LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 271
Chapter 271: 270. What’s So Fun About That?
The wine tasted pretty good.
Not harsh at all, smooth with a rich fruit aroma and a faint alcohol flavor, it felt a bit like a drink.
Ning Chu had had wine before, but clearly, this bottle was of a higher quality than any she’d had.
It must be worth a few hundred or even a thousand, right?
Before she knew it, her cheeks were already flushed, and while eating takeout for dinner, she was a bit worried: “Lily, this bottle of wine is expensive, right? Is it okay for us to drink it?”
Lily shook her head: “It’s fine.”
“Well, that’s good…”
Feeling relieved, Ning Chu downed her glass of wine in one go and turned to Yan Xinya, only to see the girl leaning against the armrest of the sofa, looking dazed and about to fall asleep.
“Xinya is drunk.”
“I’m not drunk!”
She leaned forward, reaching out to push Yan Xinya: “Get up, go take a shower first before sleeping!”
“No way~”
The wolf girl wiggled her waist, her tail raised and swaying, as she cutely whined: “I don’t want to shower~”
“Then you can sleep on the sofa tonight.”
Ning Chu shot her an annoyed glance, then turned back to Lily asking, “The guest room isn’t ready yet, right?”
“Let’s sleep together.”
“……”
Although sleeping with more cute and soft girls wouldn’t be a problem, Ning Chu still felt a bit nervous.
When she first slept with Wen Yang, she was also worried about being too close, but with Lily, she was even shyer.
She had never slept with other girls her age before…
“I’m going to shower.”
“Mm.”
Seeing Lily leave, Ning Chu poured herself another glass of wine, leaning back on the sofa with her thighs elegantly crossed.
She gazed at the huge projection on the wall, looking towards the row of floor-to-ceiling windows and the starry city nightscape, pretending to be a domineering female CEO as she gently swirled her wine glass.
So nice~
So envious~
After a couple of minutes of self-indulgent posing, Ning Chu obediently continued her dinner, treating the wine like a beverage to accompany her meal.
“I suppose Wen Yang might become successful in the future, and be able to afford a nice house like this…”
Ning Chu mumbled softly, but then she saw Yan Xinya crawling over to her on all fours.
Looking down curiously, the wolf girl was kneeling beside her, staring intently: “When a man has money, he becomes bad~”
“This…”
“Really! My cousin’s husband was just like that! After starting a company, he found a mistress and ended up divorced!”
Couldn’t you not say that…
Ning Chu sighed softly, forcing herself to argue: “Wen Yang is different.”
“They’re all the same~”
“No, they aren’t!”
She shot a fierce glare at Yan Xinya.
Wen Yang was her carefully crafted male lead, okay!
He could only be hers!
“Hey~ Getting fierce over a man with your bestie…” Yan Xinya flopped back onto the sofa, her smile sweet, wriggling like a worm, “You’ve hit it again~”
“Crazy…”
This girl’s head must’ve been broken a long time ago, only thinking about shipping couples all day long.
“Still, real-life couples are better to ship~”
The wolf girl sighed in frustration, “There was this top-stream professional gamer who dated a cosplayer; I shipped them for half a year! And they broke up… it was so sweet back then~”
“Maybe you should think about your own single status?”
“Ugh~”
In just a few minutes of fussing around, Yan Xinya slumped over the sofa and fell asleep.
Ning Chu didn’t get a reply to her words, she reached over to grab a blanket and covered the wolf girl with it, then finished her last glass of wine.
Her head was feeling a bit fuzzy…
With blurred vision and a heavy body, she half-opened her dazed eyes, slumping back against the sofa in a daze.
Lily returned from her shower, wearing a spaghetti strap nightie, and reached over to close the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows with the remote.
She glanced at the snoring Yan Xinya, then looked up at Ning Chu and asked, “Are you going to shower?”
“Mm.”
Ning Chu stretched lazily, suddenly noticing something: “Did you not wash your hair?”
“Wash it every three days.”
“Isn’t that dirty?”
“……” Lily had no response, turning silently towards the bedroom.
You with short hair think you’re high maintenance, washing once a day.
“What about Xinya?”
“No need to worry.”
The sofa in the living room was big enough for the wolf girl to sleep on as a single bed, even though she might easily roll off when turning over.
Dressed neatly and covered with a blanket, with the night temperature around ten degrees, she was unlikely to catch a cold.
Ning Chu pressed her dizzy head, swaying her body as she followed Lily into the bedroom: “I didn’t bring sleepwear…”
“Wear mine.” Lily casually tossed a nightie from the wardrobe over to her.
“Okay.”
Lily’s bathroom was also quite spacious, with a wet-dry separation and a huge bathtub. Ning Chu couldn’t help but look longingly at the tub, but in her current tipsy state, she worried she’d fall asleep while soaking.
Opening the cabinet above the sink looking for a new toothbrush and towel, she froze.
Every time one randomly opens a cabinet in Lily’s house, there’s a new surprise waiting~
That’s a scary lifelike toy!
Do parents really play like this when they’re away?
No wonder she’s a succubus!
Ning Chu calmly closed the cabinet door. Although it looked frightening, it was still a bit smaller compared to Wen Yang.
She didn’t dare continue rummaging, fearing she might find more toys, and called out towards the bedroom: “Lily! Do you have a toothbrush and towel?”
“Yeah!”
Moments later, Lily rushed over, glancing nervously at the cabinet Ning Chu had opened, and squatted down to grab a brand new toothbrush and towel from the drawer below.
She still looked uneasy, reminding her: “Hurry and sleep after showering, I’m sleepy.”
“Mm.”
Even though Lily played a lot, among the succubus crowd, she seemed particularly innocent, unlike those throwing silver parties and having group activities~
After showering and putting on the nightgown, Ning Chu realized something was off.
She looked down, tugged at the hem of her spaghetti strap nightgown, her face heating up visibly.
This nightie! It was barely covering her butt!
Even though the room was full of girls, Ning Chu still felt so embarrassed and anxious. After pacing back and forth in the bathroom for a moment, she finally pulled at the hem and opened the door, peeking out: “Lily! Lily! Do you have any other nightgowns?”
“Nope~”
Are you doing this on purpose?!
“A winter nightgown will do, I’m afraid of the cold!”
After a moment, Lily reluctantly walked over, handing Ning Chu a thick winter robe.
“Winter wear.”
“Thanks…” Ning Chu couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Do you usually wear such short nightgowns when your parents are home?”
“I just throw on a jacket.”
Ning Chu had no words for that; she hurriedly threw on the robe, her sense of shame finally starting to fade.
Emerging from the bathroom, she could hear Yan Xinya snoring on the other side of the living room. Following Lily into the bedroom, she nervously sat at the edge of the bed.
A round princess bed!
She turned to Lily, only to see the girl lying on the other side of the bed. In a double bed, having two people won’t feel crowded, and there’s even space in the middle for Yan Xinya.
As the tipsiness kicked in, Ning Chu started feeling sleepy.
No longer anxious about being in bed with a girl for the first time, she just flopped down on the bed, yawning heavily.
“Turn off the lights?”
“Mm.”
Lily reached up to shut off the lights in the room, lying on her side with her bright eyes watching Ning Chu on the opposite side.
Out of the blue, she asked, “Are men more fun than toys?”
“Ah?”
Ning Chu’s drowsiness instantly vanished.
