Chapter 152 – What the Bubble Teapot Are You Blushing For?

If they reeled the crocodile up, there would be no explaining it!

They absolutely couldn’t let that happen!

“Tongtong, hurry up and get the crocodile off the hook!” Yang Shanshan urged.

Yang Tongtong agreed aloud, but a brilliant idea occurred to her.

She had just thought of the perfect way to bring her sister and Lin Xi even closer…

“Tongtong? Did you hear me? Hurry up and unhook the crocodile! Miss Lin Xi is already coming over to help me pull up the rod!”

Yang Shanshan continued urging her.

“I heard you, I heard you,” Yang Tongtong said. “I’ve already grabbed the crocodile. Is Lin Xi right beside you?”

“Yes, so hurry!”

“Good. Very good. Sis, hold on tight to the fishing rod.”

“Huh? Hold on tight? What are you planning?”

“Why, I’m…” At the bottom of the lake, Yang Tongtong gave the fishing line a violent tug. “Sending you off!”

The next second, two splashes rang out as Yang Shanshan and Lin Xi, who had been standing at the edge of the boat, tumbled into the water.

“Tongtong! I told you not to mess around, but you just had to do it anyway, didn’t you?!”

“Sis, how can you not appreciate all the thought I’ve put into this?”

“What thought?”

“This move is called the Chain Stratagem. Lin Xi falls into the water, giving you the chance to play the hero and save the damsel. Then you move on to mouth-to-mouth, and once you’re back on shore, won’t you have to take a hot shower together?”

Yang Tongtong had planned everything down to the last detail. “There can’t possibly be a better Love Strategist than me in all of Z City!”

Yang Shanshan was speechless.

She had no time to deal with her sister, because Lin Xi couldn’t swim!

“Miss Lin Xi, don’t panic!”

“I’m coming to save you!”

At the same time, the boatman threw two life rings into the water.

“Girls, grab the life rings!”

As Lin Xi flailed wildly, a helpful prompt appeared in her mind:

To avoid drowning, you can cast Fireball and evaporate all the water in the lake.

Lin Xi was speechless.

Evaporate my ass!

Wouldn’t that vaporize Yang Shanshan and the boatman too?

Although she’d swallowed several mouthfuls of water, Lin Xi was still thinking clearly enough.

There was no need to evaporate the lake. Yang Shanshan had already grabbed a life ring and was swimming toward her…

“Miss Lin Xi!” Yang Shanshan swam up beside Lin Xi.

Once she grabbed the life ring, Lin Xi could finally catch her breath.

“Phew-“

“Miss Lin Xi, I’m sorry! This is all my fault!”

“No, it was that damn… damn giant fish!” Lin Xi had never imagined a fish could be that strong…

With the boatman’s help, the two of them climbed back onto the boat.

“Sis! Honestly,” Yang Tongtong complained, “you shouldn’t have rescued her so quickly! Now you’ve missed your chance to give her mouth-to-mouth!”

“Tongtong! You’ve gone too far!” Yang Shanshan felt terribly guilty toward Lin Xi.

Her sister had yanked the fishing line without warning, catching her completely off guard.

If she’d known in advance, she never would have agreed to such a terrible idea.

Once they returned to shore, the two needed to use a bathroom, and the hostess at the country lodge immediately made arrangements for them.

“Since you didn’t get to do mouth-to-mouth, you might as well bathe together,” Yang Tongtong said. “There is no question that Sis won this fishing competition.”

“The winner gets to demand that the loser do one thing, no questions asked.”

“Sis, don’t tell me you don’t even have the courage to make a tiny request like asking Lin Xi to bathe with you!”

Yang Shanshan truly didn’t.

She had originally planned to ask Lin Xi to personally cook her a plate of red-braised carp after she won the competition.

“Sis, show some backbone!” Yang Tongtong said angrily. “A lost cause-is that what you are?”

“If you don’t dare make a move on Lin Xi, don’t blame me for what happens next. I’ll steal her away and make her my slave!”

Yang Shanshan: “…”

Faced with her younger sister’s blatant goading, Yang Shanshan finally took a bold step forward.

“Miss Lin Xi!”

“I… I, I, I-“

“Stop going ‘I, I, I’!” Yang Tongtong was nearly frantic. “Sis, why are you blushing like a boiling teakettle?!”

“It’s just taking a bath together, isn’t it?”

But to Yang Shanshan, taking a bath with the girl she liked was an earth-shattering event!

Blushing like a boiling teakettle was getting off lightly…

After taking a deep breath, Yang Shanshan finally made her request.

“I want to take a bath with Miss Lin Xi!”

“That’s my wish for winning the fishing competition!”

“Is that… okay?”

She looked at Lin Xi again, only to find her blushing like a boiling teakettle too.

“Take a… bath together???!!!”

“Isn’t that… maybe a little…”

Lin Xi hesitated.

But…

Yang Shanshan had saved her and won the fishing competition. Besides, they were both girls. There was nothing wrong with taking a bath together…

“Okay!”

Lin Xi agreed.

“Miss Shanshan, why… do you want to take a bath with me?”

Yang Shanshan had known Lin Xi would ask, so she already had an excuse prepared.

“There’s only one bathroom here. No matter which of us goes first, the other might catch a cold while waiting, so…”

“I see.” Lin Xi silently chided herself for overthinking it. As expected, Miss Shanshan was an innocent, pure-hearted girl.

And so, the two entered the bathroom and bared themselves to each other.

“Aaaaaah!!!!!” Yang Tongtong heard her sister shrieking inside her head. “Tongtong! I’m so happy I could die!”

Yang Shanshan fought desperately to rein in her desires. Her Queen of Lust form was on the verge of emerging.

Yang Tongtong remained utterly unmoved. “Stop holding back, Sis. Do her! Do her hard! Make Lin Xi a slave to your desires!”

Yang Shanshan: “…”

There was no way she would force Lin Xi into doing anything so outrageous.

“Tongtong, thank you for helping me get this far.”

“I’m already satisfied just making it to this point.”

“Anything further has to wait until Miss Lin Xi and I feel the same way about each other.”

“So… Aaaaaah!!!!!” Yang Shanshan hadn’t even managed to act normal for two full minutes before she started shrieking again.

What Yang Shanshan didn’t know was that Lin Xi was screaming internally too.

This was Lin Xi’s first time experiencing anything like this.

If Yang Shanshan was also one of the cuddle targets on the Cuddle Witch’s Last Wish List, wouldn’t cuddling to this extent trigger another massive payout?!

Yang Shanshan wasn’t, but Lin Xi wasn’t disappointed.

Both of them were so embarrassed that their faces resembled boiling teakettles.

…

For dinner, they had an all-fish banquet at the farmhouse restaurant.

“Miss Shanshan, it’s all thanks to you catching those two huge fish.” Lin Xi took a sip of the delicious fish soup. “I never would’ve guessed you were so talented at fishing.”

“I-I don’t have any talent. I just got lucky.”

“Luck is part of one’s ability too.” Lin Xi raised her glass and clinked it against Yang Shanshan’s. “Either way, I had a wonderful time today. Cheers!”

“Yes! Cheers!” Yang Shanshan was going to commemorate this day forever!

It was the anniversary of the first time she took a bath with Lin Xi!

Yang Shanshan was delighted with today’s date, but Yang Tongtong was thoroughly dissatisfied.

Finding the whole thing unbearably dull, she left.

“My sister really is hopeless.”

“It’s time to turn up the pressure on her…”

Yang Tongtong, the Love Strategist, planned to personally enter the fray and join the “battle”!
