Chapter 293: Yuehuodao, Juhao

How should it be put? 

When it came to strange things, Cheng Shimumeng had noticed them from the very beginning.

First was An Yu. She was the most obvious.

She was wearing a school uniform jacket that clearly didn’t fit, with her usual clothes underneath.

She even… wasn’t wearing stockings.

Stockings. This needed to be emphasized. Cheng Shimumeng truly rarely saw An Yu not wearing stockings.

Perhaps it was because the weather was cold.

Moreover, looking at Ning Wanciu’s reaction, she could also tell that this jacket wasn’t hers. 

Otherwise she wouldn’t glance from time to time toward An Qing not far away. Mm… whose jacket it was, so hard to guess～

Cheng Shimumeng smiled. Her emerald-green eyes had already seen through everything.

“Little An Yu, what happened today? Coming over dressed like this?”

Cheng Shimumeng tugged at An Yu’s school uniform jacket, indicating that An Yu’s school uniform didn’t fit.

“Mm-mm, the school uniform is at home. No time to go get it, so I’m wearing An Qing’s.”

“Oh～”

Cheng Shimumeng nodded, deliberately putting on a look of sudden realization.

According to her understanding, this good sister of hers definitely hadn’t been able to ask the reason why An Yu was dressed like this. 

The moment the words fell, she looked toward Ning Wanciu. “So that’s how it was～”

Now, she had helped her ask.

So… where did you go yesterday?

Cheng Shimumeng revealed a friendly smile and poked An Yu’s cheek.

An Yu also didn’t feel any aversion. She lifted her head and lightly parted her cherry lips.

“Yesterday…”

“Shimumeng!”

Just as An Yu was about to speak the truth, Ning Wanciu suddenly pulled Cheng Shimumeng and at the same time interrupted An Yu’s words.

An Yu tilted her head in some confusion and looked toward Ning Wanciu, not understanding why she had suddenly become so agitated.

Cheng Shimumeng was also pulled off balance by her.

“Ah… Ning Wanciu!”

She frantically blinked her eyes and only barely managed to keep her balance without falling. 

After Cheng Shimumeng stabilized her posture, she resentfully glanced at Ning Wanciu.

This guy. She didn’t dare to ask herself, yet when someone else asked she still had to stop them?

However, Ning Wanciu did not respond to her somewhat resentful gaze. 

Instead she glanced at An Qing, who was lying on the desk not far away, and calmly shook her head.

She always felt that them doing something like this was like provocating An Qing. 

An Qing was still here. Some things should be asked privately later. They had no grudges against each other. It wasn’t very good.

“Honestly… you this guy…”

Noticing Ning Wanciu’s gaze, Cheng Shimumeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking a bit speechless.

Gentleness… was also a shortcoming that couldn’t be changed, huh.

Hua-la—

“Oh oh, good morning!”

The moment she entered the door and saw her good friends gathered together, Huai Xiang bounced over and greeted them, drawing everyone’s gazes.

However none of them spoke. They only silently stared at her, making Huai Xiang grow more and more awkward.

“Ah-leh… did I do something?”

Huai Xiang frantically blinked, looking left and right. No matter how she thought about it she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Just then, the students also began walking into the classroom one after another.

“Morning, Xiangxiang.”

The only one who didn’t understand what Ning Wanciu and the others were doing, An Yu, expressionlessly waved toward Huai Xiang.

“Ah… morning morning morning, An Yu!!”

The awkward atmosphere was broken. Huai Xiang movedly pounced in front of An Yu, her entire face full of a cheerful smile.

“Mm.”

An Yu expressionlessly nodded and subconsciously reached out to stroke Huai Xiang’s head. She always felt… she needed this.

“Ehehe～”

Huai Xiang giggled foolishly. The earlier awkwardness completely vanished.

Honestly, she had thought she had done something bad.

An Yu was still the best. She was practically a little angel!

Look, an angel had descended upon the human world, and was even gently stroking her head!

The somewhat inexplicably heavy atmosphere dissipated along with the interaction between Huai Xiang and An Yu.

Ning Wanciu and Cheng Shimumeng exchanged a smile and ultimately still returned to their own seats before the bell rang.

As for Huai Xiang…

“Wuwah, what are you doing, you bad woman!”

She was pulled away by Cheng Shimumeng grabbing the back of her collar. 

“Class is about to start. Don’t keep clinging to little An Yu here.”

“What what?!” Huai Xiang widened her eyes and waved her hands about randomly. “How am I clinging to An Yu? It’s clearly friendly interaction!”

Moreover, why only talk about her? Just now she had clearly seen the bad woman and Ning Wanciu also surrounding An Yu, not knowing what they were doing.

Damn it, why was there still differential treatment!

Unfortunately, Huai Xiang was still no match for Cheng Shimumeng and ultimately obediently returned to her own seat.

“Hmph!”

She could only take revenge next time! Because class was truly about to start. This damn double-standard bad woman. Mm, she had no way. She unhappily snorted and decided…

Huai Xiang angrily lay down on the desk and puffed out her cheeks.

She unhappily glanced at Cheng Shimumeng, then turned her gaze back to An Yu.

An Yu was still the best!

Just as she was looking at An Yu, An Yu also turned her head and glanced at Huai Xiang.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to see An Yu smiling at her.

“So, so beautiful…”

Huai Xiang subconsciously murmured.

“What?”

A classmate sitting not far from Huai Xiang subconsciously looked toward Huai Xiang and asked with some confusion.

“Nothing.”

Huai Xiang awkwardly blinked, then slowly shook her head.

For some reason, her face was a bit faintly flushed.

That classmate nodded in confusion. Seeing that Huai Xiang truly wasn’t speaking to her, she then turned her head and paid no more attention.

Seeing the classmate turn away, Huai Xiang lowered her head. Her habit of talking to herself was also… honestly…

Mm, it counted as daily routine. An Yu didn’t seem to listen to class much usually. 

If the teacher didn’t care… she looked toward An Yu’s back again, only to discover that she had already turned around and lay down on the desk.

But this couldn’t be blamed on her. After all, An Yu was truly very beautiful.

She seemed like the type who would directly sleep through class.

An Yu like this was also very cute…

But it was still a bit of a pity. 

The smile An Yu had just now was like her dream. It never appeared again.

But… it shouldn’t have been a dream, because An Yu’s smiling face had already been imprinted into Huai Xiang’s mind and could no longer be forgotten.

Speaking of which… had she invited An Yu to her home before?

Then… it should be this week, right?

On the very day An Yu agreed, Huai Xiang had stayed up all night tidying her room.

Mm, it wasn’t that her room was particularly messy. It was just that she had been so excited she couldn’t sleep the entire night.

The next day, Huai Xiang still relied on her top-tier vitality to cover up the matter of insufficient sleep.

No one discovered her abnormality.

If it was An Yu… would she notice her abnormality when her state was off?

Huai Xiang foolishly lifted her head and stared at An Yu’s back, lost in thought.

On the other side, An Yu still had no intention of listening to class. 

Sitting at the desk, she boredly yawned, crystal tears gathering at the corners of her eyes.

Class or whatever always gave a feeling of something long-lost.

But… how should it be put? It was still this boring.

However, Xiangxiang was always that energetic. How nice.

Unlike her, who was already sleepy.
