Chapter 329: It’s Ending, But Not Quite Over Yet

“Sigh, the Ferris wheel is almost over too~”

Below, Cheng Shimumeng lifted her head and stared blankly at the Ferris wheel in silence.

At this moment, she had casually found a place to sit down, not particularly caring about her appearance.

Her figure looked extremely thin, carrying a very lonely feeling about her.

But there was no helping it, right?

Because there were five people on the date, pairing up two by two would always leave one out.

Cheng Shimumeng knew that no one would be willing to be the odd one out.

First was An Yu… if An Yu were left alone, putting aside the fact that no one would feel at ease leaving her by herself down below.

They had all wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with An Yu in the first place…

Then there was Ning Dongli. This little Ning sister’s reasons were about the same as An Yu’s.

This guy was like a soft, cute, and pitiful little beast—leaving her alone would be too pitiful.

Next was Ning Wanciu…

This one clearly had a lot of things she wanted to say to Ning Dongli but hadn’t spoken out loud yet, so she couldn’t be left alone either.

Of course, Huai Xiang didn’t mind.

She had already been left alone plenty of times, so one more time was no big deal~

Hehe…

Cheng Shimumeng smiled faintly, but in the end, hadn’t she still ended up going with An Yu?

“Letting a dummy pick up a bargain~”

She squinted her eyes slightly. Although she was complaining, there wasn’t the slightest hint of unhappiness on her face.

As for whether there had been any human manipulation in the drawing of lots, no one knew.

But… waiting alone down below really was a bit cold after all~

Cheng Shimumeng wrapped her somewhat thin outer clothes tighter around herself, remaining all alone in the night.

There had been times like this in the past too…

A rare trace of confusion appeared in the girl’s emerald-green eyes.

But she quickly recovered.

This wouldn’t do.

She was Cheng Shimumeng, the super beautiful girl who could easily grasp everything, right?

After hyping herself up in her heart, Cheng Shimumeng let out a somewhat helpless laugh.

Sure enough, she had been in contact with dummies too much and had become a bit silly herself.

The girl stared at the Ferris wheel that was about to stop, both hands clasped behind her back.

Precisely because she had experienced loneliness and helplessness, she could not let everyone experience that feeling again.

So… her plan was definitely going to succeed.

Besides success, there were no other options.

Of course… she was actually still very confident.

Or rather, she actually had a great deal of faith in An Yu’s charm.

Cheng Shimumeng pressed both hands to her lips, her gaze a bit unfocused.

Paradise… would definitely become reality.

The Ferris wheel stopped on time.

An Yu pulled Huai Xiang out from inside.

Looking at Huai Xiang’s glowing red face, Cheng Shimumeng understood.

During this period of time, this red-haired dummy must have had a great time.

Perhaps An Yu had even given her some little rewards, or maybe some kind of promise.

Aiyah, congratulations to this dummy~

Cheng Shimumeng smiled faintly, then waved toward the two of them.

When they saw Cheng Shimumeng, their eyes clearly lit up, and both of them headed in this direction.

“Shimumeng~”

Seemingly in a very good mood, Huai Xiang didn’t even call her “bad woman” this time, her whole face written with secret delight.

Cheng Shimumeng squinted her eyes, one finger pressed to her lips.

Let her think… this must mean An Yu had agreed to go play at her house, right?

Probably something like today?

Just from the expression alone, she could roughly guess the matter.

This was very simple for Cheng Shimumeng.

Or rather, Huai Xiang was just that easy to read.

“Hehe~ How was it, did you have fun… hmm?”

Cheng Shimumeng was about to tease them as usual, but she hadn’t expected that the moment An Yu arrived, she would take her hand.

“An Yu…?”

She froze for a moment, looking at An Yu a bit at a loss.

What was going on?

Why had she come straight for her the moment she got down, and even suddenly held her hand?

Had something she couldn’t imagine happened up there?

Cheng Shimumeng blinked.

From Huai Xiang’s expression, she truly couldn’t tell anything at all.

But… she couldn’t make anything out from An Yu’s expression either.

“Come.”

She only said one word, yet it carried a sense of absolute certainty.

An Yu lifted her eyes slightly, her amber eyes shining with light.

Cheng Shimumeng was a bit surprised—surprised enough that she didn’t even resist.

Just like that, right in front of Huai Xiang, she was pulled away without any pause by the tiny An Yu.

“Eh?” “Eh?”

“Wait, where are we going?”

Cheng Shimumeng subconsciously asked, but all she received was An Yu’s silence.

“…An Yu?”

For some reason, Cheng Shimumeng suddenly felt a bit panicked at this moment.

Up until just now, she had been completely at ease.

No matter which girl it was, what they were thinking inside, or what kind of help they needed, Cheng Shimumeng knew it all clearly.

But only An Yu… only An Yu was different.

She had no expression, and no particular logic to her actions, as if everything she did was purely as she pleased.

Even Cheng Shimumeng couldn’t do that.

But An Yu could just be like this…

Seeing An Yu remain silent, Cheng Shimumeng could only slowly follow by her side.

Although she didn’t know what An Yu wanted to do, it wasn’t like she would harm her, so what was the harm in following?

Cheng Shimumeng rallied herself, taking a deep breath at the same time to adjust her mindset.

But sure enough… she still couldn’t figure it out.

Both groups of people were in a hurry, and no one stopped.

And right then, they brushed past a pair of golden-haired sisters.

It seemed only Cheng Shimumeng noticed this.

By the time she wanted to remind them, it was already too late.

“Um… Little An Yu? Ning Wanciu just passed by, you know?”

But An Yu still said nothing.

Only when Cheng Shimumeng realized that this path was the one leading to the Ferris wheel did she lower her head a bit blankly.

“No way?” She looked at the girl’s back in front of her and subconsciously swallowed.

It shouldn’t be, right?

And just as Cheng Shimumeng was thinking this, An Yu suddenly stopped walking.

“There’s time. Get on.”

An Yu tugged on Cheng Shimumeng’s hand, staring expressionlessly into her eyes.

“…An Yu?”

“It’s our turn.”

But the only response Cheng Shimumeng received was this one sentence.

She stared tightly at An Yu’s amber eyes, seemingly wanting to make something out of them, but in the end she discovered nothing at all.

Pfft.

Unable to hold it in, Cheng Shimumeng suddenly laughed out loud.

“Alright, let’s go ride the Ferris wheel, Little An Yu~”

As if she had finally reacted, Cheng Shimumeng tightly held An Yu’s hand, then stepped onto it together with her.

Sigh… this really was something.

By the time Huai Xiang reacted, the two of them had already walked farther and farther away.

She scratched her head with a look of surprise, seemingly not understanding what had just happened.

“Huh?”

“Xiangxiang, why are you the only one here? Where are An Yu and Shimumeng?”

The Ning sisters had just returned when they saw no one beside Huai Xiang.

Huai Xiang raised a hand and pointed toward the Ferris wheel.

“They… went up the Ferris wheel?”
