Chapter 262: After Washing Up

Ning Wanciu came out of the bathroom.

By then, all three of them had already returned to a state of calm.

However, Ning Wanciu had indeed spent a very long time washing up.

No one knew whether she had simply been washing up or whether she had been unable to calm herself down for quite a while.

Looking at the two dazed and silent girls, Ning Wanciu spoke with some awkwardness.

“So… what about today?”

Her words fell.

Ning Wanciu looked at An Yu, waiting for her reaction.

“Today, I want to go home.”

An Yu’s answer carried some hesitation.

In truth, she also did not know what she should do today.

Speaking of which, when she came to Ning Wanciu’s house yesterday, a trace of unease had suddenly risen in her heart.

The girl’s voice had already returned to its original clear coldness.

When she looked at Ning Wanciu, she no longer dodged.

The prerequisite was that Ning Wanciu did not use that aggressive gaze to meet her eyes.

Those things…

She still had not figured them out yet.

“Alright. Then I’ll send you home.”

Whatever An Yu said was what it was.

Ning Wanciu smiled and did not say anything more.

To her, whatever An Yu said was what it was.

“Ah, right. Dongli, did you accept Shimumeng’s invitation?”

While putting on her clothes, Ning Wanciu suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Dongli beside her.

Hearing this, Ning Dongli lowered her head in silence.

She seemed to feel a trace of guilt.

She had not only agreed to play with Cheng Shimumeng together.

If she had not wanted to, it would have been fine…

Shimumeng had only been acting on a whim. She was not a bad person.

Ning Wanciu saw Ning Dongli’s silence and thought she was afraid of Cheng Shimumeng.

She tried to speak up in Cheng Shimumeng’s defense.

However, in Ning Dongli’s ears, those words sounded somewhat different.

That’s right…

Cheng Shimumeng really was not a bad person.

It was just that, compared to her, Ning Dongli, it might not be the same for Ning Wanciu.

Ning Dongli lifted her head.

The expression on her face was somewhat complicated.

Ning Wanciu was left stunned.

“So it’s fine even if you didn’t accept. I’ll go talk to her later and…”

“No. I accepted. I’ll go play with everyone later.”

Ning Dongli shook her head and interrupted Ning Wanciu’s words.

Although she had not expected this result, she quickly put on a smile.

“That’s good, that’s good!”

Ning Wanciu froze.

She seemed somewhat surprised that Ning Dongli had accepted the invitation.

She looked very relieved, as if it was because she and her good sister had finally built a bridge between them.

But unfortunately, Ning Dongli felt that Ning Wanciu was happy too early.

However, Ning Dongli did not say it out loud.

“Then… Big Sis, you two go ahead. I’m going to sleep in for a while.”

Ning Dongli did not say anything more.

She simply yawned and put on a very sleepy expression.

In truth, she really was very sleepy.

She had not slept well last night because all sorts of things had troubled her the entire night.

Fortunately, she had plenty of time to sleep every day.

Being kept at home by her older sister had this kind of benefit.

“Mm… Not coming together?”

An Yu lifted her head and blinked expressionlessly.

Ning Dongli subconsciously looked at An Yu.

Although it was hard to refuse, she still shook her head.

“I won’t. Remember to find me when you want to play games, An Yu. Also, next time you have to invite me on a date too!”

Right in front of Ning Wanciu, she unhesitatingly hugged the dazed girl.

She curved her lips and revealed the gentlest smile of her life.

“See you next time!”

Ning Dongli whispered softly beside An Yu’s ear.

She closed her eyes and silently felt the girl’s body warmth.

This was the first time Ning Dongli had actively hugged An Yu.

It felt really good.

She wanted to hug her like this for a lifetime.

An Yu blinked dazedly.

She felt that Ning Dongli’s reaction looked as if they were parting for life and death.

In a place An Yu could not see, Ning Dongli secretly raised her head and shot Ning Wanciu a look.

She did not speak again, but her meaning was very clear.

This time, she would let her older sister and An Yu be alone.

But there would be no next time.

She would not give up either!

Afterward, Ning Dongli lowered her head.

She slowly and reluctantly left An Yu’s embrace.

However, before leaving, she left one sentence beside An Yu’s ear.

“Thank you… I like you the most… An Yu.”

After speaking, Ning Dongli unhesitatingly ran off.

She quickly returned to her own room.

An Yu stared blankly at Ning Dongli’s back.

She seemed somewhat unable to react.

However, Ning Wanciu did not wait for her to react.

She directly took hold of her hand.

“Alright, let’s go, An Yu.”

After speaking, she pulled An Yu to the door.

Then, under An Yu’s clear and cold gaze, she slowly squatted down.

“Come… lift your foot.”

An Yu blinked expressionlessly.

She subconsciously followed the instruction and lifted her small foot wearing pure white stockings.

Then came the other foot.

Before she could react, Ning Wanciu had already put shoes on for her.

An Yu continued to comply in silence.

However, she still felt somewhat unable to react.

Mm…

What just happened?

What was Ning Wanciu doing?

Of course, Ning Wanciu would not explain.

“Alright. We can go now.”

Ning Wanciu smiled and extended her hand toward An Yu.

An Yu also subconsciously took it.

The two of them held hands and left Ning Wanciu’s home together.

They walked onto the road leading back to the An family.

On the other side, the An family.

At this moment, An Qing was in her bedroom.

Heavy dark circles hung under her eyes.

She had already changed her clothes.

If she could, she really wished she could just sleep to death like this.

However, she could not fall asleep even for a single minute.

Reality had dealt her a heavy blow.

One thing after another had plunged her into endless setbacks.

She had just watched with her own eyes as An Yu left with another woman.

Upon returning home, she also had to hear the news about getting engaged to Chen Guang.

Heh.

An Qing let out a cold laugh.

Her entire being was in an extreme state of mind.

Throughout the entire An family, except for her, everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, overflowing with a joyful atmosphere.

When she saw all this, she only wanted to destroy everything.

Again.

The An family was once again beginning to make use of her.

And this time, she seemed to truly have no way to deal with it.

All of An Qing’s actions were merely stalling for time.

Now that Chen Guang had come knocking on the door…

She had to make Chen Guang head toward destruction in advance.

Anyway… An Yu did not care about Chen Guang, right?

So she did not need to keep this man around either.

She had to resolve this quickly.

She had to resolve this quickly…

Everything, everything, everything.

All obstacles blocking her from understanding An Yu had to be cleared away completely.

She slowly took out a dark-colored hair accessory from beside her.

In the girl’s crimson eyes was written a sinister emotion.

One more again.
