Chapter 256: Almost Touched

The sounds echoed in the quiet room. The only things that could be heard were the girls’ breathing and the sound of their heartbeats.

Ning Wanciu’s eyes were dazed. Her body moved forward uncontrollably.

Their lips were only a hair’s breadth away from touching.

Neither of them spoke. They simply stared at each other nervously.

If she moved forward just a little more, Ning Wanciu would finally be able to kiss the lips she had wanted for so long.

“An Yu.”

Ning Wanciu called An Yu’s name with deep emotion. An Yu slowly blinked, as if responding to her.

She couldn’t hold back anymore.

She really had no way to endure any longer.

Beneath her was An Yu, who offered no resistance. The person she liked who would never reject her.

Influenced by the atmosphere, Ning Wanciu no longer cared about anything else.

She raised her hand, brushed An Yu’s hair behind her ear, and gently caressed her face.

“Mm..”

An Yu let out a soft whimper and watched as the girl in front of her drew closer and closer.

What was Ning Wanciu trying to do? An Yu’s entire mind had crashed. She could no longer think clearly.

She instinctively closed her eyes. Because of nervousness, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Even so, she showed no intention of rejecting Ning Wanciu.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the option of rejecting Ning Wanciu had never existed in An Yu’s heart.

As An Yu closed her eyes, the ambiguous atmosphere in the room grew even thicker. Ning Wanciu no longer had any reservations, because An Yu had already given her silent permission.

In the next instant, their lips met.

Ring ring——

Cough!!

The sudden sound made Ning Wanciu sit up abruptly. She stared with wide, panicked eyes as the dazed look in them gradually faded.

“Mm?”

An Yu, who was still pinned beneath her, remained somewhat confused. She slowly opened her slightly dazed eyes and looked at Ning Wanciu in puzzlement.

It was as if she was asking… why did you suddenly stop?

Ring ring——

And at that moment, the still-ringing phone sound saved the somewhat flustered Ning Wanciu.

Ning Wanciu reached into her pocket and took out her phone. She awkwardly averted her gaze. She picked up the phone and saw the name “Cheng Shimumeng” on the caller ID. She felt both speechless and somewhat relieved.

I… I’ll take this call first.

…I almost did something wrong just now.

She had only wanted to make An Yu understand the importance of personal boundaries. In the end, it had almost turned into her venting her own desires.

After all, their current relationship was still just that of friends.

Friends shouldn’t kiss.

Even though she thought this, there was still a hint of disappointment in Ning Wanciu’s eyes.

She pretended nothing had happened and answered Cheng Shimumeng’s call.

Hello.. Shimumeng?

Mmhm, it’s me.

Cheng Shimumeng’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Did you.. need something?

Ning Wanciu asked softly, trying her best to maintain her usual tone. However, the other party still picked up on something unusual.

Cheng Shimumeng’s voice carried a trace of confusion.

It seemed because Ning Wanciu’s tone sounded strange. Why did she sound so disappointed?

Could it be…

Cheng Shimumeng’s voice sounded somewhat surprised, but there was also an emotion that couldn’t be described.

Ning Wanciu glanced at An Yu beside her, who still hadn’t fully reacted, and subconsciously swallowed.

And with that moment of silence, Cheng Shimumeng became certain.

So it really happened, huh. Sorry sorry, I didn’t expect you to be so bold. Should I hang up now and pretend nothing happened so you two can continue?

Continue?

Ning Wanciu was very good at catching keywords. As she looked at An Yu, she actually started considering the possibility of continuing.

Yeah! But it only lasted for an instant before she came back to her senses.

What was she even saying? Who wanted to continue! No, nothing happened at all!

Ning Wanciu’s face turned bright red as she shouted into the phone. At the same time, she carefully observed An Yu’s reaction, afraid that the other party would think she was a pervert.

But this was obviously meaningless.

Because An Yu had long since accepted everything about Ning Wanciu.

Hehe, so should I hang up?

Ning Wanciu reflexively shouted again.

No need! Just tell me what you called for, you dummy Shimumeng!

Mm.. looks like you don’t dare to continue after all~

“What?!”

Before Ning Wanciu could explode, Cheng Shimumeng stated the real purpose of her call.

Alright alright, I just wanted to ask if everyone wants to go to the amusement park together this weekend. The kind where we bring your younger sister along too.

She had sent Ning Wanciu a message earlier, but Ning Wanciu hadn’t replied, so she decided to call instead.

But she had never expected that this phone call would interrupt Ning Wanciu’s good time.

No matter what, Cheng Shimumeng still felt a tiny bit apologetic in her heart.

Ning Wanciu, however, had no idea what Cheng Shimumeng was thinking. Seeing that it was something serious, she quickly regained her composure.

Bring Dongli along?

There was a hint of confusion in Ning Wanciu’s voice.

This was the first time Cheng Shimumeng had suggested bringing Ning Dongli to hang out.

Yeah. Your sister can go out now, right? From now on, let’s all move together~

Cheng Shimumeng said it lightly, but only she knew her true intentions.

But…

Ning Wanciu frowned. After coming back this time, Ning Dongli probably wouldn’t want to go out again for at least a month.

Come on, no buts. Just send me Ning Dongli’s contact information.

You make her add me, and I’ll be responsible for getting her to go out. How about that?

Ning Wanciu was stunned. She hadn’t expected Cheng Shimumeng to say that.

Huh?! Fine fine, just hurry up and agree already. Don’t let…

Ning Wanciu suddenly grew anxious and secretly glanced at An Yu again. By now, An Yu’s expression had gradually returned to calm. However, those amber eyes were still staring at her without blinking.

Ning Wanciu subconsciously swallowed. Compared to Cheng Shimumeng’s matter, there were even more difficult things waiting for her.

…Alright. I’ll send it to you.

Mm, see you this weekend then~

After receiving confirmation, Cheng Shimumeng immediately hung up the phone without giving Ning Wanciu any time to hesitate.

Ning Wanciu awkwardly swiped on her phone. Only after confirming that Cheng Shimumeng had truly ended the call did she slowly put her phone away.

At this moment, the originally ambiguous atmosphere had completely disappeared.

Without the influence of emotions, Ning Wanciu had no choice but to face An Yu’s judgment.

“An Yu.. I…..”

Ning Wanciu spoke first, as if she wanted to explain something.

But what could she even say?

Wasn’t what she had just done obvious enough?

“Ning Wanciu, I’m sleepy. Let’s sleep.”

An Yu slightly raised her head and spoke softly with a blank expression. However, the blush on her face still hadn’t completely faded.

“Huh?”

Ning Wanciu blinked in confusion.

“Hurry up.”

For some reason, An Yu seemed a little impatient.

She pulled Ning Wanciu back onto the bed, turned off the lights, quickly pulled up the blanket, and closed her eyes.

In the darkness, the girl gently touched her own lips.

Just now… it felt like I was kissed.
