“W-what… what’s possible?” Chu Xin struggled to suppress the heat surging within him, instinctively gasping for air. He dared not move, fearing that the slightest shift would unleash the fervent desire he was trying to contain.
Quan Zhu Meng smiled, her gaze fixed on Chu Xin. “Oh, really, do you want Auntie to spell it out? How embarrassing. Of course, it’s something that would make us both happy…”
She slowly lowered her dress to her waist.
Catching a glimpse of her maddeningly alluring waistline, Chu Xin immediately shut his eyes, his body rigid.
The room fell silent, save for Chu Xin’s faint, ragged breaths.
Once the sounds ceased, a distinct, mature feminine fragrance, mingled with an indescribable, intoxicating scent, surged into Chu Xin’s mind. He knew Quan Zhu Meng had drawn closer.
She then gently blew into Chu Xin’s ear.
Chu Xin’s face instantly flushed crimson. His body stiffened as if struck by lightning, tingling all over.
“Heh, Little Chu’s ears are quite sensitive, aren’t they? How about Auntie gives them a little taste?”
With his eyes tightly shut, Chu Xin spoke in a voice that trembled. “Auntie Quan… this… this isn’t right.”
His words met no reply. Only the lingering fragrance still enveloped him.
Chu Xin waited in silence for a moment. When the anticipated warm touch didn’t come, he opened his eyes just a slit.
He had intended to see what Quan Zhu Meng was doing, but instead found her, still in her sports bra, watching him and trying to suppress her laughter.
The moment Chu Xin’s eyes opened and he noticed her, Quan Zhu Meng could no longer hold back. She burst into boisterous laughter, shaking with mirth. “Hahahahaha, I can’t, Little Chu, your reaction is too amusing… Hahahahaha…”
Hearing her words, Chu Xin was utterly bewildered. Unable to grasp the situation, he simply stared blankly at Quan Zhu Meng.
The heat that had consumed him also vanished with Quan Zhu Meng’s booming laughter.
Seeing Chu Xin’s dazed expression, Quan Zhu Meng appeared delighted. She sat beside him and patted his shoulder. “My apologies, Little Chu, you were just too entertaining, so I wanted to tease you a bit. But… judging by your look, you seemed rather expectant. Shall Auntie really go through with it?”
Chu Xin immediately stood up, retreating a few steps. “Auntie Quan, you!” he exclaimed, a hint of indignation in his voice.
Only now did the realization hit him. ‘So, everything that just happened was merely a prank?’
Quan Zhu Meng clasped her hands together, offering an apologetic smile. “My apologies, apologies. Little Chu was just too amusing. Besides, you’ve been so distant with Auntie for a long time, so I thought this might be a way to deepen our bond.”
Leaning against the wall, Chu Xin actually laughed, exasperated. “Auntie Quan, are you truly not afraid I’d… take you seriously?”
“Ah… if you were serious, Auntie wouldn’t mind either~” Quan Zhu Meng reclined on the floor, smiling as she looked at Chu Xin.
Chu Xin felt his resolve deflate. He found himself at a loss for words, wondering if his earlier assumptions had all been wrong.
‘Was she truly just teasing him?’
‘No, no, no. Then what about the heat that had flared within him just moments ago?’
‘Its appearance was far too abnormal.’
He directly voiced his question. “Then… what was that sensation of heat I felt just now?”
Quan Zhu Meng adopted a thoughtful expression. “Hmm, perhaps Little Chu hasn’t relieved himself in a while? Or maybe Little Chu already harbored those kinds of feelings for Auntie. What a naughty boy~”
Chu Xin’s face darkened with exasperation. He turned to leave.
Quan Zhu Meng immediately grew anxious. She quickly stood up to block his path. “Alright, Auntie won’t tease you anymore.”
Chu Xin looked at Quan Zhu Meng with an expression that clearly asked, “Are you trying to fool a fool?”
Seeing Chu Xin’s look, Quan Zhu Meng pouted. She then walked over to the bookshelf, pulled out a thick, entirely English book, and, after feigning to flip through it, spoke. “Actually, it was psychological suggestion.”
“Psychological suggestion?”
