Chapter 279: Take It Back

“Ah… wu~”

An Yu swallowed the fruit An Qing handed over in one bite.

She chewed expressionlessly.

Every piece was very sweet.

Whether she said it or not, the reborn female lead’s ability to pick fruit was quite strong.

An Yu comfortably rubbed against her.

She felt the soft embrace, yet her heart felt somewhat complicated.

Although being held by An Qing didn’t feel uncomfortable, An Yu still found it strange.

Because she was An Qing, not Ning Wanciu.

All in all, the reborn female lead was still inferior to the big pillow.

Although her service was very thorough.

Like a fully automatic high-tech pillow.

Mm… Unfortunately, An Yu preferred something softer, more comfortable, and more natural.

“Heh wu~”

An Yu took another bite of the fruit An Qing offered and blinked expressionlessly.

So, how much longer was this situation going to last?

An Qing… what exactly was she thinking?

What An Yu didn’t know was that An Qing wasn’t thinking about anything.

She was simply enjoying this moment.

No scheming.

No boring calculations.

No interference from scum or trash.

She was simply holding her treasure.

She was simply staying together with the person she liked.

An Qing had lived two lifetimes, and this moment was the calmest she had ever been.

The An Yu in her arms was very obedient and well-behaved.

Aside from occasionally swinging her white-stockinged little feet or rubbing against her, she barely moved.

How long had it been since she last held An Yu like this?

In her previous life, she only needed to act a little spoiled to receive the girl’s embrace.

But now, she needed the right time, place, and people to achieve this situation.

The confusion in An Qing’s heart grew even stronger.

She suddenly didn’t understand what she had been thinking when she first reincarnated.

Why had she done all those meaningless things?

Why couldn’t she see her own heart clearly?

But reality had no ifs, and there was no regret medicine for An Qing to take.

Heaven had already given her one chance to reincarnate.

She had chosen the wrong path herself.

She couldn’t blame anyone.

Even so, An Yu had still given her a chance.

She would cherish it.

She would cherish it properly.

“Mm… don’t touch.”

An Yu in her arms twisted uncomfortably.

Her tone was somewhat indifferent, yet a trace of displeasure could be heard.

An Qing kept touching her lower abdomen.

It was ticklish and strange.

An Qing nodded calmly.

However, she didn’t change their current position.

Ning Wanciu had already kissed her.

She hadn’t kissed An Yu yet.

So what was wrong with doing this much?

An Qing pressed her lips together.

That’s right.

Even now, she still hadn’t managed to kiss An Yu.

As for what had happened earlier while An Yu was sleeping…

“An Qing, you’re so annoying…”

When An Qing touched An Yu’s stomach again, An Yu finally made a move to resist.

She reached out to push An Qing’s hand away, but An Qing grabbed it in return.

“Mm?”

Taking advantage of An Yu’s delayed reaction, An Qing leaned back and casually grabbed An Yu, flipping her over.

To steady herself and avoid falling, An Yu had no choice but to adjust her position.

She ended up straddling An Qing’s lap.

The two of them faced each other on the sofa in an extremely intimate posture.

However, An Qing offered no explanation.

The usually well-behaved An Qing was acting strangely today.

And she kept going.

It was obvious that An Qing was acting off today.

An Yu looked at An Qing expressionlessly.

Her amber eyes blinked.

“What exactly is wrong with you? There must be some kind of problem somewhere.”

“It’s nothing.”

An Qing slightly curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

Then, under An Yu’s puzzled gaze, she wrapped her arms around An Yu’s waist and held her tightly.

“Mm, An Qing?”

An Yu almost lost her balance.

She could only hug An Qing’s body in return.

The distance between them was now only inches apart.

If An Qing wanted to, she could kiss An Yu’s small mouth right now.

However, she still chose to endure.

“An Yu…”

Looking at An Yu’s cute little face, An Qing subconsciously wanted to voice the question in her heart.

She wanted to ask how An Yu truly saw her.

But she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

She was afraid that the answer would be something she couldn’t bear.

So An Qing changed the subject.

“Are you… comfortable staying here?”

An Yu blinked expressionlessly.

She looked at the reborn female lead’s somewhat gentle face and tilted her head in confusion.

“Mm, it’s fine.”

This was the truth.

After all, she could sleep and there was food to eat.

But… was that really what An Qing wanted to say?

An Yu felt like there seemed to be something else An Qing wanted to say.

“You don’t… have anything else you want to say?”

An Yu slightly arched her body.

She sat on An Qing’s lap and looked down at An Qing’s eyes from above.

She was serious.

She felt that An Qing was very strange.

She clearly had something on her mind, yet she refused to say it.

The reborn female lead’s awkward personality was probably why others couldn’t understand her, right?

An Qing raised her head and stared back into An Yu’s amber eyes.

But An Qing still smiled and shook her head.

In those eyes, it seemed like nothing could be hidden.

“It’s nothing~” she smiled more happily than ever before. “An Yu… are you worried about me?”

An Qing spoke half-jokingly.

Just like the words she didn’t dare to ask, she already knew how An Yu saw her.

A stranger.

A completely ordinary stranger.

So… she still didn’t think An Yu would worry about a stranger.

“Yes.”

However, what she heard was an answer she hadn’t expected at all.

An Qing’s pupils trembled slightly.

From that amber color, she could tell that An Yu was serious.

An Yu was worried about her and had admitted it directly.

But… weren’t they supposed to have a stranger relationship?

“So, An Qing, what’s wrong with you? You’re acting really strange. All day today, An Qing has been very weird. Your emotions swing a lot. Sometimes you’re happy, sometimes you look very sad. Although the An Qing from the previous life as the female lead has nothing to do with the current her, the current An Qing is related to her. Watching An Qing become stranger and stranger, An Yu couldn’t just ignore it.”

“What’s wrong with me… I…”

An Qing raised her head and showed a somewhat lost expression.

“Something important to me was taken away by a bad person. Now I’m thinking about how to get it back.”

An Qing spoke softly.

Her expression looked full of complexity.

An Yu blinked in confusion and tilted her head, not understanding.

“Something important? Mm… Did she take it? Probably not. After all, in this life, she hasn’t done anything. Since she’s the female lead, she must have encountered some new villain again, right? Poor female lead. Why does she always get her things stolen?”

“An Yu, what do you think I should do?”

An Qing’s tone carried a trace of helplessness.

An Yu quickly believed her.

“Take it back.”
