At first, the sliding speed was very slow — even slower than walking.
An Li could easily maintain her balance.
Under the pull of gravity, the board gradually picked up speed.
She began to feel a warm breeze brushing lightly across her cheeks.
Seeing that An Li seemed to have gotten the hang of it, the others also sat on their own small sandboards and slid down the dune one after another.
The boards left trails of varying depths across the smooth surface of the sand dune.
“Big Sister, I’m coming over~!”
Su Xiaowei adjusted her sliding path and gradually drifted closer to Su Xiaocheng.
“Huh? Don’t come over! We’re going to crash, nya!”
Su Xiaocheng saw the distance between them shrinking rapidly and had already reached a rather dangerous point.
Noticing their increasing speed, Lu Yinxi called out from the side, “Be careful! Don’t hit each other!”
“O-okay, I’ll control the distance… Huh? Why am I getting closer and closer?”
Su Xiaowei tried to steer, but her direction seemed to have completely escaped her control.
“Ehhh?!”
Su Xiaocheng panicked and tried to dodge.
However, this was both girls’ first time playing something like this.
Controlling direction was still far too difficult for them.
Just as they were about to collide, Su Xiaocheng let go of the handrails in desperation and pushed out with both hands.
Her palms landed squarely on Su Xiaowei’s chest and shoved her away with force.
Before either of them could even process the sensation, they separated on impact.
Although they avoided crashing into each other, both completely lost their balance.
Su Xiaowei flipped over first. Fortunately, she had her “airbags” to cushion the fall and avoided the tragic fate of face-planting into the sand.
She carved two deep grooves into the dune before finally coming to a stop seven or eight meters later.
Su Xiaocheng tried her best to stay upright and managed not to flip, but her sliding direction had become rather unfortunate.
Hearing the commotion behind her, An Li turned around — only to see Su Xiaocheng rapidly bearing down on her.
“Huh? Wait, wait, wait!”
Unfortunately, the laws of physics did not allow for waiting.
The two collided.
At the last moment, Su Xiaocheng hugged An Li.
Together, they flew off the sandboard and rolled several times down the dune while clinging to each other.
“Mmm… Teacher An, that was a bit painful.”
Su Xiaocheng let go and rubbed her chest, which had been jabbed rather uncomfortably.
What’s so great about being big? Did she eat your family’s rice or something?
Countless thoughts ran through An Li’s mind, but in the end she opened her mouth and said nothing.
There was nothing she could say. After all… she really was flat.
“Big Sister!”
Su Xiaowei came flying over.
“Xiaocheng, Teacher An, are you two okay?”
Lu Yinxi also braked to a stop beside them.
“We’re fine. It’s just sand, so it doesn’t hurt much when you fall.”
Su Xiaocheng still gave An Li some face.
[Melody · Wind]
A gentle breeze blew the sand off both of them.
However, the sand that had gotten inside their clothes would have to be dealt with later.
“There’s a small oasis up ahead. We can go there to wash up,” Li Yanyan suggested as she came over.
“It’s fine. We can just use magic to clean up.”
“No. It’s better to wash properly,” Su Xiaowei objected righteously.
“Big Sister, to express my apology, let me help you scrub your back!”
I bet you just want to get railed again.
Su Xiaocheng grumbled inwardly.
Ever since she had claimed Lu Yinxi’s first kill, Su Xiaocheng felt her confidence had grown considerably.
Her offensive spirit increased day by day.
Even when facing Lu Yinxi alone, she was no longer completely suppressed from start to finish.
As for Su Xiaowei, who was already at the very bottom of the food chain?
Anyway, no matter who went at her, it was casual.
She had long since become everyone’s Xing Nu Li, nya! Though she herself seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.
The group arrived at the small oasis Li Yanyan had mentioned. The environment really wasn’t bad.
Finding such a patch of life in the middle of the desert was no easy feat.
The lake water was also very clear. Faintly, one could even see a few small fish swimming inside.
For some reason, however, there was an irregular, shallow sand pit at the edge of the pond, making the water depth in that area noticeably different from the surroundings.
Looking at the somewhat familiar little pit, Li Yanyan slightly turned her head to avoid Su Xiaocheng and the others noticing her faintly flushed cheeks.
By coincidence, Desert Fox happened to be standing in the direction she turned.
She even provocatively wagged her tail.
“A-Are we really going to wash like this?” An Li looked rather embarrassed.
If they were going to bathe, wasn’t there a bit too many people around?
“Don’t be so shy. We’re all girls. What’s the big deal?”
Desert Fox casually took off her sports tank top and shorts and was the first to enter the water.
Her large tail floated on the surface before gradually getting wet and sinking.
Desert Fox stretched her body comfortably in the water, her S-shaped curves fully displayed.
An Li lowered her head, unable to bring herself to look at Desert Fox.
She wanted to avoid feeling inferior.
At the same time, she began using her limited social knowledge to handle this unprecedented situation.
“If this were a manga… Yes, if this were a manga!”
A brilliant light suddenly burst from An Li’s eyes.
Relying on her only source of social knowledge, she had found the solution to the current situation!
She calmly took off her white researcher’s robe.
To be honest, wearing something this heavy in this weather was really hot.
She had already been sweating for a while.
She unbuttoned her shirt and skirt, then removed her stockings right in front of everyone without the slightest hesitation before stepping into the water with graceful steps.
“Huh? She actually went in just like that?”
Even Desert Fox, who had been encouraging An Li to be bolder, hadn’t expected her to actually enter the water.
“Huh? Bear pattern? I didn’t expect Teacher An’s style to be so cute… It’s just… it really is as flat as it looks.”
Su Xiaocheng thought to herself.
The slightly cool lake water suddenly cleared An Li’s head.
Once she realized what she had just done, everyone’s gazes suddenly felt unbearably hot.
“Aaaahhhh! What did I just do?!”
An Li violently buried her face underwater.
“Uh… She doesn’t seem as calm as she looked.”
Since even An Li had gone into the water, the others no longer cared either.
They quickly changed out of their clothes and jumped in one after another.
An Li secretly observed everyone, then tragically discovered that she really was the only exception among them.
“Even Lu Shiyuan is bigger than me…? Maybe I should put my research on hold for now and develop a drug that promotes growth instead?”
An Li once again had the thought she had considered more than once before.
“Big Sister, I’ll scrub your back for you~” Su Xiaowei approached Su Xiaocheng with a mischievous grin.
Su Xiaocheng calmly reached out and skillfully ran her hand over Su Xiaowei’s body.
“Mmm?! Big Sister?!”
Su Xiaowei instantly broke down and collapsed into Su Xiaocheng’s arms, splashing water everywhere.
“Tch. Small fry.”
Su Xiaocheng curled her lip with a look of disdain.
Defeating Su Xiaowei now no longer gave her any sense of achievement.
