The same familiar dusk, the same familiar sunset.

Only, the view inside Nainai’s place tonight was just a little bit different.

A tiny pink loli-demon was slumped at the head of the bed, staring blankly up at the ceiling, her eyes completely empty.

It was like some intense “exercise” had drained every last bit of strength from her body. Even those usually lazy, lively purple eyes had lost all their color…

At the corner of her peach-blossom, fox-like eyes, a single raindrop-like tear slowly welled up.

Pulled down by gravity, it slid along the Little Succubus’s slightly baby-fat, delicate cheek.

The oversized, thin white shirt on her body, far too big for her figure, had been soaked through by the fluids on her skin, clinging tightly to her sultry, bewitching, petite body.

It almost traced out every heart-stopping, tempting curve… highlighting every forbidden, blood-stirring rise and dip.

And her bare, snow-white, jade-smooth, soft thighs were just sprawled out limply on a bedsheet covered in filthy, indecent prints, completely unposed, open for anyone to look at.

The tiny beads of sweat gleaming on her skin made her childlike, pudding-soft flesh shine with a luster like priceless pearls.

Right now, Little Nainai looked just like some plaything that had been ravaged to the point of “do not touch”… like she’d already been totally broken.

But the truth was…

…

Why… is it like this…

Nainai’s heart was in pieces. She wanted to cry so badly.

For one reason and one reason only—the female technician standing in the corner of her room, on a stepladder, arms raised as she worked, sweating and completely focused.

Yeah. Female technician…

So why the hell did the one who showed up have to be a woman?!

Nainai howled inside, grieving and furious.

It wasn’t like she had prejudice against women working in repair or anything…

It was just, realistically speaking, most people doing this kind of job were men, right?

Right? Right?!

She’d already gone to all that trouble to get dressed, happily waiting for her “meal” to be delivered to her door…

Then when the technician arrived in the evening and she opened the door, the first thing she saw was that crisp ponytail swaying behind her head—and the impressive swell under that blue work uniform…

Yingsnow! I hate you!

Grinding her little teeth, Nainai wished with all her might that what she was biting right now was Xu Yingsnow’s ear.

Because without a doubt, the fact that the technician was a woman was definitely something Xu Yingsnow had requested.

Viewed another way, it was also… pretty normal.

If you were Xu Yingsnow, would you really feel safe letting this sultry, adorable, pheromones-off-the-charts Little Nainai stay alone in a room with some random man?

Obviously not.

Especially considering Nainai’s lifestyle habits.

As long as she wasn’t hungry enough to be forced to go outside, she was 100% naked at home.

If that were all, fine.

Even if, taking ten thousand steps back, Nainai actually put on clothes when seeing people…

Don’t forget: her entire place was full of all kinds of insane, filthy, unforgivable pervy junk.

With just that stuff alone, as long as he was a man with a functioning libido, there’s no way he wouldn’t get excited.

Not to mention the fact that Nainai’s room was filled with the scent from the Little Succubus’s delicate body, that sweet, young-peach, seductive, feminine fragrance…

Who could possibly resist that?!

Even if Nainai did have ways to protect herself, even if she also had that “Special Ability” that had never once been shown in this story…

What if? What if something still happened?

Then as Nainai’s supervisor and guardian at work, Xu Yingsnow would be done for.

She’d definitely lose her job, and she might even be facing jail time.

So when she contacted a household appliance repair service, Xu Yingsnow had specifically requested a “married woman with children.”

That way, Nainai’s pure safety would be as guaranteed as possible…

Tugging at the long, ill-fitting shirt on her, Nainai lowered her gaze, sadness thick in her eyes.

She clearly… she clearly had spent so much time getting ready…

As of last night, every last item that counted as “clothes she could wear outside”—outerwear, panties, socks—had been completely used up.

Logically, Nainai had no option left except going full nude.

But luckily, even though the clothes that belonged to her were all gone…

Her wardrobe still had one piece of clothing that didn’t belong to her.

It was a white women’s shirt, far too big for Nainai.

Obviously, it was Xu Yingsnow’s shirt.

Nainai had no idea when it had ended up stuffed in here… but whatever, at least it could still be worn.

So Nainai put it on.

With Nainai’s figure, the tall Xu Yingsnow’s shirt on her looked exactly like those “boyfriend shirts” online.

Long sleeves covering her small hands; the hem only just reaching the tops of her thighs; the wide neckline slipping to the side, exposing half of a smooth, delicate shoulder…

Once she put it on, the raw, in-your-face seductiveness all over Nainai’s body faded a little. Instead it turned into a frail, pitiful, pure softness that was even more lethal to men.

Like the sweet, innocent girl next door, practically begging to be turned into a crime.

Especially with that lazy air carried by her slightly lowered eyes; the peach-blossom allure lingering at the corners of her gaze; and the faint glimpse of pink silver-patterns under the shirt…

Who the hell could stand that?!

Not to mention, at the time, Nainai was completely commando underneath.

She had no panties left. What could she do?

But even for Nainai, she couldn’t just walk around in such pervy clothing, completely naked under it, in front of a stranger.

It was way too embarrassing, dame butso.

So, very considerately, she’d taken out a box of band-aids ❤~~

……

And all that preparation had been totally wasted.

The technician’s daughter was already in high school…

The woman herself was over forty. Her figure had started to plump out, and there were already small wrinkles at the corners of her face.

