After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus

The little bird cherished her feathers very much, but she was too lazy to comb her hair, which Zhang Chen had made matted and damp with sweat.

It was very hot, and her body reeked of men's sweat, almost masking her own natural fragrance.

She sighed and then took off the stockings she had just put on.

She only wears it when Zhang Chen is around.

"Next time."

After a long pause, the mature woman finally answered the question from the others, and then idly folded the socks into a neat square.

"Wearing these socks in the summer is so uncomfortable."

"Why don't you just not wear it? Actually, you look good no matter what, right, Yinmeng?"

"He loves watching it."

“I don’t think he really likes watching it... he just likes the way the legs are touched…” Zhao Fangyi said bluntly.

"Haha~" Lin Yinmeng covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. "Indeed, he's always been like that."

"How lecherous!"

"Yinmeng, so they weren't hiding in this room just now...?"

"Hmm." Lin Yinmeng's voice sounded slightly forlorn.

"Aren't you angry at all? You've been with him all this time..."

“No.” Lin Yinmeng shook her head, her jade-like arms slightly bent as she gently stroked her shoulders. “He never belonged to me.”

"He didn't actually wrong me or anyone else. In the end, it was all our wishful thinking. To him, a monster is just a monster, nothing more."

"You don't think we're mutually in love, do you?" Lin Yinmeng smiled as she looked at the girl.

"Isn't that right?" Zhao Fangyi frowned. "Could he possibly force you..."

“No.” Lin Yinmeng’s tone gradually lowered. “It’s just that he has amnesia. He probably thinks he has wronged me or something... that’s why he’s close to me.”

"But in reality, it was just unrequited love on my part, and so was Li Yinuo's. Our waiting was less a thousand years of longing and more a thousand years of unrequited love."

"You know what... I absolutely hate being pinched and manipulated, I absolutely hate saying those lewd and flirtatious things, I absolutely hate..."

"I'm a bird, a monster he'll never acknowledge. Even with a human body, I still can't adapt..."

Lin Yinmeng gently rubbed her body, her eyes revealing indescribable bitterness.

"That's something no monster could possibly withstand."

Is Li Yinuo thinking of Zhang Chen?

It's simply that the puppy is too afraid of pain.

"Then why do you still... I remember you used to be very quiet," Zhao Fangyi muttered, glancing at the clothes on the ground.

Once upon a time, Lin Yinmeng was a gentle and quiet older sister, and the songs she sang were all tender love songs.

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Yinmeng smiled softly.

"When you truly love someone, and then truly lose someone, and finally get them back... you will understand."

"Even if the price of becoming one with him is death, I will get close to him no matter what."

The mature woman suddenly straightened her back, narrowed her eyes slightly, and cleared her throat:

"...This kind of sex that transcends race and bloodline is an act that cannot be spoken when love reaches its extreme."

"Words and language can never fully express how much I love him; I can only express my love through primal impulses... Is it familial love? Romantic love? Or obsession? It doesn't matter anymore... I'm not a slave to desire; intimacy with him only brings pain. Sex is an adjunct to love, but when it becomes pain, it's also love that comes from the bottom of my heart..."

"I don't want him to know I'm suffering, so I can only pretend to be happy, relying on this despicable desire to attract his meager affection..."

Even if this kind of love is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned, I'd rather be a moth drawn to the flame...

After hearing this, Zhao Fangyi fell silent.

"Impressive, right? I can't say that myself. It's from Li Yinuo's new book, but I memorized it after reading it once," Lin Yinmeng said cheerfully.

"You're all amazing," Zhao Fangyi said with a sudden realization, "...Does it really hurt that much?"

"Of course not~" Lin Yinmeng revealed a mischievous smile again, "Just trying to scare you, Xiaoyi. What if you climb into his bed when I'm not around?"

"Me?! That's impossible..."

"Who can say for sure about these things?" Lin Yinmeng rested her chin on her hand, feigning sadness, and said, "Xiaoyi, if I'm not here anymore someday, you have to take good care of him for me."

"Oh dear! Yinmeng! What discouraging things are you saying now? You know perfectly well that my mother just..."

"Sorry, sorry~ just kidding~" Lin Yinmeng laughed until tears streamed down her face. Just as she was about to rub them, a gust of wind blew through the doors and windows.

It also wiped away her tears.

The little bird paused for a moment, then half-squatted on the bed and looked up at the sky.

Fish-scale-like clouds gradually spread out, blocking the strong summer sun, and continued to intertwine in layers, forming thick, dark clouds.

"You're here too." Lin Yinmeng waved.

"Yinmeng, who are you talking to?"

