Trapped in Paradise-Chapter 48Vol 4. : Frequent Visitor

With Zhang Shaoqing now staying in Wen Yang's rental apartment, Ning Chu and Wen Yang would likely have to resort to hotel meet-ups from now on.

The couple's hotel wasn’t too expensive, about two hundred per night, but as students, they couldn’t afford to stay there every day.

For a succubus, intimacy could actually keep her feeling energized and refreshed, rather than drained and pale. But doing it too often wasn’t a good idea in the long run.

If this kept up, she’d end up just like one of those harem protagonists who can’t live without a man!

The time had come to curb her “indulgence” once and for all!

Yes, after today, this would be the last time!

"Mom..."

Early in the morning, as Ning Chu opened the door, she found her mother mopping the floor.

After all she’d been through, her sense of shame had dulled somewhat, and though her cheeks reddened slightly, her gaze was a bit evasive.

Her mother, too, was done with lectures. Leaning on the mop, she asked as usual, curious to hear what excuse her daughter would come up with today. “Where were you off to last night?”

"My friend came over, and Wen Yang and I took him out for a late-night snack. Yeah."

"And after midnight?"

"..."

Her mother shook her head, resigned. She understood her succubus daughter’s newfound curiosity but thought it was a bit too much.

“Mom, do you have time later?”

“What for?”

“Uh... I want to buy a new set of underwear.” Ning Chu glanced down at her chest in frustration. “The ones I ordered online are stuck at the delivery center for the holiday.”

She’d nearly reached the average succubus size, not far from Lily’s measurements, though she was still a bit smaller than her mother.

Thankfully, after hitting a C-cup, the swelling sensation had almost disappeared, which likely meant she’d reached the peak of her growth.

Standing at 160 cm, she just about managed to fill a C-cup.

Not exactly eye-popping by adult manga standards, but still impressive in real life.

Her waist and limbs were slender, so while she didn’t have a curvy figure, all her volume seemed to concentrate in her chest. This meant that even a slightly fitted top emphasized her shape, giving her a subtly sensual allure.

However, looser clothes only made her look bulky around the waist...

Fortunately, it was winter, and the heavy layers of her coat gave her a decent silhouette, though a bit puffed up.

“Sure, I have a favorite lingerie shop; I’ll take you there.”

Her mother agreed, passing the mop to Ning Chu with a sly smile. “After you finish the cleaning.”

“You’ll pay for it?”

“You’re buying underwear with my money?”

Feeling a bit wronged, Ning Chu muttered, “I’m broke~ and I’m even helping you clean...”

She’d already spent over two hundred the night before! Even though she could make a little from writing, she couldn’t keep up with these expenses.

If this continued, she’d end up like those couples at school... poor enough to, well, “take it outdoors.”

That absolutely could not happen!

Time to curb this habit! Seriously!

Her mother gave her a sidelong glance. “What did you spend it on?”

“Uh... you told me to be mindful of the noise to avoid complaints.”

Ning Chu lowered her head sheepishly, grabbing the mop and getting to work, trying to appear as focused as possible.

The bathroom door creaked open, and Ning Yuan, her brother, walked out, yawning. Seeing his sister doing housework, he was taken aback. “The sun must have risen in the west today.”

In front of her mother, Ning Chu was still the picture of meekness, but in front of her brother, she immediately put on a tough front, her tone righteous. “Mom has to do the cleaning every day. I feel bad for her!”

“Unlike you, who only knows how to sleep. Go roll up your bedding and put it away!”

Ning Yuan chuckled, bemused, crouching down to roll up his grass mat, mattress, and blanket, muttering under his breath, “Never saw you so eager to help before. I can barely get you to go downstairs to buy me a soda...”

But Ning Chu had indeed become more diligent this winter break.

When her mother cooked, she would hover around, helping with food prep and learning to cook. She’d even started doing little chores around the house, wiping tables, sweeping, hanging clothes to dry...

Was she already turning into the picture-perfect wife and mother?

Feeling mixed emotions, Ning Yuan put his rolled-up bedding against the wall.

Watching his little brother transform into this wifely figure was unsettling; the thought that he’d eventually be taking care of another man only made it worse.

He’d watched over his little brother all these years! Sure, he’d rough him up a few times and tease him now and then, but he’d never let Ning Chu suffer.

When Ning Chu was bullied at school as a child, he was always the first to jump in and get in a fight for him...

But now, his little brother had become his little sister, and in a couple of years, she’d be marrying off to someone else.

“Mom, do you think Brother might turn into a girl too?”

Ning Yuan snapped out of his thoughts, his irritation rising as he turned to see Ning Chu’s hopeful expression. “You just can’t stand to see me happy, can you?!”

“It’s just that you’re the only man in the family. It’d be more convenient if we were sisters~”

“Keep dreaming!”

Rolling his eyes, Ning Yuan flopped onto the couch, sprawling out like a king, showing no intention of helping with the cleaning.

“Not possible. Ning Chu’s situation is special, and her physical examination as a child already indicated it.” Her mother smiled as she wiped down the dining table. “If your brother wants to become a sister, it’d probably require surgery.”

“Cut?” Ning Yuan spat out, furious, “No way!”

He may still be a virgin with no “experience,” but he had no intention of losing his... equipment!

“Jeez~ why get so worked up over a joke~”

Back in her dorm days, Ning Chu used to sweep and mop, but those small dorm rooms didn’t take long. Their house was over 70 square meters, and by the time she was done mopping, she was nearly exhausted.

She still had to change to a dry cloth and mop again to prevent water damage on the wooden floor.

She groaned as she stretched, rubbing her aching back, only to hear her mother calling out, “Ning Chu, come over here.”

“Mom! Aren’t you pushing it?”

Barely seated for a second, she had to get up, dragging herself to the dining table. “What’s up?”

Her mother shot a glance at Ning Yuan on the couch, then pulled a card from her wallet and waved it in front of Ning Chu.

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

“A membership card!”

“Oh~”

Her mother lowered her voice. “At that one place, this card gives you a discount. Save a little money.”

“!!!”

“You can grab it from my wallet when you need it, just give them my phone number.”

They didn’t seem to push memberships at that hotel’s front desk... You must be a regular! A loyal customer, even!

Ning Chu’s eyes widened in surprise, though her delight quickly turned into silent resignation.

Happy about what, exactly? Curb it already!

“Got it.”

“Get ready; we’ll go buy the lingerie in a bit. Also, wake Hei Dou up. She needs a few sets too.”

“Does she really?”

While Hei Dou was technically in her teens, she was still as flat as a board.

“It’s for later. We’ll get her some small training bras.”

“What are those even for...”

Ning Chu mumbled to herself, but she quickly realized that even without a developed chest, she’d felt pain and discomfort from friction during her own growth spurt.

Back then, she’d had no guidance, stumbling through that awkward phase alone.