“Yes, psychological suggestion. Actually, just now wasn’t only to deepen Auntie’s bond with Little Chu. It was also an experiment with a psychological suggestion technique I recently learned.
“By using a clean, sunless room, I made you psychologically perceive it as cold, even though the temperature wasn’t low at all. Then, with just the two of us alone in the room, and my saying how hot I felt, I implied you were experiencing heat for some special reason.”
Quan Zhu Meng explained, her gaze fixed on the book. Her figure, made even more apparent by the sports bra, combined with her naturally cool yet subtly gentle features, made her resemble an intellectual older sister from next door.
In truth, this person was utterly despicable, rotten to the core. To play such a joke for something so trivial was truly beyond the pale.
After hearing Quan Zhu Meng’s explanation, Chu Xin found it far too far-fetched. He also felt a surge of anger. “Just for something so trivial?”
“It’s not trivial at all! This is Auntie’s chance to reconcile with Little Chu, a very important matter. I just didn’t expect Little Chu to react so strongly.” Quan Zhu Meng pouted, feigning annoyance.
Chu Xin was speechless, yet suspicion still gnawed at him. ‘If the software on my phone wasn’t lying, she definitely has a secret. Even if her psychological suggestion was real, it could still be her innate ability.’
‘This world truly is… becoming increasingly strange.’
Quan Zhu Meng wasn’t one of the main heroines from the original story; instead, she resembled a legendary hidden character. Players had whispered about a succubus, a rumored conquerable character with a scorching figure and a distinct aura, unlike the other heroines or random NPCs.
However, it had only ever been a rumor. Even after unlocking all of Chu Xin’s CGs, he had never encountered such a character.
He let out a sigh. Glancing at Quan Zhu Meng, he saw an expression of such innocence. He found himself unable to press the matter further.
He stood up to take his leave. After unlocking the door, he turned back to look at Quan Zhu Meng. “Auntie Quan,” he began, “I’ve actually always wanted to ask you why you locked the room door from the inside.”
Quan Zhu Meng felt a flicker of guilt, yet she maintained her smiling facade. “Oh dear, isn’t Auntie just looking out for Little Chu’s reputation? Besides, that’s how the suggestion could succeed—it was a crucial step!”
Before Chu Xin could ask another question, Quan Zhu Meng quickly pushed him, ushering him out. “Alright, alright, Little Chu, you should get going. You have things to do, after all. Auntie won’t keep you for dinner. Do come by often to keep in touch and deepen our bond. Have a safe trip~”
After seeing Chu Xin off, Quan Zhu Meng locked the door. She leaned against it, appearing utterly exhausted.
A soft sigh escaped her lips.
‘She had almost lost control.’
As if by magic, she conjured the thick, entirely English book that had been on the bookshelf.
The cover read—[Psychological suggestion.]
‘I’m sorry, I made you reveal yourself prematurely.’
‘But there was no other way.’
‘After all, I couldn’t let Little Chu discover that I am… the legendary succubus.’
The next moment, a slender black tail emerged from her waist. A pair of demon wings, one black and one purple, unfurled from her back, and goat-like horns sprouted from her head. Her pupils transformed into heart shapes, and the air around her shimmered with a delicate pink hue.
This rendered her even more delectable and alluring. She was like a fruit that would burst with juice upon a single bite, leaving an endless aftertaste.
‘Today, I almost couldn’t hold back. It was a good thing I hurried Little Chu away first. Though seeing his shy expression nearly made me give in, thankfully, I managed to restrain myself at the last moment.’
‘Calm down, calm down. Don’t rush things. Little Chu definitely wouldn’t accept me as a succubus right now.’
‘But I’m truly so useless. Even as a succubus, I haven’t devoured a single man, and now, I have to rely on this spontaneously appearing “psychological suggestion” just to consume the first man I desire.’
‘Never mind, there’s always tomorrow. Besides, I don’t want to consume other men. And I want to give myself to him only when our feelings are mutual~’
‘When that time comes, anyone who hinders us will be utterly crushed~’
‘Fortunately, Little Chu doesn’t have a lover right now. There’s still plenty of time.’
‘So, for now, I’ll just have to resolve these lingering feelings by imagining Little Chu, and suppress them~’
