Chapter 69: Ask Ning Wanciu

The new match ended just as quickly. 

Until the very last second, Ning Dongli still failed to achieve her goal.

She perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be a coward who only dared to fantasize. 

The voice she loved so much was right there, yet she didn’t dare make even the tiniest request.

And now, An Yu had had enough for the day. 

As expected, tonight Ning Dongli would once again fall asleep hugging that single old voice message.

An Yu exited the game, tapped on Ning Dongli’s chat, and began typing.

【Good Night, Sleep Well】: Next time.

An Yu’s messages were getting shorter and shorter. 

She believed Ning Dongli would understand.

They had already gone through almost all the mobile games, yet she still hadn’t found one that truly suited her…

The games she played at the arcade earlier had also been led by Ning Wanciu.

Well, even though she was a little disappointed that she wasn’t a gaming prodigy, An Yu wasn’t upset.

During the day she could play with Ning Wanciu, and at night she could play with Ning Dongli. 

Life was genuinely comfortable.

It really felt like she had transmigrated just to enjoy herself.

As expected, she should just ignore the reborn heroine. 

Let her do whatever she wanted. 

As for the upcoming birthday banquet—perfect.

An Yu could simply disappear for the whole day and leave all the An parents and everything else to An Qing. 

An Qing would probably be thrilled, right?

No rival interference, and she’d easily obtain the family affection she had always longed for.

No need to thank An Yu. 

Because An Yu was a good person—she could grant An Qing this tiny favor.

“Mm.”

An Yu nodded expressionlessly. 

It was precisely because she harbored no hatred that she could be this kind!

Learn from her, evil reborn heroine!

Of course, An Yu only dared to think this in her heart. She definitely wouldn’t court death in front of An Qing.

Oh, she never spoke to An Qing anyway. Problem solved.

【……】

When the system saw An Yu’s expression, an ominous feeling rose in its heart. 

It had a hunch its host had once again come to some wild conclusion it knew nothing about.

But asking would only get brushed off, so the system decided to treat the feeling as an illusion.

Ding—

“Hm?”

An Yu looked at her phone in confusion. Someone had messaged her.

Oh, it was Ning Dongli.

She was asking… if An Yu played PC games?

****

On the other side, after smoothly finishing the mobile game phase, Ning Dongli felt no relief—only greater anxiety. 

How could she be so useless?!

There weren’t many mobile games left, and An Yu seemed like the type who wanted to try everything once but never stick to anything.

If An Yu stopped playing mobile games, wouldn’t she be finished?

No way. She still wanted to play with An Yu!

In her panic, Ning Dongli unconsciously looked up and immediately spotted her luxurious gaming PC.

Her eyes flashed.

How could she forget—if mobile games got boring, there were always PC games!

PC games were way more comprehensive. She could drag things out for ages!

And more conveniently than mobile, she could run voice software in the background and talk to An Yu directly!

So Ning Dongli made her move!

【Listen to Something Nice】: An Yu, do you play PC games?

After sending that trembling message, Ning Dongli stared intently at her phone screen, waiting with bated breath for An Yu’s reply.

…

“Gulp.” She swallowed nervously.

Ding—

“It’s here!”

Ning Dongli yelped, then looked at An Yu’s message.

【Good Night, Sleep Well】: No.

“Wuu… no way…” 

Ning Dongli slumped in disappointment. 

Was the plan she’d just thought of already dead?

【Good Night, Sleep Well】: I don’t have a computer.

An Yu really didn’t. 

The original owner was a half-caveman who didn’t even set a phone passcode, let alone buy a computer.

“Hmm…”

Ning Dongli fell into thought. 

Good news: the reason An Yu didn’t play PC games was that she didn’t have a PC. Bad news: An Yu didn’t have a PC.

After a brief silence, she gently tapped the screen.

【Listen to Something Nice】: Then… if you had a computer, would you play with me?

She didn’t have one? No problem—she could gift An Yu an entire setup!

And money? She actually had plenty.

To escape her old home, she had long been monetizing her insane gaming talent.

Holed up in her little dark room, she had grinded games for nearly a year—boosting, silent carry, escort services—she was a master at all of them.

Now that her big sister was supporting her and she had almost no expenses, she had saved up quite a bit.

Enough to fully deck out a rig for An Yu, no problem. 

So the only real question was whether An Yu simply didn’t want to play and was using the lack of a computer as an excuse.

They went to the same school as Ning Wanciu—money wasn’t an issue.

If An Yu rejected her, all that cash would be useless…

Ding—

Hearing the notification, Ning Dongli nervously squeezed her eyes shut. 

She was almost scared to look at the reply.

What if…

After a long moment, she cracked one eye open and secretly peeked at the screen.

Her vision was blurry, but under the light she could make out An Yu’s reply. 

Just one word…

【Good Night, Sleep Well】: Yes.

“YES!!!!”

Ning Dongli’s eyes snapped open. She jumped on her bed in excitement.

“Dongli?!” 

Ning Wanciu’s voice came from outside—apparently she’d been too loud.

“Cough, sorry sis, I’m fine!”

After brushing off her sister, Ning Dongli held her phone with trembling hands and typed, letter by letter…

【Listen to Something Nice】: An Yu, if you had a computer, would you prefer a portable one you can carry around, or a stronger desktop? Also… could you tell me your home address?

She wasn’t some dumb blockhead. Even in her excitement, Ning Dongli knew you needed an address for delivery.

If she was going to buy An Yu a computer, she had to ask properly!

***

On the other side, looking at Ning Dongli’s questions, An Yu tilted her head in confusion.

Why was Ning Dongli suddenly asking for her address?

That was weird.

She had heard in her previous life that people sometimes hijacked accounts to steal personal info. 

Had Ning Dongli been hacked?

Probably… not?

Ning Dongli looked like a total internet pro; she shouldn’t get hacked. 

But even if she did, it didn’t matter—An Yu had no idea how to describe her home address anyway.

And the message was so long…

An Yu expressionlessly pressed the voice message button. Too lazy to type.

“I like… convenient ones.” 

An Yu paused, sent it, then immediately sent another: “Address—ask Ning Wanciu. She knows.”

Ning Wanciu really did know—she had walked An Yu home twice and was familiar with place names in this world. 

No problem.
