Chapter 472. Badminton
“Ning Chu! Did you see my dunk just now? It was super cool!”
Yan Xinya, dressed in loose basketball attire, hurried over to Ning Chu and Lily, practically vibrating with excitement.
However, her sweaty body earned her a disdainful look from the two succubi. Ning Chu quickly shoved away her face that was trying to get too close, frowning as she urged her away, “Go away, go away, you smell like sweat!”
“It’s fragrant! Don’t believe me? Smell it!”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
“I just saw you looking utterly entranced next to Wen Yang!”
Ning Chu’s lips twitched, a sense of shame bubbling up, but her dignity was long shattered. She forced a calm expression and defended herself, “I’m a succubus; it’s a normal physiological response.”
“Do you get stuck in place when you smell a man? Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”
“I’m not trying to get close to other men.”
She didn’t want to discuss such topics in public, so she countered, “Why did you come off the court? Isn’t the game still going on?”
“I’m just too strong~ Let the substitutes get some practice!”
The men’s basketball game was somewhat normal, but the girls’ side was filled with “monsters and demons.”
Ning Chu glanced over there, her view crossing a crowd of onlookers as various humanoid creatures ran around the court, with the ordinary girls in both teams barely adding up to five.
When it came to sports, these humanoid beings indeed had the advantage and attracted more spectators.
Unfortunately, she was a succubus, and all her skill points had gone into the bedroom.
“By the way! I’ve booked the hot springs for May Day!” Yan Xinya, still dripping sweat, leaned against the two succubi. “I did some online searching, there’s a hot springs club not far from Lily’s house—we’re going there!”
“Club…”
The mention of that made Ning Chu’s mind drift inappropriately.
“Yeah! That club’s hot springs can be reserved, there are discounts at night, and they have a buffet~” The wolf girl turned to Lily, “If it’s a mixed-gender hot spring, I worry Lily might be too shy to go.”
“Right, is Shao Qing going?”
“If Qian Qian’s going, then Shao Qing will definitely go too~”
Ning Chu had intended to ask about the price, but upon hearing Yan Xinya’s answer, she lost interest in the price list.
Her beloved rich roommate would be treating them~
The smartest thing she did while writing her little royal romance was establishing the villain as a rich and generous second-generation wealthy kid!
However, from the succubus’s point of view, the exaggerated displays attributed to the male protagonist also seem to benefit her in the current moment…
“So how many people are coming? Does Lily’s house have enough space?”
Yan Xinya counted on her fingers, “Us three, plus Wen Yang, Shao Qing, Qian Qian… and Qian Qian, a total of seven people!”
“If two people share a room, it should be enough,” Lily replied. “The men will sleep in the living room.”
“If it really doesn’t fit, we can sleep on the living room floor—it’s fine! After all, Lily’s living room is so big.”
“Being rich is so nice~”
Ning Chu recalled her pitiful two-bedroom home and her brother who had to sleep on the floor for a week during the New Year.
“Have you prepared your swimsuits?”
At Yan Xinya’s question, she looked down and pulled out her phone, opening her shopping cart: “Do you think this one is okay?”
“Let me see~ No way! It’s too conservative! It looks like something a woman in her forties would wear; you’re a succubus!”
“Uh…”
Swimsuits shouldn’t be so conservative, right?
Though indeed, the floral bikini in Ning Chu’s cart did look a bit outdated.
“How about a ‘dead pool’ style!”
“We’re going to a hot spring, not swimming.”
On this front, girls were indeed a bit more complicated.
If she were still a guy, Ning Chu wouldn’t even need to buy a swimsuit; whether at the beach or the hot springs, she’d just jump in wearing shorts.
She turned to Lily, also a succubus, and wanted to see what kind of swimsuit she chose.
Though she didn’t speak, Lily understood her intent and pulled out her phone to show her the order.
It was a three-piece swimsuit that would certainly create a deep V when worn, with only two simple pieces of fabric covering the critical areas.
“This is practically underwear… I thought you’d buy something more conservative.”
Ning Chu turned away awkwardly, unable to accept such a swimsuit.
“Lily’s bought it, what are you afraid of?”
“True, true.”
“Anyway, it’s just girls! We see each other wearing underwear every day in the dorm!”
Though she acknowledged this, she still hadn’t lived in a girls’ dorm before, having once been a man, and couldn’t help but feel the embarrassment.
Fortunately, Qian Qian came back with milk tea.
“Lily! Milk tea!” This magical girl bounced over with a big bag of milk tea, beaming at the group. “Lily! Your cream cap!”
Without realizing it, Qian Qian had already become Lily’s little follower, trailing her everywhere and calling her ‘sister’ incessantly.
Ning Chu had no idea where Lily got such charm from.
She took the milk tea, eagerly anticipating the moment Lily’s image would crumble~
Just like the shocking, disbelieving expression on her mother’s face when she went from being a well-behaved son to a nightly party-loving succubus, the intense embarrassment still vivid in her mind.
It was time for Lily to feel something similar!
Ning Chu took a sip of tea, maliciously sizing up Lily, looking forward to the sight of Lily bursting with blush and rushing off to play with toys.
“What are you looking at me for?” Lily shot her a cold glance.
“Do you want to play badminton?”
Yan Xinya immediately raised her hand: “Let’s do it! Just right for four of us—2V2!”
Qian Qian looked at Lily with eager eyes, but there was a hint of hesitation on Lily’s face.
“Can Lily play badminton?” Ning Chu muttered, “You don’t seem like you have any athletic talent.”
Lily always walked the warm-up laps in gym class.
However, after Ning Chu said that, Lily’s hesitation vanished: “I can play.”
As two succubi, how could Ning Chu say she’s not athletic?!
“Let’s go, go, go! Xinya, go get the badminton rackets!”
Yan Xinya dashed off to the equipment room, while the other three made their way to the empty badminton court.
Ning Chu removed her jacket, revealing a wool sweater underneath, flexing her wrists and kicking her feet, fully prepared to crush Lily in badminton.
Though she hadn’t played for years, back in high school she was undefeated against her classmates!
Her smashes were something few could receive!
Looking at Lily, the girl hadn’t even taken off her coat, standing awkwardly by the bench.
“Lily, should we team up?” Qian Qian leaned over, eyes sparkling with admiration.
“In that case, we definitely lose…”
Lily was very self-aware. She glanced at the two who had stripped down and hesitated before finally shedding her sweatshirt and placing it on the bench.
Though her face was serious, her gaze kept drifting to her coat.
“I’m really good at badminton!” Qian Qian declared proudly, hands on her hips.
However, her height of around 1.5 meters didn’t quite lend much credibility.
