Chapter 159 (First Release)...
"Wanwan, it's me," the handsome young man with blond hair and purple eyes called out.
In his hand, he was holding a lamp that was about to go out.
In the dim light, if you look closely, you can sense the beauty of admiring a woman under the lamplight.
However, Ning Wanwan, the only one present, lacked that aesthetic sense and leisurely mood.
Ning Wanwan just felt scared.
Late at night, a dark figure is squatting at the door; who wouldn't be scared?
Even pretty boys won't do!
Ning Wanwan subconsciously took a step back.
"Wanwan..."
Ansel watched the growing distance between the two, remained silent for a moment, and then casually stepped forward to fill the gap left by Ning Wanwan's retreat.
Then he called out again, drawing out the last syllable.
For some reason, Ning Wanwan sensed a deep sense of resentment in his voice.
Ning Wanwan was speechless for a moment: "Ansel, what are you doing here?"
"Wanwan, it's dark, it's already evening." Ansel hesitated for a moment, then whispered in her ear.
As the distance closed, he could lean down and touch Ning Wanwan's ear, the warmth of his breath bringing a slight tickle.
Ning Wanwan covered her ears and stepped back a little, even more confused: "So, why aren't you sleeping at night? Why are you here?"
And just squatting there at her doorway was really scary.
Ansel coughed twice, changing the subject: "Because...so...we're just waiting here."
Ning Wanwan didn't understand, and tentatively said, "...Then, you should go back to your room and sleep first."
"No way!" Ansel immediately and firmly refused in a very loud voice.
Ning Wanwan: "So, what exactly is it...?"
"Wanwan, I always thought that you didn't like being too close to others, which is why you never insisted on taking things further."
Ansel couldn't hold back any longer, "But why is he allowed to sleep with you?!"
Ansel, who was usually so unrestrained and flamboyant, raised his hand with a rare look of grievance and pointed directly into Ning Wanwan's room.
Just then, Ning Wanwan's room door opened a little wider.
Xiao Zhou was leaning against the door, her head tilted slightly back. Her voice was as clear and calm as ever, but her silver-gray eyes were slightly hazy and sleepy.
"Ning Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Ning Wanwan: "...Xiao Zhou, why did you come out?"
Xiao Zhou: "When I realized you weren't there and heard a sound, I came out to check."
Ning Wanwan awkwardly forced a smile: "Oh..."
You really don't have to come out.
I was already having a headache, and now this makes the situation even more chaotic.
Ansel's expression was already cursing: "You thing, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Xiao Zhou blinked slowly, looking bewildered, the tuft of hair on her head sticking up from sleeping swaying slightly.
In Ansel's eyes, this was a blatant provocation!
"Don't think that just because Wanwan pities you and lets you sleep with her, it means she cares about you! Stop pretending to be innocent and trying to fool us with your manipulative act!"
At this point, Ansel was seething with hatred, regretting that he had agreed to let Xiaozhou move in. How long had it been? She had already mastered his manipulative tactics perfectly! And now she was showing off in front of him.
No way! What kind of sleep can something that's not even a living thing have?
When Ansel said this, Xiao Zhou was initially unmoved. A little personal attack didn't bother him. In comparison, it was more important for him to behave more obediently in front of Ning Wanwan.
But once she caught the keywords that mattered to her, Xiaozhou could no longer hold back her silence.
“If Ning Wanwan agreed to let me spend one night with her, then even if she doesn’t care about me,” Xiao Zhou said slowly and steadily, “that’s still better than you.”
"Didn't you see? You're disturbing us. Ning Wanwan doesn't want you here at all right now."
Xiao Zhou was silent until he spoke, and when he did speak, his words were sharp, ruthless, and hit the nail on the head. Ning Wanwan never expected that in the blink of an eye, the two of them would be fighting!
"Wait a moment!"
Ning Wanwan didn't want to be shouting things like "Stop fighting!" from the sidelines later, so as soon as she noticed the situation escalating, she couldn't stand by and watch any longer. She quickly stood between the two of them and nipped the problem in the bud.
"Wanwan," "Ning Wanwan." The two, one big and one small, turned to look at her simultaneously, almost in unison, "Are you going to protect him?"
Ning Wanwan: "..."
If it weren't for the fact that, except in extreme cases, she never likes to speak harshly in front of others, she really would have wanted to yell, "Are you all crazy?"
What on earth are they doing so late at night?
Ning Wanwan deeply regretted opening the door ten minutes earlier.
If there were a way to undo mistakes, she would never, ever open that door!
"None of you are allowed to say those nonsensical things anymore..." Ning Wanwan rubbed her forehead and raised her hand, "No, none of you should say anything more!"
"Is this enough?"
The two non-humans, one big and one small, exchanged glances, knowing they had annoyed Ning Wanwan. However, they held each other back, neither wanting to let go first and lose the initiative.
