Chapter 203: Day Two (1)

“Can’t You Tell Me, Zero Two Grass?”

Huai Xiang could only lower her head, pretending she hadn’t noticed anything at all. 

The luxurious lunch Cheng Shimumeng brought now tasted like wax in her mouth. 

The overly innocent Huai Xiang felt that the reason the atmosphere had become so awkward was all because of her. 

However, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t come up with a way to fix it and could only worry helplessly. 

Huai Xiang subconsciously began recalling what the three of them used to do before An Yu arrived. 

They would chat about TV dramas they had watched before? 

Or share gossip and boring rumors they had heard? 

It was usually just things like that. 

Recalling it seemed useless though, because Huai Xiang hadn’t watched any TV dramas or anything lately. 

In her mind, besides honing her gaming skills to defeat Cheng Shimumeng, there was only An Yu. 

If she wanted to find a topic, she could probably only start with An Yu. 

That wouldn’t work. 

Huai Xiang was too embarrassed to say it out loud. 

She secretly raised her eyes to check the other two’s reactions and found they were still the same as before, heads down eating with no intention of speaking. 

Oh my god! 

For Huai Xiang, who loved lively atmospheres and was even a bit of a chatterbox, this was pure torture. 

Find a topic… find a topic… 

Damn it, nothing but An Yu came to mind. What should she do? 

Someone save her! 

Why wasn’t the bad woman saying anything either? Was she enjoying the show? 

It felt exactly like that! She must have noticed how embarrassed Huai Xiang was and was staying silent on purpose to watch her squirm?! 

Huai Xiang thought it over, and the more she did, the more convinced she became that was the case. 

Too evil. 

She prepared to glare hard with her eyes. 

After all, she didn’t have any other ways to beat Cheng Shimumeng, did she! 

Huai Xiang followed through. 

She lifted her head and stared fiercely at Cheng Shimumeng, intending to give her a strong glare. 

“Um…” 

But as soon as she looked up, Huai Xiang got a fright. 

Her fierce expression hadn’t faded yet when she saw that, at some unknown point, An Yu had suddenly appeared in front of her like she had refreshed into view. 

When did she get here? 

Yes, it really was like she refreshed, because Huai Xiang hadn’t noticed her arrival at all. 

Startled, Huai Xiang quickly composed her expression. 

“An-An Yu?!” 

After all, she was planning to glare at the bad woman. 

An Yu wasn’t the bad woman—she was the best! 

No! 

Why was An Yu here? 

Wasn’t she supposed to have something to do and couldn’t make it? 

Huai Xiang blinked, staring dazedly at the girl before her without looking away. 

For some reason, even though Ning Wanciu and Cheng Shimumeng still hadn’t spoken, Huai Xiang felt the awkwardness in the air vanish. 

Was it because An Yu had returned? 

Then… she was saved… 

An Yu nodded with a cold expression. 

She wasn’t startled by Huai Xiang’s look. Rather, no one would be scared by such a cute and flustered gaze. 

An Yu… what’s… what’s wrong… 

Seeing An Yu suddenly lean in close, Huai Xiang felt a wave of panic. 

After all, from earlier on, Huai Xiang had been thinking about An Yu nonstop without pausing for even a second. 

Having An Yu suddenly get this close now felt strangely off somehow. 

Normally, she would just happily say… 

Huai Xiang’s eyes dodged away. She didn’t quite dare to look at An Yu, but she secretly bit her lip. 

She had ended up like this, and it was all that bad woman’s fault! 

If Cheng Shimumeng hadn’t deliberately watched the drama and made the atmosphere so awkward, how could she possibly not dare to look at An Yu! 

It was a good thing Cheng Shimumeng couldn’t read minds. 

If she knew what Huai Xiang was thinking, the next gaming session wouldn’t just be a simple bullying. 

Of course, Huai Xiang had no time to think about Cheng Shimumeng right now. 

She was in big trouble… 

Was An Yu standing too close?! 

It made her not even dare to lift her head! 

Huai Xiang thought about closing the distance with An Yu all day long, but now that An Yu had actually come over, she was getting cold feet. 

Just as Huai Xiang sensed, An Yu stood right in front of her, extremely close. 

A little further and they would be touching. 

For some unknown reason, An Yu stared intently at Huai Xiang without letting up, making it impossible for her to move. 

What… what on earth is going on! 

The sense of relief from An Yu’s return disappeared in an instant. 

Huai Xiang felt even more panicked than before, left with nothing but nervousness. 

While Huai Xiang was lost in thought, An Yu spoke. 

“Xiangxiang.” 

“Here! I’m here!” 

Huai Xiang answered in a flustered rush, like a student being called during military training. 

She lifted her head to see An Yu standing beside her, looking down at her from above. 

From her expression, it was impossible to tell what An Yu was thinking, which only made Huai Xiang more alarmed. 

Looking at An Yu’s slightly parted cherry lips, Huai Xiang felt as if she were waiting for judgment, completely at a loss. 

“You… what’s wrong?” 

An Yu stared into Huai Xiang’s somewhat nervous light purple eyes and tilted her head in confusion. 

Huai Xiang had been acting strange since this morning. 

It seemed faintly… resentful? 

An Yu didn’t quite understand such things, but she knew that Huai Xiang had come looking for her today probably wanting to talk during lunch break.

There must be something she couldn’t bring herself to say. 

That was why An Yu had returned to the activity room. 

Instead of going to Ning Wanciu, she came to speak with Huai Xiang. 

“Throat… I, hand… I’m not… not like anything, little An Yu…” 

Huai Xiang nervously looked away. 

She actually didn’t quite understand what An Yu meant. 

Rather, what was going on with An Yu? 

Not going to Ning Wanciu and getting so close to her instead… 

“Hmm?” 

An Yu blinked, puzzled, not understanding why Huai Xiang wasn’t being honest. 

She pulled out the chair beside Huai Xiang and sat down next to her. 

Then she reached out and poked her cheek with a finger. 

“Uu?” 

Feeling the touch on her cheek, Huai Xiang looked at An Yu helplessly. 

“Xiangxiang, are you angry?” 

An Yu’s tone was completely flat. 

Since Huai Xiang wouldn’t tell the truth, she could only ask based on her own guess. 

She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Huai Xiang, so she had to speculate. 

At this point, Huai Xiang could no longer care about embarrassment or shyness. 

“What?! No way, I wouldn’t get angry!” 

She stared seriously into An Yu’s eyes, no longer dodging. 

She would never get angry at An Yu. 

If anything, she liked her a lot! 

An Yu blinked dazedly, observing Huai Xiang’s rather excited reaction. 

She still felt like Huai Xiang held some resentment. But why? 

“Then… what’s the matter?” 

An Yu tilted her head. 

“Xiangxiang, is there something you want to say but can’t tell me?” 

If there was something Huai Xiang wanted her to do, she needed to say it out loud. 

Because if she didn’t say it, An Yu wouldn’t know. 

Hearing An Yu’s words, Huai Xiang subconsciously froze. 

She really wouldn’t get angry at An Yu… and she did have something she wanted to say.
