Chapter 149: Don’t Be Afraid

“Mm… you’re really so heavy….”

Although she had said that, An Qing still couldn’t move, so An Yu had no choice but to lead her to drink water.

An Yu’s small body supported An Qing, who was taller than her.

To be honest, it was quite tiring; she wanted to go back to her room and play games.

Moreover, even through the clothes, she could feel how hot it was.

“An Yu…..”

An Qing was still murmuring constantly, almost every time calling An Yu’s name.

“Mm, I’m right here. What exactly do you want?”

Always calling her, always calling her—didn’t she know that was really creepy?

Especially after dreaming that previous dream, being called like this by An Qing was even creepier.

She, or rather the original owner, had died right in front of An Qing.

If that person really was An Qing, then that was how it was.

An Yu expressionlessly trudged forward under the weight; from her clenched jaw, one could see that for her, An Qing was really heavy.

“Hu…”

An Yu blinked, her eyes slightly narrowed; the water dispenser was right in front of her.

“We’re almost… there.”

She could feel An Qing’s body trembling constantly; it was clear she was burning up severely, and who knew if she had taken medicine.

In any case, first satisfy her desire to drink water, then.

Quickly run away.

She couldn’t let An Qing know it was her who helped; what if when she woke up, she got angry out of embarrassment?

An Yu still remembered to this day that just because she got off the car early, An Qing’s hatred value started rising!

Who knew what this idiot reborn heroine was thinking.

Damn, so bad.

While thinking this, An Yu pushed An Qing until she brought her near the sofa.

…..

“Hey~ whoosh~”

An Yu expressionlessly tossed her, suddenly throwing An Qing, who was almost slumped on her, onto the sofa.

Looking at An Qing lying on the sofa, An Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.

Then she wanted to leave, to get An Qing a cup of water, and this time really go back to rest.

So tiring.

“Water… An Yu.”

Seeming to notice An Yu wanted to leave, An Qing almost subconsciously grabbed An Yu’s arm.

In an instant, An Yu lowered her eyes, revealing a dead-fish eye expression.

“An Yu is going to get you water right now.”

So, could she stop pulling her?

An Yu wasn’t a fish swimming in water; she needed to get a cup to give her water.

“Wu…” An Qing moaned lowly; it was as if she had grabbed a lifesaving straw, her grip getting stronger and stronger.

But unfortunately, because of the high fever, she didn’t have much strength at all.

Even An Yu could easily—not that easily—break free.

An Yu turned her head back, looking somewhat speechless at An Qing who was stubbornly pulling her.

If she woke up like this, wouldn’t she be furious?

“Hey, An Qing…” An Yu somewhat helplessly approached An Qing. 

“Look carefully… I’m An Yu, not someone else. If you don’t want to touch me, let go.”

She naively thought that getting close to warn An Qing would make her let go.

After all, An Qing had always acted like she hated An Yu a lot.

But reality was different from what she thought.

“An Yu…?”

“Mm.”

Then, there was no then.

An Qing didn’t let go; instead, she pulled even tighter, even yanking An Yu toward her direction.

“Mm?”

An Yu didn’t steady herself and was pulled over by the sick An Qing.

“You… wake up a bit… hey.”

An Yu hadn’t expected that after reminding her multiple times that she was An Yu, An Qing would still become like this.

Speaking of which, where were the other people in the An family?

Not only were the parents not there, the servants weren’t either?

An Qing was clearly the heroine, yet when sick, she was alone?

What about that so-called male lead? Come out and save her.

Why was she, this villain, the one handling it?

Only at times like this would An Yu remember she was a villain.

An Yu really couldn’t understand the current situation.

She wanted to break free, but subconsciously saw the expression on An Qing’s face.

An Qing was curled up on the sofa, eyes tightly closed, lashes trembling lightly, tears hanging at the corners of her eyes; because of the excessive high fever, her face was bright red.

An Yu looked down at An Qing from above, even stopping the movement of her hand.

With her like this, where did she look like some reborn great heroine favored by the world?

An Yu slowly bent down, poked An Qing’s somewhat hot cheek, almost subconsciously speaking softly.

“What… are you afraid of?”

An Yu stared expressionlessly at An Qing’s face.

She always felt like An Qing seemed to be afraid of something, but she completely couldn’t understand what exactly that was.

An Qing was the reborn heroine; if she wanted, anything in this world was within easy reach.

…..?

Why did An Yu still feel like she was afraid?

What exactly was she afraid of…

It couldn’t be that what An Qing was afraid of was her, right?

Then she was pretty impressive; just a green tea villain, yet could be so cared about by the reborn heroine.

Although, An Yu wasn’t curious about what exactly happened in the previous life.

“Don’t be afraid; this time, no one can harm you.”

An Yu reminded expressionlessly: you’re the heroine, you have memories; no villain can hurt you.

But her voice was still as cold as ever.

Because they could only be considered strangers.

They hadn’t even spoken much.

But what she said was the truth; the villains from An Qing’s perspective had all been cleared out almost completely.

An Yu herself had no intention of doing anything.

Even if An Qing wanted to do something to her, she was too lazy to resist.

As long as she lived her current life well, that was fine.

Seeming like An Yu’s voice had an effect, An Qing’s constantly furrowed brows miraculously relaxed.

An Yu’s amber eyes stared intently at the girl in front of her who looked extremely exhausted; come to think of it, today could be considered the longest contact with An Qing.

Hopefully, she wouldn’t have nightmares again tonight.

Previous life—not curious, didn’t want to know.

Removing the tightly gripping hand from her arm, An Yu turned to go get water for An Qing.

Fortunately, looking at the reborn heroine’s dazed appearance, she probably wouldn’t remember anything afterward.

She probably wouldn’t know that it was her, the green tea villain in her eyes, who helped her.

An Yu came to the water dispenser, lowered her head to take out a cup, adjusted the hot water, and started filling it.

“An Yu…….”

What she didn’t know was that as soon as she left, An Qing on the sofa furrowed her brows again.

It was as if something important had left her side.

Unhappy, not content, didn’t want that.

Don’t… leave.

In a near-comatose state, An Qing began to crave An Yu’s presence.

Only in this situation could she forget the hatred engraved in her mind.

“An Yu…”

Clearly her throat was unbearably dry, yet she coughed while calling An Yu’s name.

An Qing subconsciously curled into a ball; she couldn’t feel An Yu’s presence again.

Being sick was really so painful.

At least in her previous life, she still had An Yu caring about her.

“An Yu.”
