbled softly: “Uh, I handle it myself…”
Or ask Wen Yang for help, or use some little toys. There were plenty of ways to manage.
Though she occasionally felt unfulfilled, she largely held back.
“Oh~”
Ning Chu couldn’t hold back any longer, countering, “And you?”
“Are you asking for a beating?!”
Her mother pretended to raise her fist, scaring Ning Chu to retract her neck: “No more questions! I’m busy now, you go to sleep.”
She could only be asked whatever but not get to ask… so much authority!
After all, there are only a few possible answers…
“Sis~ I’m done with my shower!”
Hei Dou bounced in joy, “Mom! I’m going to sleep now! I have class in the morning!”
“Okay, I’ll turn off the lights for you two.”
Her mother turned and exited, casually switching off the lights and closing the door.
Hei Dou climbed up on the bed dutifully, covering herself with the blanket, stretching as she prepared to sleep.
But Ning Chu interrupted her sleep: “Hei Dou, I need to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“Do you often see a big uncle coming to our house?”
“Big uncle? Oh~ Are you talking about Dad?” Hei Dou thought for a moment, “He comes twice a week, I think?”
Ning Chu suddenly had a realization.
Got it~
