In the end, the desire to play with An Yu still couldn’t overcome that fear.
Ning Dongli cowardly chose to refuse.
She was unwilling to go out, unwilling to leave her own little world.
Because only home was the safest.
Even if she didn’t meet An Yu in person, she could still play games with her and voice chat together.
It would be fine.
Ning Dongli didn’t know that this decision would plunge her into inescapable regret for the next few days.
She only knew that she was afraid of going out.
Seeing Ning Dongli clearly becoming a bit panicked, Ning Wanciu silently held her hand, stopping her trembling.
She understood that Ning Dongli must have been struggling inwardly just now, must have thought about it a lot.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have hesitated so much.
It was just that the fear from the past was too great—it couldn’t fade away in a short time.
It was okay.
As an older sister, taking care of her little sister was her duty.
She could wait until Ning Dongli could step out of the shadows.
However, the fact that Ning Dongli was willing to consider it already exceeded Ning Wanciu’s expectations.
Originally, she had just asked casually, never thinking Ning Dongli would be willing to consider it.
..
As expected… introducing An Yu to my little sister was the right choice.
That somewhat inexplicable but extraordinarily cute little An Yu always brought unexpected surprises.
“Sis…”
Ning Dongli wanted to continue apologizing.
After all, her reaction earlier, and now refusing again.
But Ning Wanciu just smiled and shook her head.
“It’s okay, Dongli.”
Ning Wanciu’s voice was incredibly gentle: “Big sis is right here. No one can change your decision.”
“As long as you don’t regret it, no one can blame you for whatever choice you make.”
Ning Wanciu pinched Ning Dongli’s small hand lightly, gently comforting her.
“So, it’s okay.”
Looking at the extremely gentle Ning Wanciu, a faint sense of guilt rose in Ning Dongli’s heart, but more than that was a feeling of relief.
Mhm, I know.
Thank you, Sis.
Seeing Ning Dongli return to normal, Ning Wanciu curled her lips upward and smiled tenderly.
“Hm, it’s already very late now. Let’s sleep early tonight, okay? Don’t stay up late gaming every day~”
Ning Wanciu reminded with a smile.
“Mhm… I know.”
Ning Dongli nodded, then trotted off toward her room.
Watching her back, Ning Wanciu smiled and shook her head.
Speaking of which, what did she come out for?
Usually at this time, she was already in her room gaming.
Ning Wanciu didn’t quite understand, but Ning Dongli hadn’t said anything.
In her eyes, the girl walking toward her room suddenly turned back, grinning happily as she lightly waved: “Thanks, Sis!”
“…… Hm.”
Ning Wanciu responded with a light laugh, then shook her head helplessly.
“Really now.”
On the other side, Cheng Shimumeng had also returned home.
She had called a car and even tipped the driver extra to help carry that ridiculously ugly giant plushie into her house.
Looking at the somewhat bizarre plushie placed in her home, Cheng Shimumeng’s mouth twitched.
To be honest, wasn’t this like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot?
In the end, wasn’t it still left at her place?
She had paid for it too.
If An Yu didn’t want it, wouldn’t it just stay in her house forever?
“Tch…”
Cheng Shimumeng clicked her tongue unhappily in a low voice, but ultimately just shook her head helplessly.
She had had fun teasing Huai Xiang at the time—so be it.
Anyway, she didn’t care about that little bit of money.
If An Yu didn’t accept it, she could just throw it away later.
“But… it’s really so ugly.”
Cheng Shimumeng muttered another speechless complaint.
She had no idea who designed this thing—what kind of aesthetics were those?
It was a bit outrageously bad.
She would have to call later and ask which designer they hired…
As for why she wanted to ask—it was because that mall was opened by Cheng Shimumeng’s family.
Her family had businesses everywhere, but no one knew.
Ning Wanciu and Huai Xiang only knew she was very rich; Cheng Shimumeng hadn’t mentioned anything else.
Finally twitching her mouth speechlessly one more time, Cheng Shimumeng stopped looking at the giant plushie and returned to her room, taking out her phone.
She wanted to chat with that online friend and share what happened today, see what insights he had.
【Dream】: Hello, are you free?
Cheng Shimumeng asked politely, and soon the other side replied.
【Sisters Are Right】: Yes, is there something you don’t understand today that you want to ask?
Cheng Shimumeng blinked expressionlessly.
This person used the same name on the forum and in the chat app.
Just how much did he like sisters?
But whatever—these things weren’t related to her. There were some things Cheng Shimumeng wanted to ask.
【Dream】: I confirmed it today—my friend does seem to have intentions in that area.
【Dream】: But the other side is indeed, just as you said, somewhat hard to judge.
【Dream】: However, I’m inclined to think it’s possible, because her attitude toward others is completely different from when she’s with my friend.
Cheng Shimumeng nodded. That was indeed correct—just look at that Shen Huahua.
No matter how she tried to strike up a conversation, she couldn’t get a response from An Yu.
If it were Ning Wanciu approaching, An Yu would probably have already stuck to her proactively.
So, for An Yu, Ning Wanciu must be special in some way.
Even she and Huai Xiang might only be able to interact with An Yu because of Ning Wanciu.
【Dream】: She’s very cold toward others, but extremely close to my friend, and will even suggest intimate actions, even exceeding what my friend can bear.
【Dream】: What do you think? In this situation, do the two have a chance?
On the other side, looking at the messages from Cheng Shimumeng, Chen Yu lightly furrowed his brows.
This online friend’s… friend was easy to judge—very obviously showing initial fondness.
But the other one—Chen Yu had never encountered this type of personality before.
If converted to affection levels…
Her affection toward others was zero, but toward the online friend’s friend, it was innately eighty or above.
It was hard to say whether this would develop into romantic feelings—he didn’t dare make a hasty judgment.
There was a possibility that because the affection was too high, it could get stuck there instead.
This type of girl—Chen Yu had basically only seen in manga—interacting with anyone based purely on feeling.
So far, this online friend’s friend was probably the one she had the best eye for.
Therefore, Chen Yu felt that, regardless of whether there was potential or not, they had to probe.
Only by taking the initiative and testing that girl’s limits regarding intimate actions could they better understand.
So, Chen Yu lightly tapped the keyboard.
【Sisters Are Right】: It’s still hard to judge at this point, but I recommend your friend take the initiative.
【Sisters Are Right】: Try to see if you can probe where that girl’s limits are regarding intimate actions.
