In the end, Wuming still couldn’t save those doujinshi.
She watched as Serena put them away in the room for “safekeeping,” then returned to the living room looking thoroughly satisfied.
My books…
They died a heroic death.
Wuming lamented inwardly. But their sacrifice was worth it—
The ones she had handed over were all just bait.
The real prizes—the absolute cream-of-the-crop doujinshi—had been safely hidden by Wuming in another cabinet.
Handing some over to Serena was only to divert her attention so she wouldn’t keep searching and actually discover the true collection.
So Serena won, and Wuming also won. A world where no one got hurt had been achieved.
After the little afternoon farce, evening came quickly.
Crosti had messaged that she wouldn’t come over today because she had to handle her livestream, so it was just the two of them tonight.
After dinner, the two lolis stayed in the living room.
Serena was playing games on the sofa.
As for Wuming… she slipped on a pair of yoga pants, brought out a yoga mat from her room, and prepared to do some yoga. That’s right—Wuming knew a few yoga routines.
When her mom was home, they used to practice yoga together for fun, stretching their flexibility.
After her mom left on her trip, Wuming would still practice from time to time.
But counting on her fingers now, it had been quite a while since the last session, and she wasn’t sure she could still pull off those poses.
So she figured tonight was the perfect time to review them and relax her body and mind with some yoga.
After laying out the yoga mat, Wuming began her routine, loosening up and moving into various poses.
She spread her legs wide at times and bent at the waist at others.
Her flexibility was good enough to effortlessly do full splits, whether sitting or standing. It posed no difficulty at all.
Her mom had once said that practicing yoga could also enhance intimacy and attraction with one’s lover.
Wuming didn’t understand why her mom would say something like that.
Can yoga really have that kind of power?
Wuming didn’t know, but she knew it felt pretty good.
What she didn’t realize was the true “power” of yoga—Serena knew it all too well.
As Wuming practiced, Serena’s gaze was completely captivated.
She even paused the game in her hands and stared fixedly at Wuming doing yoga.
Indeed, watching her strike all those poses made Serena’s heart flutter.
She’s seducing me!
Serena reached that conclusion almost immediately.
She didn’t say a word, simply watching Wuming quietly and letting her imagination run wild with the movements.
Just how many different plays could we do with this later!
It was only when Wuming noticed Serena staring at her that she stopped practicing.
“What’s wrong, Serena? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“…Wuming, you really have zero self-awareness.”
Serena complained as she looked at her, which only left Wuming more confused about what the problem was.
She sat on the yoga mat and asked, “What exactly are you talking about? I don’t get it at all.”
Serena rolled her eyes at her. “You’re seducing me, Wuming.”
Serena stood up from the sofa, walked over, and sat down on the yoga mat in front of her.
“Do you know how tempting those poses you were doing are? You were being really dangerous just now~”
Serena hugged Wuming, then immediately pushed her down onto the yoga mat, pinning her hands and revealing her little fangs.
“Everything Wuming does is so tempting~”
“It makes people unable to resist wanting to pin you down and obsess over your body. Don’t you know that?”
She extended her pink tongue and licked Wuming’s cheek, her eyes filled with infatuated heart-shaped reflections as she savored Wuming’s taste.
Oh no, oh no—!
Does yoga really have this much attack power?!
Wuming panicked instantly.
This definitely looked like Serena was about to take her down.
“C-calm down, Serena!!! Remember what we talked about this afternoon? I’m not ready yet! Don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life!”
Wuming’s face flushed bright red as she stared straight into Serena’s eyes.
She tried to struggle free, but her hands were firmly held down by Serena.
“So cute. So cute, so cute, so cute…”
Serena murmured repeatedly, as if her reason was about to be swept away, yet she still hadn’t made a move on Wuming.
Wuming felt extremely embarrassed by her words and found it difficult even to speak.
Just when she thought she was about to be completely “eaten clean” by Serena, Serena suddenly pulled her hands back and moved off her.
“But Wuming doesn’t want to do that kind of thing, right? So I won’t.”
Serena still remembered their afternoon conversation clearly, so she suppressed that impulse and waited for Wuming to be ready.
“Serena…”
Seeing the expectant look on Serena’s face, Wuming felt a complicated mix of emotions.
She couldn’t help feeling like she was letting her down.
She can’t make Serena wait forever either…
Wuming secretly vowed in her heart that she would definitely live up to Serena’s expectations! And she absolutely wouldn’t drag it out indefinitely!
At that moment, Wuming suddenly suggested, “Serena, do you want to practice yoga with me?”
They were free at home anyway.
She could join her to work on flexibility and coordination together.
This suggestion clearly sparked Serena’s curiosity. After watching Wuming perform all those poses, she really wanted to try them herself.
