Chapter 68: A Fruitful Fumble and a Drunken Dilemma
“Kid?”
The driver peeked through the rearview mirror, eyeing the cute little figure. Chuckling, “Sure you don’t need family to pick you up? You can use my phone.”
“No need…”
Luo Su huffed, turning her head. “And I’m almost an adult, not a kid!”
“Alright, alright…”
The driver laughed. “Walk safe, don’t forget anything.” “Mhm!” Luo Su nodded, double-checking the backseat.
“I’m off!”
“Be careful,” the driver said, lowering the window. “It’s late, head home earlier next time!”
“Okay…”
Head down, she wondered, “Do I really look that young?” But the driver was nice—no way to be mad.
“Ugh…”
Hugging a big bag of fruit, she wobbled along the community path. At 8 p.m., the neighborhood glowed, residents strolling leisurely.
“Wah! A swing!”
Her eyes sparkled, but her hands were full—never sat on a real swing, only seen them on TV. Wanna try.
“Mmm…”
A shiver hit, her tail twitching. Maybe from the hot bath, it felt itchy, all tangled…
Hurry back!
One hand clutching the slipping fruit bag, the other taming her fussy tail, she stumbled to Jiang Ning’s door.
“Haa…”
Face flushed, she swore—never mess with those disobedient wings again!
Otherwise…
This succubus would go haywire! It’d been ages since the bath, yet that weird feeling returned!
Tap, tap, tap…
Leaning limply against the door, she knocked feebly. Hands red, no response—nobody home?
“Ugh…”
Sliding to the ground, fruit bag thudding aside, her naughty tail’s heart glowed annoyingly.
“Not here!”
Hugging her bag tighter, teary, she knocked again. Only one thought: get in, lock the bathroom door!
“…”
No answer. Tiptoeing, she noticed a keypad lock.
“Ugh…!”
Biting her lip, heart racing, she nervously tried Jiang Ning’s PC password.
Click.
It opened! Guilty, she peeked through a crack. Living room lit, no Jiang Cha…
“Ugh… is this breaking in?”
Nibbling her finger, torn between entering and hesitating, she finally called softly, “Jiang… Jiang Cha?”
“…”
No reply. Unable to wait, she grabbed the fruit bag and slipped inside.
“Ugh…”
Shaking, her wings and tail poofed free. Exhaling, “Finally comfy…”
But… where’s Jiang Cha?
Tilting her head, she washed two big apples in the kitchen, placing them on the living room table.
“Hmph!”
Tail swishing smugly—official visit! No breaking in, no jail!
“Ugh…”
Sitting on the sofa, hugging her tail, she thought—her and the bad girls were cool, but their neighbors didn’t know!
If they asked a neighbor to watch the door…
She’d be doomed! Wait, a phone! This dizzy succubus remembered human tech!
Ding ding!
Ringing came from the balcony. Blinking, she wandered over. Did the bad girl lock herself out?
So dumb…
Grinning, she pushed the door. “Not locked!” Peering out, she saw Jiang Cha on a big swing, swaying gently.
“Ugh…”
Poking her palm, Luo Su huffed, “Why didn’t you open the door!” “…” No reply. Climbing up, she saw empty bottles everywhere.
“!!!”
Pressing her ear to Jiang Cha’s chest, past the soft layer, a heartbeat thumped.
Good, she’s fine.
But… why so much booze? Was Jiang Cha really upset? Drinking alone at night, she’d catch a cold!
“Awake?”
Struggling to prop Jiang Cha, eyeing her faintly glowing tail, “I-I’ll get you to your room!”
“Mmm…”
Jiang Cha mumbled, face oddly flushed, eyes closed—clearly bad with liquor, yet overdrinking!
“Ugh…”
Using hands, tail, and magic, Luo Su dragged her to the sofa, collapsing. “So heavy…”
Cough cough!
Before resting, Jiang Cha rolled, coughing hard. Startled, Luo Su grabbed hot water from the kitchen. “D-drink?”
No response.
“Ugh…”
Luo Su fumed. Knowing Jiang Ning’s gone, she drank this much? If I wasn’t here, she’d be sick!
Mad as she was…
She gently lifted Jiang Cha’s head, tail curling the cup, feeding her water bit by bit.
“Ugh…”
After sips, Jiang Cha looked better, murmuring, “Su Xi?”
“Yup, me!”
Nodding quickly, “You okay? Still bad? Need a doctor?”
“…”
Pouting, Luo Su stood to grab ice—second time sick?
“Wah!”
Shivering, teary, she turned—Jiang Cha grabbed her tail.
“Let go!”
Shaking her gently, Jiang Cha coughed again. “…” Luo Su froze.
“Ugh…”
Covering her half-exposed tail, she squatted pitifully. “Bad girl, even asleep, still a jerk…”
