Helpless tears streamed down Lily Liu’s face. The intense pain, and the fact that she couldn’t even struggle, wrapped her mind in endless fear. At the same time, she couldn’t make sense of it at all.

Why did this happen?

Lulu Lu had clearly said those things...

And she had clearly gone along with it...

Clearly, as long as she waited for Lulu Lu to take her out of the house, she would’ve been free again...

So why had Lulu Lu suddenly become so cold, so bloodthirsty?

Could it be that she had slipped up somewhere? That Lulu Lu had realized she never truly meant to go with her, and had only pretended to obey while looking for a chance to escape?

When people are terrified to the extreme, their thoughts tend to spiral.

The more Lily Liu thought about it, the more certain she became. She must have exposed her true intentions through some earlier action. Lulu Lu must have realized she wanted to run. Her face turned paler and paler.

If that was really the case, then things were truly awful...

From the moment she was imprisoned, Lily Liu had never once given up on finding a way out.

No matter what she said or did to Lulu Lu, and no matter what Lulu Lu said or did to her, that thought had never weakened much.

But that didn’t mean every word Lily Liu had said to Lulu Lu was a lie.

On the contrary, most of it had been the truth. Lily Liu really did love Lulu Lu deeply. But she was just as stubborn as Lulu Lu, and she had her own bottom line. She couldn’t accept being treated like a toy by Lulu Lu. Even if she wanted to be with her, she couldn’t accept being with her like this.

Only during that period when her mentality had completely collapsed had Lily Liu briefly crossed her own line and said many humiliating things. But once she regained her senses, she adjusted quickly. She decided to play along, pretend to submit to Lulu Lu, and wait for another chance.

What she never expected was that, just when success seemed right in front of her, it would still dissolve into nothing. Lulu Lu’s attitude had suddenly done a complete one-eighty. She became cold and forceful, so rough, so unfamiliar.

Lily Liu’s tears wouldn’t stop falling. Fear, humiliation, dread, and despair surfaced on her face, twisting together into a pitiful, distorted expression.

“Ah, sorry. Did I bite too hard? I’m so sorry~”

As if noticing the change in her childhood friend’s expression, Lulu Lu suddenly stopped sucking and revealed a sickly smile.

“But Lily’s blood tastes so intoxicating~”

Then, under Lily Liu’s horrified gaze, Lulu Lu stuck out her little tongue and licked her cheek. After that, she cupped her own face and said with a flushed expression,

“I really want to eat Lily up, little by little~♡ From skin to flesh, from flesh to organs, from organs to bones~♡”

“Hey, Lily, you must be delicious, right? Even your blood is this sweet. So the rest of your body, no matter which part, must taste amazing too, right?”

As she spoke, Lulu Lu casually dragged her fingernails across Lily Liu’s body, tracing lines over her skin. Every now and then, she secretly poked her a couple of times too.

After hearing those words, Lily Liu trembled all over in terror.

Maybe in the past, she never would have believed threats like that.

But now it was different.

Lulu Lu had already become someone Lily Liu didn’t recognize at all. In her eyes, she had gone completely insane. At this point, anything was possible for her.

Driven by pure survival instinct, Lily Liu cried as she trembled and said,

“Lulu, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”

A trace of a smile flashed through Lulu Lu’s eyes, so faint it was hard to notice. Tilting her head, she asked back,

“Oh my, but Lily hasn’t done anything to wrong me, so why are you apologizing?”

After saying that, Lulu Lu smiled and took hold of Lily Liu’s handcuffed hands, examining them carefully.

“Mmm~ Lily’s fingers are so cute. They look delicious~”

Lily Liu’s body shook even harder. She kept saying,

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I was wrong. Lulu, I was really wrong. I’m sorry. Please, don’t do this...”

“Did Lily do anything wrong? How come I don’t know about it~” Lulu Lu said on purpose.

“I was wrong... I shouldn’t have thought about it, shouldn’t have thought about running away. I was wrong, I was wrong...”

“Oh? Thought about running away?”

Lulu Lu’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

“Lily, you wanted to run?”

The moment Lily Liu saw that look in her eyes, she was startled again. She instinctively shook her head.

“No... that’s not what I meant...”

“Oh my, then does Lily mean she never thought about escaping at all?”

Lulu Lu savored the pleasure of tormenting Lily Liu’s mind over and over, smiling as she said,

“Mmm, would Lily’s fingers smell better deep-fried, or steamed? Or maybe~ they’d taste even better as sashimi?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lulu Lu took out a small knife she had prepared in advance. Without another word, she sliced across the pad of Lily Liu’s left index finger.

Szzzt.

Bright red blood seeped out. The cut wasn’t very deep, but fingertips were painfully sensitive. The pain Lily Liu felt was absolutely real.

Lily Liu was so terrified that she wet herself. Liquid ran down through her panties and along her thighs. The bath she had just taken had been for nothing.

At that moment, every last mental defense Lily Liu had was torn to shreds. Extreme fear and terror left her with no doubt at all about Lulu Lu’s threats. The only thought left in her mind was to beg the devil in front of her for mercy, just to save her finger.

Lily Liu cried so hard she could barely breathe, pleading,

“Lulu, spare me... sob... I won’t do it again, I really won’t...”

“Won’t do what?” Lulu Lu quietly examined Lily Liu’s injured finger and asked, enunciating each word.

“Run away. I won’t think about running away again... I belong to Lulu. I’m your possession. I’m your object. I’m your slave. I’m your pet... Whatever you say I am, that’s what I am. I won’t dare resist ever again. Please let me go, Lulu, I’m begging you, I’m begging you! I’m begging you... Don’t, don’t cut off my finger... sob...”

After hearing those words, Lulu Lu finally showed a satisfied smile.

“Lily.”

Lulu Lu reached out and patted Lily Liu’s head, smoothing her hair back. Her tone turned gentle again, just like before.

“You’re too naive.”

Lulu Lu lightly licked the wound on Lily Liu’s finger, tasting the blood.

“You’re the person I love most. How could I really hurt you?”

“From beginning to end, I was only scaring you, Lily.”

“But you admitted with your own mouth that you wanted to leave me. That breaks the promise you made before. So as punishment for being naughty—”

Lulu Lu sat down on the bed, then dragged the crying Lily Liu over and pressed her across her lap.

Right after that, Lulu Lu lifted her short skirt and pulled off her panties. With her left hand, she pinned her childhood friend by the waist, then raised her right hand and aimed at Lily Liu’s round butt.

“Lily, I’m going to punish you hard. And the punishment is a spanking~♡”

“Every time I hit you, you have to count it out loud. Too fast or too slow doesn’t count. Got it?”

Lily Liu still hadn’t recovered from everything that had just happened. She nodded mechanically and said,

“G-Got it...”

“Heh...”

Lulu Lu smiled, then deliberately started muttering to herself,

“When is Lily’s birthday again? Oh~ March 5th. And mine is May 3rd.”

“So let’s make it eighty-eight spanks. Hey, Lily, don’t you think that number sounds nice and lucky?”
