Chapter 231: What Should I Do!

“Gulp.”

Looking at An Yu beside her, Ning Dongli did not know how she should react.

Her pretty face flushed slightly.

Her eyes darted around before finally settling on the ice cream in the other girl’s hand.

And as luck would have it, An Yu noticed right away.

She brought the ice cream to Ning Dongli’s lips again and asked softly, “Want some?”

An Yu looked dazed, her beautiful eyes enhanced by the purple colored contacts.

“Gulp…”

Staring at the ice cream in An Yu’s hand, Ning Dongli swallowed unconsciously.

There, right on it, was the mark where An Yu had bitten.

If Ning Dongli wanted… an indirect kiss was right there for the taking.

“Ning Dongli?”

Seeing that Ning Dongli had not responded for a while, An Yu called her name with a hint of confusion.

“I…” Ning Dongli spoke instinctively, but her voice wavered. “Never mind… it’s fine.”

An Yu blinked expressionlessly, then took another casual bite of the ice cream without a care.

“Really? It’s pretty good. Is it not your favorite flavor? Then next time we’ll get a different one.”

Ning Dongli secretly stared at An Yu’s profile, her heartbeat speeding up nonstop.

She always felt… that An Yu had zero wariness toward her, not even the slightest guard.

Was it because An Yu trusted her?

Ning Dongli pressed her lips together and glanced once more at the ice cream in An Yu’s hand.

The ice cream actually tasted really good and suited her preferences perfectly, except…

Eating it would make her guilt explode.

Because An Yu was completely unaware of anything…

So what exactly was she supposed to do?

Ning Dongli lowered her head and stared at her own fingers. She no longer knew what she should do.

She wanted to bring An Yu and Ning Wanciu together.

She wanted to help the two most important people in her life.

But… sometimes An Yu was really sharp.

If she did anything strange or showed even a slightly odd emotion, it would instantly be exposed in An Yu’s sight.

There was almost nothing Ning Dongli could hide from An Yu.

Watching An Yu eat the ice cream in small, careful bites beside her, Ning Dongli could not help but smile.

But… An Yu was also really dense.

She probably had no idea that both she and her sister’s feelings for her had already gone far beyond friendship…

So what exactly was she supposed to do?

Ning Dongli’s eyes were filled with confusion.

This was the first time she had ever felt this way.

The girl’s silence did not last long.

“Excuse me, can we take a photo together?!”

An Yu lifted her head coldly, looked at the unfamiliar girl in front of her whose face was full of expectation, and nodded calmly.

“Mm.”

The convention hall was crowded.

The earlier incident with Ning Dongli had not caused much of a stir.

Perhaps because both Ning Dongli and An Yu were so good-looking, people kept coming over to ask for photos.

This kind of thing had already happened many times.

Only… Ning Dongli was starting to feel a little annoyed.

She stayed pressed tightly against An Yu’s side, with no intention of dealing with anyone who approached.

She left everything to An Yu to handle.

Although she was still nervous inside, right now the only person she could rely on was An Yu.

After An Yu finished dealing with it, she turned back to look at Ning Dongli.

“How are you feeling? Better now?”

An Yu blinked calmly and looked seriously at the girl beside her.

Ning Dongli felt An Yu’s body heat and her mood calmed down quite a bit.

But…

It still was not quite working.

Because it was not just the crowd—An Yu herself was also a problem.

If she relied on An Yu too much, she did not know what kind of issue it would turn into later.

“Mm… I-I need to go to the bathroom… and be alone for a bit.”

Ning Dongli desperately needed a small private space to calm down and recover some HP.

“You don’t want me to come with you?”

An Yu tilted her head and looked at Ning Dongli with slight confusion.

“Mm.”

She nodded to confirm.

If An Yu came along, then it would not count as being alone, right?

“Got it. I’ll wait for you right here.”

An Yu stared at her seriously for a long moment before finally nodding in agreement.

“Mm-hm, don’t worry, I’ll be fine! I’ll be back soon!”

Ning Dongli smiled and nodded, then immediately stood up, planning to head to a bathroom stall by herself and stay there for a little while.

But the moment she got up, she felt an uncomfortable sensation.

It was as if she had lost something important.

Because she had been pressed tightly against An Yu just now.

This was bad…

She seemed to have gotten used to it. Being a little farther from An Yu made her feel…

Ning Dongli shook her head hard, forcing those bad thoughts out of her mind.

No no, she could not think about it.

An Yu and her sister… anyway, she could not think about it.

“Gulp…”

Just calm down and it would be fine. That was definitely it! Come on, Ning Dongli, you can do it by yourself.

Thinking this, Ning Dongli took her first step forward—then she saw the sea of people.

To reach the bathroom she would have to push through layer after layer of the crowd.

“Ah…”

Oh no, this was not going to work.

There were way too many people. Just looking at them made Ning Dongli’s head spin a little.

“Ning Dongli?”

Seeing her standing still, An Yu spoke softly, her voice carrying a trace of confusion.

Ning Dongli’s body stiffened. In the end she turned around awkwardly.

An Yu saw that her pretty face was covered in a deep blush.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, her lashes trembling slightly.

“Um… An Yu.”

“Mm?”

An Yu tilted her head, waiting for the rest.

“Sorry… actually… could you walk with me?”

She spoke haltingly, her colored-contact eyes filled with shyness.

She had just boasted confidently, yet she had not even taken a single step before backing down.

And right in front of An Yu, too.

She really was… beyond saving.

Yet even while feeling ashamed, for some reason her heart also carried a faint trace of anticipation.

She… still wanted to be with An Yu more than anything.

“Okay.”

An Yu blinked and agreed without hesitation.

She stood up from the bench, took Ning Dongli’s hand, and set off toward the bathroom.

She asked for no reason, only pure thoughtfulness.

An Yu had always taken good care of Ning Dongli.

“Let’s go.”

Looking at the girl who stood in front of her without hesitation, Ning Dongli pressed her lips together.

“Mm…”

An Yu…

She always gave her the wonderful feeling that as long as she wished for something, it would come true.

But it was exactly because of that that she kept falling deeper and deeper.

Yet this girl who could fulfill all her wishes had never belonged to her.

Feeling the warmth in her hand, the confusion in Ning Dongli’s heart grew even stronger.

Every time An Yu chose to help her, she would feel this way—first happy, then lost again.

The girl who had never wanted to overthink had now become more and more sentimental.

She… what exactly was she supposed to do?
