Trapped In Paradise
Volume 2 Chapter 203 / Chapter 483: Swimsuits
Ning Chu had originally thought this would be some kind of open, public hot spring. Before coming, she had even felt a bit nervous and uneasy—afraid that wearing a thin, revealing swimsuit, with her succubus tail sticking out, would draw unwanted attention from men.
She had already mentally prepared herself to just soak her feet at most. In fact, she thought there was no way she'd actually wear that swimsuit.
But Zhang Shaoqing had arranged a private room for them. Although it wasn't very spacious, it at least offered enough privacy.
The only issue was that Yan Xinya had way too much energy, and with the magical girl she'd influenced, the two of them were overly excited—jumping around nonstop, making the already small room feel even more cramped.
"I'm kinda hungry."
After all the commotion, Yan Xinya sat down beside Ning Chu, holding her stomach and letting out a faint sigh.
"Wen Yang went to buy food, just wait a bit."
"Then maybe I'll get in after eating?"
The wolf girl, who usually had a high activity level and big appetite, was already drained by now. It was eight in the evening and she hadn't eaten yet, so she drooped listlessly, completely losing her earlier excitement.
Meanwhile, Xi Xi grabbed her bag and went into the shower room. A moment later, she came out wearing a one-piece swimsuit.
Her outfit was very conservative—the skirt hem covered her thighs, and she even wore a light outer layer on top, concealing her slim, youthful figure. Even so, she still looked a bit shy.
Ning Chu thought to herself that Xi Xi's combat outfit was way more form-fitting and suggestive than this.
But then again, with her flat figure, it wasn't going to look all that provocative no matter what she wore.
The evening air was slightly cool. As soon as Xi Xi stepped out, she hurried to the courtyard, testing the water temperature before carefully lowering herself in.
"Is it hot?" Yan Xinya asked curiously.
"It's okay—kind of hot."
Before long, Xi Xi's cheeks were flushed red from the steam. "It's pretty comfortable~"
The wolf girl was tempted. Forgetting about dinner, she quickly went to change into her swimsuit and eagerly jumped into the hot spring, splashing water everywhere along with a howl.
"Whoa! It's so hot!"
Even her wolf tail seemed to stiffen from the heat.
"Isn't this basically just taking a bath?"
Ning Chu muttered, the more she looked at the small hot spring, the more it resembled an oversized bathtub.
"And you even said the swimsuit I picked was too conservative… but you're wearing a one-piece yourself."
Seeing that both Yan Xinya and Xi Xi were in modest one-piece swimsuits, Ning Chu realized she'd been tricked.
Her swimsuit was a white bikini. Although it had shorts with a skirt-like design, it was clearly more revealing compared to theirs.
"Lily, what does your swimsuit look like?"
Ning Chu turned to the other succubus.
Lily expressionlessly took out a strappy short dress from her bag.
It looked almost no different from a nightdress—light and thin, something that wouldn't even seem out of place worn casually outside in summer.
"And you?"
"..."
"Bikini?" Seeing her silence, Lily's lips curved slightly. "That's pretty bold."
You have the nerve to say that about me?!
Aside from the lack of a man, Lily was way more daring than her!
At least Ning Chu didn't have that many kinds of… toys. Just a few… after all, they were too expensive.
Ning Chu shot Lily an annoyed glare. "You teamed up with Xinya to trick me, didn't you? I was planning to buy something like yours!"
"You chose it yourself."
"Not succubus-like at all! What a disgrace to succubi!"
Lily wasn't sure whether being called a "disgrace to succubi" was something to be happy or upset about. Her expression stiffened slightly, but she kindly offered, "Want to swap?"
Their figures and height were similar, so they could easily exchange outfits.
Ning Chu was tempted for a second—but then quickly snapped out of it.
If Wen Yang saw Lily wearing a bikini, he'd definitely have some thoughts. It was just a man's instinct.
Thinking about it that way, with her friends all wearing conservative swimsuits, at least Wen Yang wouldn't be tempted to let his eyes wander—and she wouldn't feel jealous.
"No need!"
Ning Chu stood up indignantly, grabbed her swimsuit bag, and headed straight for the shower room.
After all, there was no one else around. Everyone present was a girl—and the only guy there was her boyfriend.
Why would she feel shy wearing a swimsuit in front of a group of girls? Shouldn't she take the chance to show off her figure?
Since she was already here, wouldn't it be a waste to just soak her feet?
Or maybe she should book a couple's private room with Wen Yang… and in the hot spring…
Her thoughts suddenly started running wild. Scenes from those doujin about hot springs flashed through her mind, startling her so much that she quickly rushed into the shower room, shaking her head hard to throw out the inappropriate thoughts.
Spending too much time with Wen Yang had filled her head with this kind of nonsense!
The shower room was divided into two sections: one side had cubby drawers, and the other was a tiled shower area. At the moment, two sets of women's clothes were already placed inside the drawers.
After closing and locking the frosted glass door, Ning Chu hesitated as she took out her swimsuit, letting out a troubled sigh.
"It's still way too revealing… if I'm not careful, the markings might show."
The swimsuit bottoms only covered a few inches below her navel, barely enough to hide the markings on her lower abdomen. The decorative short skirt didn't even cover the tops of her thighs—it was purely for looks.
The top was a shell-shaped bra, held in place by just a few straps, perfectly showing off her smooth, fair back.
After only a brief hesitation, Ning Chu took off her clothes and stepped under the shower.
She had been a girl for so long now—she really should have let go of that leftover shyness and restraint from her past self.
That faint sense of being a man she once had had long since been shattered, ground into dust after countless moments of losing control.
"If my past self saw me like this…"
A familiar sensation rose from her lower abdomen, interrupting her slightly wistful thoughts.
Her eyelids twitched. Instinctively, she wanted to find Wen Yang to deal with it—but as she turned her head and heard the laughter and splashing from the courtyard, her embarrassment immediately overwhelmed her, making her face burn hot.
Why now?!
Wen Yang must have run into some heroine while buying dinner! And of course he rejected her invitation!
That woman's tactics must've been too weak—giving up so easily? Couldn't she at least try harder?
Flustered, Ning Chu quickly checked the shower room door again, making sure it was locked.
She leaned against the cool tiles and lowered the water temperature, trying to use the cold to suppress the heat in her body.
"Please don't let me lose control…"
The last time she lost control, she had embarrassed herself in front of Wen Yang—back when they were just roommates. But this time, there were a whole group of people outside!
Normally, the daily "routine" was enough to keep her body satisfied, so she hadn't experienced this kind of sudden episode in a while.
Her mind felt a bit hazy from the heat, her gaze uncontrollably drifting toward the objects in the shower room—but she still managed to hold herself back.
"You're taking forever."
There was a light knock on the door. Lily urged from outside, "Hurry up, dinner's here."
"I… wait a second!"
"Oh~"
Lily nodded in understanding and silently stepped aside from the path to the shower room. Then she turned her head to look at Wen Yang standing behind her.
Her eyes were clearly filled with encouragement and excitement.
Wen Yang was still holding the takeout and hadn't even set it down yet. Awkwardly, he took a step back. "Let's eat first."
