Most of the migrant workers had gone back to their hometowns for New Year, leaving the city feeling quieter than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streetlights along the sidewalk lit up, painting the rows of trees in bright, colorful light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the shops were closed, but in one of the rare milk tea stores still open, Ning Chu sat sipping her drink and tapping away on her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’d known it would be like this, I would’ve just gone straight to the rental apartment...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed softly. Writing was always easier on a computer than on a phone, and besides—she could’ve played games there too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why hasn’t he gotten off work early today? There’s barely any customers...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes drifted again toward the stand-alone restaurant across the street. She swung her leg impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already been two hours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner she’d come here to wait for Wen Yang, planning to give him a surprise—or maybe just to check if any of his coworkers were a flirtatious vixen. But she’d ended up waiting and waiting...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ning Chu was about to order another drink, the shop assistant—a kid who looked no older than sixteen or seventeen—reminded her gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least she’d managed to write a whole chapter for her novel, so it hadn’t been a total waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the shop, the cold night wind sliced against her dry skin like a knife. She shivered, hunched her shoulders, and buried her chin into the plaid scarf around her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the coldest part of the year, with lows close to zero degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help it—she gave up on the “surprise” idea and sent a text instead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What time are you off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, Wen Yang replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m waiting for the bus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did he get off work?! She hadn’t even noticed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes darted to the bus stop, and sure enough, she quickly spotted his tall figure standing under the shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sneaking up behind him, Ning Chu tiptoed, stretched out her arms, and covered his eyes with her hands. Using a disguised voice, she asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess who I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whiff of her fragrance drifted over, and Wen Yang’s nose twitched. He muttered dryly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of childish idiot is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her palms were soft and fair, but her ten fingers were swollen red like little carrots. Mixed with the faint scent of a young girl was a hint of milkiness... Wen Yang didn’t need to guess—his brain had already supplied the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, let me think... Is it Xinyi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell! Who’s that?!” Ning Chu dropped the act instantly, her voice rising. “Guess again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it must be Siqi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately kicked him in the shin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh~ so thereareothers? Spit it out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang turned around, amusement flickering in his eyes. His smile was gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. There’s only you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu turned her head away with a pout, pretending to be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go find your Xinyi and Siqi, then~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright. I was wrong, I won’t tease you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think just saying ‘wrong’ is enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang gave her a helpless look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what do you want me to do? Buy you supper?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well... Isupposethat’ll do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the holiday, I don’t know if the night market’s even open.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Ning Chu slipped her arm through his and pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go! Supper!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Wen Yang bent his head and lowered his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a love hotel in the other direction. I hear the soundproofing’s great—you wouldn’t have to hold back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu froze. Her face, already red from the cold, turned scarlet. She glared up at him in shame and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re talking about supper! Why are you bringing that up? Your brain’s full of dirty thoughts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Weren’t you planning to ‘eat me’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Pervert!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Okay, yes—shehadbeen thinking that earlier. But since he’d said it out loud, her embarrassment flipped into sheer denial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang tried persuading her again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just give it a try? It’s not that expensive, I’ll pay for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to! And besides, where would you even get the money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From Huabei.” He grabbed Ning Chu’s wrist and started pulling her toward the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, come on, stop being stubborn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As if!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu stumbled after him, struggling and protesting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you think about something else for once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And hotels are expensive, okay? One night costs as much as two days of work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” She pulled back lightly, only to freeze when she realized Wen Yang’s hand had actually let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had slipped free that easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment she stood dumbfounded, then quickly darted forward and shoved her wrist back into Wen Yang’s hand, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing a street, the two arrived at an unremarkable-looking inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sign read “Couples Hotel” rather than “Love Hotel,” which eased Ning Chu’s nerves a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard these kinds of hotels often have hidden cameras,” she whispered into Wen Yang’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if we end up on some spycam site?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t be that bad, right?” Wen Yang scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll check it later, don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would I be worried!? We won’t do anything weird!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet somehow, he could already smell the faint trace of a succubus’ arousal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked around curiously as they stepped inside, heading to the front desk to check in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ning Chu’s first time in a place like this. She glanced at the rate card and noticed that the price wasn’t much different from a normal inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, her heart tensed with unease, half-expecting to find something strange inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was lost in thought, the entrance door opened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu turned around—and froze on the spot, locking eyes withher mother, who had just walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother and daughter stared at each other, unsure what kind of expression was even appropriate for a situation like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ning Chu’s toes curled so hard she felt she might scratch out a whole apartment, Ning Juan paused for only a moment before calmly pretending to see nothing, lowering her head and walking straight toward the back hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a mom—her mental fortitude was top tier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang finished checking in and, glancing at the departing figure, muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That back looks kinda like Auntie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must’ve seen wrong,” Ning Chu forced a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by this, the hotel’s soundproofing must actually be really good—otherwise, why would her mother choose this place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe… she was even a regular here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang scratched his head in confusion and looked at the room card:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Room 107. This way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm? What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crap! Were they about to become neighbors with her mom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no, nothing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang gave her a suspicious look, but Ning Chu had already hurried ahead, keeping her face hidden from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“107…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it was separated from her mother’s room by two doors—not far, but not right next door either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu sighed, utterly despairing. She hadn’t expected things to be this coincidental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened the room, composed herself, and peeked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t look much different from an ordinary inn room—except the lighting was an ambiguous pink-purple, the bed was round, and the ceiling held a massive mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from that…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu’s eyes immediately fell on a strangely shaped chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what it was called, but it was something she’d often seen inthosehentai doujin—the kind that could fix your legs in place and force you into shameful poses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the place her mother had chosen, it’s filled with lewd stuff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Volume 2 Chapter 112 \u002F Chapter 393: P.E.
