Deterioration (Lily ABO) - Chapter 7

Huo Ci thought she’d always be a bystander in Huo Ningxian’s love life and even her entire life, but recent events gave her hope.

Huo Ningxian surely liked her too, and her feelings for Tang Xiao, that rich heiress, couldn’t be serious.

So Huo Ci kept waiting for Huo Ningxian and Tang Xiao to break up.

She thought the day would come soon, but to her surprise, she only witnessed their sweet moments over and over.

Unable to stay silent, Huo Ci finally spoke up on a rare night when Huo Ningxian stayed home.

“Come in,” Huo Ningxian said.

When Huo Ci entered, Huo Ningxian was still working hard at her laptop.

Huo Ci placed a cup of warmed milk beside her.

“Sis, take a break. You’ve been working since you got home.”

“I can’t. This report’s due tomorrow.”

“Sis, where have you been these nights?”

Though she didn’t want to disturb Huo Ningxian’s work, she couldn’t hold back.

If she didn’t talk to her tonight, she’d lose sleep for days.

Huo Ningxian answered while typing, “Tang Xiao’s place. She’s been sick, so I’ve been taking care of her.”

“Sis, I shouldn’t meddle in your love life, but don’t you see how disgusting Tang Xiao is? She wanted the three of us to… and that day, she even tried to kiss me…”

Huo Ningxian’s typing stopped abruptly.

“I’m sorry, Xiao Ci…”

Huo Ci’s tears fell silently, her trembling voice betraying her.

“Sis, I know we can’t be together, but you should at least be with someone who truly loves you.”

Hearing Huo Ci’s sobs, Huo Ningxian turned, slid her chair to Huo Ci.

“Xiao Ci, you’re still young and don’t understand some things. Give me some time, okay? I can’t break up with Tang Xiao yet.”

Huo Ci gathered her courage.

“Sis, I love you. Not as a sister, but as an Alpha loves an Omega. Do you love me, Sis?”

Her little sister, whom she raised, confessed to her.

Huo Ningxian felt a mix of sourness and sweetness.

“I know…”

But she was past the age of living for love alone.

“Xiao Ci, go to bed early.”

After not visiting Huo Ningxian’s home for a while, Tang Xiao suggested dropping by, and Huo Ningxian agreed.

She knew Tang Xiao’s “visit” meant s3x, and though she was reluctant, she couldn’t refuse.

Tang Xiao was her benefactor in every sense.

Before entering, Huo Ningxian pleaded.

“Tang Xiao, can you not touch Xiao Ci?”

Tang Xiao smiled casually.

“Sure, but what if she touches me?”

Huo Ningxian expected Tang Xiao to act immediately upon entering, but she didn’t.

Instead, she sat on the couch watching a cheesy idol drama, something Huo Ningxian stopped watching after college.

She couldn’t fathom what the CEO of the Tang empire saw in it.

Over an hour later, Huo Ci returned.

Tang Xiao acted more enthusiastic than Huo Ningxian, even offering to cook.

Huo Ningxian and Huo Ci exchanged confused looks, unsure of Tang Xiao’s intentions.

Unable to dissuade her, they let Tang Xiao cook.

Surprisingly, the CEO’s cooking was impressive and tasty.

Huo Ningxian genuinely praised her.

Huo Ci stayed stone-faced throughout.

Tang Xiao didn’t mind and even served Huo Ci food with chopsticks.

Huo Ci deliberately left the food Tang Xiao served untouched.

While cleaning up, Tang Xiao’s clothes got dirty.

Huo Ningxian offered her own clothes, but Tang Xiao insisted on washing hers and wandered around in just a bra until they dried.

Huo Ci came out for water but, seeing Tang Xiao’s large br3asts, retreated in shock.

Behind the closed door, Huo Ci was rattled.

How could an Alpha have such big br3asts? Was that fair?

She glanced at her own, feeling inferior.

Would Huo Ningxian prefer big or small ones?

Tang Xiao cooked dinner for Huo Ningxian and Huo Ci for several days, always bringing high-end ingredients.

The Huo family’s background was modest, and though Huo Ningxian’s efforts improved their life, it paled compared to Tang Xiao’s wealth.

No one disliked gourmet food, especially not premium cuisine.

Though Huo Ci disliked Tang Xiao, she didn’t mind her presence as much, thanks to the food.

Lately, Tang Xiao seemed different, avoiding intimacy with Huo Ningxian when Huo Ci was around.

Tang Xiao’s recent behavior troubled Huo Ci.

She opposed their relationship, believing Tang Xiao wasn’t serious about Huo Ningxian.

But after observing, she wondered if she misjudged her.

Tang Xiao seemed attentive to Huo Ningxian.

Though Huo Ningxian never mentioned it, Huo Ci noticed Tang Xiao bought her expensive gifts—items Huo Ci couldn’t afford.

Despite her academic excellence and admission to a top university, Huo Ci knew she could never match Tang Xiao’s wealth.

Tang Xiao and Huo Ningxian had no bl00d ties, so they could marry openly and have children.

She gave Huo Ningxian a normal, complete family—something Huo Ci couldn’t offer.

Had she been wrong?

Did Tang Xiao involve her to make her give up her feelings for Huo Ningxian?

Yet Huo Ci fell deeper.

She felt she was holding Huo Ningxian back.

“What’re you thinking about so seriously?” a voice asked.

Huo Ci, in the bathroom, jumped.

She’d taken a break from class to use the empty restroom.

Lost in thought, someone suddenly appeared close, standing at the next urinal, greeting her.

She was so startled she couldn’t pee.

Seeing it was Tang Xiao, Huo Ci froze.

“Tang Xiao? Why are you here?”

Tang Xiao, unzipping her pants, glanced at Huo Ci’s crotch.

“Business. Your school’s buying new AC units from my company.”

She finished speaking but kept staring at Huo Ci’s crotch, adding, “Didn’t look closely before, but it’s pretty big soft. You’re well-developed, little sister.”

What was Tang Xiao saying?

They were at school, both Alphas with the same parts. Why stare so much?

Unable to pee, Huo Ci gave up.

As she tried to leave, her zipper stuck.

Tang Xiao, done, watched her struggle.

Tang Xiao asked, “What’s wrong? Zipper stuck?”

She could see it but stayed to humiliate her?

What a jinx, Huo Ci cursed inwardly.

But Tang Xiao, ignoring her embarrassment, squatted and fixed the zipper effortlessly.

Instead of zipping it up, she kissed Huo Ci’s bulging panties, leaving a red lipstick mark.

“You… pervert!” Huo Ci hurriedly zipped up, fastened her pants, and ran.

Back in class, Huo Ci’s face stayed red, her heart racing, unable to calm down.

Tang Xiao was such a pervert.

They were both Alphas, and kissing her face was bad enough, especially since people said Huo Ci looked like an Omega.

But kissing her c0ck? That was too much!

Tang Xiao’s actions scared Huo Ci, but the image of her red lips on her panties lingered.

That moment, and the glimpse of Tang Xiao’s large br3asts, kept haunting Huo Ci’s dreams.
