Chen Yu could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
He had actually witnessed in real life a relationship that only appeared in manga.
No matter what, he had to lend the two of them a hand.
Especially since he had recently become obsessed with sister-themed manga.
Every time he saw those awkward interactions, Chen Yu couldn’t help but let out an auntie smile.
But first, he had to restrain his enthusiastic heart and stay calm so as not to scare An Yu.
Chen Yu tried his best to maintain a gentle posture and slowly spoke.
“You don’t need to worry about how I know. You just need to know that I can help you ease your relationship with An Qing.”
Chen Yu believed that by saying this, An Yu would definitely understand.
Since one of the parties involved had agreed, things would be simple.
He had matchmaking so many couples before; he believed this time he could also overcome all difficulties.
An Yu blinked expressionlessly.
The doubt in her heart grew even stronger.
She secretly asked the system in her mind.
‘System, besides An Qing, is there anyone else in this world who knows the plot?’
Chen Yu was acting far too strange.
He came right out and said he wanted to ease her relationship with An Qing, as if he also knew the plot.
【Replying to host: In this world, the only ones who know the plot are the host and An Qing. There is no third person who knows the plot.】
Well, at most add the system itself, but the system didn’t count as a person.
However, this was rather odd.
So what exactly was Chen Yu trying to do?
An Yu tilted her head and fell into silent contemplation…
Contemplating where Big Pillow had run off to.
She had clearly seen Big Pillow just now.
How did she vanish in the blink of an eye?
“Uh… An Yu?”
Being stared at by An Yu’s completely emotionless gaze made Chen Yu’s scalp tingle.
He awkwardly scratched his head.
“Not needed.”
“As expected… you… huh, n-no, not needed?”
“Mm.”
Whether he actually knew the plot or had reincarnated like An Qing, what did that have to do with her, An Yu?
Saying he’d help ease her relationship with An Qing…
She didn’t want to deal with it.
She was afraid of being stabbed to death by An Qing.
“Goodbye.”
After speaking, An Yu took advantage of Chen Yu’s stunned moment and slipped away from him once again.
If she didn’t run now, Chen Yu would start going on about An Qing this and An Qing that again.
Wasn’t he afraid of having nightmares at night from hearing that name so many times?!
“Hey, hey, hey!”
Chen Yu, who had never expected An Yu to just bolt, instinctively reached out his hand, but it was too late.
His hand hung in mid-air, failing to grab An Yu.
However, although An Yu had run off, he had no intention of continuing to follow her because…
He now felt like there were thorns in his back. Certain people’s gazes were truly a bit frightening. If he kept this up, he would be misunderstood.
After experiencing so many things, Chen Yu deeply understood that as a man, simply interacting with one half of a yuri couple could easily lead to misunderstandings from the other half.
Although sometimes, such a role was quite useful—jealousy could also be a catalyst for feelings.
It just required Chen Yu to make some sacrifices, which he was happy to do.
But the pair of sisters before him was very different.
Chen Yu lowered his suspended arm, adjusted his facial expression, and acted as if everything was normal.
He turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
There stood several people: the An family parents, his younger brother Chen Guang, and… An Qing.
An Qing was wearing a gentle and elegant smile as she chatted leisurely, seeming to get along very well with Chen Guang.
“Tch…”
Chen Yu smacked his tongue in annoyance. He now knew that his initial thoughts weren’t actually wrong.
There were indeed people trying to curry favor with the Chen family’s status, but it wasn’t An Qing—it was the An family parents.
Tugging at his tie, Chen Yu walked toward them, a faint smile on his face.
He knew why An Yu said there was no need to ease things.
It was definitely because An Qing had chosen to sacrifice herself and spoke out of anger!
In other words, there was originally no problem between them.
The problem lay with the people around them.
And…
Looking at Chen Guang, who was saying something to An Qing, a sharp glint flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes.
Exhaustion, disgust—An Qing’s mouth kept uttering extremely formulaic words.
“Yes, thank you for your praise. And thank you, Young Master Chen, for attending my recognition banquet.”
She kept exchanging false pleasantries with Chen Guang, constantly saying flattering words.
She had no choice.
While she was in the bathroom, Chen Guang had approached the An family parents.
An Qing could not brush off Chen Guang in front of the An family parents, nor could she easily escape.
She needed their trust because it still wasn’t time to reveal everything.
The only thing An Qing wanted to do was seize everything An Yu had possessed and trusted in her previous life, then destroy it all with her own hands right in front of her.
But… this was harder than she had imagined. Unlike An Yu, she actually wasn’t good at acting at all.
Unlike An Yu, who had acted for an entire lifetime and could deceive her so easily.
Endurance—this was the only thing she needed to do.
She could act in front of anyone, but solely Chen Guang—she absolutely could not accept Chen Guang.
In her previous life, the person An Yu cared about the most was probably this very man in front of her.
“Aiya, Young Master Chen, thank you once again for gracing us with your presence. You’ve truly made this banquet shine!” An Yunfan said fawningly.
“Hehe, not at all, you’re too kind.”
Chen Guang smiled and shook his head.
“At the very least, today I’m just an insignificant small character. There’s no doubt that the protagonist of this banquet is Miss An Qing.”
After speaking, Chen Guang turned to look at An Qing.
At this moment, An Qing was wearing a red gown, paired with those ruby-like red pupils, giving off an extremely striking sense of stunning beauty.
A flash of desire crossed Chen Guang’s eyes. He had to admit, An Qing was very beautiful.
He was very satisfied, so he could accept this marriage arrangement.
“Ahahaha, Young Master Chen is right. Our family’s An Qing is indeed the protagonist of this banquet. But how could Young Master Chen be a small character? As the saying goes, the protagonist deserves another protagonist!”
Chen Guang slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He didn’t refute it.
Of course he had never considered himself a small character; he had just said that casually.
An Yunfan’s flattering words made him very satisfied.
At the same time, he understood An Yunfan’s hint.
He wanted to promote the marriage with the Chen family, but this matter couldn’t be brought up by Chen Guang.
“By the way, in a few days our family will also hold a family banquet. At that time, I’d like to invite Miss An Qing to come and have fun. What does Miss An Qing think?”
He once again extended an invitation to An Qing, yet just like last time, he received no response.
“Miss An Qing?”
The man’s gentle and refined voice pulled An Qing out of her reverie.
She subconsciously looked up, put on a warm smile as if nothing had happened, and a strand of hair slipped down beside her ear.
“Is something the matter?”
Chen Guang instinctively reached out his hand, wanting to tuck that strand of hair behind her ear.
