Chapter 259: Change

Early morning at the Ning residence.

Ning Dongli walked out of her room in a daze. Her golden short hair was somewhat messy, and her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just been crying.

Ning Dongli slowly made her way to the bathroom to take care of her physiological needs.

With the sound of running water, the embarrassment on the girl’s face was replaced by comfort, but it soon turned back into confusion.

Yesterday, many, many unexpected things had truly happened.

But what Ning Dongli found most difficult to process was the message sent by that girl named Cheng Shimumeng before she went to sleep.

Even now, she still felt a bit dizzy, as if her mind wasn’t clear.

Last night, Ning Dongli had already prepared herself to play the role of a fake villain. She would become a superficial obstacle in their relationship while actually being a stepping stone, helping her older sister and An Yu become a couple before quietly exiting the stage.

But the message Cheng Shimumeng sent was like a knife that cut straight into the girl’s heart.

She had never expected that someone could see through her feelings so easily.

Ning Dongli wiped herself clean, stood up, washed her hands, and left the bathroom.

In the end, what had it turned into?

The expression on her face was still somewhat blank.

Ah, right… She had promised Cheng Shimumeng that she would go out to the amusement park together.

And Cheng Shimumeng had promised her.. that she would help her.

But how exactly was she supposed to help?

Ning Dongli blinked. Her face was full of confusion.

She was clearly her older sister’s friend. After knowing everything, instead of choosing to help her sister, she wanted to help her instead?

Moreover, Cheng Shimumeng even said something about making both her sister and An Yu agree, and that the two sisters wouldn’t become rivals. Everyone would be happy and so on!

Huh?

What did that mean?

Her brain couldn’t quite keep up. When she saw that message, Ning Dongli had completely crashed on the spot.

Her and An Yu being together, while An Yu and Ning Wanciu both agreed… Did that mean her older sister and An Yu would all be together with An Yu?!

Everyone happy… Did that mean letting both her and her sister be with An Yu?!

What was that supposed to mean? Could Cheng Shimumeng really pull something like that off?

That was impossible….

No matter what, Ning Dongli’s heart, which had already started to die, began beating again.

And the more she thought about it, the more it sounded like Cheng Shimumeng actually had a way.

Although it sounded somewhat ridiculous, this seemed to be the only possible method.

If it was possible not to give up, then of course Ning Dongli didn’t want to give up either.

Being together with the person she liked was truly a very, very happy thing. Ning Dongli had never experienced this feeling before.

And now, after experiencing it once, Ning Dongli could no longer forget it.

If Cheng Shimumeng could really make it so that no one got hurt, then she also wanted to be with An Yu!

Although she felt that Cheng Shimumeng’s words weren’t very reliable, Ning Dongli was indeed looking forward to it a little…

Because this was the only hope she could see right now.

That was why, when she saw Cheng Shimumeng inviting her to go out and play, she had absentmindedly agreed.

She had clearly said just yesterday that she didn’t want to go out for a month.

But the moment she saw that she could still be with An Yu, she instantly agreed?

Ning Dongli, you dummy. You really are greedy.

The girl pressed her lips together. Her eyes were filled with a lonely look.

Click.

Just as Ning Dongli was spacing out, the door to the other room suddenly opened. A tall and a short beautiful girl walked out from inside.

What was worth mentioning was that Ning Dongli did not see the scene she had imagined.

Of course, don’t misunderstand. What Ning Dongli had imagined wasn’t anything particularly strange.

She had simply thought that, based on previous patterns, An Yu would be taking advantage of Ning Wanciu’s care to act spoiled and sleepy, making Ning Wanciu help her with changing clothes, washing up, and everything else.

But right now, how should she put it about An Yu?

Although she still didn’t have much of an expression, something felt off. It was as if there was a subtle sense of distance between her and her older sister?

Although it was possible that it was just Ning Dongli’s imagination, she really did feel that something was strange.

Maybe she was just feeling weird because she didn’t see them sticking together.

After all, on normal days, those two wished they could be glued together twenty-four hours a day….

In any case, she shouldn’t think too much about it.

“Morning.”

Ning Dongli gently parted her cherry lips. She had just wanted to greet them when she was directly interrupted.

An Yu suddenly jogged over to her and grabbed her hand, making her instantly forget what she had originally wanted to say.

An Yu blinked expressionlessly. She still looked the same as usual.

If one ignored this sudden action, that is.

Ning Dongli blankly looked at the hand that was being held. Her face turned slightly red.

Ah.. mm, good morning, An Yu.

So.. what was this situation?

She glanced at Ning Wanciu, who was standing foolishly behind them. The other party had a helpless expression on her face, but she didn’t say anything. She simply shook her head.

Ning Dongli became even more confused.

What exactly had happened last night?

Had her older sister, Ning Wanciu, done something very excessive?

After all, up until now, An Yu and Ning Wanciu hadn’t even exchanged a single glance.

That was already strange enough. So why did An Yu immediately run over to her side from Ning Wanciu’s?!

An Yu spoke calmly. Her voice was the same as always, cold yet carrying a hint of softness.

“Have you washed up yet, Ning Dongli?”

This was the voice Ning Dongli liked the most. However, she was no longer as easily flustered as she had been in the beginning just from hearing it.

Ah.. not yet.

Ning Dongli shook her head. She had only gone to the toilet just now. She had originally planned to go back and sleep a little longer, but she hadn’t expected An Yu and her older sister to come out already.

After speaking, An Yu ignored the still-dazed Ning Dongli and directly pulled her back toward the bathroom.

Huh huh huh?

Since when did washing up become a group activity?

Why hadn’t this kind of good thing happened before…?

Before going in, Ning Dongli glanced at Ning Wanciu again. The other party was still standing in the same spot without moving and showed no intention of stopping them.

So what on earth had happened?!

This was Ning Dongli’s final thought before she was dragged away by An Yu.

Pa.

The bathroom door was closed. The figures of the two smaller girls disappeared from view.

What had happened?

Ning Wanciu actually wasn’t very clear about it either.

But she knew that her relationship with An Yu had undergone a somewhat subtle change.

As for the two smaller girls inside the bathroom….

An Yu had hurriedly pulled Ning Dongli into the bathroom, as if she was in a rush to wash up.

But what was there to be in such a hurry about? Today was a rest day. There was no need to go to school.

“An Yu?”

However, everything changed the moment Ning Dongli saw An Yu’s expression. She subconsciously spoke, her eyes filled with confusion.

She saw An Yu helplessly covering her chest. Her expression still didn’t show much change.

However, a faint blush had quietly appeared on her cute little face.

It turned into a silent breath.
