After I Pretended to Be a Succubus - Chapter 3

“Master?”

Pei Yu’s voice trembled.

“How long has this been going on?”

I stared blankly at his reddened eyes.

But with Gu Xian this drunk, I was afraid he would keep making a scene. I ignored Pei Yu and tried to leave.

Pei Yu still had my wrist in his grasp and refused to let go.

“Where are you going?”

“A hotel!” I snapped.

I thought that once Pei Yu knew I had somewhere to spend the night, he would stop pestering me to return to the dorm.

The pressure around my wrist loosened, then his hand slowly fell away.

I couldn’t understand why he looked so devastated. Dragging the drunk beside me, I hurried away.

Pei Yu was truly unbearable. Who would have thought he could be this annoying?

My roommates had said I was always clinging to him. What nonsense. I had actually thought Pei Yu and I were good friends!

So that was how everyone else saw us.

If only they could have seen Pei Yu just now. He was far more clingy than I had ever been.

I thought it had been a harmless prank.

I never expected Pei Yu to take it seriously.

When I returned to the dorm, no one was there. Only the rush of water came from the bathroom.

I sat silently at my desk, trying to think of how to phrase a request to my academic advisor for a room change.

The water stopped. The bathroom lock turned.

I looked over without thinking.

Pei Yu emerged wearing nothing but a towel. Damp black hair hung softly over his forehead, making his cold features look much gentler than usual.

I had to admit, his body was incredible: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and smooth, powerful lines of muscle.

When he saw me, he froze for several seconds. Then, blushing, he hesitantly approached.

I hurriedly looked away.

“Where are your horns? And your tail? Can you bring them out again?”

For a moment, I couldn’t process what he was saying.

Then I met the expectation in his eyes, and my mind went completely blank.

He really thought I was a succubus?

Pei Yu caught my wrist and guided my hand onto his hot, damp abs.

The muscles were both firm and faintly springy under my palm.

What the hell was he doing?

I stared at him with wide eyes.

Pei Yu lowered his gaze shyly, his entire face burning red.

“Does this… make you hungry?”

Hungry, my ass.

I bitterly regretted the nonsense I had spouted yesterday.

“Pei Yu, I’m not a succubus. How could you believe in something so unscientific that easily?”

I swallowed.

Pei Yu didn’t believe me at all.

Mistaking my unnatural reaction for proof that his seduction was working, he simply dragged my hand over every ridge of his abdomen.

His suppressed, ragged breathing filled my ears. It felt as if heat were pouring off his whole body.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.”

I was struck speechless by the earnest look in his eyes.

“So… could you stop going to other people? Let me feed you. Please?”

What kind of humiliating line was that?

My breathing went ragged, and my face burned as if I had a fever. Worse, he still had my hand trapped in his.

Pei Yu tightened his grip. No matter how I tugged, I couldn’t get free. I could only weep soundlessly inside.

How had things become this impossible?

Just then, my phone rang.

The sound was a lifeline. I could have cried with joy.

I answered at once, and Gu Xian’s voice came over the line.

“Little Feather, come out tonight! Your master will show you a good time!”

Silence swallowed the room.

I stole a glance at Pei Yu.

His face had gone livid, and his fingers tightened around my hand.

Damn Gu Xian. Everything he said sounded suggestive!

He was only taking me to a massage parlor, yet he made it sound like some illicit secret.

I gave an awkward laugh. The instant Pei Yu’s grip loosened, I yanked my hand back.

Well, if I had managed to disgust him, at least this hadn’t been a total loss.
