Chapter 136: If You Don’t Want It, Give It Back

The sky gradually darkened; the girls’ gathering had reached its final moments.

Because of Cheng Shimumeng’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering, An Yu had stayed at her home for a full two days and played for two days.

After watching the movie, they played games together and ate; until now, as the sky was about to darken.

The An family’s birthday banquet had also ended; it was time for An Yu to go home.

An Qing should be very satisfied, right?

That task had mysteriously completed itself; presumably, An Qing’s mood had been pleasant throughout, without getting angry.

After all, An Yu hadn’t been home the whole time, hadn’t gone to compete with her for their parents’ love; no one had obstructed her plans.

An Yu thought it should be like that.

However, whether it was or not didn’t matter; she didn’t care about the An family, nor about An Qing.

From the beginning, An Yu hadn’t planned to have any relations with them.

Whatever An Qing did had little to do with her.

As long as she went easy in the end.

“An Yu, it’s getting very late; I’ll take you back, okay?”

Ning Wanciu packed the things she had brought, casually asking An Yu beside her softly.

An Yu blinked expressionlessly, without hesitation or refusal.

“Mm.”

She really liked being with Ning Wanciu; she always had.

However, unlike their quietness, Huai Xiang beside them seemed very noisy.

“Urgh, how did time pass so fast!” 

Huai Xiang pouted: “I haven’t had enough fun yet!”

She had just challenged Cheng Shimumeng again and failed once more!

She hadn’t won against Cheng Shimumeng yet, nor had they done the nighttime girls’ gathering she had thought of before; how had this birthday party ended just like that?

“Tsk tsk, I think you haven’t been abused by me enough~”

Cheng Shimumeng’s lips curved upward, softly mocking.

“What?!”

Huai Xiang’s eyes widened, her face full of displeasure.

“You you you, say that again?!”

“Oh?” 

Cheng Shimumeng looked at Huai Xiang disdainfully: “You who hasn’t won against me from beginning to end, what do you want me to say again?”

“Wh-what! You you you!”

“You what you, idiot is idiot!”

“I I I!”

Cheng Shimumeng smiled and shook her head, then no longer paid attention to Huai Xiang, leaving her to make noise behind.

“Little An Yu, be safe, okay~”

Cheng Shimumeng came to An Yu’s side, intentionally glancing at her wrist; seeing that she was properly wearing the watch she had given her, she nodded satisfiedly.

“This, remember, if you encounter problems, use it, okay~” Cheng Shimumeng smiled and pointed at her wrist.

An Yu looked at Cheng Shimumeng expressionlessly, then calmly nodded.

“Mm, I know.”

“That’s good, okay~” Cheng Shimumeng nodded.

There were indeed some dangers around An Yu.

Being vigilant was right.

This way, she could prevent troubles before they happened, nipping those dangers in the bud.

“Hey hey hey, you’re actually ignoring me…” 

Huai Xiang huffed and rushed over; she was still unconvinced: “It’s not like you just won against me a few times…”

Halfway through her words, Huai Xiang suddenly stopped.

She blinked somewhat awkwardly, because she saw An Yu staring at her.

“Wait, we’ll talk later; hmph!”

After spitting out the last sentence toward Cheng Shimumeng, Huai Xiang turned her head and smiled awkwardly.

“Li-little An Yu, be safe; contact me when you get home!”

“Mm.” An Yu nodded similarly.

The three people before her were all her friends.

Except Ning Wanciu was a bit special, because she also served as the most important pillow.

This should count as the first time she had made friends.

So, happy.

Although she was very happy inside, An Yu’s surface was still a calm appearance; her expression completely unchanged.

She hadn’t even spoken an extra word.

Because mood was the most important, right?

An Yu expressionlessly held Ning Wanciu’s hand; Ning Wanciu also silently responded to An Yu.

The two’s actions were incomparably natural; even in front of Cheng Shimumeng and Huai Xiang, they didn’t hold back.

An Yu, from beginning to end, was indifferent about these things.

And Ning Wanciu, she probably hadn’t realized what she had done at all.

Because holding An Yu’s hand was the most ordinary thing.

Looking at the two holding hands, Cheng Shimumeng smiled.

Just this level could no longer make Ning Wanciu blush; her goal had been achieved.

Next time… keep it up.

A flash of shrewdness passed in Cheng Shimumeng’s emerald-green eyes, but no one noticed.

“Your gifts, I’ve packed them for you, okay~”

Cheng Shimumeng handed over a backpack; Ning Wanciu took it very naturally.

Because she still had to take An Yu home; she could help carry this.

“Mm, thank you, Cheng Shimumeng.” An Yu nodded in thanks.

Besides what Cheng Shimumeng herself had given, there were only the nine little dolls from Ning Wanciu.

By the way, that box of chocolates had been shared with everyone while watching the movie.

Of course, An Yu hadn’t eaten any, because everyone strictly forbade her from eating alcohol-filled chocolates.

Last time was usable; that’s why Cheng Shimumeng hadn’t blamed Huai Xiang’s chocolates.

But if it happened again, who knew what would occur? So it was still too dangerous.

Unless absolutely necessary, the drunk An Yu shouldn’t appear again.

Not only was her figure agile, but her behavior was even more incomprehensible than before.

Even Cheng Shimumeng would panic dealing with it, let alone others.

“Alright, it’s about time~” Cheng Shimumeng smiled.

She was very satisfied with the results of these two days; at the same time… she had actually had a lot of fun too.

Next time everyone gathered, they could make up for what they didn’t do this time~

Cheng Shimumeng subconsciously glanced at Huai Xiang; she was still glaring at her with a face full of anger.

“Pfft~”

“What are you laughing at!” Huai Xiang was quite sensitive about this.

“Nothing, nothing; pfft~”

“You’re still laughing!”

If An Yu weren’t present, Huai Xiang would have made Cheng Shimumeng pay!

Hmph, thank An Yu for saving you, bad woman!

“Oh right~”

Cheng Shimumeng seemed to remember something; she took out her phone from her pocket and casually fiddled with it.

“This, giving it back to you~” Cheng Shimumeng glanced at Huai Xiang: “Don’t be so stupid next time; it makes it seem like I’m playing with an idiot.”

Mm, actually she was playing with an idiot; no problem.

Huai Xiang paused; her phone vibrated.

She subconsciously took out her phone, swiped it open, and saw a sum of money; the amount was very familiar.

Huai Xiang furrowed her brows, subconsciously confirming it.

Mm…

Wasn’t this exactly the money she spent buying the dolls that day?

Not a cent less!

Huai Xiang raised her head in surprise; the emotion in her eyes turned to astonishment.

“You, what’s with you; are you sick?” 

Huai Xiang almost subconsciously blurted out.

Cheng Shimumeng’s hand holding the phone trembled, almost throwing the phone out.

“You… you…”

She wanted to curse, but her ladylike upbringing controlled her behavior.

“If you don’t want it, give it back!”
