Inside the car, An Yu leaned against the window and gently closed her eyes.
She was too lazy to respond to An Yunfan’s words or deal with An Qing’s acting, so pretending to sleep was her best choice.
However, even if she ignored An Qing, the heroine wouldn’t let her off easily.
Though An Qing responded sporadically to An Yunfan in a very gentle tone, An Yu could still sense that her mood was terrible.
And the reason for that mood seemed to be An Yu herself.
The malicious glances thrown her way every few moments were the best proof.
Those eyes made An Yu feel cold all over, causing her to tremble slightly.
Sitting in the same car, on the same row, must really upset An Qing.
An Yu nodded in agreement in her heart. She didn’t want to sit with her enemy either.
Since that was the case, from now on—whether going to or from school—An Yu would stay far away from her.
Though An Qing hated her, An Yu could still secretly satisfy her on these small matters.
Because An Yu is kind!
Praising herself in her mind, An Yu’s mood improved. Though the atmosphere in the car remained heavy, she wasn’t as scared anymore.
Soon, the car arrived at the An family home.
Feeling the car stop, An Yu rubbed her eyes and pretended to have just woken up.
It might look fake, but she did it anyway. Otherwise, if she kept pretending to sleep, it would be An Qing’s turn to wake her.
An Qing probably didn’t want to touch her either, so An Yu considerately woke up herself.
As expected, the moment An Yu opened her eyes, she saw An Qing beside her, reaching out as if to wake her. But An Yu flinched and dodged instantly.
“Phew…”
Instinctively exhaling, An Yu marveled at her quick reflexes. Good thing I dodged fast, or the heroine would’ve been forced to touch me.
Hope the heroine notices my good intentions and hates me less. Then maybe the revenge will involve less torment.
[Detected An Qing’s hatred value rising.]
Just as An Yu was feeling smug, the system’s notification rang in her mind.
Looking at An Qing with her hand frozen in mid-air, An Yu blinked instinctively. What do you mean, hatred value rising?
Not only did she not thank me, she hates me more now?
With over 900 hatred already, it can still go up?
An Yu didn’t understand, but she was greatly shocked.
Reborn heroines really don’t play fair. In her eyes, everything I do is wrong. And you still want me to reconcile? How is that possible?!
An Yu turned expressionlessly, opened the car door, and got out, ignoring the clearly stunned An Qing.
Since everything I do is wrong, then I’ll do nothing. She’ll hate me no matter what, so running away can’t be wrong, right?
[Host……]
The system’s hesitant voice sounded in An Yu’s mind.
“What now?” An Yu instinctively frowned.
[Sigh… Detected An Qing’s hatred value rising again.]
An Yu: ?
So literally anything I do is wrong? Just existing makes her hate me? Even getting out first increases it?
Next time, I’ll let you go first!
An Yu shook her head speechlessly, inwardly ranting fiercely.
At this rate, hatred will break 1000 soon…
“System, is there a reward when hatred breaks 1000?”
System: ?
[Host, is it possible that our goal is to reduce hatred value, not increase it?]
The system’s voice grew even more helpless. No punishment is already merciful! And she wants a reward?
In all my time as a system, I’ve never seen a host who can make the target’s hatred skyrocket just by staying silent!
[Also, An Qing’s hatred value just broke 1000.]
Out of a system’s conscience, she reminded her. With such intense hatred, there’s a chance An Qing might snap one day and act regardless of her plan.
“It rose that fast?”
An Yu hadn’t expected it to climb so quickly and spoke aloud without thinking.
“What rose fast?”
A voice came from behind. An Yu turned to see An Qing standing there, coldly staring at her.
As expected of the heroine—even a cold expression looks good.
But unfortunately, her hatred had already broken 1000.
An Yu shook her head expressionlessly and said nothing. There was no need to explain.
The two locked eyes, neither looking away.
“What are you two standing around for? Waiting for me?”
Just as the tension peaked, the middle-aged man’s voice came from behind. Both turned instantly. It was An Yunfan—he had parked and walked over.
Hearing him, An Yu remained expressionless, while An Qing smiled and nodded.
“Hahaha, good, good. I have two wonderful girls!” He laughed cheerfully, clearly in a good mood.
The three walked toward the house together. An Yu and An Qing stayed silent.
An Yunfan, as if oblivious, stopped at the front door and suddenly spoke to them:
“Are you two getting along well?”
An Yu paused, saying nothing.
Does 1000 hatred count as getting along well?
Unlike An Yu, An Qing gently curved her lips into a warm smile: “Pretty well. I really like An Yu… this sister.”
Hearing this, An Yu instinctively glanced at her.
As expected of the heroine—she can say anything. Hates me to death but says she likes me. Impressive.
If it were me, I couldn’t do it. Like means like, hate means hate.
“Hahaha, as expected! I knew you two would get along perfectly!”
An Yunfan looked as if it were only natural and laughed heartily.
In that moment, An Yu was even more speechless. Her gaze darted between An Qing and An Yunfan.
How did he come to that conclusion?
An Qing has over a thousand hatred toward me!
Tired. Really tired. An Yu already missed her golden-haired big pillow.
But it didn’t matter. The bed and pillow in her bedroom weren’t much worse than Ning Wanciu. She had slept comfortably last night. However, perhaps because someone in the house hated her, she felt less secure than in Ning Wanciu’s arms.
Though An Yu wanted to go straight to her room and sleep, reality disagreed.
An Yunfan opened the villa door and cheerfully said to An Qing and An Yu: “Go wash your hands. Dinner should be ready soon.”
Though his smile never faded, An Yu could sense seriousness in his expression.
She understood. Returning straight to her soft bed was impossible.
Because the main plot was about to begin.