Besides, Serena was confident in her own flexibility.
At the very least, if Wuming could do those moves, she could too!
“Sure, but how do we practice?”
Wuming was happy to hear Serena wanted to join and had already made preparations.
“Wait a second. I’ll get the ‘gear’ for you.”
With that, Wuming went back to her room and brought out another yoga mat along with a yoga outfit.
“These are my mom’s. She’s not here right now, so you can use hers for now.”
“W-wait, these?”
Hearing they belonged to Wuming’s mother, an awkward expression appeared on Serena’s face.
No matter how she thought about it, wearing her mother-in-law’s clothes felt wrong.
“I… maybe I shouldn’t change. Wearing Auntie’s clothes… that would be so awkward.”
“Mmm… yeah, that makes sense.”
Serena held Wuming’s hand. After thinking for a moment, Wuming said, “Please… wait a second, Serena. Or… how about you wear mine instead?”
A moment later, Wuming had changed into her mom’s yoga clothes and handed her own set to Serena.
Hehehehe…
Wuming’s scent~
Serena eagerly snatched Wuming’s clothes and hurried into her room to change.
For some unknown reason, after Serena went into the room, Wuming felt her hairs stand on end!
That girl wouldn’t do something shameless with my clothes, would she?!
She wouldn’t use them to… you know?!
Wuming decided she definitely needed to get those clothes back after they were done! Who knew what Serena might do with them.
Soon, Serena returned to the living room wearing Wuming’s clothes, a total fangirl expression on her face as she prepared to practice yoga with her.
“Then let’s start~”
They began with the simplest backbend.
Serena handled this part like a fish in water and could keep up with Wuming’s movements.
Next came the more difficult leg stretches and the splits.
“Mmm…”
In less than half a minute, Serena was already defeated, while Wuming remained comfortably in the full splits position.
To show off how easy it was, Wuming even demonstrated switching legs, which immediately earned her a wave of dissatisfaction from Serena!
“Again!”
Serena declared with great spirit, determined to try once more and outlast Wuming this time.
This attempt lasted longer—nearly a full minute—before she lowered her leg, but she was still no match for Wuming.
This made Wuming look even more smug!
“Mmm, not good enough, Serena~ Going down that fast won’t do~”
“You’re killing me!”
Grumbling, Serena moved closer and grabbed Wuming’s leg, forcing her to hold the splits position.
“You just stay like this!”
“D-don’t do that, Serena! I’m going to lose my balance!”
Wuming hurriedly grabbed the table to steady herself, then turned her head with a dissatisfied look at Serena behind her.
“Hey! Let go of me!”
“No—way!”
Serena dragged out her refusal, keeping Wuming in that position while tickling the sensitive spots on her thighs!
Take that—!
In the end, Serena let her go.
After teasing her enough, she was satisfied.
Seeing Wuming like this was exactly what she wanted, so she stopped there.
“Practicing yoga is so tiring. I need a break.”
But just as Serena took a step, Wuming grabbed her shoulder with a mischievous grin.
“No—you—don’t~”
Wuming drew out her words, making it clear she was going to get some revenge of her own!
“You’re not very durable, Serena~ I need to train you properly and build up your stamina!”
Serena sensed danger, but it was too late to escape.
She was then subjected to Wuming’s one-on-one stretching training. Wuming used her foot to force Serena’s legs apart nearly into full splits and made her hold the position.
“Ow ow ow ow ow—! It hurts so much!!!”
“Come on, come on. Just hold it with me for five minutes.”
Wuming said effortlessly, while Serena wore an expression of pure agony, wailing that she was wrong and wouldn’t do it again.
All of it was completely ignored by Wuming.
Finally, Serena collapsed onto the sofa like someone who had survived a disaster.
Only after teaching Serena a proper lesson did Wuming let her go. Sprawled on the sofa, Serena thought: It hurts… I’m dying here!
Meanwhile, Wuming had already changed back into her regular clothes, put away the yoga mats, and looked refreshingly at the collapsed Serena.
“Hmph. If you can’t even handle this much, there’s still plenty more in store for you later.”
“Mmm… this is basically torture.”
Wuming smiled and said nothing. She had trained like this for so long that the pain barely registered anymore.
“I’m going to shower first, Serena.”
“Okay~” Serena replied weakly.
After taking turns showering, Wuming and Serena spent the rest of the evening playing games together on the sofa before heading back to their rooms to sleep.
At least, that was what Wuming intended.
However, just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone suddenly chimed with a message notification, forcing her sleepy eyes open again.
Who is it…?
Sending messages in the middle of the night…
Wuming grumbled as she picked up her phone. It turned out to be a message from Crosti.
And the very first line in the chat window instantly wiped away all of Wuming’s drowsiness.
