Chapter 33: A Lucky Draw and a Fridge Fiasco

“Draw, draw…”

“Everyone who bought something can join the raffle!”

“Mall opening event… don’t miss out! TVs, washing machines… air conditioners… all up for grabs, free!”

Right after checkout,

A raffle booth popped up at the entrance. Luo Su tilted her head—no such thing when she arrived. A new scam?

“Test your luck?”

Gao Ye waved his receipt eagerly. “It’s free. If it’s a trap, we bounce—” He flexed confidently, knuckles cracking. “If they try forcing us… heh.”

Luo Su: “…”

Glancing at Gao Ye’s solid biceps, she nodded enviously—with a muscle bodyguard…

No fear of traps.

So, Luo Su followed, mostly curious. Her first mall opening event…

Kinda novel.

“Fourth prize! A pack of tissues!”

The host shouted enthusiastically, but years of scam stories kept the crowd lukewarm, barely anyone approaching.

Then Gao Ye stepped up!

Brandishing his receipt like he’d won millions… Luo Su backed away, tail curling in disdain—not with him, nope, not at all…

“Luo Su, come on!”

Gao Ye waved eagerly.

“…” Luo Su dragged herself over, head drooping glumly. So weird…

The host, seeing two students,

Breathed relief. He was paid for this—failing would be a headache. Grabbing the box, he hurried over.

“Two students.”

He adjusted the mic, explaining to the crowd, “With a receipt, you can draw! Under 100 yuan, one draw; over 100, two.”

“Got it!” Gao Ye nodded.

He checked his spending… wait?! Stunned, he’d earned 80 yuan but spent over 100 at the supermarket! Worked for nothing?!

With a tiny grudge,

His hand dove into the box, slyly picking a corner slip.

“This one!”

He pulled it confidently. The host sighed, “Our young friend’s luck isn’t great—consolation prize, tissues~”

Gao Ye: “…”

“Quick note,” the host added, seeing the crowd thin. “Consolation prizes are the fewest… just this student’s luck…”

Gao Ye: “??!”

“Haha…” Luo Su giggled uncontrollably. Classic Gao Ye, total non-lucky, deserved it for his recent antics.

“You try!”

Gao Ye couldn’t take it—what “student’s luck”?! He was lucky, okay! And Luo Su, so mean.

“Fine, I’ll do it.”

After Gao Ye’s flop, Luo Su figured it was legit. Free tissues? Why not!

She grabbed a slip randomly.

“Second prize! A fridge!!!” The host’s voice cracked, drawing back the departing crowd.

Luo Su: “…?”

Gao Ye: “????!!”

“Cough…” Gao Ye patted her shoulder guiltily. “Bro, my draw’s on you.”

Go, lucky star!

Luo Su’s mouth twitched, carefully feeling the box. One slip… felt damp. She pulled it out.

“First prize, an air conditioner!”

The host’s hand shook—stunned. Just starting, and the prizes were gone?

“Holy—awesome!”

Gao Ye hugged Luo Su, shaking her. “Down, down, stop shaking!” She clamped her tail, nearly exposed!

“Ohhh!”

Gao Ye, red-faced with excitement, knew his bro was a luck god—let her draw on purpose.

“Hmph…”

Luo Su was thrilled too. A fridge! Sell it for tons of candy money!

“Um, students.”

The host, now behind the prizes, said sheepishly, “We don’t deliver… need us to call an adult?”

“No problem!”

Knowing Luo Su’s parents weren’t around, Gao Ye spoke up. “I’ll get someone to deliver it!”

Luo Su: “…”

“It’s settled!” Gao Ye declared.

…

At her cramped rental, Luo Su realized—where’d the fridge go?!

“Phew…”

“Put it in my room…” she sighed. It’s here, might as well use it. Plus, Gao Ye got her a bunch of drinks.

After a wait,

She entered her room. Good grief, the fridge sat left of her bed… barely any space by the window now.

“…”

Maybe no fridge was better. Sighing, she plugged it in, curiously peeking inside.

“So weird…”

She had a fridge at home, but an empty one? First time.

“Let’s see,

What to put…” Luo Su scanned her tiny room. “Hulu, your new cat bed!”

She teased.

“Meow.” Hulu flicked its tail.

Turning away, ignoring its master. It was a cat, but it knew dogs—especially dumb ones.

“…”

Seeing Hulu ignore her, Luo Su pouted, stuffing Gao Ye’s drinks into the fridge.

“Still so empty…”

It bugged her—empty fridges looked so awkward!

Blinking,

A lightbulb hit. She shut the door—out of sight! Hehe, genius!

“But…”

“I promised those bad women today…”

Luo Su slumped.

Sprawled on her bed,

Tail swaying outside, she thought… maybe a bath first? Her face reddened.

Lately,

Baths felt… less than proper. “Phew… I, Luo Su, am a proper succubus!” She clenched her fists, grabbed a dress, and… headed to the bathroom.

“Mhm…”

Warm water rinsed her slender tail, making her shiver. Realizing it felt good—

“Luo Su, you’re fallen!”

She raised her head, then paused: Wait… she’s Su Xi now!

Su Xi’s fall… what’s that to Luo Su?

With that, her tail honestly wrapped the body wash bottle, white liquid slippery…