“An old friend, um... a long time ago, when I flew to Lushan, she treated me to a rain shower, and I treated her to a snow shower.”

"Although I've never seen what she looks like, we can be considered kindred spirits, right?"

"people of the same taste?"

"Yes, liking the same person at the same time, that's called being a 'couple,' right?"

“Isn’t that a rival in love…” Zhao Fangyi said, shrugging.

"No, after all, no one can win his love."

Lin Yinmeng eagerly stretched her hand out the window, feeling the familiar breeze of the past, which seemed to carry a voice of doubt:

You said "see you another day," but when is "another day"?

The sound of rain also began.

...

The weather suddenly changed, and a torrential downpour began.

"Squeak! Arrogant humans! Only when they walk through the old alleys one day and think of the people from the past will they understand the weight and belated nature of regret!"

As Rat Boss followed Zhang Chen through the alley to the street, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Chen wiped the rain off his face and kicked it, causing the fat rat to writhe on the ground in pain.

Why do you keep going to the school all the time?

"Squeak! There's no end to learning! This mouse is here to learn!" the leader of the mice said, rubbing his butt.

"You think I don't know you're bringing home so many goods every few days? Tell me, and I'll be lenient with you if you confess."

"Squeak..." The fat rat slumped down. "It's a kind human, squeak, willing to offer me tribute, squeak. I refused, but the human offered just too much..."

Zhang Chen laughed in exasperation; this fat rat was trying to get iced tea from Jiang Rou again.

"Alright, I told you to find Shen Nianxi, but you're leading me to beg for food, aren't you?"

"Squeak! Aren't you making things difficult for me? My special ability to find food isn't for finding people! You should ask Sister Mianmian for help!"

"Sigh, what a waste of space." Zhang Chen sighed.

"Squeak! You only care about yourself! Look how miserable the people on the street are, getting soaked in the rain! Why don't you help them?" the fat rat retorted.

The rain was indeed heavy and sudden, and Zhang Chen was soaked to the bone.

Looking around, the torrential rain coincided with the evening rush hour, and the crowds on the street immediately scattered, complaining and their faces were darker than the clouds in the sky.

Amidst the sound of rain, car horns mingled with human voices, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

"I'm speechless. I just rented this suit... and I haven't even met the client yet..."

"Oh no, the takeout is all soaked, I'll have to pay compensation again... Sigh."

"Can't you drive?! Didn't you see how deep the puddle was? It splashed all over me!"

"This damn weather is so hot and humid! Damn, I woke up this afternoon drenched in sweat, the sheets were all limp, and my phone was burning hot and out of battery. I took a sip of room-temperature iced tea, and now I'm getting soaked in the rain!"

"Not bad, bro. I put iced tea next to my pillow, and when I woke up it was still hot. After taking a sip, I realized I had sleepwalked and peed in it."

"..."

Amidst the myriad aspects of life, Zhang Chen also spotted a familiar figure—Jiang Rou, with whom he had had a rather unpleasant encounter that morning.

"Ah, my book!"

The girl was soaked to the bone, and the book she had been holding was constantly getting wet. In a panic, she stuffed the book into her arms and tried to run across the road to get back to school.

But by this time, the streets were already in complete chaos. The streets near the university entrance, usually teeming with street vendors, were also bustling with elementary school students going to and from school during the evening rush hour, parents arriving before dawn to pick up their children, and office workers from all walks of life...

The intersection was completely blocked.

Just as Jiang Rou was about to jog out, she was nearly hit by a reckless electric scooter. Her fair arm was instantly scratched and stained red, with blood mixing with the rainwater.

The book she was holding so dearly fell to the ground and got completely soaked.

No one knows what grievances the girl suffered today, but tears started flowing as soon as she picked up the book.

"Squeak!"

The eldest rat was very loyal; upon seeing the benefactor he had finally found, he cried and immediately grabbed Zhang Chen's trouser leg, pleading:

"Boss! Help her out! Don't you love keeping mistresses? If you win her over, I'll never have to worry about iced tea again!"

Zhang Chen kicked the rat away. He genuinely intended to help, but he was the first to hear the monster's voice...

Suddenly, two stray dogs, one white and one black, darted out of the bushes and ran to the middle of the road, frolicking around.

The middle of the road was a heavily flooded area, and no one was venturing there.

The two stray dogs, covered in mud, were playing around in the puddles in a comical and carefree manner, creating a stark contrast with the resentful crowd around them.

The intersection had been blocked for a while, and everyone seemed to realize that there was nothing they could do about complaining. Their attention was drawn to the two dogs playing.

"Woof! Woof woof..."
