Trapped in Paradise (In a Hentai World, as a Trap)-Chapter 339
Ning Chu’s shame was about to explode!
She had clearly tried her best to control her voice last night, yet she still ended up disturbing the neighbors—
And her mother found out!
Well… there are more embarrassing stories out there anyway~
She’d seen posts online about some tomgirl once spent New Year’s Eve in the living room, dressed in women’s clothes, playing with a
very large toy
, and then the door was suddenly opened—
In walked a group of visiting relatives, laughing and chatting…
Compared to that, what happened to her was nothing.
Still, no matter how hard she tried to convince herself, her flushed, burning cheeks refused to cool down. Ning Chu let out a wail, flopped onto her bed, and rolled around in shame.
“Ahhh~ I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die!”
Now, every time she saw her mother, she felt like her mother’s eyes carried endless teasing and oddness—
It’s as if they were silently saying,
“How on earth did I give birth to a son like you?”
No! This was all because her mother was a succubus!
With a sorrowful sigh, she collapsed face-first into the covers and stayed there for a long while without moving.
“Sis?”
Black Bean, woken up by her constant rolling, tilted his head in confusion at his sister’s strange behavior. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you rolling around like that first thing in the morning.”
“Nothing.”
Black Bean’s nose twitched—only for Ning Chu to quickly cover it. “Don’t sniff around!”
“Oh~”
Feeling a little wronged, Black Bean rolled over and stretched with a huge yawn.
“Ning Xin! Wash up and eat breakfast—it’s time for school!”
“Coming!”
Hearing their mother’s voice from outside, Black Bean bounced out of bed and dashed away noisily, leaving Ning Chu still lying there.
She couldn’t go on like this!
She really needed to rein in her succubus instincts, or it wouldn’t be long before her shame was ground into dust.
Good thing she was going to Lily’s in a couple of days. At least then she wouldn’t impulsively sneak out in the middle of the night to climb into Wen Yang’s bed like she had yesterday.
“I’m getting more and more degenerate~”
It was only the second day, yet it felt like something deep in her bones had been awakened.
The taste of those two experiences lingered in her mind—they were sweet and addictive.
She was a succubus now, sure, but a few months ago she had still been a man!
She sighed again, only to hear Black Bean’s excited voice from outside:
“Dad! What yummy things did you bring me this time?”
Dad?
Ning Chu froze for a moment, then remembered—it was her mother’s boyfriend, that uncle.
And her mother still dared to lecture her~ Hah, bet she’d be sneaking out tonight herself.
She wondered if she should retaliate, but “mutually assured destruction” between mother and daughter usually ended with her getting smacked. So she kept the thought to herself.
“Ning Chu.”
The door opened, and her mother walked in carrying a small white handbag. Her smile was especially gentle.
“Uncle bought this for you.”
“Huh?” Ning Chu looked up in surprise.
Whenever that uncle was around, her mother seemed more feminine—every gesture carried a touch of elegant charm. She sat on the edge of the bed and handed the handbag to her daughter with a smile.
“Looks nice, right? Uncle noticed you didn’t even have a bag when you went out, so he thought it’d be inconvenient.”
“I actually have one… I just didn’t bring it back.”
Muttering, Ning Chu sat up and took the bag, examining it. “I probably shouldn’t accept gifts from him… But yeah, it’s pretty nice…”
It felt like leather. The little white handbag was compact—barely bigger than a regular wallet—and could probably only fit some small odds and ends.
“It’s fine, just keep it,” her mother said with a smile, ruffling Ning Chu’s hair. “It was actually picked out by Uncle’s daughter~”
“Huh?”
So the uncle was a divorced dad too?
Ning Chu blinked, curiosity sparking. “Have you met her?”
“No,” her mother shook her head. “She’s a third-year college student, preparing for grad school. She stays home and never comes out.”
“Oh~ Mom, when are you planning to marry Uncle?”
Ning Chu's mother's smile faltered. Seeing her daughter’s curious yet slightly teasing look, she casually brushed a lock of hair behind her ear and turned her head.
“Why get married? At our age, married or not—it’s all the same.”
She’s totally embarrassed!
Ning Chu caught the faint blush on her mother’s face and asked, “Then when are you going to divorce him?”
Her mother and that runaway father of hers still hadn’t finalized their divorce.
“That man’s never coming back—how am I supposed to divorce him?”
“File for divorce! He’s been gone for years, the court will definitely grant it.”
Her mother gave a thoughtful nod. “We’ll see. It’s almost New Year, I don’t have time to deal with that right now.”
“I’ll take Ning Xin to class!”
A booming voice from outside startled Ning Chu so much she flinched. Her mother stood up and gracefully walked out of the bedroom.
“Drive carefully.”
“Mm.”
“What do you want for lunch? Me and Ning Chu are going grocery shopping.”
“???”
From where she was peeking her head out of the bedroom, Ning Chu was full of question marks.
When had she ever said she’d go grocery shopping with her mother?
Her mother stood on the carpet at the doorway, watching as the uncle and Ning Xin disappeared into the elevator. Then she turned her head and spotted a small head poking out from the guest room.
“Mom, I never said I’d go grocery shopping with you. I was planning on catching up on sleep~”
“You really think you could fall asleep right now?” Ning Chu mother gave her a skeptical look. “What’s wrong with helping me carry a few things? Isn’t your boyfriend coming over for dinner tonight? Let’s buy some things Wen Yang likes.”
That gave Ning Chu some motivation to go out.
Sure, Wen Yang was strong enough to not need any kind of
supplement
, but if she could leech off her mom’s shopping trip and get him some good food, why not?
“Alright, wait for me! I just need to put on socks!”
The nearest wet market was still about a thirty-minute walk from their neighborhood.
Once they were downstairs, Ning Chu found herself walking stiffly with her mother’s arm hooked through hers.
It was fine when she was alone… but now, walking side-by-side with her mother, with all of the neighbors were seeing them…
“Ah Juan! Who’s this?”
Even worse—her mother stopped to chat with a familiar neighborhood auntie.
“My daughter~ Pretty, isn’t she?”
“When did you get such a grown-up daughter? Hey, what about your boy? Shouldn’t he be home for winter break too?”
Ning Juan shot her daughter a sidelong glance, while Ning Chu could only roll her eyes in resignation.
“He’s out doing work-study. He won’t be home for the New Year.”
At least her mother knew to save her some face outside.
Ning Chu let out a quiet sigh of relief—
But almost immediately tensed up again when she saw a man walking in through the neighborhood gate.
Her body reacted on instinct—she tightened her grip on her mother’s arm and quickly lowered her head.
“Isn’t that the kid you grew up with?” Ning Juan asked curiously. “Didn’t you say he joined the army? Looks like he’s back.”
“Mm… He said he wanted to hang out before, but I made up an excuse to decline.”
Head still lowered, Ning Chu held her breath as they passed each other.
Fortunately, he didn’t recognize her.
“You can’t keep this up. You’re just going to pretend you don’t know your old friends?”
“I’d rather pretend. Things are fine the way they are…”
After starting university, she’d barely kept in touch with her old friends and classmates anyway—at most, they exchanged a few words online every now and then.
But the fact that her old male self had abandoned his old social circle still left Ning Chu with a faint sense of sadness.
Her old masculine face had grown blurry in her mind—she could no longer recall the details.
That former life and her current one felt like two entirely separate worlds, the connection between them as hazy and unreal as a mirage.
