Chapter 476

Two ride-hailing cars pulled up in front of the grand entrance of a large residential complex. The succubus in a long dress couldn’t wait to get out, her face still cool and composed, but her steps hurried as she rushed inside.

“Why are you running so fast?”

When Ning Chu got out of the other car, all she could see was Lily’s slender back disappearing ahead.

She didn’t even need to guess—she was certain Lily had remembered some “toy” left out in a conspicuous place and was rushing back to tidy it up before Xi Xi saw it.

In Xi Xi’s eyes, Lily was a mature, aloof, ice-cold senior. There was always a strange admiration in the way she looked at her. If she really discovered something, the shock of that “idol image collapsing” would probably lead to quite a reaction.

“What’s Sister Lily in such a hurry for?” Xi Xi leaned over and asked curiously. “Shouldn’t we follow her?”

“Maybe her place is messy, and she’s rushing to clean up?” Yan Xinya tried to cover for Lily. “It’s fine, I know where she lives… should we buy some drinks to bring up?”

“I want cola!”

Ning Chu didn’t bother piling on. Sooner or later, after spending enough time together, Lily would reveal herself anyway.

She glanced at Xi Xi’s youthful face and figure, finding it hard to imagine that this seemingly innocent magical girl would secretly eavesdrop on her with righteous seriousness.

This girl didn’t even recognize the most basic “toys,” so she probably hadn’t been exposed to anything related to sex. But at sixteen or seventeen, having never been in a relationship, she was right at the age of peak curiosity.

Plenty of potential to be corrupted…

“Wen Yang! Come help carry the drinks!”

“Coming.”

Wen Yang responded to the wolf girl’s call, but walked leisurely beside Ning Chu. “Should we also get a case of bottled water? It’s a hassle to boil water with so many people.”

“Sure, that works.”

Wearing high heels, Ning Chu’s steps were more elegant than ever. She hooked her arm around Wen Yang’s and took small, careful steps, following Yan Xinya and Lily ahead.

Her weight was all on the balls of her feet, her toes squeezed painfully. She frowned and complained, “High heels are so uncomfortable. My feet hurt a bit…”

“I heard that wearing them too much can deform your toes.”

“Seriously?! Damn!”

Wen Yang wasn’t sure where he had heard that before, so he searched it online and confirmed, “Yeah, it’s true. That’s what people say online.”

“Good thing I brought another pair of shoes.”

Right next to the complex entrance was a small convenience store. By the time Ning Chu and Wen Yang strolled up to it, Yan Xinya had already come out carrying a case of drinks on her shoulder.

“Here! You’re the only man here!” the wolf girl grinned mischievously. “We can’t have a bunch of weak girls carrying drinks upstairs, right?”

“Hard to see where you’re weak…” Ning Chu muttered, speaking up for her boyfriend.

Wen Yang didn’t mind at all. He reached out and took the drinks. “Alright. Go grab a case of bottled water too, I’ll carry it.”

With a large backpack on his back and drinks and water in both hands, he still moved briskly, completely unaffected by the weight.

Xi Xi and Ning Chu bought two bags of snacks inside the store, and then the group followed Yan Xinya toward Lily’s home.

Stepping out of the elevator led straight into a spacious entryway lined with shoe racks.

Wen Yang had heard about Lily’s place from Ning Chu before, but he still showed a surprised expression. After putting down the things, he looked around curiously.

“Sister Lily really is rich and beautiful! Such a huge place!”

Unlike Wen Yang’s restraint, Xi Xi rushed in excitedly, exclaiming as she quickly changed into slippers. As soon as she reached the living room, she cried out again, “Whoa! Such a huge glass window! You can really see the sea!”

She walked closer to the floor-to-ceiling window, then cautiously leaned forward to look down. “Is this glass sturdy? It won’t break and make us fall, right?”

“It won’t. It’s very safe.”

Lily said this as she stuffed a broom into Xi Xi’s hands.

“Huh?”

“Cleaning.” She turned to look at the others and pointed at the tools in the corner. “Big cleanup.”

If it were just one or two close friends, like last time, she would only need to tidy up the living room and one bedroom, and she wouldn’t mind sharing a bed. But this time, there were quite a few people.

Aside from the master bedroom where her parents stayed, everything else needed to be cleaned.

Ning Chu had just taken off her high heels, and she was already limping slightly. The moment she heard “big cleanup,” her face fell. “Come on… my feet hurt. Can I rest for a bit first?”

“We just sat in the car for hours! Aren’t you tired?”

Lily glanced at her. Seeing her sitting on the sofa rubbing her feet, the corners of Lily’s lips lifted slightly.

Serves you right for showing off your height in high heels~ now you’re suffering, huh!

“Not tired.” Lily mercilessly tossed a rag at her. “You wipe the table.”

Ning Chu let out a lifeless sigh and looked up at the others.

Xi Xi had already started sweeping. Yan Xinya, who always had too much energy to burn, had gone to fetch a bucket of water without even being told. As for Wen Yang, it was his first time at Lily’s house—feeling a bit awkward and out of place, he was especially proactive with the cleaning.

Seeing that she was the only one lazing around like a salted fish, completely out of place, she swallowed her complaints and picked up the rag, bending down to wipe the coffee table.

But after only a few wipes, Lily moved closer and quietly asked, “How high are the heels?”

“Hm? I think about five centimeters,” Ning Chu muttered. “I thought they looked nice when I bought them, but they’re still a bit high.”

Mainly because she didn’t wear them often and wasn’t used to them.

When she was younger, she had secretly tried on her mother’s high heels once—and remembered falling quite badly.

“Oh~”

Lily nodded, walked straight to the entryway, opened the shoe cabinet, and took out a pair of heels with a six-centimeter height.

Ning Chu saw this clearly and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

It wasn’t that she liked competing with Lily, but Lily always pushed things further!

This succubus had clearly set her sights on competing with her. Though, Ning Chu could understand—after all, Lily had been a succubus for twenty years, while she, who had been a man for twenty years, had overtaken her in a curve… anyone would feel unbalanced.

Even though Lily didn’t know Ning Chu used to be a man, she did know that Ning Chu had only developed for half a year.

“Hey! Sister Ning Chu, what’s this?”

Hearing Xi Xi’s question, Ning Chu’s eyelid twitched. She immediately turned her head happily, ready to enjoy Lily’s embarrassment.

But when she took a closer look, she answered with disappointment, “A robot vacuum. Haven’t you seen one before?”

She thought Lily had been exposed! And it turned out to be just that?

“I mean, if there’s a robot vacuum, why do I still have to sweep the floor?!”

Lily, who had hurried over in panic, slowed her steps back to her usual calm pace, letting out the breath she’d been holding. “The battery’s broken,” she explained.

“Oh… I see~” Xi Xi sighed regretfully and obediently picked up the broom again. “I’m hungry…”

“Me too!”

Yan Xinya immediately chimed in loudly, and Wen Yang also turned his head over with an eager look.

“You all eat so much…” Lily muttered as she took out her phone. “I’ll order takeout for you guys.”
