Everything, everything, was too natural.
From start to finish, the two hadn’t spoken a word. An Yu just gave a look, and Ning Wanciu knew what she wanted.
In the eyes of the other two, this was the situation.
As if it were only natural, An Yu leaned in Ning Wanciu’s arms, nibbling bread bite by bite.
Ning Wanciu naturally wrapped her arms around her waist.
By the time she realized it, it was too late.
“Y-You two… completely stopped pretending, huh!”
Huai Xiang, who had watched the whole thing in stunned silence, instinctively blurted out.
Yesterday they still needed explanations. Today they just silently stuck together without a word. She didn’t dare imagine what next time would be like!
Completely treating her and Cheng Shimumeng as part of the show!
Ning Wanciu met Huai Xiang’s scrutinizing gaze and finally snapped out of it.
Her behavior was strange—like she had done it countless times, naturally displaying perfect chemistry with An Yu.
But… but!
This was only the second time. Even speaking to An Yu was only the second time.
Ning Wanciu had no explanation.
Was she supposed to say that because she was too nervous yesterday, her mind was full of An Yu, so she reacted instantly today?
Could she say that? Obviously not. What if she was misunderstood…
So Ning Wanciu could only stay silent.
And in Huai Xiang’s eyes, that silence was no different from admitting it. Otherwise, why say nothing?
“Fine, Wanciu. Secretly making friends with little An Yu behind our backs, not including us, even trying to hide it. You’re heinous!” Huai Xiang said indignantly, sparks practically shooting from her eyes.
She wanted to play with An Yu too!
Finally conquering the cold loli and trying to keep her all to herself—too evil!
If An Yu hadn’t come over and exposed it, she might’ve been kept in the dark forever.
So, little An Yu good, Ning Wanciu bad!
No way she’d let Ning Wanciu take all the heat alone. Gotta drag her bestie in. Thinking this, Huai Xiang turned to Cheng Shimumeng, planning to condemn Ning Wanciu together.
“Shi……”
But before she could finish, she froze completely.
Cheng Shimumeng wore a gentle smile, not even looking at her. Instead, she opened a box of mini cream puffs and offered one to An Yu’s mouth like a treasure.
And An Yu bit down without hesitation.
Huai Xiang: ¿
W-What’s the meaning of this??
Watching Cheng Shimumeng feed An Yu like a little cat, and An Yu happily accepting, Huai Xiang completely lost it.
What’s going on with you two? Suddenly feeding each other?
Fine, even the thick-browed one betrayed the organization. Definitely met An Yu secretly behind her back!
She knew Cheng Shimumeng was acting weird today, even rushing to grab cream puffs from the school store. So this was the plan?
So everyone made nice with An Yu except her?? The clown is me?!
“Shimumeng… Wanciu, y-you two!”
In an instant, Huai Xiang felt incoherent. She gritted her teeth, a crystalline tear forming in the corner of her eye.
Damn it. Conquering the loli without inviting her, now flaunting it in her face. She gets no hugs, no feeding?!
“U-Unforgivable!”
The scene turned into Huai Xiang vs. two. She had to scold both.
Meanwhile, An Yu in Ning Wanciu’s arms had no idea what they were arguing about. Of course, she had no interest in listening.
She was purely enjoying.
Cheng Shimumeng hadn’t lied. An Yu had misunderstood her. She really was the big pillow’s friend. Big pillow’s friends are good people.
Eating the puffs Cheng Shimumeng bought, An Yu thought this.
The puffs were different from Wang Man’s bread, but undeniably delicious. An Yu liked them.
“Ah woo.”
Accepting another feeding from Cheng Shimumeng, An Yu’s approval of her rose a bit.
Lower than Ning Wanciu, but at least higher than An Qing.
But unfortunately, bread plus puffs quickly filled her up.
Her body refused to become a bottomless stomach, so An Yu’s appetite was soon satisfied.
The full An Yu snuggled deeper into Ning Wanciu’s arms, using her warm palms to warm her full little belly.
Warm. Comfortable.
Too bad she had just slept, so she couldn’t fall asleep again.
Huai Xiang was still making noise nearby.
“Hey, hey, hey! Someone explain! No, someone pay attention to me!”
Ning Wanciu stayed silent because she didn’t know what to say. Cheng Shimumeng…
She was just being playfully mean.
She could explain, but she wouldn’t. She’d stay mysterious just to annoy Huai Xiang.
“AAAAH… You two! You’re so mean, how…… mmm?” Huai Xiang cried and fussed. How does everyone get something except her, excluded! But halfway through, she stopped. Her pretty face stiffened, looking lost.
Because An Yu made a move.
Truth be told, Huai Xiang was too loud. So An Yu reached out, aiming to make her stop.
From Ning Wanciu’s arms, An Yu leaned slightly forward, expressionless, gently patting Huai Xiang’s head.
Sure enough, Huai Xiang instantly quieted, staring blankly at An Yu.
Seeing her calm down, An Yu nodded, praising herself inwardly.
I’m so strong. Tamed a violent beast with ease!
I’m a genius at everything! Mhm… except gaming…
Feeling the warmth on her head, Huai Xiang’s stunned face gradually turned excited. Tears sparkled in her eyes.
“Waaah, little An Yu~”
Who could resist? The cold-faced loli notices your sadness and suddenly pats your head to comfort you.
Though An Yu’s face showed no expression, Huai Xiang could feel endless gentleness and care from that cold face.
Though that care existed only in Huai Xiang’s imagination.
Reality was cruel.
In truth, An Yu was just proud of taming Huai Xiang.
“Those two are both mean bullies, waaah little An Yu~”
Saying this, Huai Xiang pounced toward An Yu, seemingly seeking comfort.
But An Yu thought she was being attacked.
The hand on Huai Xiang’s head instinctively moved down, finally stopping on her pretty face.
An Yu gently pushed outward, blocking her movement.
Though An Yu’s force was light, Huai Xiang could feel it. She instinctively looked at An Yu’s expression.
And saw a clear trace of disdain on that cold little face.
