Trapped In Paradise
Volume 3 Chapter 41 / Chapter 546: Lin Li
"Wake up, wake up! It's already four o'clock!"
Someone pounded on the door loudly, jolting Ning Chu awake. She instinctively reached toward the space beside her, only to find the familiar warmth gone.
"Ning Chu! Hurry up and get ready!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
Hearing Yan Xinya's voice outside, she rubbed her sore eyes and sluggishly got out of bed to answer the door.
The moment she opened it, the wolf girl and Lily filed into the room one after the other, both sneaking suspicious glances at the bed. Ning Chu, meanwhile, calmly turned and headed for the bathroom.
Although the bed was a little messy, Yan Xinya couldn't smell anything suspicious. Somewhat disappointed, she leaned toward the bathroom and called out,
"Our class is taking graduation photos at five! We're almost out of time!"
"It's only about a ten-minute walk over there. How are we running out of time?"
While washing up, Ning Chu looked at herself in the mirror.
After her nap, a few stubborn tufts of hair were sticking up. She still wasn't fully awake; her large eyes were hazy with sleep, and there was a pillow mark pressed into her cheek, giving her an adorably absent-minded look.
"You still need to do your makeup and your hair!"
"My hair..."
"It's graduation day! Of course you have to take it seriously! Look at Lily! She's gorgeous~"
Brushing her teeth, Ning Chu glanced toward the bathroom door.
Lily stood there with her usual cool expression. Her palm-sized face was as delicate as a doll's, with striking, well-defined features. Her normally long, straight black hair had been curled into soft waves, complete with airy bangs.
Her fitted black dress emphasized her slim waist while accentuating the curves of her chest. She had also added a stylish hat, making the icy beauty look more like an elegant young lady from a wealthy family.
She really does look beautiful...
As a fellow succubus, Ning Chu naturally didn't want to be outshone.
"But I didn't bring any makeup."
"I did."
Carrying a cosmetic bag into the bathroom, Lily stood behind her and skillfully began smoothing out her messy hair.
If I were still a man, I'd definitely marry Lily...
Though, judging by my size back then... she'd probably have said I wasn't even as good as a toy before dumping me on the spot.
"Thanks~ Why aren't you wearing makeup, Xinya?"
Yan Xinya still looked as carefree as ever. Her short hair was tied into a simple ponytail. Her T-shirt was knotted at the waist, revealing a toned, enviably slim midriff, while a pair of denim shorts completed her clean, sporty look.
"I'm too lazy~ Where'd Wen Yang go? I thought you two would be doing something you didn't want anyone else to know about~"
"He was still here before I fell asleep... He's probably sitting in on classes, or maybe he went to find Wang Jie at the dorm."
"Oh! Are you hungry? I'll go downstairs and buy something for everyone."
"You're the hungry one, aren't you? I want a hot dog."
The wolf girl eagerly dashed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
The room immediately became much quieter.
Ning Chu continued washing up while Lily stood behind her, tidying her hair.
"What conditioner do you use?"
"Huh? None. I'm too lazy to bother with all that."
She applied a little moisturizer to her face, considering her skincare routine complete.
"If my skin didn't get dry and flaky, I'd probably skip even the moisturizer."
"..."
Looking at Ning Chu's smooth, dewy skin—so flawless that her pores were practically invisible—Lily let out a resentful sigh.
Life really isn't fair.
Her own collection of skincare products was so extensive that they barely fit on the bathroom counter. She diligently used them every morning and night, with products ranging from a few dozen yuan to well over a thousand, yet she still broke out occasionally, and her skin wasn't nearly as nice as Ning Chu's.
"Turn around. Time for makeup."
Ning Chu turned to face her, leaning back against the bathroom counter.
"Okay. Aren't we doing my hair too?"
"No need."
"You're just afraid I'll end up prettier than you~ Oh, look at my new nails. Aren't they nice?"
"My necklace and earrings are prettier."
Only then did Ning Chu notice the delicate necklace resting against Lily's fair neck. Lily had tucked her hair behind one ear, revealing a small, elegant earring.
Ning Chu had never cared much for accessories, but they certainly complemented Lily and made her look even more refined.
"I don't like wearing things on me. I hardly ever wear the jewelry Wen Yang buys me."
Tilting her head back and closing her eyes obediently while Lily applied her makeup, she muttered, "I don't even have my ears pierced. I'm scared it'll hurt."
"It doesn't hurt."
"Do you have to get them pierced at a hospital?"
Just then, the hotel room door emitted a soft beep as someone unlocked it.
"Wen Yang, what took you so long?"
Wen Yang swiped the key card and walked into the room carrying several shouzhuabing (Chinese stuffed flatbreads). He peeked toward the bathroom.
"What are you two doing?"
"Lily's doing my makeup."
"Hurry up. Eat your breakfast so we can head to campus for the graduation photos."
"Mm~ It'll only take a minute."
Not long afterward, Ning Chu finished her makeup and walked out of the bathroom alongside Lily.
With lipstick and eyeliner on, her youthful face looked a little more mature. Her naturally alluring peach blossom eyes were even more captivating, and the faint reddish tint at the corners of her eyes gave her an especially delicate, seductive charm.
"Well?"
Holding her shouzhuabing, she sat down beside Wen Yang and asked with a smile.
"Lily's pretty good at makeup."
"It's because I'm already pretty, okay?"
Ning Chu rolled her eyes at him. Even that simple gesture looked irresistibly charming.
Taking a bite of her breakfast, she glanced at Lily, who was sitting on the small sofa, then straightened up and leaned close to Wen Yang's ear.
"When you get the chance, take me to get my ears pierced."
"I thought you didn't like wearing jewelry."
"I just want to try it~"
Puzzled, Wen Yang turned his head and immediately noticed Lily's earrings. Understanding dawned on him, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Aren't you two pretty close? You're always comparing this and that."
Today, Lily was every bit as beautiful as Ning Chu.
Even so, in Wen Yang's eyes, his own little succubus was still prettier—and had the better figure.
After finishing their breakfast, Ning Chu changed into a different outfit, and the three of them leisurely headed downstairs.
As they stepped out of the hotel, Yan Xinya happened to be returning, accompanied by a fox girl.
"Hey! You're leaving already? Do you still want your hot dogs?!"
But Ning Chu's attention was completely fixed on the fox.
Lin Li!
A year had passed, yet the flirtatious fox looked almost exactly the same. She was wearing elegant makeup, and the moment they met, her gaze toward Wen Yang was so heated it was as if she wanted to devour him whole.
After all these years... she's still completely smitten with Wen Yang!
Almost instinctively, Ning Chu tightened her grip around Wen Yang's arm, staking her claim, then glared fiercely back at Lin Li.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here with my roommate. What else?" Lin Li folded her arms beneath her full bust before turning away. "Come on. Let's go take the photos."
The two of them had barely exchanged a few words before the tension between them became obvious.
The fox walked at the front of the group, her shapely hips swaying naturally with each step, her fiery red tail swinging behind her in rhythm, creating a mesmerizing sight.
She's even bigger than a succubus!
She has to be wearing padding!
Not just a padded bra—she's probably padded her butt too!
"Ow! Ow! That hurts!"
Wen Yang suddenly yelped in pain, and only then did Ning Chu realize she had been pinching the flesh at his waist. She quickly withdrew her hand.
"You're still looking?!"
Embarrassed and feeling guilty, Wen Yang hurriedly looked away.
Come on! Any guy would glance once!
It's not like I was staring and couldn't take my eyes off her!
