With Zhang Shaoqing now crashing in Wen Yang’s tiny rental, hotel meetups were probably the only option left.

Those couple-themed inns weren’t that expensive—just over two hundred a night—but for two students, there was no way they could afford that every day.

For a succubus, though, doing the deed actually kept her energetic and refreshed instead of drained and pale. Still, too much of it could only end badly.

If this went on, she’d really end up like one of those hentai stories heroines—unable to live without a man.

No, she had to quit. Cold turkey.

‘Alright. Today will be the last time!’

. . .

“Mom…”

Early in the morning, Ning Chu pushed the door open, only to see her mother mopping the floor.

After going through so much, the shame and awkwardness inside her had dulled. Her cheeks only reddened slightly, her eyes a little evasive.

Ning Juan didn’t bother scolding anymore. Hands resting on the mop, she asked in her usual tone—curious what excuse her daughter would come up with this time:

“Out again last night?”

“My classmate came by, Wen Yang and I took him out for a late snack.”

“And the second half of the night?”

“…”

Ning Juan shook her head helplessly. She could understand—her daughter was a succubus who’d just gotten a taste of things—but wasn’t this a bit too much?

“Mom, are you free later?”

“What for?”

“Uh… I want to buy some new underwear.” Ning Chu glanced down at her chest in frustration. “The ones I ordered online are stuck at the courier hub because of the holiday rush.”

She’d already reached the average level for succubi, probably about the same as Lily—but still a size smaller than her mother.

Thankfully, once she hit a C-cup, the swelling pains had eased. That was probably the growth limit.

At 1.6 meters tall with just enough curves to hit C-cup, she wasn’t voluptuous, but since all the flesh had gone to her chest, her figure looked extra suggestive.

Any fitted top instantly highlighted her bust. Loose clothes, on the other hand, made her look thicker around the waist.

Thankfully, it was winter. Bundled up in her padded jacket, the bulkiness was still acceptable.

“Alright. I’ve got a shop I visit often. I’ll take you later.”

Her mother shoved the mop into her hands, adding, "We'll go after you finish the chores.”

“You’re paying, right?”

“You want me to buy your underwear?”

“I don’t have money~ and I’m even doing housework for you…” Ning Chu muttered, sounding wronged.

Last night had already cost her over two hundred! Even if she could earn a little from writing, she couldn’t keep spending like this.

If this kept up, she’d end up like those broke campus couples—reduced to sneaking around in the wild.

Absolutely not!

She had to quit. She had to.

Her mother shot her a look. “Where’s all your money going?”

“Uh… you told me to… keep the noise down so the neighbors wouldn’t complain.”

Ning Chu ducked her head guiltily, grabbed the mop, and pretended to focus on cleaning.

Just then, the bathroom door opened. Ning Yuan shuffled out yawning. Seeing his sister actually doing chores, he froze.

“The sun must be rising from the west.”

In front of their mom she might act like a lamb, but in front of her brother, Ning Chu puffed up right away:

“Mom cleans every day, I feel bad for her!”

“Unlike you—sleeping all the time. Go roll up your bedding already!”

Ning Yuan let out a helpless laugh, crouched down, and began bundling up his mat, mattress, and blanket, all the while muttering,

“I have never seen you so eager before. You wouldn’t even go downstairs to buy me a Coke…”

Still, he had to admit—during this winter break, Ning Chu really had become a lot more diligent.

When her mother was cooking, she would go join in, helping with the ingredients and learning to cook. On ordinary days, she’d also lend a hand wiping down tables, sweeping the floor, hanging clothes out to dry…

Was she already heading in the direction of becoming a model wife and loving mother?

With mixed feelings, Ning Yuan stacked the rolled-up bedding in the corner.

Watching his little brother gradually turning into the image of a perfect wife stirred a heavy sense of melancholy. Just thinking about how, in the future, his sibling would end up serving another man left him even more bitter.

That was his little brother he had protected since childhood! Sure, he’d beaten him up a few times, teased him now and then, but overall, he’d never let Ning Chu suffer much injustice.

When Ning Chu was bullied at school as a kid, he was always the first to charge in—even if it meant getting beaten up himself…

And now, that little brother had become a little sister, and in a few years, she’d even marry into another family.

“Mom, will big brother also turn into a girl?”

Ning Yuan snapped out of his melancholy at once, whipping his head toward his sister’s expectant face, instantly fuming.

“You just can’t stand to see me doing well, can you?!”

“Well, you’re the only man in the house, it’s inconvenient. Better if you become a sister too~”

“As if that would happen!”

He rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa like a lord, sprawling comfortably, showing no intention of helping with chores.

“How could that be? Ning Chu’s case is pretty unique. And remember, there were already problems during her physical checkups as a child.” Their mother, still wiping down the dining table, smiled as she explained. “If your brother wanted to become your sister, he’d probably have to undergo surgery.”

“Might as well have it cut, he’s not going to use it anyway.”

Ning Yuan's face darkened: “Get lost!”

He might still be a virgin, but his orientation was normal. Just because he hadn’t used it yet didn’t mean he was about to chop it off and live as a girl!

“Pfft why so worked up over a joke”

Back in her boarding school days, Ning Chu would also sweep and mop, but the dorm was small, so it would barely take him any effort. At home, though, the apartment was over seventy square meters—by the time she finished mopping the whole floor, she was nearly wiped out.

And then she still had to swap on a dry cloth and mop again to make sure the wooden floorboards didn’t get ruined.

Groaning, she sat down, holding her aching waist to rest—only for her mother to call out:

“Ning Chu, come here for a moment.”

“Mom! Don’t exploit me like this!”

Her butt hadn’t even warmed the seat yet, and now she had to haul herself back up, swaying over to the dining table.

“What is it?”

Ning Juan glanced at Ning Yuan slouched on the sofa, then pulled a card from her wallet and waved it in front of her daughter.

“A bank card?” Ning Chu’s eyes lit up.

“A membership card.”

“Oh~”

Her mother lowered her voice. “That hotel from before—this card gets us a discount. Saves some money.”

“!!!”

“When you need it, just grab it from my wallet. Report my phone number at the desk.”

Wait a sec—didn’t those motels never bother pushing membership cards at the front desk? You went and got one anyway? You’re a regular there?!

Ning Chu froze, then lit up in delight, only for her joy to crumble into silence.

Why the hell is she happy!? She was supposed to be quitting this whole thing!

“…Got it.”

“Get ready. We’ll head out to buy underwear later. And wake up Black Bean too—we’ll pick up a few sets for her as well.”

“Does she even need them?”

Black Bean might have just entered puberty, but her chest was still flat as a board.

“Better to prepare early. Just a few camisoles for her.”

“What’s the point of those…”

Ning Chu muttered under her breath—then immediately remembered that even without breasts, when development started, the friction could still make things sore and uncomfortable.

She herself had gone through that pain, and back then, no one had guided her at all. She’d stumbled through it, utterly clueless.
