Chapter 162: Helping You Once

In the classroom, An Qing sat in her seat, boredly fiddling with her phone.

Other people’s liveliness had nothing to do with her.

It had always been that way.

But Shen Huahua was really slow.

An Qing was a bit hungry; after all, she had only symbolically eaten a little in the morning.

Even yesterday, all day, she had just drunk a few cups of water and a bowl of porridge.

She switched back and forth between her phone’s pages; in this life’s contacts, there were many that didn’t exist in her previous life.

But one person was notably missing.

An Yu.

She didn’t have An Yu’s contact information.

But An Qing still remembered the number; however, she had no reason to add it, and she wouldn’t add it.

Just like how An Yu treated An Qing as a stranger, An Qing also realized that the two of them were no different from strangers.

Life was still as boring as ever.

How much longer would days like this continue?

An Qing subconsciously thought like this.

But she quickly frowned; today, she seemed particularly prone to overthinking.

An Qing supported her arm with one hand, her eyes full of complex meaning.

There was no one else around her, so she didn’t need to pretend to be gentle.

When alone, perhaps she could relax more.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, her body shivered with a chill.

She always had a bad premonition.

“An Qing.”

And now, that bad premonition seemed to be gradually becoming reality.

Someone was calling her name, and this voice, she had heard it before, but it wasn’t very familiar.

An Qing coldly lifted her head; standing in front of her was a green-haired, green-eyed girl.

“It’s you?” An Qing narrowed her eyes in confusion. “What do you want?”

This person, An Qing didn’t have much impression of, but she knew her name.

Cheng Shimumeng, one of the three people in Ning Wanciu’s small group…

Oh, now it should be one of four.

Heh…

But An Qing’s understanding of Cheng Shimumeng was even less than of Ning Wanciu.

She never paid attention to the other two, probably because An Yu seemed only close to Ning Wanciu…

That’s all.

She just didn’t know what this girl, with whom she had never had any interaction, had come to find her for.

“Ah~ Just here to remind you~”

Cheng Shimumeng maintained her smile, but those beautiful eyes held not a trace of amusement.

“Remind, what do you mean?”

An Qing frowned; she always felt that the girl in front of her had ill intentions.

“Hmm~” Cheng Shimumeng looked down from above. “Don’t do strange things just because you can’t get what you want, okay?”

This was a reminder, and also a warning.

“If one day you really do it, in the end, you’ll only regret it~”

But An Qing didn’t understand. “Ha?”

She furrowed her brows tightly, looking inexplicably at this girl with whom she had no connection.

But Cheng Shimumeng had no intention of explaining; she just coldly shook her head.

“That’s all.”

She had said what she needed to; she hoped An Qing could understand her warning.

Even if she didn’t understand now, she would eventually.

“An Qing, I’ll only help you this once.”

Cheng Shimumeng didn’t look back; she just paused her steps slightly, her voice left with only coldness.

An Qing was still frowning; she completely didn’t understand what Cheng Shimumeng had said.

She lifted her head, subconsciously looking toward the direction Cheng Shimumeng had left.

But this look made her somewhat stunned.

At the door, Shen Huahua had returned, carrying their lunch.

Her face still carried the same smile as usual, looking very cheerful, the same to everyone.

But there was nothing special about her.

What was special… was behind her, following Chen Guang.

“Tsk.”

An Qing gripped her arm tightly, trying her best not to let that displeasure show.

All day today, she had selectively forgotten about this matter.

Even if it meant continuing her revenge on An Yu, she could hardly endure this person Chen Guang.

Not to mention, now she had to face this person.

Irritated, nauseous…

But she couldn’t just let it go unchecked.

In her previous life, she had some contact with Chen Guang; the more innocent the girl, the more likely she was to be deceived by this kind of person.

Although An Qing didn’t think An Yu was some pure good child, clearly, An Yu was one of those who could be deceived.

At least, she had to keep him away from An Yu.

This point, no matter how reality changed, she would absolutely not change.

Fortunately, An Yu wasn’t in the classroom now.

In her previous life, this person had successfully attracted An Yu’s attention; in this life, she absolutely wouldn’t let the two have contact.

Completely unaware that yesterday Chen Guang had come to the classroom and been completely treated as air by An Yu, An Qing thought like this.

In a certain sense, An Qing still had to thank that Ning Wanciu.

At least, An Yu not being in the classroom was her credit, right?

An Qing gritted her teeth, her mind starting to think of countermeasures.

She still had some understanding of Chen Guang.

If she had contact with Chen Guang in full view of everyone, he would use that public opinion to bind her.

If it were before, although unhappy in her heart, it would suit her just fine.

That way, she would have snatched another “trash” from An Yu’s side.

But now it was different; she was confused, not even knowing if she still wanted revenge.

She didn’t want… these things to reach An Yu’s ears.

Why?

An Qing lowered her head, her pupils slightly contracting, as if not understanding why, in that instant just now, she had thought that way.

Resisting Chen Guang was normal, but why was the most important thing not wanting to be seen by An Yu?

Clearly, her original plan was to act for An Yu to see?

The girl sat in her seat, her delicate body trembling lightly.

But that boy named Chen Guang still hadn’t come over.

An Qing lifted her head again, the expression on her face gradually changing from irritation to surprise.

What did she see?

Cheng Shimumeng… that unfamiliar girl, easily blocked Chen Guang outside the door.

“Chen Guang, this is sophomore year; didn’t the teacher tell you yesterday? Our school strictly prohibits crossing grades?”

Cheng Shimumeng held her arms with a speechless face, her emerald green eyes even carrying a bit of disdain.

Others needed to give this kind of thing face; she didn’t need to.

“Uh… This classmate… Who are you?”

Chen Guang frowned; he had originally thought everything would go smoothly, but he had just reached the door and hadn’t seen An Qing yet when he was stopped.

“Tsk, who cares who I am; don’t pretend you can’t hear, hurry up and leave.”

Cheng Shimumeng impatiently frowned, not giving him a good face at all.

Hurry up and leave; she still had important things to do.

As an observer, Ning Wanciu and An Yu’s first sofa nap, she hadn’t gone to watch yet.

Thinking like this, Cheng Shimumeng glanced sideways at the somewhat dazed Shen Huahua beside her.

Originally, Shen Huahua had been somewhat smug; after being stopped by Cheng Shimumeng, she became a face full of confusion.

This person was stupid and silly, really causing trouble.

Her brain felt even less useful than a certain idiot redhead.

Might as well donate it.
