Trapped In Paradise
Volume 2 Chapter 213 / Chapter 493: Before Heading Home
"We're heading back already…"
On the last day of the holiday, Ning Chu was still in poor condition.
She hadn't slept well in the tent the night before, and without her usual "nutrition" to replenish her energy, she still looked drowsy—eyes red, a faint trace of tears lingering at the corners.
She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and stretched with a yawn.
"Ning Chu! Leaving so early?"
After returning the rented tents, the girls came over, laughing and chatting.
"Yeah, our train's in the morning." Ning Chu glanced back at them, yawning repeatedly. "I'll catch up on sleep on the train."
"We need to go back and sleep too, so sleepy~"
Unlike Ning Chu, who hadn't slept well due to the unfamiliar environment, Yan Xinya and the others were exhausted from playing mahjong too late into the night.
Who knew how they managed to play mahjong under streetlights by the seaside until the middle of the night?
Lily stopped beside her, glancing down at the ride-hailing app on her phone, then suddenly asked softly, "Need help?"
"Huh? No need."
Although Lily always seemed cold and quiet, Ning Chu could still feel her concern.
Since yesterday, Lily's gaze had often lingered on her.
"It's nothing, just going home. See you at school tomorrow." Ning Chu wrapped her arm around Wen Yang's arm. "Besides, Wen Yang's coming with me. Don't worry."
"Mm."
Zhang Shaoqing walked over with his hands in his pockets, looking carefree, alongside Qian Qian. "Want me to drive you to the station?"
"You're saying that now after I already called a car?"
"How was I supposed to know if you didn't tell me earlier?!"
"You guys are leaving already?" Qian Qian only realized just then. "I was thinking we could go shopping together this afternoon."
"Got something to do. Next time."
Right on cue, the ride-hailing car Ning Chu ordered arrived.
She waved at the group behind her. When she looked up again, Wen Yang had already opened the back door like a doorman, standing to the side waiting for her to get in first.
"You can just get in yourself."
Muttering, Ning Chu bent down and got into the car, shifting toward the left side, then casually told the driver the last digits of her phone number.
This afternoon, she would finally meet the father she had never seen before…
Feeling the slight vibrations of the moving car, she leaned sideways, resting her demon horns against Wen Yang's arm.
"So annoying."
"What's annoying now?"
"I've got no energy, and I don't even want to go home…"
Ning Chu really didn't know what kind of attitude she should take when facing that father.
Maybe she should learn from Lily? Keep a straight face and act cold and aloof?
This feeling—forcing herself to do something she didn't want to—was unbearable. It made her extremely anxious, like a heavy weight pressing on her chest, as if she needed some kind of release.
She lifted her pretty face slightly, the corners of her eyes twitching faintly, her alluring gaze fixed on Wen Yang.
Wen Yang's arm slipped around her back, resting gently on her shoulder as he comforted her. "Aren't I here with you?"
Seeing that her hint didn't work, Ning Chu straightened up, pressing lightly against him, and said pitifully in a soft voice:
"I haven't eaten for over a day… I'm hungry…"
He could clearly feel the soft rise and fall against his chest. Her warm breath brushed past his sensitive ear, carrying a faint, sweet scent.
Almost instantly, Wen Yang reacted. He stiffened, quickly putting some distance between them, tugging his jacket down in an attempt to hide his reaction.
"Be careful, we're in public."
This little succubus was too much to handle.
He had spent the last two days sleeping beside Ning Chu without daring to make a move—who knew how many suggestive dreams he'd had.
And now she was openly teasing him.
Awkwardly, he signaled to Ning Chu with his eyes. Only then did she realize the driver was repeatedly glancing at them through the rearview mirror, clearly curious.
"Never seen a couple whispering before?"
Ning Chu muttered softly, then composed herself, sitting properly with her legs together, smoothing out her slightly messy hair.
After dozing off in the car for forty to fifty minutes, the two finally arrived at the train station.
Since their train was in the afternoon, Ning Chu wasn't in a hurry to enter the station. Instead, she turned her head to look for a nearby budget hotel.
"Shouldn't we get some breakfast first?"
"We'll eat at the hotel."
"But I'm pretty hungry…"
Ning Chu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. Thinking that being hungry might affect Wen Yang's "performance," she reluctantly nodded her head. "Then I want to eat mixed noodles."
Seeing how impatient and eager she looked, Wen Yang couldn't help but laugh.
Once upon a time, Ning Chu would half-resist even simple physical contact, always looking like she'd been taken advantage of. Even after giving in, she insisted on keeping the lights off, and before getting into the mood, she'd act shy and bashful.
But now, her mind was full of those kinds of thoughts—she didn't even bother pretending anymore.
Just one day, and she was already this craving—truly a qualified succubus.
They found a place to eat breakfast. Wen Yang lowered his voice and teased her, "What if I have to go on a business trip someday? It's only been one day, right?"
"Then I'll get Lily and organize a party~"
If any other succubus said that, Wen Yang might believe it—but coming from Ning Chu, it only made him want to laugh.
And she even included Lily—that "disgrace of succubi" who talked boldly online about relationships, but in real life couldn't even speak properly when facing men.
Forget a party—if those two went out alone, they probably wouldn't even dare step into a bar.
"Oh right, I should call my mom and let her know I'm going back."
Only then did Ning Chu remember to inform her family. She took out her phone and dialed while saying, "Classes start again tomorrow, I still need to ask that female ghost for leave."
"Want me to talk to the counselor?"
"No… shh~" Her call was answered. She put a finger to her lips, signaling Wen Yang to stay quiet, then raised her voice energetically. "Mom! I'm coming back this afternoon! I'll be home around four!"
Her mother sounded surprised. "This afternoon? Aren't you having class tomorrow?"
"I'll just take a day off~ Wen Yang's coming with me too, so make more food for dinner."
"You didn't come back during the holiday the past two days—don't let it affect your studies…"
Ning Chu paused, then asked, "When did he come back?"
"A few days ago."
"And he… has he gone to see you?"
"Mm."
The audacity!
Ning Chu immediately felt a surge of irritation and asked impatiently, "Mom, when are you planning to divorce him? What did Uncle say?"
"We'll see."
Hearing her mother's vague answer, Ning Chu couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that she was softening? Her mother had already planned to file for divorce before—but now that he was back, and an amicable divorce would be easier, why was she hesitating?
Then what about Uncle? He was a pretty decent person!
Damn, it suddenly made her even less willing to go home and face this situation.
No matter how firmly she disliked her father, she couldn't force her mother to make a decision.
She really wasn't good at dealing with this kind of family drama.
Compared to this, she'd rather trigger one of those smutty plotlines and deal with that instead—at least she was more comfortable handling those, whether it meant going into heat and getting thoroughly "handled," or playing along with some roleplay.
