Chapter 324: The Best Ending

However… rather than fighting back and forth, it was better to leave it to luck.

“Everyone~ I see that each seat on the Ferris wheel can only hold two people, so… let’s draw lots to group up~”

Cheng Shimumeng, who was standing at the back, spoke softly and proposed this before the place where everyone was lining up.

An Yu, who was standing at the very front, silently turned her head to look.

Draw lots? Why suddenly draw lots?

She actually didn’t quite understand.

After all, even until now, she still didn’t know that everyone had already been racking their brains in order to fight for the seat next to her.

And in this instant, the dispute was stopped by Cheng Shimumeng.

After all, once it had been laid out in the open, there was no more meaning in continuing to fight.

“Draw lots… that’s fine too…”

Ning Wanciu looked at the smiling Cheng Shimumeng and sighed with some helplessness.

Today really was tiring after all… if only Cheng Shimumeng could always be like this and not cause trouble.

As someone who existed almost like a guardian, Ning Wanciu truly experienced a wave of the feeling of taking care of children.

Especially these children… all of them were revolving around An Yu.

Ning Wanciu didn’t even know what to say anymore. Especially… there were simply too many children who didn’t listen.

Seeing that Ning Wanciu agreed, Cheng Shimumeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she somehow produced five slips of paper from somewhere.

However, this was rather inconvenient. There were five of them, so one would have to be singled out alone.

Fortunately, from the situation on site, this place was still quite humane.

Although the seats were small, a single person could still go up alone.

After all… there probably wouldn’t be anyone who wanted to sit one-on-one with a stranger in a place like this.

But this also led to the long line here…

“Draw lots? No, where did you even get this stuff??”

Huai Xiang was completely stunned. She never would have thought that Cheng Shimumeng could even prepare something like this.

This was way too exaggerated. What was this supposed to be? Preparing for a rainy day?!

“Heh… don’t worry about those useless things. Either draw lots, or stay behind alone.”

“What?!”

Huai Xiang’s eyes widened. From Cheng Shimumeng’s smiling face, she saw nothing but ill intentions.

“Drawing lots… fine!” Huai Xiang puffed up her cheeks and planted her hands on her hips. “You have to show us first whether your lots have been faked or not!”

This person was smiling far too scarily. Huai Xiang was afraid that she wanted to deliberately trap her.

However, what Huai Xiang hadn’t expected was that Cheng Shimumeng chuckled softly and very decisively showed the lots to everyone.

They were numbered lots: two 1s, two 2s, and one 3.

It was very simple. Those who drew the same number would be in a group, and the single one would sit alone…

Then Cheng Shimumeng shuffled the order just like that and placed them in front of everyone.

“Alright, time to draw lots~”

She curved her lips, her smile still as confident as ever, as if the result was still something she could control.

“Little An Yu, you go first~”

An Yu didn’t hesitate and walked forward to casually draw one.

She lowered her head and looked at the lot in her hand. “Ungh… it’s the number 2 lot.”

It wasn’t the single one. The single one was number 3.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if An Yu had drawn the single lot, then they would all be done for.

Fighting for so long only to end up with nothing… they really didn’t want that!

Cheng Shimumeng walked while arranging the lots. This time she didn’t specify who should come, looking very fair.

“I’ll go!”

Huai Xiang’s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint tension in her gaze.

If this Cheng Shimumeng wanted to scheme against her, there was nothing she could do about it. That would truly be enough to make one cry without tears.

So it was better to draw early and get it over with, lest she be left until the end and get handed a 3.

“Okay~”

Facing the extremely nervous Huai Xiang, Cheng Shimumeng didn’t refuse and instead handed the lots over for her to draw.

Huai Xiang then came in front of Cheng Shimumeng and carefully examined these lots, as if wanting to see if there was any difference somewhere.

“Hah… an idiot can’t see anything, so can you hurry up and draw?”

“You wait… no, who are you calling an idiot?”

Huai Xiang huffed and raised her head to look at Cheng Shimumeng, only to see that the other’s emerald-green eyes were filled with helplessness.

“Hmph… if I have to draw, then I’ll draw!”

Huai Xiang lowered her head, tightly closed her eyes, and fiercely drew one.

Angel-sama, please protect me… I want to be together with little An Yu!

Huai Xiang’s eyelashes trembled lightly. After holding the lot in front of her eyes for a long time, she slowly opened them.

Her purple pupils contracted slightly, then her eyes widened, and then her entire face filled with delight.

“Yi—yes! I got it!”

She suddenly jumped high, raising the lot with the number 2 written on it high above her head, smiling like a happy child.

“Heh… once you’re done drawing, hurry up and move aside. Don’t block the way~”

However, facing Huai Xiang who had drawn the grand prize, Cheng Shimumeng only smiled and shook her head, signaling the Ning sisters to come draw lots.

“Oh my? Are you envious~”

“Hmph hmph, forget it. I’m happy, so I’m not going to pay attention to you~”

Huai Xiang smiled brightly, but in the end she didn’t mock Cheng Shimumeng. Instead, she took her lot and went to find her teammate.

“Little An Yu~ We’re together, okay~”

“Mm.”

An Yu nodded lightly, but those amber eyes of hers were fixed tightly on Cheng Shimumeng, not knowing what she was thinking.

Soon… the drawing of lots was finished.

The result of the draw was that Huai Xiang and An Yu were in the same group, the Ning sisters were in the same group, and Cheng Shimumeng was alone in her own group.

Facing a result like this, Cheng Shimumeng said nothing and only smiled helplessly.

“Aiyah, the luck isn’t very good, is it?”

However, from that pretty face of hers, one couldn’t see any surprise at all.

Cheng Shimumeng curved the corners of her lips, though one could still see a slight sense of loss. “It really benefited that red-haired idiot~” It looked a bit mocking.

“I’m not an idiot at all! Mmmph, you’re still calling me an idiot! Where am I an idiot, me!”

Huai Xiang looked at Cheng Shimumeng with puffed-up cheeks.

Just earlier she had still felt that going alone was rather pitiful, but now she didn’t want to pity this bad woman at all!

This person—every time she worried about her, it was pure excess!

The staff up ahead were already calling them to go up. Huai Xiang huffed and took An Yu’s small hand, then walked onto the Ferris wheel right in front of everyone.

“Little An Yu, let’s go, it’s our turn!”

Inside the Ferris wheel, she pressed against the window and stuck her tongue out huffily toward Cheng Shimumeng who was still outside.

“Heh…”

Cheng Shimumeng smiled with some helplessness.

This idiot… was truly interesting.

“Shimeng…”

Ning Wanciu still wanted to say something, but Cheng Shimumeng pushed them forward.

“The next one is starting.”

Cheng Shimumeng reminded them softly.

These two sisters should also have a lot they wanted to say. Taking advantage of this opportunity now, they should speak freely, shouldn’t they?

Ning Wanciu entered the Ferris wheel a bit at a loss.

She looked back, only to see that Cheng Shimumeng wasn’t continuing to line up, and had instead given up her spot.

As for riding the Ferris wheel herself… she walked through the gradually darkening amusement park and gently shook her head. Just spare me~

The result should be the best…
