Chapter 189: Somewhat Cool Lips

“Mm…”

In the middle of the night, An Yu, who was sleeping, frowned and turned over uncomfortably.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Sensing a different touch than usual, An Yu slowly opened her eyes.

An unfamiliar… ceiling.

What was going on… she couldn’t remember clearly.

She needed… to use the bathroom.

“Haaah…”

An Yu let out a sleepy yawn, her consciousness still hazy.

She slowly climbed out of bed, staggered over, and opened the door to Ning Dongli’s room before walking out.

Toilet… toilet…

An Yu kept her eyes half-closed, barely able to see the path in front of her.

Fortunately, she still managed to find the bathroom successfully.

“Mm, it’s here…”

An Yu reached out and pulled open the bathroom door. She quickly pulled down her panties, lifted the toilet lid, and sat down.

The sound of rushing water followed. An Yu felt much more relieved. Because she had needed to pee so badly, she had almost had a nightmare about it.

Luckily, she had woken up in time.

An Yu tore off some toilet paper, cleaned herself properly, pulled her panties back up, washed her hands, and left.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she ran into a problem.

She had woken up from her dream, but she still hadn’t fully shaken off her drowsiness.

“Hmm…”

Where was her room again?

An Yu tilted her head expressionlessly, feeling a bit dazed and confused.

Whatever.

She’d just follow her instincts. It was usually correct.

An Yu took a step and casually chose a direction.

As she walked, she actually arrived at a somewhat familiar door.

An Yu nodded. She had found the right one after all.

Time to sleep.

“Haaah…”

The sleepy An Yu yawned once more, then pushed open the bedroom door.

She quickly walked over to the soft bedding, lifted the blanket, and slipped inside at once.

“Huu…”

An Yu let out a comfortable sigh almost instinctively.

For some reason, the bed felt much more comfortable than before.

She scooted a little closer to the side, closed her eyes contentedly, and went back to sleep.

“Good night.”

An Yu had returned to sleep, but Ning Wanciu woke up instantly.

Just now, she had suddenly felt someone open her bedroom door and had jolted awake.

Before she could say anything, that person had slipped straight into her bed and even hugged her.

Feeling the familiar softness in her arms, Ning Wanciu knew without a doubt that it was An Yu.

“An Yu… An Yu…?”

Ning Wanciu subconsciously sat up and shook the girl gently from above.

Things were different now. Having realized her own feelings, Ning Wanciu was even less willing to casually sleep while hugging An Yu.

Besides, wasn’t An Yu supposed to be sleeping together with Ning Dongli?

She sighed helplessly. …Why did she suddenly come over… She must have walked into the wrong room.

Should she… wake her up?

Ning Wanciu hesitated once again.

It wasn’t their first time sleeping in the same bed. It wouldn’t be a problem if she didn’t wake her.

She had just told herself she didn’t dare, yet here she was hesitating again. It was rare for Ning Wanciu to have such an internal conflict.

But…

She should probably still send her back, right?

“An Yu?”

Ning Wanciu called her name tentatively. Her voice was soft and carried no real intention of making An Yu leave.

After all, it was very difficult to wake An Yu once she was asleep. She had known that from the beginning.

Seeming to hear someone calling her name, An Yu subconsciously turned over and moved beneath Ning Wanciu. Her eyelashes trembled lightly.

“Ah…”

This position was a bit…

It looked almost as if Ning Wanciu was pinning An Yu down, about to do something to her.

This illusion made Ning Wanciu’s face burn even hotter.

At the worst possible moment, An Yu slowly opened her eyes.

“Ah… An Yu…!”

Ning Wanciu let out a startled cry and looked at the girl beneath her in complete panic.

“Ning… Wanciu?!”

“Mm, it’s me.”

There was no point denying it now. She had to explain first.

“Get closer… Ning Wanciu…”

“…Huh?”

Ning Wanciu froze, completely not expecting those to be An Yu’s first words in this situation.

An Yu was still quite drowsy, but she had recognized that the person pressing down on her was Ning Wanciu.

