Duanmu Hui’s Greedy Appetite

Duanmu Hui was clearly greedy in this regard.

She devoured everything completely, leaving no trace, and then licked her lips, tilted her head, and flashed her signature defiant, charming expression.

Her flawlessly beautiful face was now flushed with a rosy hue, almost unnervingly delicate.

Fortunately, Chen Ran was used to seeing her like this.

As for what came next, well… although it was theoretically quite exhilarating, and indeed was quite stimulating, for some reason, Chen Ran just felt a bit bored.

Had it happened too many times already?

Like every Saturday, she would call him to a hotel in Xijing, or to her villa, or to a high-end apartment, and…

To Chen Ran, the current situation was no different from what had happened before.

Of course, it wasn’t exactly fair to say that, because Duanmu Hui’s gym shorts were undoubtedly quite… unique.

Chen Ran could only describe them as such.

In that moment, he seemed to understand just how ‘fatal’ the appeal of a uniform could be to a girl’s allure—it was indeed quite deadly.

Chen Ran felt that even though his mind was still criticizing Duanmu Hui, his body was already unconsciously cooperating with her.

Just like every other Saturday, Duanmu Hui would start things off, but soon she would tire and become a soft, adorable little creature, collapsing into his arms.

Then it would be his turn.

And as Chen Ran drifted in this sweet daze, he still couldn’t help but think about something he had seen earlier.

It was the tail behind the girl.

Was it real?

But the problem was, whenever Chen Ran focused his energy until the end, rested for a long time, and finally gathered his thoughts to carefully look at Duanmu Hui’s back, he saw nothing of the thin, long tail with a heart-shaped tip that he had glimpsed before.

Had he been mistaken?

Or was it that, due to his lack of understanding of Duanmu Hui, he had mistaken her for a succubus in a moment of confusion?

Chen Ran was puzzled.

Duanmu Hui simply curled up in his arms, resting for a bit, then got up and left his side.

Without a word, she walked to the changing room, not even closing the door, and stripped off her gym shorts, which were almost completely torn, and put them into her own bag.

She then entered the bathroom in the changing room, completely naked, and took a shower.

After about ten minutes, Duanmu Hui came out, put on her school uniform, and when she returned to him, she spoke calmly.

“Go take a shower.”

The girl seemed to be leaving.

“I’m going out first.”

She picked up her bag, opened the dance studio door, and left.

Chen Ran glanced at his phone; it was 2:45, and school would be letting out in about ten minutes.

He watched Duanmu Hui’s departing back, irritably calling out, “Can’t you stay for a few minutes and listen to what I have to say?”

“?”

The girl paused for a moment, then… sped up, quickly running away, disappearing down the hallway, no matter how much he called out to her.

Damn, she must be taking advantage of the fact that he can’t chase after her right now! Chen Ran realized that while his body was strong, the parts that needed to recover were still weak.

Like now, his legs were a bit wobbly, making it hard to even stand up.

Communication had failed again.

Chen Ran didn’t know what was going through Duanmu Hui’s mind, so he hurried to the changing room to take a shower, lest he be trapped there by the dance club members after school.

****

After school, Chen Ran took the subway back to his family’s convenience store, then prepared to go to Xijing with Jiang Zilin.

This was because Jiang Zilin’s online friend was having a birthday soon, so she wanted to buy a gift for her.

“Is it a friend that Sister Zilin often chats with?”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

In the convenience store, Jiang Zilin was still acting suspiciously, wearing a large sweater and work pants, with a hat, mask, and sunglasses, looking furtive.

Seeing this, Chen Ran wondered if even a national idol like Duanmu Hui would cover herself up as much as Jiang Zilin did when going out.

“Does Sister Zilin have a lot of online friends?”

“Not really, just a few who chat regularly in the group.”

The woman spoke softly.

“Since we don’t know each other in real life, there’s no need to worry about privacy, so we can speak freely, that’s just how the internet is.”

“For example!”

“This person who’s having a birthday says she’s a succubus.”

???

Hearing this, Chen Ran was taken aback.

“She says her mom is a succubus and had her with a human, but her parents are the kind who don’t care about their family, her mom flirts with all sorts of men, and her dad is never home, so she grew up in that kind of family.”

“Because her parents are heartless and uncaring, she decided to become a deep, loving person… or rather, a succubus, isn’t that strange?”

Hearing this, Chen Ran nodded and said, “Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Not at all, growing up in that kind of family, she doesn’t know what emotions are, whether it’s family love, romantic love, or even friendship, she’s never experienced any of it, she just mimics what others do.”

“How do you know this, Sister Zilin?”

“Because we’ve talked deeply about it, she doesn’t feel anything when watching movies, news, or novels, even if everyone else is crying over scenes of family, romance, or friendship, she feels nothing.”

Jiang Zilin sighed, as if lamenting the misfortune of a girl who claimed to be a ‘succubus’ online.

“Poor thing, she can’t feel any emotions, so she can’t give any to others either.”

“But!!!”

Suddenly, changing the subject, Jiang Zilin angrily said, “Even a girl like that has a boyfriend! Why, why does she have a boyfriend, but I don’t, huh?! Small Ran?!”

“Why are you looking at me?”

Chen Ran was already used to Jiang Zilin’s sudden mood swings, turning a serious topic into something almost comical.

Under the mask, her round, chubby face was puffed up with anger, and Chen Ran could already predict that the next thing she would say would be “I hate you, Small Ran! Hate, hate, hate!”

So, before that,

Chen Ran knew how to make her change her mind again.

So, he softly pulled her hand and whispered in her ear, “Then I’ll pretend to be your boyfriend today, so you have a little boyfriend too, right?”

“!!!”
