Chapter 13: Because I Like It

Mhm, there really was some. She didn’t lie to An Yu.

But…

What a waste! Why wipe it directly? Couldn’t she just tell me?

And An Yu remembered licking her lips. How was there still some left?

Also, she’s so weird.

An Yu stared expressionlessly at the green-haired girl, her heart full of questions.

She wasn’t familiar with this girl—she barely had any impression of her.

Yesterday, her eyes had been completely blinded by the big pillow. She didn’t remember anyone beside it. So now, An Yu was very confused.

Scary. A stranger suddenly acting so close?

On the surface, she showed no reaction, but inwardly, An Yu issued a not-too-harsh condemnation of Cheng Shimumeng’s behavior.

“Little An Yu~”

Cheng Shimumeng leaned in with a smile. An Yu instinctively stepped back, her cold little face full of wariness.

No one said her only enemy was An Qing. What if this was someone already turned by the reborn heroine?

Reborn heroines are terrifying.

“Uh…” Cheng Shimumeng froze.

Why does it feel like An Yu is scared of me? That step back—was it serious?

Even without Ning Wanciu’s warmth, Cheng Shimumeng shouldn’t be this disliked…

She was actually quite popular. Being rejected by this animal-like cute loli was pretty hurtful.

Blinking instinctively, Cheng Shimumeng silently stared into An Yu’s eyes.

Mhm… something’s off.

Her lips twitched. Disbelief flashed in her eyes: “Little An Yu, you don’t… know who I am, do you?”

No way… it can’t be, right?

With her looks, she was the center of attention anywhere. This cute loli didn’t recognize her at all?

They were classmates and had spent half a day together yesterday. Could this really happen?!

Even the usually calm Cheng Shimumeng was starting to lose it.

And An Yu’s reaction confirmed her guess.

An Yu’s face remained cold, expressionless, but her gaze drifted unnaturally to the side, looking guilty.

“Ah… I was right next to Wanciu yesterday…?” Cheng Shimumeng made a final struggle.

Only when Ning Wanciu’s name was mentioned did An Yu react, turning to look at her.

Yesterday, there really was someone next to the big pillow… who was it again? No impression.

Because sleeping was more important. Pillow. Comfortable.

“Sigh… so in little An Yu’s eyes, I don’t exist…” Cheng Shimumeng’s face instantly showed grievance. She lowered her head, looking very sad.

An Yu blinked, confused by the dejected girl before her.

How did it turn into this?

Instinctively, she stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Shimumeng’s arm but stopped there.

Ah… so troublesome. I think I hurt her feelings, but how do you comfort people again?

What An Yu didn’t notice was that her wariness had completely vanished—maybe from when Cheng Shimumeng mentioned Ning Wanciu, or when she looked down in grievance.

“Pfft, gotcha~”

While An Yu was still thinking, she was suddenly grabbed. The girl before her was already smiling through tears. Where was the grievance?

“Mmm…”

Hiss… tricked. Is she really An Qing’s person? Mentioning the big pillow just to deceive me?

Wariness returned to An Yu’s eyes, but she was caught and couldn’t escape.

“Really, little An Yu. You didn’t even remember me. This time, you have to remember. My name is Cheng Shimumeng, Ning Wanciu’s good friend~”

Perhaps afraid of another misunderstanding, Cheng Shimumeng deliberately mentioned Ning Wanciu.

But… she really hadn’t expected An Yu to not even know her name. Not truly hurt, but definitely surprised.

Speaking of which… yesterday’s duty student was Wanciu, right…

Could it be she ran into An Yu like I did today, found out An Yu didn’t know her, and then got close?

Probably… not that easy?

Dismissing the thought, Cheng Shimumeng shook her head helplessly. How could such behavior lead to that level of intimacy? It can’t be love at first sight, right?

But the person in question was right here. No need to overthink.

Cheng Shimumeng’s lips curved slightly. She smiled at An Yu: “Little An Yu, I have some questions for you~”

An Yu had just relaxed when her heart tensed again. More questions…

And she looked so sinister. Not a good person. Really the big pillow’s friend?

If Cheng Shimumeng knew An Yu’s thoughts, she’d probably lose it again.

Good thing she couldn’t read minds.

“Tell me…” Cheng Shimumeng spoke softly, trying to keep her tone gentle.

But to An Yu, that gentleness sounded sinister. She trembled instinctively.

What does this girl want to ask… my bank card password?

“Why are you so close to Wanciu?”

“I don’t know the passw…”

After deep thought, An Yu realized she didn’t even know the bank card password. She hadn’t asked.

She was about to say she didn’t know when she heard Cheng Shimumeng’s real question.

Just this…?

“Phew……” An Yu exhaled in relief, her tension easing.

But… so tiring…

Are all high school girls this weird?

She thought it was blackmail, but it was just this…

“Because I like it.”

Like Ning Wanciu’s scent. Perfect for sleeping.

An Yu was tired. Talking to high school girls was exhausting. She just wanted to explain quickly and rest.

Cheng Shimumeng: ?

The answer exploded in her mind like thunder. Did she hear right? An Yu said she liked Ning Wanciu?

Cheng Shimumeng looked at An Yu in disbelief, asking again to confirm: “Y-You like Wanciu?”

“Mhm. Because… it’s very comfortable.” An Yu answered expressionlessly.

Sleeping together is really comfortable. Soft and fragrant. Better than on the bed.

Cheng Shimumeng: ¿

What does “very comfortable” mean?

What exactly did Ning Wanciu do to An Yu??

“You two… already slept together?” Cheng Shimumeng exclaimed instinctively. She hadn’t expected them to be that far.

An Yu nodded matter-of-factly, her cold eyes tinged with confusion.

Of course you sleep with a pillow. Didn’t she nap in Ning Wanciu’s arms yesterday at lunch?

Why is Cheng Shimumeng so shocked?

Does she sleep without a pillow?

She’s pretty impressive.
