"Lili!"
At the train station exit, a lively husky spotted her target. Dropping her luggage, she sprinted forward and hugged the succubus tightly.
Yan Xinya clung to Lili's neck, rubbing her face against Lili's, her nose twitching as she sniffed repeatedly, and her fluffy tail wagged like a fan. "Long time no see~"
“It hasn’t been that long!” Lili finally managed to wriggle out of the wolf girl's embrace, wiping her reddened cheeks and pushing her away in disgust.
“Where’s Ning Chu? Why isn’t she here yet?”
“She’ll be here soon.”
Lili adjusted her slightly messy clothes, the redness on her cheeks quickly fading, and her expression returned to the icy, stoic mask she usually wore as she stared toward the station exit.
"What should we eat tonight? Buffet?"
Yan Xinya picked up her dropped suitcase and straddled it, asking restlessly.

“Whatever.”
“Are your parents still not back?”
“Mhm.”
Lili, who was always quiet and reserved in public, kept up her cold and aloof "ice queen" demeanor, showing little emotion to anyone.
“Lili~ where are we going to hang out these days~?”
“Wherever.”
“How about we go camping by the beach? I want to see Lili in a bikini!” Yan Xinya’s ears perked up, her tail wagging excitedly.
“...”
“Ning Chu would look great in a bikini too~”
Lili took a step back, putting some distance between herself and the wolf girl.
Never mind the bikini—who goes camping at the beach in the middle of winter? One gust of sea wind, and you’d freeze to death...
After waiting for over ten minutes, a girl wearing a white down jacket with a fur collar walked out of the station.
The girl looked particularly cute, her face still holding a bit of childish innocence, with thick lashes and large, fluttering eyes that scanned her surroundings like a sweet high school girl.
But there was a subtle, seductive quality to her upward-slanted eyes, tinged with a faint blush, which gave her pure, innocent face an alluring, mature vibe. Her peach blossom eyes added a layer of sultry charm, giving the impression of a young girl blossoming into a woman.
Lili froze for a moment. If she remembered correctly, when she first met Ning Chu, she had looked like a handsome tomboy. By the time winter break started, she had already turned into a pretty young lady. But after just a week, the girl seemed to have evolved again...
Even her chest looked a little bigger! Almost catching up to hers!
And that slightly awkward walk? She’d definitely been "taken care of" before coming. No wonder her complexion looked so radiant!
The truth was clear!
The poor, barely-developed succubus from before had been completely devoured by a man~
A shortcut to adulthood!
"Ning Chu!"
Yan Xinya didn’t overthink it. Her tail was already wagging so fast it was a blur as she ran up to her, ready to pounce.
But Ning Chu was prepared. She dodged out of the way, leaving the wolf girl stumbling past her.
Dragging her suitcase, Ning Chu approached Lili. Before Yan Xinya could jump on her again, she pressed a hand to the wolf girl’s face, pushing her back with a look of disdain. “We’re in public! I may not care, but I do!”
Yan Xinya’s face was squashed into a comical expression, but she still tried to snuggle up to Ning Chu.
“Why are you acting like a dog...” Ning Chu muttered, turning to Lili, only to feel uneasy under Lili’s scrutinizing gaze. She took a step back. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
Lili gave her a knowing look—a smile that only a succubus would understand—causing Ning Chu’s face to flush with embarrassment.
Distracted, Ning Chu didn’t notice Yan Xinya sneak up and pull her into a tight hug, sniffing her all over like a big, affectionate dog.
Thankfully, the wolf girl didn’t have the habit of licking faces...
After a few sniffs, Yan Xinya’s eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something new. “Oh wow~ Ning Chu, you smell just like Wen Yang!”
Ning Chu’s body stiffened.
Didn’t I take two showers?! How can she still smell him?!
“You must’ve been with Wen Yang right before you got on the train~”
Yan Xinya, satisfied with her newfound gossip, was oblivious to Ning Chu’s relief. She had feared that the wolf girl had somehow sniffed out something even more personal about Wen Yang...
After being "pickled" for several days, she wouldn’t have been surprised if she had reeked of his "essence."
“Where are we headed?” Lili tilted her head, watching the two of them with mild amusement. “Back to my place?”
“Yeah, let’s head to your house first~ My butt’s numb from sitting on the train for so long.”
“Ning Chu just wants to play on your gaming console, right?”
“Of course not! I’m here to spend time with Lili, okay?”
Yan Xinya, ever observant, noticed something off about Ning Chu’s walking. “What’s wrong with your foot?”
“I twisted it this morning, but it’s almost fine now.”
“Really?”
Ning Chu looked up at Lili, whose knowing smile made her cheeks burn even hotter. She snapped in frustration, “I really did just twist my ankle!”
“Oh~”
Oh my foot!
Ning Chu glared at Lili, but the succubus had already resumed her ice queen facade, looking every bit the cool goddess.
Lili’s family home was in the new development on the outskirts of the city. A quick twenty-minute taxi ride from the station, they arrived at her luxurious apartment.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and into the entryway, Ning Chu was greeted by the warmth inside.
She placed her suitcase in the corner and instinctively glanced around.
Unlike her last visit, when the place was covered in dust and had required a thorough cleaning before it was livable, the apartment was now spotless, with every corner neatly tidied.
Yan Xinya, as energetic as ever, darted around the living room like an overexcited husky.
“Something’s missing,” she muttered, plopping down on the couch.
Right! Lili’s tentacles! The ones she used to display proudly on the coffee table like decorative pieces!
A succubus’s home without any lewd elements just felt strange!
Lili’s parents were probably due back soon for the New Year, which was why she had packed away all the weird stuff.
“Did you clean the place yourself while you were home alone?” Ning Chu asked lazily, leaning back on the couch. “This place is huge—how long did it take to clean?”
“I hired a cleaner.”
“Why is it so warm in here... Did you install underfloor heating?”
“No, central heating.”
“...”
Ah, the perks of being rich... If Ning Chu ever dared to turn on the heater in her house during the winter, her mom would chew her out.
Maybe her brother should sacrifice his kidneys and work harder to woo a rich girl...
She wondered if there had been any progress.
Ning Chu’s gaze drifted toward Lili, and she couldn’t help but ask, “How’s it going with my brother? You guys been chatting online?”
“...”
Lili paused for a moment, then shook her head.
“What? No conversation topics?”
“He won’t add me as a friend.”
“Uh... Did you at least tell him you’re my classmate?”
She nodded slightly. “I did. Then he blocked me.”
Ning Chu was stunned, scratching her head in confusion.
Her brother was doomed to stay single at this rate!
