An Yu naturally wouldn’t skimp on her praise, because it was the truth—Ning Dongli was indeed very strong.
The way she easily took on multiple opponents was truly cool.
“Woo…”
Ning Dongli gripped her hands tightly, her whole body feeling light and floaty, her delicate frame unconsciously trembling lightly.
So this is how it feels?
To be personally praised by name with the voice you like—is this the feeling!!
It was really too comfortable!
Moreover, today, hadn’t she overachieved her mission?
Yes, right? Yes, right?
Originally, she had only planned to play games together.
If she could get An Yu to turn on voice chat, that would already count as success.
But now, she had even received praise.
She really wasn’t some useless person, right?
After all, An Yu had praised her for being awesome!
“Hehe… hehehe~” Ning Dongli unconsciously let out a few silly giggles.
Fortunately, she was using push-to-talk, so An Yu didn’t hear them.
She could succeed—she was fine on her own!
“Cough, no, I can’t get carried away…”
Ning Dongli knew full well that her plan had more steps ahead.
This was only an initial success…
…
There were still many things she wanted to do next!
But
“Hehe~”
She unconsciously let out another silly giggle, instinctively replaying An Yu praising her for being awesome and cool.
Today, she was done for.
Ning Dongli’s ears were already completely red.
She really liked An Yu’s voice too much.
Before this, she had never imagined that today would go so successfully for her!
Things had far exceeded Ning Dongli’s expectations.
However, ever since meeting An Yu, nothing had been easy to predict anyway.
“Hoo… hoo.”
Deep breaths, relax.
What’s this little thing?
Think about your goals, Ning Dongli!
You’re the Ning Dongli who wants to become An Yu’s good friend, voice chat to sleep at night, and even make all sorts of requests!
And incidentally… you’re also the Ning Dongli certified by An Yu as super strong at games!
This small matter was nothing to worry about—there would definitely be more in the future!
Ning Dongli sniffled a little, deliberately maintaining a proud posture.
This way, her heart wouldn’t beat so fast…
“Hoo…”
Ning Dongli took a deep breath.
After steadying her mindset, she spoke softly: “An Yu, An Yu, shall we continue?”
…
She wanted to continue.
Playing games with An Yu was really fun—she just didn’t know what An Yu thought.
On the other side, hearing Ning Dongli’s question, An Yu subconsciously yawned.
Though she wanted to keep playing, she was already a bit sleepy.
Before this, setting up the new computer, downloading things, registering an account—all with Ning Dongli’s help—had gone smoothly, more or less.
But it had indeed taken quite a while.
Now that two matches were over, An Yu was starting to feel like sleeping.
So, she gently pressed the voice key and replied: “Today, no. Going to sleep.”
“Ah… is that so…”
Ning Dongli’s voice carried a hint of disappointment.
She hadn’t played enough yet…
“Hm.”
Though no one was in front of her, An Yu still nodded: “Tomorrow is Saturday, no school. Play with me.”
Tomorrow was Saturday—no classes at school, and no particular matters to attend to.
An Yu’s birthday was the day after tomorrow, on Sunday, while An Qing’s was the Monday after that.
Saturday had nothing to do—she needed a pillow sister to play games with her.
“Is that so! Got it, we’ll play tomorrow!”
In an instant, Ning Dongli’s voice became lively again.
“Hm.”
An Yu replied softly: “Then, good night, Ning Dongli.”
“Mhm, good night, An Yu…”
After saying good night to Ning Dongli, An Yu removed her headphones, shut down the computer, and turned off the lights.
There was no pre-bed phone session today, because it had turned into a pre-bed computer session.
She lay on the bed and closed her eyes expressionlessly.
She had to play games with Ning Dongli tomorrow, so she needed to sleep early and keep her energy up.
“Good night, System.”
【Good night, Host.】
Good—though Host was having fun playing with someone else, at least she still remembered her system before sleeping.
She wondered if she, as a system, was a bit useless?
But there was really no helping it—Host didn’t need her, so what could she do…
…
On the other side, Ning Dongli sat motionless in her gaming chair.
Unusually, she didn’t continue queuing for games—instead, she really shut down the computer.
Because An Yu was going to play with her tomorrow.
If An Yu was sleeping now, she would definitely wake up early, so Ning Dongli needed to match her schedule!
“But… good night, huh?”
She placed her hands on her chest, her eyes taking on a dreamy look.
Had she finally gained another person to exchange good nights with…
Ning Dongli felt that maybe she really could be a bit more confident?
After all, An Yu had never rejected her and had even proactively invited her to play games.
Were they… already considered friends?
Click—
While Ning Dongli was lost in her random thoughts, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from outside.
She blinked in confusion.
Because she had been wearing headphones the whole time, she had assumed her big sister was already home.
She was only coming back now?
Ning Dongli stood up.
Since she had decided not to game tonight and to sleep soon, she might as well go out and greet Ning Wanciu!
Thinking this, the corners of Ning Dongli’s mouth curved upward slightly.
Actually, it was because her joy had nowhere to go, so she wanted to talk to her big sister.
Ning Wanciu was a successful older sister who held a very important place in her little sister’s heart.
Ning Dongli almost instinctively relied on Ning Wanciu.
Meanwhile, Ning Wanciu outside the door knew nothing about what had happened at home.
Though she hadn’t done much, she looked exhausted—as if she had been taking care of two disobedient children.
That giant plushie had ultimately been placed at Cheng Shimumeng’s house.
Because Huai Xiang had no money to call a ride, if she really tried to carry it all the way home, it would be far too dangerous.
After all, the thing was so big it completely blocked her view.
Moreover, Huai Xiang hadn’t even considered what her family’s reaction would be when she brought something like that home.
Honestly, Ning Wanciu couldn’t understand how Cheng Shimumeng had convinced Huai Xiang to buy that thing as a birthday gift for An Yu.
It was too weird…
However, just thinking about Huai Xiang actually giving that thing to An Yu made Ning Wanciu’s mouth twitch slightly.
She subconsciously began imagining An Yu’s expression when she saw it.
And what her reaction would be upon learning it was her gift.
Hm…
How to put it—Ning Wanciu found it a bit hard to picture that scene.
She actually felt that An Yu might even genuinely like it.
A somewhat ugly giant plushie paired with a cute loli who always had a cold face somehow felt quite harmonious?
Ning Wanciu shook her head helplessly.
This was typical—she had been influenced by Huai Xiang, starting to have wild thoughts.
Better not think about those random things.
The day after tomorrow was An Yu’s birthday—she hoped An Yu would have fun.
