I wanna see what kind of woman it is who drains Wang Jie dry every single time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoqing teased Wang Jie without any restraint. Wang Jie, the honest type, couldn’t even talk back. He sat in the front passenger seat, yawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu waved goodbye to the two roommates, then muttered behind their backs, badmouthing Zhang Shaoqing: “As if he’s not the one whose legs go weak from Qian Qian draining him dry, yet he still has the nerve to talk about Wang Jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Wang Jie’s pale, drained look, Zhang Shaoqing at least still had some color in his face. He didn’t look completely sucked dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at Wen Yang beside her and asked curiously, “Why did Shaoqing call you ‘big bro’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang rubbed the bridge of his nose helplessly. “Last night when I went to the bathroom, the two of them insisted on following me in to look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… yeah, that’d definitely be a shock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life really is unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel wasn’t far from the nearby pedestrian street. The two of them couldn’t be bothered to spend money on a cab, so they held hands and strolled leisurely down the street in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After days of gloomy rain, the weather had finally turned bright and sunny. The afternoon sunlight wasn’t scorching, but warm and comfortable, and with the gentle spring breeze, Ning Chu felt especially relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still bothered by what had happened last night, her cheeks tinged with embarrassed red. “Was I really that loud last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That shouldn’t be possible… I usually try to hold back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked anxious, afraid that her image had been completely ruined in front of her roommates. Even though Zhang Shaoqing had walked in on them once before, He had only known that she and Wen Yang were “in battle”, he hadn’t heard any sounds. This time was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she’d been drunk last night too, she couldn’t even remember how wild she’d gotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang suppressed a laugh and ruffled the top of her head. “Relax, they didn’t hear anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good~” Ning Chu finally let out a long sigh of relief, then complained, “Even if people find out I’m a succubus, I don’t want them thinking I’m as slutty as those other succubi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean Lily?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not~ Lily is the shame of succubi! I’m way better than her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Ning Chu was talking about those succubi who show up in every vice squad raid and take part in every single orgy. If she were mistaken for that kind of succubus, her life would probably be flooded with men trying to get a taste of her, asking her out or challenging her to a ‘match.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang glanced down at the little succubus whose hand he was holding. “Feels like you two are about the same—pot calling the kettle black.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are we the same?! I have a boyfriend, okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At times like this, Ning Chu would randomly start competing with Lily over who was the ‘better’ succubus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, you’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how perfunctory Wen Yang was being, she viciously slipped her cold hand up under the hem of his shirt. But the weather had warmed up, and the little bit of chill in her hand no longer posed much of a threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang teased. “We’re out in public, don’t be so forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression quickly changed. He frowned and sucked in a breath. “Hey, don’t pinch me—it hurts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Serves you right~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu smugly pulled her hand back out of his clothes and wiggled her fingers proudly. “I even left my nails a bit longer—I was planning to borrow Lily’s nail polish~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, yeah. You’re the best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang rubbed his temples and tried to persuade her. “Can you not keep your nails long? No wonder my shoulders have all these scratch marks lately, it hurts like hell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once women grow out their nails, their lethality multiplies. The scary part isn’t just the pain, if they ever get into a fight and she scratches his face, he’d still have to endure his buddies mocking him the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he happened to have a buddy like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But long nails look nice~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you remember? You used to refuse to even wear women’s clothes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Times have changed~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu was in a great mood. Even the ends of her sentences had a light, lilting tone, and as she walked, she kept bouncing on the balls of her feet. Her steps were so light and lively, she looked like a little elf who’d wandered out of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Wen Yang’s hand, she swung their arms in big arcs, completely unconcerned about the looks from passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she’d been a woman for quite some time now, when it came to shopping, she still preferred picking a clear goal and heading straight there. This time, the goal was the movie theater… but while walking down the street arm in arm with Wen Yang, she suddenly felt that just wandering around like this—looking at street food and clothes, teasing the cats and dogs they passed—was pretty fun too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a nail salon here. I’ve never been to this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu suddenly stopped and looked at a small shop by the roadside, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you leaving your nails long anyway?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitantly looked up at Wen Yang, then lowered her head to fiddle with her slender fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang didn’t say anything more. He simply took her hand and led her straight into the nail salon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s there to be shy about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that… I’m worried it’ll be expensive…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been a girl for a while now, you’ve even been to lingerie shops.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered softly, “If I came alone, I wouldn’t even dare to go in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was a trace of modesty left over from when she used to be a man, but to this day, she still felt a bit shy and curious about shops that specialized in women’s services. Even with hair salons, she didn’t really want to walk into ones that were clearly labeled for women. When she was out, she didn’t even like using public restrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was dragged into the shop by Wen Yang despite her reluctance. Two enthusiastic female attendants immediately came up to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendants’ words went in one ear and out the other. Ning Chu didn’t hear a thing they were saying. She looked around instead, her eyes immediately searching the wall for a price list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she’d never been to a place like this, she’d heard before that nail salons charged prices very “freely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, this shop had a clearly posted price list on the wall, so at least she didn’t have to worry about being ripped off too badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help her get her nails done,” Wen Yang said, pulling Ning Chu out from where she was peeking out nervously from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know what kind to get…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant immediately handed over a small booklet filled with different nail designs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu flipped through it in a daze, occasionally holding up her fingers to compare. Her face was full of confusion, and her awkward legs unconsciously drew together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one?” She pointed to a flashy-looking design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That one requires nail extensions~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked even more lost, not understanding at all. “Nail… what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her first manicure, she really should’ve called Lily to be her advisor. That girl loved beauty stuff, she even painted her nails when she went to class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no choice, she handed the decision over to Wen Yang. Tilting her head up, she looked at the equally clueless-looking man beside her. “Which one do you think looks good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They all seem… okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s try the cheapest one first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Link for character illustration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fdrive.google.com\u002Fdrive\u002Ffolders\u002F1IxOucqi87ss3bmqfO9zI2gYiM1Gy8Hz2\u003C\u002Fp>",1344,"2026-06-10T06:04:15.012Z",1,"novelbin.me","e392466c8193985b51d311f4b5f9ba869b935fc4e1a2c5db39fb9e2224c1bd57","trapped-in-paradise-chapter-454","trapped-in-paradise-chapter-452",471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrapped-in-paradise-cover.jpg"]
