Chapter 210: Huai Xiang Cares a Lot

Almost subconsciously, Huai Xiang reached up and touched her own cheek.

But she quickly realized she had been tricked again.

Because the bad woman in front of her could no longer hold back her smile.

“Ah!”

Huai Xiang shouted angrily,

“Damn it, Cheng Shimumeng! You tricked me again!”

“Pfft, hahaha~”

Cheng Shimumeng finally burst out laughing. “I wasn’t tricking you~ Look, your face is actually red right now~”

“How dare you say that! I’ll beat you to death!”

Huai Xiang furiously waved her little fists, but she was only swinging them in the air.

She wasn’t actually going to hit Cheng Shimumeng.

“Pfft~”

Seeing her like this, Cheng Shimumeng couldn’t hold back and laughed again.

“Uwaa, you’re laughing again!”

Huai Xiang puffed out her cheeks, clearly a little upset.

Seeing the two of them about to start messing around again, Ning Wanciu helplessly spoke up to stop them.

“Alright, alright, stop fooling around. We’re already near An Yu’s house. Don’t let people see you making a spectacle of yourselves.”

“Wanciu, I’m not the one fooling around! Look at her!”

She grabbed Huai Xiang with her left hand and Cheng Shimumeng with her right, looking exactly like a mother taking care of her children.

Huai Xiang pointed angrily at Cheng Shimumeng, who was pretending to look completely innocent on the other side.

Perfect. Now she looked even more like a mom.

Because Huai Xiang was already tattling.

Ning Wanciu felt even more helpless. She could only comfort Huai Xiang in front of An Yu while telling Cheng Shimumeng to stop laughing.

“Seriously, you two… You can’t settle down even for one day…”

“Xiangxiang, An Yu is right here too, you know?”

Upon hearing that, Huai Xiang finally realized An Yu was also present. She sneaked a glance at An Yu, only to find the other girl looking back at her.

Huai Xiang’s face instantly turned red, and she stopped messing around.

Didn’t this mean An Yu had heard everything Cheng Shimumeng said just now?

No, wait!

What did she have to feel shy about!

She just wanted to get closer to An Yu and play together. 

Everyone already knew that!

Thinking of this, Huai Xiang immediately regained her confidence and sense of righteousness.

However, by the time she raised her head, Cheng Shimumeng and Ning Wanciu were no longer looking at her. 

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the golden-haired girl.

Ning Wanciu didn’t dodge either. She acted as if nothing was wrong and calmly looked at Cheng Shimumeng.

“Alright… no more fooling around. Little An Yu is home now, so we should head out too.”

Cheng Shimumeng said calmly, pulling Huai Xiang along with her.

“Let’s go, Xiangxiang~”

“Huh? Huh?! Wait, wait a second! Bad woman, what are you doing?!”

Huai Xiang clearly hadn’t reacted in time. She had no idea why Cheng Shimumeng had suddenly changed like this as she was dragged farther and farther away.

They had just been messing around moments ago. How did it suddenly turn into this?

Huai Xiang didn’t understand, so she struggled lightly.

Even though she was struggling, she wasn’t using much strength.

Huai Xiang saw that Cheng Shimumeng’s eyes were filled with seriousness. Although she didn’t quite understand why, she still didn’t cause a fuss.

Cheng Shimumeng pulled Huai Xiang farther and farther away.

She left a brief moment of privacy for the other two.

From the moment Ning Wanciu said, “Xiangxiang, An Yu is right here too, you know?” Cheng Shimumeng had understood.

Ning Wanciu had subconsciously used the person Huai Xiang currently cared about the most to make her behave.

So… she had probably guessed the red-haired dummy’s feelings, just like herself.

It was just that Ning Wanciu’s usual, damnably gentle nature was at work again.

“Heh…”

Cheng Shimumeng let out a soft laugh subconsciously.

“Wanciu, oh Wanciu. Your gentleness might end up hurting you one day, you know?”

“Eek~”

Huai Xiang, who was still somewhat confused beside her, subconsciously shivered the moment she heard Cheng Shimumeng’s laugh.

As expected, the bad woman’s laugh was really scary!

On the other side, An Yu and Ning Wanciu watched the two of them leave with somewhat puzzled expressions.

They exchanged a glance and both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

Ning Wanciu, however, simply smiled it off.

“Alright, An Yu. I should get going too.”

Ning Wanciu gently pinched An Yu’s small hand. This would probably be her last contact with An Yu for today.

If it had been the usual her, she might not have thought much of it.

But the current Ning Wanciu couldn’t feel satisfied with just this.

As expected… she was still being too greedy…

Thinking this, Ning Wanciu’s smile gradually turned a little bitter. 

But she quickly covered it up. 

She didn’t want An Yu to notice.

Looking at the unchanged girl in front of her, the helplessness in Ning Wanciu’s eyes grew.

What should she do next…?

Just as Cheng Shimumeng had thought, Ning Wanciu had already realized that those “privileges” that originally belonged exclusively to her were starting to lose their exclusive label.

However, no matter what, this was her own problem for accidentally falling for An Yu.

So she could only worry about it by herself, right?

Ning Wanciu smiled gently and turned to leave.

But before she could, An Yu called out to her.

“Ning Wanciu, wait.”

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

Ning Wanciu turned around, only to see An Yu spreading her arms toward her, just like she did in class.

“An Yu?”

“Ning Wanciu, come here.”

An Yu’s cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as cold and clear as ice.

Ning Wanciu was a little confused. It was different from before. She hadn’t been left behind like Cheng Shimumeng.

Why?

“Ning Wanciu.”

An Yu blinked calmly, her words carrying a hint of command. “Lower your head.”

Ning Wanciu almost instinctively obeyed.

“Mm, just like that.”

An Yu nodded in satisfaction, then pulled Ning Wanciu into her arms.

“I’m sorry, Ning Wanciu. Did I make you feel lonely too?”

“Eh?”

Being hugged by An Yu, Ning Wanciu trembled subconsciously. 

Her entire person fell into a state of surprise she couldn’t pull herself out of.

“Ning Wanciu is very important.”

Her voice was ice-cold, yet her words were so straightforward.

This left Ning Wanciu at a loss.

To An Yu, no matter what, Ning Wanciu was the most special one.

She was her exclusive big pillow.

For some reason, she felt that Ning Wanciu’s smile earlier had looked forced.

So An Yu thought her big pillow needed some comfort.

“Therefore, it’s fine. Ning Wanciu, you can come find me anytime.”

This was Ning Wanciu’s special privilege.

Ning Wanciu remained silent for a long time. 

Maybe… she really was starting to lose some of the privileges that had once belonged only to her.

There were many things she wanted to say, but in the end, they all came down to this one word.

“…Okay.”

Ning Wanciu curved her lips into a heartfelt smile.

As long as An Yu was still here, she wouldn’t lose anything.
