Chen Yu frowned as he picked up his phone.
This account rarely received messages from anyone.
It was mostly just one group chat set to do not disturb and a few girls who would ask him about yuri-related things.
Looking at the friend request on the screen, Chen Yu was stunned for a moment before his expression quickly turned to delight.
“Whoa, big sis! You finally decided to add me!”
At a time like this, the only person who would add this account was An Qing.
Chen Yu excitedly accepted An Qing’s friend request. Now he could finally ask about the recent situation.
After all, this pair of sisters was the CP he was most invested in lately.
No manga could quite capture that feeling.
What to do? He’d start with a greeting!
So he sent a message.
【Sisters Are Right】: An Qing, right? I’m Chen Yu. You finally added me as a friend.
After sending it, Chen Yu stared at his phone with anticipation, waiting for An Qing’s reply.
But unfortunately, the message sank like a stone into the sea. An Qing did not reply at all.
No way.
Had she gone to school and not seen it?
She added him but didn’t reply?
Was she trying to kill him with suspense?
Anyway, he’d send another one.
【Sisters Are Right】: If you have any questions or conflicts about your situation, you can ask me. I can help you.
Chen Yu frowned as he looked at the message he had sent.
This should be fine, right?
An Qing wasn’t a fool; she should understand, right?
After all, with this kind of taboo relationship, a slight hint would be enough for An Qing to realize who he was referring to.
He really wanted to know what had happened between An Qing and An Yu after that.
Had the manga he gave them had any effect?
Huu.
Chen Yu sighed and set his phone down.
Since An Qing had gone to school and couldn’t reply right now, there was no point worrying about it.
He’d wait and see later.
Ding—
【An Qing】: Our situation? You can help with that?
On the other side, after picking up the slip of paper, An Qing had been hesitating the entire time.
The note contained Chen Yu’s contact information. An Qing had no idea what Chen Yu—or rather, what An Yu—wanted to accomplish with this.
Having to overthink everything every day, An Qing was already starting to feel fed up with herself.
An Yu could do whatever she wanted. She might as well do the same.
Chen Yu… Let me see exactly what kind of game you two are playing.
An Qing tapped lightly on her phone and decisively added Chen Yu’s contact.
The instant she sent the request, the other party accepted it immediately, which left An Qing a little stunned.
It was as if Chen Yu had been waiting impatiently.
But whether in this life or the previous one, she and Chen Yu had never had much interaction.
What on earth could have led to this outcome?
Or was it simply a coincidence?
An Qing frowned.
Ever since her rebirth, she often felt that many people exceeded her understanding.
But… that was normal, she supposed.
An Qing looked at the phone in her hand. The other side quickly sent a message—it was just a simple greeting along with a mild complaint.
It seemed Chen Yu had been waiting for her to add him as a friend, and for quite a while at that.
An Qing frowned but had no intention of replying right away. She could deal with it after school.
However, she was soon drawn in by Chen Yu’s second message.
“Our situation? Her and whose situation?”
An Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing through her crimson pupils.
It was them. Chen Yu had only interacted with her and An Yu, so even without explanation, she knew exactly who “we” referred to.
But why?
According to her understanding, shouldn’t Chen Yu be on An Yu’s side?
Then… had An Yu asked him to do something like this?
An Qing found it puzzling. The An Yu of this life was clearly different from the previous one, and there were many things she couldn’t figure out.
But from what had happened over the past two days, An Qing understood that An Yu most likely no longer needed her.
Otherwise… with such a good opportunity, An Yu would not have done nothing.
If it had been the previous life, An Yu could have easily used this to raise her favorability and earn her trust.
But she had done absolutely nothing.
Once a fixed impression was formed, it was difficult to change on one’s own.
For the time being, she still could not break free from her impressions of the previous life and view An Yu with a purer perspective.
An Qing needed an ally.
On the other side, after finishing washing up, An Yu and Ning Wanciu left the house together.
Ning Dongli did not come out, since she did not need to attend school.
Today was probably the happiest An Yu had ever felt on her way to school.
On the walk to school, she had her big pillow accompanying her.
The two of them held hands, chatting and laughing along the way… Well, not exactly chatting and laughing a lot.
Mainly, Ning Wanciu was a little dumbfounded.
The first half was fine. They were simply heading to school as usual. But halfway through the journey, things suddenly turned strange.
As they walked, several cats suddenly darted out onto the road, affectionately rubbing against An Yu’s legs.
An Yu, however, acted as if this were completely normal and paid them no mind.
But the farther they went, the more cats there were.
Not to mention, Ning Wanciu had never encountered many cats on this road before.
And then…
These cats were practically escorting An Yu. What was going on here?!
No matter how hard Ning Wanciu racked her brain, she could not figure it out.
She looked back at the cats following behind them in astonishment, then glanced at An Yu beside her.
For some reason, An Yu herself was like a human-shaped cat, but she was not actually a cat, nor was she the cat queen!
In the end, she asked, “Um, An Yu?”
“Hm?”
An Yu lifted her head with an expressionless face and stared at Ning Wanciu, who had posed the question.
It was very cute, but Ning Wanciu still hoped she would pay some attention to the abnormal situation happening right now.
“What’s going on with these cats…?”
Ning Wanciu pointed at the cats behind them and asked, at a loss.
“Mm.” An Yu pondered for a moment, seeming to think about how to answer. “I don’t know.”
Great. Quality answer.
“You don’t know?”
Ning Wanciu blinked, staring in shock at the girl before her who looked completely unconcerned.
“Mm. I don’t know.”
An Yu really did not know what was happening.
Normally, a few cats would just come over to rub against her when she passed by.
She had no idea why today seemed like all the cats she had ever petted had shown up.
But cats were cute, so it didn’t matter.
