Chapter 173: I’ve Always Been Here

Today was the same as yesterday; Ning Wanciu and the others didn’t need to send An Yu home.

The reason was very simple: today, An Yu was going home with Ning Wanciu.

An Yu held Ning Wanciu’s hand, her expression showing no change at all.

Along the way, everyone was very silent.

The more silent it was, the more embarrassed Ning Wanciu felt.

She always felt that her good sisters were looking at her strangely, as if judging a criminal.

And the fact was indeed so. 

Huai Xiang had no idea what had happened, and suddenly learned that An Yu was going to Ning Wanciu’s house as a guest.

You know, because of Ning Dongli’s reason, they couldn’t go to Ning Wanciu’s house at all!

Moreover, clearly the few of them had formed a new small group, but why did it feel like An Yu’s relationship was only improving with Ning Wanciu!

Weren’t they always together? Why was there differential treatment?

Ning Wanciu must have secretly received special treatment and tried to capture him alone! Secretly competing like that was really unfair!

She glared fiercely with her eyes!

Although Ning Wanciu didn’t have eyes on the back of her head, being stared at like that, she could still feel it.

She stopped somewhat awkwardly, turned her head, and softly said, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

Upon hearing this, Huai Xiang became even more puffed up with anger.

Still Versailles-ing!

She hadn’t even held An Yu’s little hand much…

Oh, she hadn’t held it at all!!

Hmph…!!

Thus.

Not only Huai Xiang was angrily staring at her back; Cheng Shimumeng was the same.

However, Cheng Shimumeng wasn’t angry; instead, she found it very interesting.

The progress… was increasing~

She knew a bit more than Huai Xiang, so she knew it was Ning Dongli who invited An Yu.

With Ning Dongli’s personality, meeting people was like asking for her life, yet she would directly invite An Yu as a guest…

She looked at Ning Wanciu in front, who was somewhat embarrassed, her lips curling up slightly, thinking of some interesting possibilities.

Ning Dongli might be the same as her sister, perhaps?

If it was as she thought, could Ning Wanciu still maintain her current composed posture?

Just thinking about it made Cheng Shimumeng want to laugh out loud.

Because An Yu had always favored Ning Wanciu, in such a situation, even if there were no thoughts in that direction, Ning Wanciu would subconsciously think she was the most special one.

Although the fact was indeed so; besides Ning Wanciu, An Yu wouldn’t be intimate with anyone else.

But ah…

What if Ning Dongli was the same?

What if Ning Wanciu was no longer the only special person?

“Hum hum~”

Cheng Shimumeng laughed, laughing very happily.

As if she had seen some interesting scene.

Whether Ning Wanciu was truly dense or simply confident without fear, she would see for herself.

As for how Cheng Shimumeng knew it was Ning Dongli who invited…

She had secretly asked An Yu at noon today.

Facing someone like An Yu, if you wanted to know something, just ask directly. 

As long as it was something she could tell, she generally wouldn’t hide it.

Like certain people, the more they thought, the more mistakes they made.

Cheng Shimumeng smiled, not knowing who the certain people she thought of referred to.

“Why… is no one talking?”

Completely unaware of what kind of situation she had fallen into, Ning Wanciu only felt like she was about to sweat.

Their expressions were simply as if she had already done something to An Yu.

What, what could she do?!

“Ning Wanciu.”

“Eh… what?”

Ning Wanciu turned her head upon hearing the voice, looking at An Yu.

An Yu was completely unaffected, as always with no expression, unable to see her emotions.

“You’re acting really strange.”

The girl half-opened her eyes, slightly lifted her head, and stared expressionlessly at Ning Wanciu’s azure eyes.

“…?”

In an instant, Ning Wanciu felt as if she had been seen through by something sharp. 

Even if she wasn’t nervous before, now she really was nervous.

Although, she didn’t know what exactly she was nervous about.

“Hand, shaking.”

An Yu blinked calmly. 

She had been holding Ning Wanciu’s hand all along; how could she not know?

From earlier, Ning Wanciu had been a bit off.

Always looking left and right, as if there was something she cared about.

On her forehead, she was even sweating.

Was she afraid, or worried about something?

So she took action. An Yu didn’t know; this was just her intuition.

Because Ning Wanciu was an important big pillow.

“I’m fine!”

Ning Wanciu forced a smile. Besides saying she was fine, she couldn’t say anything else.

She couldn’t say it was because of An Yu that she became so nervous, right?

She indeed hadn’t told them she was inviting An Yu home today, leading to this result now, which she could only bear alone.

Now not only had An Yu discovered it, but she seemed to be worried about her.

“Liar.”

An Yu slightly shook her head, her amber eyes narrowing a bit, looking somewhat displeased.

Ning Wanciu had clearly promised her not to lie.

Ah…

Ning Wanciu awkwardly shifted her gaze. She felt her good sisters’ stares becoming even sharper.

Normally, as long as she found an excuse, An Yu would believe it. Was it too obvious today?

“Sorry.”

Ning Wanciu could only choose to apologize. 

After all, it was her who broke the agreement. 

Although from the day she promised An Yu until now, she had already told countless lies.

“It’s okay.”

If it was Ning Wanciu, it was okay.

An Yu didn’t like lies, but she liked Ning Wanciu.

So as long as it was her, it could be forgiven. However, the lying issue was resolved. 

Although An Yu didn’t know what exactly Ning Wanciu was panicking about, for nervousness and fear, she had a way to deal with it.

On the side, Ning Wanciu clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although her good sisters’ eye attacks continued, at least An Yu wouldn’t blame her; that was enough.

“Lower your head, Ning Wanciu.”

Beside her, the girl’s voice came slowly, soft and sticky, with a hint of coolness, very pleasant to the ear.

Almost subconsciously, Ning Wanciu chose to do as told.

She slightly bent down, lowering her head.

And An Yu reached up, right on the roadside, in front of others, hugging Ning Wanciu’s head.

…!

Ning Wanciu hadn’t reacted yet when she bumped into a somewhat soft… but not particularly soft embrace.

“It’s okay, I’ve always been here.”

An Yu still remembered that comforting people was done like this.

…Hm??

An Yu frowned, suddenly feeling a bit strange.

But soon, she cast aside the slight strangeness and gently said, “Ning Wanciu, don’t be afraid.”

Ning Wanciu subconsciously closed her eyes. In An Yu’s embrace, she felt her heartbeat slow by half a beat.

But she quickly reacted.

This was on the street!

Originally it was nothing, but with An Yu doing this, she was really going to die socially!

“An, An Yu… I know…”
