“It’s okay now. There’s nothing scary left. Don’t worry, Xiangxiang.”
Huai Xiang’s chair was already empty.
The two of them had already moved onto the bed behind them.
Huai Xiang buried her head in An Yu’s lap and didn’t move an inch.
An Yu reached out and gently stroked Huai Xiang’s head.
After all, Huai Xiang really did look terrified, so An Yu had pulled her onto the bed and made her lie down properly…
Though with the way they were positioned now, it was more like she was lying on her stomach.
The movie off to the side had been turned off at some point, probably because Huai Xiang truly couldn’t handle horror films.
To be honest, Huai Xiang currently felt a mix of pain and pleasure.
On one hand, An Yu’s embrace… was extremely comfortable.
On the other hand, she had made a complete fool of herself…
It was her own fault for not watching it ahead of time.
If she had, she would have known just how scary horror movies really were.
Then she definitely wouldn’t have done something this stupid.
Watch a horror movie?
Watch what horror movie!
It would have been better to pick some currently popular animated films.
Those were fun and she wouldn’t have embarrassed herself!
Wuwuwu… Her lifelong reputation was completely ruined now!
Actually, Huai Xiang knew that if she wanted to salvage her dignity, she shouldn’t linger in An Yu’s embrace.
She should get up like nothing happened, say a few words pretending to be mature, and then everything would be fine.
But Huai Xiang found that she couldn’t seem to do it.
Because that very first step was just too difficult.
It was impossible to leave so easily.
Being petted on the head while held in her arms made Huai Xiang feel something she had never felt before.
She couldn’t help but greedily stay in An Yu’s embrace, because being held by An Yu like this felt as if she were wrapped in all the gentleness and love in the world.
This was a feeling Huai Xiang had never experienced.
Even though she was so small, she could wholeheartedly take care of someone in her own way.
Huai Xiang had never met anyone like this.
Perhaps… this was also why she wanted to become even closer to An Yu.
Because she could be gently taken care of, comforted, thoughtfully looked after… loved.
“Xiangxiang… are you okay?”
Seeing that Huai Xiang hadn’t reacted for a long time, An Yu lowered her head and asked softly.
Huai Xiang nuzzled against An Yu in silence.
She tightly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
After realizing that even with her eyes closed, all that appeared was An Yu and not some terrifying monster, she finally nodded.
Huai Xiang spoke softly.
Although her voice was still a bit weak, it was indeed much better than before.
“Mm, it’s already… a lot better…”
Even though Huai Xiang said she was a lot better, An Yu didn’t stop the movement of her hand.
It was still the same reason.
Because she felt Huai Xiang needed this, so she did it.
Huai Xiang kicked her little legs a bit at a loss.
Although her face was buried in An Yu’s lap so she couldn’t see anything, her ears had already turned bright red.
An Yu’s voice was gentle, filled with abundant care.
“I’ll stay right here until you’re satisfied.”
“It’s okay. Just like this for now is fine.”
In her view, Huai Xiang didn’t need to hide her needs from her.
She would satisfy them.
Huai Xiang buried her head even deeper, feeling An Yu’s warm thighs.
Her face grew even redder.
What do I do? This situation seems a bit bad.
My heartbeat suddenly got so fast… The fear from the horror movie just now has almost completely disappeared.
Regret.
In short, she was extremely regretful.
Huai Xiang really couldn’t hold it together anymore.
How could she have forgotten that when they rode the roller coaster earlier, An Yu was the only one who didn’t scream?
How could someone like that be afraid of a mere horror movie…
Not only had she scared herself now, she also had to keep being treated like this by An Yu.
Of course… it wasn’t that this was bad.
On the contrary, this really made her feel extremely comfortable.
But the problem was right here.
She was so comfortable that she didn’t want to leave.
She wanted to keep acting spoiled with An Yu.
Because An Yu was too gentle, it gave Huai Xiang the feeling that as long as she acted spoiled, everything would be satisfied.
From the very beginning, Huai Xiang especially liked being petted on the head by An Yu, or being given a gentle hug and things like that.
Being treated so gently by a girl who was even a bit younger than herself always gave Huai Xiang a sense of guilt.
But besides that… she also felt especially satisfied.
It was like the maternal love she had never received from childhood until now… had returned to her side in a different form at this very moment.
Although she wasn’t so abstract that she would actually call An Yu “Mom”… although it was a bit abstract, Huai Xiang really did think that.
Mm… she wouldn’t call her that, right?
She shouldn’t call her that?
Feeling the warmth on top of her head, Huai Xiang’s inner defenses were crumbling bit by bit.
“Do you feel a bit more comfortable?”
Hearing An Yu’s voice, Huai Xiang instinctively tensed up, her legs stretching out straight, looking quite nervous.
Hearing that her voice had already recovered its usual energy, An Yu stopped stroking her head and instead poked Huai Xiang’s cheek.
“Is that so?”
“Nn…”
Huai Xiang lifted her head just like that, her entire face flushed red, looking a bit helpless.
An Yu didn’t know what she was thinking.
Seeing Huai Xiang like this, she instinctively changed her gesture and pinched her cheek.
Having her cheek pinched by An Yu’s small hand, Huai Xiang whimpered twice, but she didn’t look away.
“Nn-nn…”
She just stared at the girl in front of her, her purple eyes overflowing with confusion.
Why… why is An Yu so gentle with me?
Huai Xiang actually couldn’t understand it at all.
She felt like she hadn’t even done anything special for An Yu, so why had it become like this?
Huai Xiang propped herself up, wanting to look into An Yu’s eyes, but she was a bit afraid.
She didn’t know what the result of asking this question would be, but she just wanted to know.
In the end, she could only lower her head.
“An Yu… why… are you so good to me?”
An Yu tilted her head in a bit of confusion.
“What kind of question is that? Huai Xiang is one of my friends, you know? Of course I have to treat her with all my heart.”
“Xiangxiang is a precious friend.” An Yu spoke softly, her tone extremely calm. “I don’t have many friends. Being able to become friends with Xiangxiang is something I cherish very much.”
“Wuwu…?!?!”
Huai Xiang’s eyes widened, as if she hadn’t expected An Yu to say something like that so easily.
“Mm… Little An Yu… is also my most important, most important, most important…” Huai Xiang’s voice trembled a little. “Most important…”
After saying “important” who knows how many times, Huai Xiang lay down on An Yu’s thigh a bit exhausted.
This time she wasn’t lying on her stomach.
“Hehe…” Huai Xiang giggled foolishly.
She had already noticed that she was even more unable to leave An Yu now.
She always felt… that she and An Yu were no longer at the ordinary friends level.
But even so, Huai Xiang still wasn’t satisfied with this… she still wanted to take it a step further.
The thing was, she actually couldn’t figure out where exactly she wanted to go.
She and An Yu’s relationship was already good enough, wasn’t it?!!
