Chapter 287: Cao Luo

In the deep darkness, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

She first blankly looked at her palm.

After confirming that she was indeed herself, she subconsciously began observing the surroundings.

This place was… the An family, her room.

Not far away it seemed an argument was taking place. She didn’t know what had happened.

An inexplicable curiosity in her heart was driving her to act, so the girl opened the room door.

Pa—

The middle-aged man irritably slapped the black-haired girl across the face.

She could also see the disdain and mockery in the middle-aged man’s eyes, as well as the blankness and confusion in the black-haired girl’s eyes.

The man said something she couldn’t make out, paid no attention to the dazed black-haired girl, and turned to leave.

The man was An Yunfan. The black-haired girl was An Qing…

What was the situation now again?

Oh, right.

An Qing was the female lead of a revenge story.

She was currently being bullied and abused by her relatives.

Then everything happening now was precisely the reason for her future revenge.

The girl was named An Yu, An Qing’s older sister.

Holding some nonsensical true-or-false revenge script, she was a trash villain who did every bad thing and was ultimately reverse-killed by the female lead.

And right now, there was only one thing An Yu should do.

That was to turn around and leave. It was better for the villain not to approach the protagonist.

An Yu wanted to close the door, yet for some reason she delayed taking action.

She stared at the beautiful girl on the sofa who had lowered her head and remained motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.

It had to be said that she was worthy of being the female lead. Even the appearance of her crying in disappointment was very beautiful.

But the girl didn’t understand.

An Qing was clearly the protagonist, so why was she living so painfully?

Or rather… was it precisely because she was the protagonist that she was this miserable?

Why… did she have to suffer so much pain, only to then take revenge for everything afterward?

Even if the revenge succeeded, the wounds An Qing had suffered would not lessen in the slightest.

How many more times did this girl called the female lead still have to endure such things?

Without realizing it, the villain miss who should have turned a blind eye to this—An Yu—silently came to An Qing’s side.

The suffering girl seemed to have heard the sound. She lifted her head. Her beautiful crimson eyes were filled with tears.

Yet hidden within them were also fear and anticipation.

She was afraid of An Yu, because An Yu was extremely favored in this family.

But at the same time, she was also anticipating.

Anticipating that this only peer of the same age would make a choice different from everyone else’s.

In that instant, An Yu felt that rather than a female lead, An Qing was more like an ordinary abused child.

She had come to such a strange environment, unable to understand anything, yet constantly restricted by some inexplicable demands.

It was very normal for such an An Qing to feel blank and suffer.

The girl slightly stepped forward and reached out to slowly wipe away the teardrops at the corners of An Qing’s eyes.

An Qing’s entire body trembled. In that instant her fear seemed to reach its peak.

The girl’s voice was a bit cold, yet mixed with a soft and sticky feeling.

Sensations that should have conflicted instead cleverly fused together, forming a very unique voice.

It was not the first time An Qing had heard An Yu’s voice, but it was the second time she had heard An Yu speaking to her.

She simply subconsciously stared at An Yu without blinking those beautiful red pupils. She was at a loss. She said nothing.

The girl lightly parted her cherry lips and tried her best to use a gentle tone.

“It’s already over.”

An Yu reached out and stroked An Qing’s head.

“Don’t worry. I’m here… as long as I’m here, I’ll protect you.”

She didn’t know how to comfort people. She could only act according to instinct.

She also didn’t know whether An Qing could accept being treated this way.

After all… she was the female lead.

The girl being stroked on the head by An Yu lightly trembled.

The tears that had been in her eyes overflowed, making her look extremely aggrieved.

“Mm…?”

Did… did she mess up?

An Yu expressionlessly blinked.

On the surface she showed no reaction, but inside she felt a bit at a loss.

And just as she didn’t know how to proceed to the next step, An Qing suddenly wrapped her arms around the girl’s waist.

In the next instant, An Qing suddenly began to cry.

“Wuu…”

An Qing’s voice was filled with grievance.

She hadn’t done anything at all, yet she constantly had to suffer such things.

In the entire An family, in the entire school, not a single person cared about her.

Just like… a real older sister. Only An Yu, only An Yu alone, would pay attention to her.

An Yu, who had originally wanted to struggle, also stopped her movements, then gently stroked An Qing’s head.

The female lead was very beautiful, not short in height, and even had rare red pupils.

Perhaps later she would also have some heaven-defying great fortune.

But right now, she was just a pitiful girl.

A girl who would never be acknowledged no matter what she did. A very pitiful young girl.

At the same time, she was her only younger sister.

“It’s fine. I’ll always be here.”

An Yu’s tone was serious. She also wouldn’t lie.

No matter what the mission was, she would never target such a pitiful child.

In the early morning, An Yu, who was still in her dreams, slowly opened her eyes. Her amber eyes emitted light in the darkness, yet they were filled with blankness.

She blinked and with some difficulty lifted her head from the soft chest.

“Mm… it’s An Qing.”

Right. She had been held by An Qing while sleeping last night.

She was holding her so tightly. It wasn’t like she was going to run away, so why use so much force? No wonder she had almost been unable to breathe.

This reborn heroine.

An Yu forcefully took a deep breath.

She wanted to break free but couldn’t escape An Qing’s embrace.

This guy… just what did she want to do.

Starting from yesterday, she had been touching all over the place.

What exactly was there about herself that was worth touching?

But speaking of which, An Qing was also pretty soft?

At least she had slept quite comfortably last night and hadn’t felt any discomfort anywhere.

An Yu wanted to open her mouth to wake An Qing. “An Qing…” yet she suddenly hesitated a bit.

An Qing was sleeping so soundly. Would it be a bit bad to wake her like this?

She always had a feeling of not wanting to wake her, as if… she knew that An Qing’s sleep quality was very poor?

Truly strange.

She clearly didn’t understand An Qing at all.

An Yu expressionlessly blinked and ultimately still gave up struggling.

Let her hold her a while longer. Anyway they wouldn’t be late.

According to An Yu’s biological clock, that was indeed the case.

Because she had to avoid An Qing’s waking time, she had always gone to school early.

Thinking about it now, there really was no need anymore.

After all, she was already being held in An Qing’s arms.

An Yu lowered her head and buried herself back into An Qing’s embrace.

This little house of hers was still quite cold. An Qing’s arms were a bit more comfortable.

But… there was still something strange.

She… seemed to have had a somewhat strange dream.

What was it again? She couldn’t quite remember.
