Trapped in Paradise (In a Hentai World, as a Trap)

A girl wearing a black hoodie, with the hood covering half her face, sat in the corner of the café. Her hands were clasped between her thighs, shoulders hunched, and head lowered.

“Lily~ Don’t be so nervous!” Yan Xinya teased with a smile, swinging the coffee in her hand as she propped her chin with the other.

“Could it be that you like Wen Yang and are nervous because you’re meeting a love rival?”

“No.”

“What are you afraid of then? Do you have social anxiety?”

“Ning Chu… it seems like she doesn’t like me.”

Lily’s cool voice grew even softer.

She kept her head down, not having touched any of the coffee or cake in front of her.

“Is that so?” Yan Xinya speculated. “She’s such a jealous type, maybe she thinks you’re pretty and is afraid you’ll flirt with Wen Yang?”

“……”

The wolf girl looked troubled as she gazed at Lily sitting beside her, completely unable to understand why a succubus would be a silent ice queen and suffer from severe social anxiety.

But her gaze quickly shifted to the café entrance, where a young-looking girl pushed open the door and peeked inside hesitantly.

“Ning Chu~” Yan Xinya stood up and waved her hand.

Lily curiously turned her head to look at the man she had met a few times before.

At first glance, he didn’t look like a man at all—only 1.6 meters tall, wearing a black coat and jeans, showing no particular physique.

His well-defined eyebrows exuded a charming aura, but his face was exceptionally youthful and cute.

Looking at his steps and demeanor, he looked like a somewhat introverted young boy, but his temperament was no different from an ordinary girl.

A very contradictory person.

“Wen Yang, wait for me outside.”

Ning Chu turned back, instructing Wen Yang outside the café, before pushing open the glass door again and walking towards Lily and Yan Xinya.

As she got closer, she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous, especially since her previous interactions with Lily hadn’t been very pleasant.

She sat opposite the two, forcing a tight smile and greeted, “Hello…”

Lily just nodded.

“Ning Chu~ You’re treating today!” Yan Xinya pushed the already ordered coffee in front of Ning Chu and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you here to talk to Lily? What’s the matter?”

“Uh…”

Looking at Yan Xinya and Lily, the question on Ning Chu’s lips couldn’t come out.

She sipped her coffee with distress, a blush appearing on her cheeks, and glanced around to make sure there were only the three of them.

“Um, isn’t Lily a succubus…” Ning Chu’s voice was as thin as a mosquito’s. “I want to ask, when she gets… gets… urges, how does she handle them?”

This is their first time having a formal meeting, and yet, she’s asking such a private and embarrassing question!

If she hadn’t been cornered, she wouldn’t have dared to ask such a question; given her personality, she definitely couldn’t have thought to ask.

Sure enough, Lily’s ice-cold expression almost couldn’t hold, even Yan Xinya was filled with surprise and astonishment.

“Ning Chu, you’re not curious, are you? Why are you asking this?” wolf girl examined Ning Chu up and down in surprise, then suddenly realized, her nose twitched as she detected a trace of alluring scent, and she meaningfully revealed a sly smile, “Oh~”

Ning Chu almost buried her head under the table.

If she had known, she would have taken a shower!

She forgot how sensitive a wolf girl’s nose was!

Lily still maintained her expressionless look, but conveyed confusion to Yan Xinya with her eyes.

So the wolf girl leaned in and whispered, “Ning Chu is a girl~ I don’t know what she did with Wen Yang last night, but I smelled it…”

Spreading rumors again!

Ning Chu glared at the wolf girl and urgently explained, “I didn’t do anything!”

“Hmm?”

She stopped stammering, fearing that Yan Xinya would misinterpret again, to avoid making bigger trouble.

So she took a deep breath and got straight to the point: “I am also a succubus. Last night I suddenly got… the urges, so I wanted to ask Lily, how do you usually handle them?”

Yan Xinya looked at her flat chest. “I can’t tell at all, are you really a succubus?”

Even though Lily didn’t say anything, her gaze still lingered on Ning Chu’s chest.

I’ve never seen such a cute succubus.

“I have underdeveloped curves, is that a problem…”

Ning Chu kept her head down, facing the two girls’ gazes, her embarrassment pressing against her brain, making her cheeks flush and burn, her palms sweat and heart race.

She nervously glanced at the two opposite her with her peripheral vision, not knowing what to say next.

At the dining table, the three of them fell into a brief silence.

Lily was the first to speak, still as silent as ever, expressionless, saying, “I don’t know how the other does it, but I just endure it.”

“What if you can’t endure it?”

“I don’t know, I always endured it.”

“???”

This succubus’s self-control is insanely strong! Not only can she hold it in, but she does it with a poker face!

Ning Chu had assumed Lily would have some tips or tricks, but it turned out she was relying purely on willpower?

No wonder, in the story, the moment the protagonist flirted with her a bit, that icy face instantly melted into an “ahegao”—holding back for so long must have worn down her resistance…

Yan Xinya leaned in close, her face flushed with excitement. “This is so… spicy~”

“…”

“If it gets too bad, why don’t you find a quiet spot to, y’know, handle it yourself?” the wolf girl suggested. “Or maybe let Wen Yang help you?!”

The way she said it, it was clear she was rooting for the second option.

Honestly, Ning Chu had barely taken the time to, well, examine her new “equipment.” She’d just hurried through showers without looking too closely.

The idea of handling it herself made her feel strangely uncomfortable.

As for asking Wen Yang to help…wouldn’t that be like walking straight into the lion’s den, offering herself up on a platter?

“Yeah, no thanks.”

She sighed heavily, rubbing her forehead in frustration as she stood up. “I’ll go pay.”

It seemed that from now on, any time she altered the storyline, she’d have to do her best to avoid crowded places, especially if there were men around.

“So, what were you cute little ladies chatting about just now?” The café owner leaned over the counter, her low-cut top revealing an ample cleavage that left Ning Chu momentarily stunned.

“Oh, nothing…”

“You never come around to see me! Don’t you know how much I miss you?” The owner was still under the impression that Ning Chu was just a particularly pretty young guy and continued to tease her as such.

Ning Chu brushed off her words, scanned to pay, and turned decisively to leave.

Once, financial freedom had been within reach, and she’d taken it for granted. Now, as a girl, that freedom had drifted out of sight entirely.

Outside the café, she looked up at the overcast sky, sighing softly.

Willpower? If she had real willpower, she wouldn’t have been writing certain kinds of novels before… If she were still a guy, she’d be happily hunting for “material” by now.

“Finished your talk? Did you learn anything?”

Wen Yang walked over slowly. “Didn’t look like you were having the greatest time.”

“Mm…a bit disappointing.” Ning Chu sighed, wondering if maybe she’d given Lily the wrong impression before and that’s why Lily hadn’t been more open with her.

Maybe she’d try adding Lily as a friend online. Conversations might flow more easily in a more relaxed setting.

“So, we heading back now?”

“Yeah, let’s go back.”

Wen Yang glanced back through the glass at Lily and Yan Xinya, who were still chatting animatedly, their heads close together.

Curiosity got the better of him. “What were you talking about in there?”

To keep Wen Yang from making any wild guesses, Ning Chu thought for a moment, then brushed him off with a vague answer. “Just girl stuff. You don’t need to know.”

“That’s the first time I’ve ever heard you refer to yourself as a girl.”

Wait, really?!
