Chapter 76: Different

Shen Huahua’s punishment lasted until the end of first period. 

When she finally returned to her seat, An Yu still showed no intention of acknowledging her.

Shen Huahua was on the verge of tears. 

This was truly “losing the lady and suffering the soldier” on top of it.

She turned to look at An Qing and happened to meet her gaze.

An Qing was smiling gently as always, but for some reason Shen Huahua found that smile terrifying.

Waaah, what do I do now?!

Shen Huahua anxiously rubbed her fingers together. 

She wanted to talk to An Yu first, but An Yu was completely ignoring her.

Could it be… she had truly fallen into a pit?!

Please no—don’t let the matchmaking fail and end with both sides hating her!

Besides the two involved parties, one other person had witnessed the entire scene.

That person was Cheng Shimumeng.

At that moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly watching An Yu from the back row. 

Then she glanced at the dejected Shen Huahua beside her, and the corners of her mouth curved into a pleased arc.

Looks like someone else had gotten into some kind of trouble with An Yu.

Now… what could it be?

Cheng Shimumeng lightly touched her lips, then quietly shifted her gaze to An Qing on the other side.

She looked at An Qing’s back with deep meaning, unknown thoughts swirling in her mind, before quickly looking away again.

This was getting really interesting.

As expected, getting to know An Yu had been the right choice.

Last night, after much hesitation, Cheng Shimumeng finally added that person whose username was 【Sisters Are Right】 as a friend.

She really was curious what profound insight this person wanted to share with her.

After adding them, Cheng Shimumeng had a brief, casual chat.

Unexpectedly, the other party really did have a lot of insight into this area. 

Aside from very obviously mistaking her for Ning Wanciu, there was nothing else wrong.

She didn’t bother correcting them.

It didn’t matter—many people did like to use “I have a friend” when talking about themselves.

Being misunderstood was normal; she was too lazy to explain.

This netizen named 【Sisters Are Right】 seemed to have seen a lot of girl-on-girl relationships; otherwise they wouldn’t understand so well.

After concealing Ning Wanciu’s real information, Cheng Shimumeng roughly described the situation.

She told them everything: how Ning Wanciu would blush after being suddenly hugged, how she’d get shy when teased, and so on.

【Sisters Are Right】’s analysis was that Ning Wanciu most likely harbored feelings for An Yu that went beyond friendship, while An Yu’s feelings were very hard to read.

According to them, An Yu’s personality was extremely tricky—there was a natural airhead component, making it nearly impossible to confirm whether she held romantic interest toward Ning Wanciu.

However, afterward they still treated Cheng Shimumeng as Ning Wanciu and offered some comfort.

They believed that since An Yu only let Ning Wanciu get close, even if there were no romantic feelings, Ning Wanciu was definitely someone special to her.

As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first. 

Since no one else could even get near An Yu, only Ning Wanciu had the chance to “capture” her. She could try taking the initiative.

Cheng Shimumeng very much agreed with this point.

Because An Yu ignored literally everyone else—just look at that Shen Huahua.

“Hehe~”  

Cheng Shimumeng unconsciously let out a soft laugh. 

Suddenly she felt that her own ability to get close to An Yu was entirely thanks to Ning Wanciu’s light.

But speaking of which, even she found An Yu hard to understand. 

An Yu’s actions couldn’t be predicted with common sense and often caught people off guard.

For example, she would suddenly sit in Ning Wanciu’s lap to eat lunch.

Or she liked to speak in abbreviations, occasionally causing misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shimumeng’s cheeks flushed faintly. 

She still remembered the last time An Yu gave an extremely misleading answer.

Although An Yu’s behavior looked like that of someone with no common sense and full of whims, sometimes she would show inexplicable gentleness.

Like how she comforted Huai Xiang when she was down, or got anxious when Cheng Shimumeng pretended to be upset.

All in all, although An Yu resembled a cute little animal, she wasn’t actually a real animal.

Therefore, Cheng Shimumeng believed An Yu could be “captured.”

Even if Ning Wanciu was a bit slow, it didn’t matter—as her good sister, she would help out.

Of course… helping would come with a little interest~

As if remembering something, the corners of Cheng Shimumeng’s mouth lifted into a faint smile.

Yesterday, besides asking about Ning Wanciu and An Yu, she had also deliberately consulted about her own situation.

Since 【Sisters Are Right】 thought she was the person involved, Cheng Shimumeng didn’t bother denying it and simply asked from the perspective of the “party concerned.”

Her question was: she had a friend who loved teasing about how close Ning Wanciu and An Yu were, but at the same time deliberately created opportunities for them to be alone.

Afterward, this friend would feel extremely pleased, as if she just loved watching girls being affectionate.

Yet toward any other pairing, she felt nothing—only reacting this way to Ning Wanciu and An Yu.

Was that normal?

Faced with this question, the other party stayed silent for a long time before replying.

Cheng Shimumeng still remembered what they said:

【Sisters Are Right】: First of all, don’t worry. Your friend probably has no ill intent.

【Sisters Are Right】: I’m guessing she really just wants to help you… and your friend, so she acts like that.

…

Cheng Shimumeng could feel the other party’s tone suddenly becoming anxious, almost as if they were defending themselves.

As though they had once had been suspected in the same way.

The following replies confirmed it.

【Sisters Are Right】: Your friend is probably super into this CP, that’s why she does it.

【Sisters Are Right】: For example, I recently saw a pair of non-blood-related sisters who give off that vibe, and I really want to push them together.

【Sisters Are Right】: It’s just that she probably has no experience and this is her first time encountering real-life yuri, so she startled your friend. Don’t worry, it’s totally fine!

Recalling their words, it wasn’t hard to see that 【Sisters Are Right】 and Cheng Shimumeng were half the same kind of people.

Both wanted to push a yuri CP and loved watching their reactions.

The reason it was only “half” the same…

They chatted a bit more afterward, and Cheng Shimumeng discovered some differences between her and them.

First, she didn’t ship incest settings.

Second, from 【Sisters Are Right】’s messages, it was clear they were a complete bystander with no intention of inserting themselves and were a pure-love warrior through and through.

…

But she was not like that at all.

She had zero plans of giving up interacting with An Yu just because of Ning Wanciu.

Because An Yu was really interesting too.
