Chapter 34: A Noisy Night and a Dreamy Date Plan

The city’s night

Wasn’t quiet—louder than day. Cars wove through neon, spewing exhaust; office windows glowed, silhouetting hunched workers.

West of the skyscrapers,

Jiang Ning’s neighborhood stood. Not small—compared to Luo Su’s place, it was massive.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Jiang Cha knocked softly on her sister’s door. In this vast city, they were each other’s only family.

“Coming…”

“Let me in.”

With permission, Jiang Cha opened the door, greeted by girly pink everywhere… yep, her choice, hehe.

“What’s for dinner?”

Jiang Ning hugged a pillow, sprawled ungracefully on her bed, yawning nonstop—thanks to “Teacher Xu.”

“…”

Jiang Cha sat beside her, serious. “Something light. You’ve got a main course tonight, right?”

“!!!”

Jiang Ning’s face flushed, mumbling, “No way!”

“Then I’ll eat it?!” Jiang Cha teased.

“No chance!” Jiang Ning stood huffily, storming to the kitchen. This bad sister, always targeting her little succubus—too much.

“Phew…”

Watching her sister’s hasty retreat, Jiang Cha zoned out. After their family’s upheaval,

Both had their flaws.

“Cough…” Jiang Ning stared at the kitchen, face scrunched. “Not… you cooking again?”

“What!” Jiang Cha put her hands on her hips. “My cooking’s better than takeout, isn’t it?”

“Gross,” Jiang Ning said flatly.

Jiang Cha: “…”

Pfft… bad sister. No way her food was that bad… She took a bite…

“Not bad,” she said, forcing it down.

“Good.” Jiang Ning swayed smugly. “Eat it all, sis—no wasting food.”

“You’re not eating?” Jiang Cha gaped.

“Nope!” Jiang Ning grinned wickedly. “I’m good.”

“Then what?” Jiang Cha’s chopsticks froze.

“Tada—”

Jiang Ning waved her phone gleefully. “My takeout’s almost here~”

“Cough…”

Jiang Cha deflated, pitifully packing her food. “Order me some, please…”

“Fine…”

Jiang Ning lounged on the sofa, grabbing tangerines from the table, peeling them. Maybe her bad sister’s influence made her think… naughty things.

Especially

Since meeting the little succubus.

So pure, yet she was getting worse… even wanting to stuff the kid with tangerines…

“Ugh, no, too weird!”

Blushing, she ate the tangerines—sour-sweet… could’ve been sweeter…

“Wow, gotta stop!”

She hugged a cushion, questioning life. Was she… too lewd for a high schooler?

Pfft… web novels ruin people!

She’d read proper ones next time. Anyway, it’s all “Bounce Bounce’s” fault—not hers.

She checked the time.

6:30 p.m. An hour and a half till her dream date with the kid—so exciting.

“Bath first!”

Checking her delivery order—she’d ordered after tasting Jiang Cha’s food. Why her dumb sister suddenly loved cooking…

In the bathroom,

A huge tub, big enough for her and the kid. Jiang Ning felt a spark of anticipation.

“Maybe try it sometime?”

“But… what excuse?” Her eyes lit up, recalling tugging Su Xi’s tail extra times, triggering that sweet scent.

“Hmph…” So exciting.

…

Sometimes, Jiang Cha wondered if she was too nice to Jiang Ning. Sisters were supposed to be bullied…

Yet she was the one bullied.

“Or maybe…”

“Pfft, forget it.” She sighed—couldn’t be tough on her sister. But her naughty ideas? Perfect for the soft succubus!

Luo Su: “???”

“Mhm…”

Jiang Ning grabbed a nightgown, heading for a bath. Important business tonight.

“Dinner…”

“Can be tonight too!”

But important stuff was fleeting, sometimes absent. Gotta bring the kid home.

“How, though?”

Humming cheerfully, Jiang Cha entered her room, shedding clothes. In the light, her figure was perfect—not an ounce off.

She wasn’t bad either!

Twirling before the mirror, her assets outshone four little ones… For a succubus,

Wasn’t Su Xi too “poor”?

“But…”

“So cute, for real.”

Blushing, some thoughts stirred her—was this love? So exciting.

Beep beep…

Her phone rang. Jiang Cha snapped back, annoyed. “Who calls now…”

“Daughter.”

Her dad’s robust voice boomed. “What’s up?” Jiang Cha sighed.

“Just… in a bit,”

He said vaguely, “I’ll come see you two…”

“Come then…”

Jiang Cha leaned on the bed, propping her cheek. “Don’t flake like last time.”

“No… no way,”

He hesitated. “Last time wasn’t…”

“Better not.” Jiang Cha cut him off. If he didn’t want to say, she didn’t care…

“Mhm.” He paused long.

Then mumbled, “Um, daughter, I got some kidney supplements… when can I meet your boyfriend?”

Jiang Cha: “???”

What boyfriend? She didn’t even know! She pouted, staring skyward. “Where’d you hear that rumor?”

“Then why kidney supplements?”

“For Jiang Ning, duh.”

“What?!”

“Hanging up.” Jiang Cha covered her ears.

“Wait—”

Pfft… they’d reconciled, but years of absence left resentment. Would a guy who stayed away five years care?

Staring at the ended call,

Her chest tightened. After a moment, she grabbed her clothes, heading to the bathroom. Caring or not, at least he might show up.

A breeze stirred.

Through the glass, the pothos on the sill trembled inexplicably.

…

…

Gulp… want monthly votes.