Seeing that the two were no longer moving, Ning Wanwan knew that the fight was not going to break out, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she was too lazy to pull the two apart and simply went back to her room.
A few seconds later, the half-open door was pushed open, and the little boy with snow-white hair and gray eyes walked in. His delicate face seemed to have become colder than usual because he had just had a conflict with an adversary.
But when he saw Ning Wanwan, although his face still didn't show much expression, it visibly softened a bit.
He glanced at Ning Wanwan, then slowly and tentatively moved his small body back onto the bed.
Ning Wanwan didn't say anything, yawned, and shrank deeper into the covers. Suddenly, she remembered something—had she left the room earlier to check if it was day or night?
After being frightened and tormented by Ansel, they forgot their original purpose.
However, at this point, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Ning Wanwan absolutely could not leave the room.
She sat up, got out of bed, walked to the window, and lifted the curtains to look outside.
Although the view outside the window was blurry, it was clear that the sky was dark and snow was falling continuously, each flake as fine as a goose feather; the sheer scale of it was chilling.
Ning Wanwan dared not look any longer. The feeling of being engulfed by the icy snow almost dragged her back to the terrifying situation when she was trapped in the cave.
She quickly drew the curtains.
Just as she slowly exhaled and calmed herself down, wanting to go back to bed, and had just tucked herself into the covers, Xiao Zhou suddenly frowned and called out to her.
"Ning Wanwan".
Ning Wanwan was taken aback: "What's wrong?" Xiao Zhou's voice seemed to be reminding her of something.
But Xiao Zhou didn't need to say anything more, because Ning Wanwan saw that Ansil had appeared at the foot of the bed at some point, and was almost glued to the bed.
"What are you doing here!" Ning Wanwan was completely shocked.
Ansel answered quickly, as if he hadn't thought about it at all and just blurted it out.
"Because Wanwan is here, this place is full of Wanwan's scent."
He took a few soft breaths, then made a strange move—burying his entire face in Ning Wanwan's blanket.
Ning Wanwan: "...Ansel, don't say such strange things."
She couldn't help but sigh, "Don't do anything strange, just go back to your room."
"I don't want to go back, Wanwan—" The boy reluctantly raised his head, his drawn-out tone like it was coated with honey.
His delicate face was slightly flushed, his purple eyes were misty, and his light golden hair was slightly messy, clinging to his fair neck.
A feast for the eyes.
If someone else were here, they would definitely say, "This guy exudes an aura of seduction."
Unfortunately, her flirtatious glances were wasted on a blind man. Ning Wanwan sat upright on the bed, staring at him without any emotion, showing no sign of being seduced whatsoever.
"Go back, don't you need to sleep?" Ning Wanwan advised.
Ansel had no desire to sleep at this moment.
When it comes to sleeping, he only wants to sleep with Ning Wanwan.
Normally everyone is the same and can hold back, but now there is an exception: he actually managed to sleep with Ning Wanwan in the sweet and soft quilt!
In contrast, I felt all the more how cold, hard and unbearable my bed was.
Ansel was very possessive, and as the one who was left behind, he was actually in a pretty bad mood at the moment, and he also had a sense of grievance that "I was here first".
However, he knew that Ning Wanwan didn't like being forceful, so he could only use a more tactful approach to suppress his pent-up negative emotions.
These negative emotions are all directed at his love rival.
In front of Ning Wanwan, he would naturally try his best to restrain himself and avoid doing anything that would make her feel bad.
“Wanwan—” Ansel’s jewel-like purple eyes lowered slightly, and his voice became soft.
"Why can he do it, but I can't?"
Ning Wanwan: "What? He can?"
When Ning Wanwan realized that Ansel was referring to the small boat, she almost choked.
“Anseil, Xiaozhou is still just a child.”
No matter how many secrets Xiao Zhou had, his appearance and personality at least made Ning Wanwan feel that he didn't have such a strong sense of intrusion.
Ansel was completely different; he was the type to seize every opportunity and take advantage of any situation.
Although Ning Wanwan had the deepest feelings for Ansil because of their past shared hardships and mutual reliance, she dared not indulge him too much.
Otherwise, this guy will really push his luck!
“What kind of child is he… ah.” Ansel wanted to retort immediately, but seeing Xiao Zhou sitting quietly and obediently to the side, he realized something and knew he couldn’t let the other party’s scheme succeed.
Then Ansel gave up and decided to continue selling tea art.
“Wanwan, I promise I won’t do what he did, taking up your bed and disturbing your sleep,” Ansel said. “I’ll sleep on the floor next to your bed, so I won’t cause you any trouble, and I won’t need blankets or pillows.”
This sounds incredibly pitiful, yet Ansel takes it seriously.
Anyway, he's not really here to sleep, so why would he need a blanket?
"As long as you're willing to let me stay with you, okay? You've already let Wanwan stay, so one more won't make a difference."