However, she seemed too far away.

An Yu didn’t like that.

A big pillow should always be used for resting.

Only then would sleeping feel comfortable.

So An Yu reached out and wrapped her arms around Ning Wanciu’s waist, pulling her closer with gentle force.

“An Yu! What are you doing!”

Ning Wanciu nearly got pulled down. If that really happened, it would be too much for her heart to handle.

“Because we need to sleep.”

An Yu’s voice sounded hazy and soft.

“B-but…”

“No buts.”

“Ning Wanciu, you’re being really strange today.”

The girl kept her eyes half-open. Her amber eyes glowed faintly in the darkness, drawing Ning Wanciu’s gaze.

“Strange…?”

“Mm. You seem unhappy, but you won’t tell me at all.”

An Yu’s tone unusually carried a trace of complaint.

“I… I’m not.”

Ning Wanciu pressed her lips together and chose to deny it.

However, An Yu didn’t pursue the topic. She simply stared seriously at Ning Wanciu’s face.

“You’re blushing again.”

“Ah… this is…”

Ning Wanciu wanted to use the excuse An Yu had given her before, but An Yu interrupted her.

“It’s not hot at all today.”

An Yu removed one hand from Ning Wanciu’s waist and touched her forehead, as if checking something.

“You’re not sick either.”

After speaking, An Yu moved her hand away from the forehead and wrapped it back around Ning Wanciu’s waist.

She couldn’t let the big pillow have any chance to escape.

Ning Wanciu stared blankly at the suddenly very aggressive girl. All the excuses she could think of had been denied by An Yu.

“Ning Wanciu, you’ve been secretly looking at me all day today.”

“Wha…?!”

Ning Wanciu was shocked. She was genuinely flustered this time. She had never imagined An Yu would notice that too.

Of course An Yu would notice. She was extremely sensitive to gazes.

Just like how she had noticed An Qing secretly watching her, Ning Wanciu had been easily exposed.

“Ning Wanciu, you don’t need to do it secretly.”

An Yu nodded slightly and stared seriously into Ning Wanciu’s eyes, though she still looked drowsy.

Ning Wanciu blinked and still couldn’t say anything.

Even after discovering she had been secretly watching her, An Yu showed no special reaction…

“Look at me.”

Seeing Ning Wanciu avert her gaze again, An Yu said somewhat unhappily.

“If you want to look, then look. Because you’re Ning Wanciu.”

The big pillow would never reject her, and she would never reject the big pillow either.

This was also… a kind of politeness?

With just a slight reach, she could easily touch her.

Ning Wanciu’s body trembled. She subconsciously lowered her head and stared at the petite girl beneath her.

She probably wouldn’t reject it at all. She might even feel happy.

Even so, Ning Wanciu still didn’t make a move. She simply looked at An Yu very seriously.

“Ning Wanciu, your eyes look so strange.”

An Yu blinked sleepily, as if she was about to fall asleep again, yet she continued speaking to Ning Wanciu:

“I… am not… to be eaten.”

“An Yu…?”

“You can’t… eat me.”

In her drowsy state, An Yu was talking nonsense based purely on instinct, yet she had coincidentally struck right at Ning Wanciu’s heart.

“Me?!”

In an instant, Ning Wanciu became completely flustered.

“I-I don’t want to eat… An Yu… I…”

She explained incoherently, momentarily forgetting that she was currently pinning An Yu down.

“Whatever. Sleep first…”

An Yu replied hazily with those last words, then used the last bit of her strength to hug Ning Wanciu’s waist tightly.

“Uwaah!”

Losing the support of her arms, she fell toward An Yu’s body.

In a panic, Ning Wanciu was pulled down by An Yu. Because she had tightly closed her eyes, she barely managed to wrap her arms around An Yu at the very last second, preventing herself from crushing directly on top of her.

Although neither of them was hurt, their position had become extremely intimate.

Ning Wanciu’s body was pressed tightly against the girl’s petite frame. Against her lips… was a soft, cool sensation.