But from the lingering traces of her past charm, and the way her chest still absolutely dominated the field, you could tell she must’ve been a stunning beauty in her youth.

Now, though, her body was nearing menopause… a middle-aged woman with a stable family, she no longer had the energy or impulses of her younger days.

When she arrived, she really had been struck dumb for a moment by how cute Nainai was…

But that was just simple admiration and appreciation for something beautiful.

Expecting her to develop the same “I want to sleep with the Little Succubus” thoughts as Xu Yingsnow would’ve been asking a bit too much.

Of course, the disaster-level hygiene situation and utterly unpresentable pervy junk in Nainai’s room really did shock her.

She’d been on the job over twenty years… and she had never seen a home setup this bad.

But she was just a repair worker, and Nainai was the client.

What should be said and what shouldn’t, an experienced tech like her knew very clearly.

She was paid to do a job, that’s all. She just had to focus on finishing it…

Ka—beep beep beep—boom.

Whoooo—

A pro really was a pro. Solid as ever.

In just a short while, the AC that had been dead all afternoon started blowing out a steady stream of cool air again.

The poor old unit had only gotten a few hours of rest before being dragged back onto the front lines…

“All right, done. Just a supply issue, nothing serious.”

With her toolkit in hand, the female technician hopped neatly off the stepladder, explaining the AC’s problem in brief as she did.

“And there was quite a bit of dust in the filter. That’ll affect the heating, so I cleaned it out while I was at it.”

“I’ve gotta say, your AC is really pretty old. If it hasn’t had issues before and it’s only acting up now, you should keep an eye on it—there’ll probably be more problems later.”

“So if you want my recommendation, it’s best to swap it out for a new unit early and be done with it.”

“Otherwise, all the repair fees from now on… won’t be very cost-effective.”

As someone in the business, more jobs meant more money for her.

She could’ve kept her mouth shut about that.

But Nainai was just too adorable, so the technician kindly offered some honest advice.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you…”

What she said made sense… but that was assuming Nainai even had the money to buy a new AC.

The Little Succubus rubbed her temples in distress and asked in a soft voice,

“Then… how much is it in total?”

She was nervous, because this would decide how many more bricks she had to stack onto her mountain of debt.

“Oh, just a power issue, no big deal.”

“Let’s say a hundred and fifty yuan. Cash or QR code?”

The technician wiped the sweat from her forehead while smoothly packing up her tools.

That question stumped Nainai.

She had no cash, and nothing she could use to scan a code…

Right now, Nainai literally didn’t have a cent.

“Um… ma’am…”

Her cheeks turning slightly red, Nainai twisted the hem of her shirt, mumbling shyly,

“It’s just… the person who called you here… she didn’t pay you already…?”

“Oh, right, I remember now.”

The technician suddenly got it.

The young girl who’d called her out did say she’d be the one paying, and told the tech to contact her after the work was done.

“Mm, then it’s fine.”

She hefted the ladder with one hand, grabbed the toolbox with the other, and strode over to the front door.

“Take care, ma’am.”

Sitting on the bed, Nainai waved politely at the technician, who had already opened the door.

“Thanks for the business. Have a nice day.”

The technician smiled back and gave her a nod, then left quickly.

You could really tell she was a pro. No fuss, no dragging things out.

The cool air touching her skin chased the heat out of the room as the resurrected AC fought back the swelter.

One major problem directly tied to Nainai’s survival was now solved.

But…

What was she supposed to do tonight?

In the end, Nainai circled back to that same question.

It was the “special gift” her yesterday-self had left for her today-self.

But not knowing meant not knowing… how was she supposed to know how to recharge herself now?!

She couldn’t go to the West District… there was nothing in the East District… and after eight at night, there was a curfew…

Was she supposed to go out during the day and hope for a lucky break?

No. No way.

Never mind the blazing sun outside that felt like it was trying to bake the world dry…

Just those four words—“going out in daytime”—were enough to kill her.

She wasn’t going. Over her dead body.

Biting her red lower lip, Nainai very unwillingly turned her thoughts toward an option she didn’t even want to remember—

“If you’re hungry, you can come find me.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for you at the junkyard.”

Of course she’d heard what that man called Fusiming had said when they parted last night.

But she didn’t want to! She refused! She absolutely did not want to even consider—

Going to that man called Fusiming!!!

Nainai kept feeling that if she took the initiative to go to him, she’d be admitting defeat.

Even though she couldn’t quite say what, exactly, she’d be losing.

The frustration and resentment in her chest made her grit her teeth in hatred.

This kind of “choice with no choice” was shredding the last bits of her pride as a person.

She wouldn’t live by relying on anyone. She could survive on her own.

For twenty years now, Nainai had never gone back to “eat grass she’d already spat out.”

At first, it was just a precaution, a way to avoid getting dragged into trouble by some random accident...

But as time went by, day after day, that actually turned into a “rule” Nainai was secretly proud of.

Of course, this kind of sleazy “rule” that’s no different from “sleeping with a thousand people” or “ten thousand people” isn’t anything a normal girl would brag about.

But Nainai’s a Succubus, after all.

A Succubus has to act like a Succubus.

And as a Succubus who takes pride in herself, there’s no way she’d ever bow her head to “an old flame”!

No way!
