Chapter 472 : Surprisingly Bold~
“Ahem!”
Su Ya’s voice startled Ling Ning, who had been lying on her bed enjoying a moment of calm. Ling Ning turned her head with an embarrassed smile and said, “I… I was just here to tidy up the bed. Yes, just tidying up the bed.”
“Oh, is that so~”
Tidy up the bed by lying on it? Regardless, Ling Ning on the bed really exuded a playful charm.
She got off the bed and, with a serious face, began neatly folding the blanket. She hadn’t expected Su Ya to finish in the restroom so quickly, catching her in the act again. How embarrassing…
At that moment, the door to Ling Ning’s room opened, and Ling Ye rushed in holding a box.
“Mom, your package arrived! Ye Ye’s new game is here too. Let’s play together later, okay?”
“Mm, I’ll be right out.”
Looking at the package in her hands, Ling Ning raised an eyebrow. What could it be? She didn’t remember ordering anything online recently. Could it be a mistake?
She shook her head lightly. Whatever—it had her name on it, so it must be hers. Definitely.
Taking scissors from the drawer, she opened the package. But when she saw what was inside, she froze.
Su Ya, standing nearby, was equally stunned.
Because what Ling Ning pulled out was an unopened set of lingerie—sexy lingerie of a rather high-end variety. Ling Ning couldn’t believe it; there was no way she’d order something like this… Wait!
On second thought, it might actually have something to do with her.
Just then, Ling Ning’s phone buzzed with a message from Xia You, asking if she had received the package.
Seeing the message, Ling Ning recalled that Xia You had mentioned buying this lingerie before. She had thought it was a joke at the time, but Xia You had actually followed through!
“Um, Ling Ning, I didn’t expect you to wear such bold underwear…” Su Ya said softly, her mind flashing back to a time when she and Ling Ning had tried on some rather daring lingerie in a love hotel. This set was even bolder than that one.
Ling Ning hurriedly stuffed the lingerie back into the box and stammered, “T-this isn’t what you think!”
She opened her mouth, intending to explain, but realized there was no point. The lingerie technically was hers now. There was no convincing argument to offer.
With a sigh, Ling Ning hung her head. If only she had opened the package when no one was around, she could have avoided this awkward situation.
Meanwhile, Su Ya’s mind had already wandered to imagining what Ling Ning would look like in that lingerie. With Ling Ning’s figure, it would definitely be seductive. Su Ya stopped herself from thinking further.
An awkward silence grew between them.
Just then, Ling Ye pushed the door open again and walked in, looking at the pair in confusion before saying, “Mom, come out already! I’ve been waiting forever!”
“I-I’m coming.”
Clearing her throat, Ling Ning turned to Su Ya and said, “Xiao Ya, let’s head out.”
“Mm.”
As if remembering something, Ling Ning grabbed her laptop on the way out. Since Su Ya wasn’t much into gaming, letting her watch movies or browse the internet might be a good idea.
“Xiao Ya, if you get bored, feel free to use my laptop to go online.”
“Mm.”
Ling Ye’s new game was a cooperative puzzle-solving game for two players. It was so entertaining that even Ling Ning, who wasn’t much of a gamer, found herself completely engrossed.
Su Ya found the game interesting at first, but after a while, she got a bit bored. Her attention drifted to Ling Ning’s laptop.
Putting on headphones, she opened the media player. While browsing for something to watch, she noticed a suspicious file name in the playback history.
Though she knew snooping wasn’t polite, her curiosity got the better of her. She clicked on the file and was greeted by a scene of two girls wrestling.
Su Ya was shocked. She hadn’t expected Ling Ning to have such interests. A mischievous smile spread across Su Ya’s face.
Meanwhile, Ling Ning, immersed in the game, glanced at Su Ya and saw her using the laptop. Su Ya seemed to be enjoying herself, which relieved Ling Ning. She had worried Su Ya might feel left out.
But something didn’t sit right. A sense of unease crept over her. Ling Ning suddenly remembered the latest resource a fellow fan had shared in their group chat. She’d only watched half of it last night and planned to finish the rest tonight. After all, yuri-themed “training” videos were so rare.
And she was definitely into that sort of thing. Definitely… probably!?
“Mom, you’re about to get swarmed by monsters!”
“Huh!? Ye Ye, help me!”
Time flew by as they played. Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. Reluctantly, Ling Ning set down the controller and glanced at Su Ya, still glued to the laptop.
“Xiao Ya, what do you want for lunch?”
“Huh?”
Su Ya snapped out of her daze and quickly closed the wrestling video—an instinctive reflex she had honed from watching “study materials.”
“Anything’s fine~”
“Alright, I’ll go cook something~”
“Huh? But your leg is injured. Are you sure it’s okay?”
“It’s just my leg, not my hands. I’ll be fine~”
As she spoke, Ling Ning got up and made her way to the kitchen. Her injury wasn’t too severe—she was fine as long as she didn’t overexert herself.
The ingredients had been delivered by Xia You the day before. After several days of takeout, Ling Ning craved home-cooked food again.
“I’ll help!”
“It’s really not necessary. I can handle it.”
“Don’t worry. I can’t cook, but I can help wash vegetables!”
Seeing Su Ya’s determination, Ling Ning chuckled. “Alright, I’ll leave it to you~”
