After the succubus became a fake young master that everyone disliked - Chapter 35
[Mu Jingshan: The response is great so far.]
[Mu Jingshan: For some reason, Wen Yubai posted a Weibo subtly supporting you.]
[Mu Jingshan: Chi Jing! You’ve flipped your public opinion!!!]
Chi Jing tapped a few times on the screen.
[Chi Jing: Hmm.]
[Mu Jingshan: This variety show was worth it! Though it’s a shame we had to split some of the money with Longhuang Entertainment.]
[Chi Jing: Doesn’t matter.]
He didn’t care about the money, not now and not before.
He discreetly pushed away Jiang Yucheng’s hand, which had moved to his waist, and looked up at the big screen.
The part-time job segment on the second day after arriving in Country F was put into the VIP full version by the production team. As Chi Jing’s time drifted away while chatting, the progress bar of the variety show was almost at the end.
He turned to look at the others, including Lou Yiwen and Ou’er Bai, who were the best at managing their expressions and emotions, but even they were yawning.
When watching the show, the audience doesn’t know what happens next, so they watch with anticipation. But the participants, who already know the outcome, find this two-hour-long variety show like a lullaby.
As soon as the live broadcast ended, everyone tacitly got up and returned to their rooms.
Chi Jing returned to the small attic room, but when he saw the messy bed he had slept in earlier, he suddenly wasn’t in such a hurry to sleep.
“Why are you just standing there?” Jiang Yucheng had walked over at some point.
Chi Jing didn’t say anything but silently glanced at his bed.
He wasn’t suddenly wide awake; he just thought about how much he had sweated on the bed a few hours ago and wasn’t so keen on sleeping there again.
Jiang Yucheng said, “Come sleep in my bed.”
Chi Jing replied, “I’ll ask the staff for a new bedsheet.”
Jiang Yucheng asked, “But can you make the bed?”
This question was asked calmly, yet it made the atmosphere awkwardly quiet.
His expression froze, and his breathing slowed down.
He had to admit that Jiang Yucheng hit the nail on the head.
Even if he asked the staff for a new bedsheet, he didn’t know how to make the bed. Plus, he felt it would be impolite to ask the show’s staff for help. Filming a variety show abroad is a complex operation, and the production team couldn’t bring too many staff members. Every staff member was crucial to the show, and they couldn’t spare someone to help him make his bed.
So after a moment of silence, he gave in, turned around, and walked directly into Jiang Yucheng’s room.
Jiang Yucheng shook his head with a chuckle.
In the other small room in the attic, he lay on Jiang Yucheng’s bed with his legs up, his T-shirt slipping off one shoulder.
He only turned his head when he heard the door open behind him.
“Why did you take so long?”
“I washed your bedsheet.” Jiang Yucheng had already covered the camera in the room beforehand.
Chi Jing put down his phone and pounced on him, blocking his attempt to get on the bed.
“Wait, what are you doing?”
Jiang Yucheng: ?
He caught his body, calmly stating the obvious, “This is my room, my bed.”
Chi Jing: “But I’m not used to sleeping with someone else.”
Jiang Yucheng directly carried him to the bed, pulled up the blanket, and turned off the lights.
The room was instantly plunged into darkness.
Chi Jing was held tightly in his arms, all his movements restricted by the other’s grip.
Of course, he didn’t struggle much.
Because of the way they were positioned, it felt like he was lying on Jiang Yucheng’s chest.
He was getting sleepy, so he yawned.
The bat wings on his back were nearing full maturity, and when he slept, he liked to let his tail out from under his clothes. The more agitated he was, the faster his tail would whip around.
“Jiang Yucheng,” Chi Jing flicked the tip of his tail.
The tip of a succubus’s tail is covered in soft fuzz, making it very comfortable to touch.
His tail started flicking even more frequently, a sign that his mood wasn’t good—something Chi Yu would have guessed immediately if he were there.
Jiang Yucheng opened his eyes in the darkness.
He raised his hand to press down on his tail, which was being forcefully whipped against his waist, not gently at all.
After stopping the tail, he began stroking the soft fur at the tip of it, his voice deep and magnetic in the dark.
“I’m here.”
Chi Jing: “I think I’m about to enter my maturity phase.”
Jiang Yucheng’s hand abruptly stopped.
Chi Jing continued, “Today’s fever might be a sign of an impending heat period. Succubi don’t get sick because of the weather.”
For the first time, Jiang Yucheng was a bit flustered.
“But it’s filming time now.”
“So I’ll try to hold on.” He sounded quite despairing. “My maturity phase will last half a month to a month. I might have to miss the next episode’s filming.”
Jiang Yucheng said, “I’ll convince Director Lu Tao to postpone it.”
Chi Jing: “Really?”
Jiang Yucheng released his tail.
Succubi have excellent night vision, and Chi Jing, who grew up in the Dark Forest, had even better eyesight in the dark.
He could clearly see the momentary panic on Jiang Yucheng’s face.
Jiang Yucheng… was worried about him.
The realization made his whole body jolt. Since Chi Yu left his side, he hadn’t felt this emotion from anyone else.
In the cover of night, he stared at him without restraint.
A low chuckle sounded from above, and the chest he was leaning on trembled slightly with laughter.
Chi Jing: “What are you laughing at?”
Jiang Yucheng lifted the hand resting on his waist, and the next second, a warm palm covered Chi Jing’s eyes.
His vision was suddenly plunged into darkness again, just like when the lights were turned off earlier.
Jiang Yucheng’s voice was a bit hoarse: “Don’t stare at me.”
Chi Jing: “You can see?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he went silent.
Feeling the sudden rise in temperature next to his thigh, he froze for a long time.
“You’re *?” He asked, his tone full of disdain as he shifted to avoid the source of heat. “It’s really hot. You should go to the bathroom.”
Jiang Yucheng: …
In the end, he resigned himself to getting up and going to the bathroom to deal with his problem, while Chi Jing hugged the blanket and laughed uncontrollably.
Listening to the laughter coming from the room, Jiang Yucheng, who was taking a cold shower, let out a long sigh.
By the time Jiang Yucheng, still damp from his shower, got back into bed, Chi Jing was on a video call with Chi Yu.
Chi Yu had been persistently calling with video requests one after another. Chi Jing initially declined, but after refusing twice, he finally gave in to his persistence.
“Dad,” he raised his phone, “is something urgent?”
He emphasized the word “urgent,” but Chi Yu didn’t seem to notice.
“Jing, let Dad see your room.”
He flipped the camera and casually panned around the room.
He didn’t miss Jiang Yucheng, who had just come out of the bathroom.
Chi Yu’s tone instantly became much more surprised.
“Wow, Jing, are you already sleeping with your food… boyfriend?!”
Chi Jing: “No.”
Chi Yu continued on his own, “Come to think of it, Jing should be entering his maturity phase these days.”
As he spoke, he became even more excited: “Jing, do you know how a succubus feeds during their maturity phase? Do you need me to teach you?”
