Chapter 323: Open and Covert Rivalry

No one knew how much time had passed. Dusk was approaching, and everyone had more or less finished playing.

Along the way, Ning Dongli had been both tired and happy.

The feeling of playing together with everyone was truly pleasant in a way she had never experienced before.

Everyone was so gentle.

She could only say that her big sister was really good at socializing.

The friends she made were all truly nice people… and yet she herself had acted like that last time…

Forget it. She didn’t want to think about those things.

From earlier onward, she had been forced to lead everyone around playing the attractions here.

She had to avoid the overly stimulating ones while not missing a single fun thing.

Although this was also her first time leading others around, she had actually done pretty well.

Mm… mainly because the guidance in this amusement park was done well. What to play where was clearly marked.

Then… the last attraction…

Ning Dongli led everyone to a stop and timidly raised her head, looking at the only non-stimulating attraction they hadn’t played yet.

The Ferris wheel…

The one that had to be left for last. This kind of atmosphere… this was the final attraction they would play.

Originally she had wanted to mainly… if the sky hadn’t darkened yet, playing this wouldn’t give that feeling.

Now the timing was just right.

After everyone rode this, they should probably disperse and go home.

Everyone raised their heads to look at the Ferris wheel.

They were thinking the same thing as Ning Dongli.

This was the last one.

“Oh~ This one looks pretty good~” Huai Xiang lifted her eyes to look, then quickly smiled mischievously.

“Aiyah, our Shimeng, you wouldn’t be scared of the Ferris wheel too, would you?”

She raised her arm and nudged Cheng Shimumeng with her elbow.

Cheng Shimumeng twitched the corner of her mouth in anger.

What was there to be scared of with this? There wasn’t any stimulating feeling at all.

Although she was afraid of heights… mm, it should be fine, right?

“Shut up.”

Cheng Shimumeng didn’t think much more about it and unhappily elbowed her back.

The two of them started roughhousing just like that.

The others simply smiled without speaking, watching the Ferris wheel that was about to enter the night together.

It was beautiful… the scenery up there should be beautiful too.

If one could go up and stay there together with the person they liked, that should be wonderful, right?

In almost just an instant, everyone had this thought.

However, there was a problem right now.

It had to be said, the builder of this amusement park really understood everything.

The Ferris wheel here only allowed two people per seat, but there was only one An Yu. So how should they group up?

All the other facilities had such large seats, yet only this place…

An Yu blinked expressionlessly. She had been looking up at the illuminated Ferris wheel for too long, and her eyes felt a little sore.

She lowered her head and reached up to rub her eyes.

The moment she opened them again, she saw that everyone was looking at her.

“Ungh?”

An Yu looked at everyone in confusion, completely not knowing what was wrong with them.

However, even though An Yu was very puzzled, they had no intention of explaining.

They only looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

But everyone’s meaning was already very clear… who would go with An Yu, and how should they group up.

“What’s wrong?”

Looking at the silent crowd, An Yu tilted her head expressionlessly. She still hadn’t noticed what was going on.

A silent war.

Sparks even seemed to fly from the girls’ eyes. This was destined to be a silent war.

“An Yu… do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?”

Ning Dongli poked An Yu’s arm with her finger and then spoke softly.

An Yu nodded. Of course she wanted to ride it. She was actually looking forward to this. What would it feel like to sit up there? Mm.

After all, there was no stimulation and no intense movement, only slow comfort.

This suited her perfectly, didn’t it?

Looking at An Yu’s appearance, Ning Dongli nervously swallowed.

She had actually wanted to sneak ahead, using the fact that she was close, to directly get An Yu to agree to go with her.

As for whether it would make her sister sad… she already trusted Cheng Shimumeng, so she could be a little more unrestrained, right?

Feelings of liking couldn’t be suppressed.

They would only gradually expand with time, especially when you couldn’t obtain them.

“Then… do you want to go with me…”

“Mm-mm-mm? What are you guys talking about?!”

Ning Dongli had only gotten halfway through her words when Huai Xiang came over.

She looked at Ning Dongli and An Yu with a bright smile, looking just like an optimistic idiot.

But… Ning Dongli felt a faint tension.

“Mm? Are you talking about little secrets? How come you stopped the moment I came over… ung~”

The third little one, Huai Xiang, puffed out her cheeks.

As someone whose height was about the same as the two little ones, this action didn’t feel out of place at all.

Ning Dongli blinked, unhappily pressed her lips together, then lowered her head and said softly:

“No… it’s nothing.”

“Is that so~”

Huai Xiang looked as if she hadn’t discovered anything. She nodded, seemingly believing Ning Dongli’s words.

However, she viciously complained in her heart.

Hmph… I already knew Ning-mei is also the type who likes to sneak ahead!

It’s a good thing I followed that bad woman’s line of sight earlier and saw the movements over here, otherwise Ning-mei really would have succeeded in sneaking ahead!

Huai Xiang, who had completely failed to notice that she was being used as a knife by Cheng Shimumeng, was still feeling rather pleased with herself at this moment.

“Let’s go over and line up.”

Just as the several of them were engaged in open and covert rivalry, An Yu softly called out to everyone.

Looking at the completely innocent An Yu, Ning Wanciu shook her head with some helplessness.

The fight over here was almost about to catch fire, yet An Yu couldn’t notice anything at all…

“…Let’s go, let’s go.”

Ning Wanciu could only go along with it and let everyone go line up first.

Although… she actually also wanted to sit up there together with An Yu.

As the friends An Yu acknowledged grew more and more, the time she could spend alone with her recently had become less and less… she had already started missing the past.

Ning Wanciu was a gentle and kind girl, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t feel jealous. On the contrary, she possessed very normal emotions.

Even if she had an almost hypocritical generosity in her heart, after being enlightened by Cheng Shimumeng and recognizing her own inner thoughts, Ning Wanciu had long since accepted her own feelings.

She simply liked An Yu… she simply wanted to stay together with An Yu… this was her demand, an unchangeable demand.

Several beautiful girls with different expressions headed to the Ferris wheel and began lining up.

The length of this line represented the time they would compete.

Before the line ended, they had to compete over who would be in a pair with An Yu.

And at the very end of the several girls, Cheng Shimumeng was smiling as she watched all of this.

She saw Ning Wanciu protectively placing An Yu behind her, and she also saw Ning Dongli sneakily finding An Yu to talk.

There was also Huai Xiang, who wanted to go for a direct approach, jumping up and down.

These things were all very interesting, but no matter how interesting, there still had to be a limit.

Actually, Cheng Shimumeng could help any one of them, and that would easily resolve the dispute.

But… she didn’t want to do that.

There was only one reason. She also wanted to be together with An Yu…

The feeling of being alone with An Yu in a place like this would definitely be very comfortable.

Cheng Shimumeng smiled faintly.

There was nothing wrong with that.

The feeling of being alone with An Yu in a place like this would definitely be very comfortable.

Even Cheng Shimumeng wanted to experience it.
