“Hmm… If I remember correctly, Junior Sister Liang Sheng, your period should be coming up in a few days, right? Make sure to stay warm~ Don’t worry me.” Senior Sister Gu Yuqi’s voice was soft and alluring.
“Ah, yeah! How did you know, Senior Sister Yuqi?” Liang Sheng asked in surprise upon hearing Gu Yuqi’s words.
“Haha… Of course I’d keep track of your period.” Gu Yuqi laughed as she explained.
“Senior Sister Yuqi…”
“When that day comes, just let me know. I’ll come over with some ginger sugar water for you.” Gu Yuqi was the picture of thoughtfulness.
“Okay~ Thanks, Senior Sister Yuqi. But isn’t that too much trouble for you?” Liang Sheng said, deeply touched.
“Why be polite with me? It’s what I should do.” The words dripped with implication, as if reminding Liang Sheng: You’re going to be my girlfriend someday.
“Senior Sister Yuqi, whoever ends up as your girlfriend is going to be so lucky,” Liang Sheng said sincerely.
“Naturally. Do you even have to ask who I am?” Gu Yuqi started tooting her own horn. “So, Little Junior Sister, don’t you want a slice of that luck?”
Of course Liang Sheng wanted it. Just not right now.
She didn’t dare reveal her true feelings, though. She still had a mission to conquer these girls.
“Ahem, Senior Sister Yuqi…” The two were lost in sweet nothings when Liang Sheng continued, “Do you really trust me that much?”
“Of course. My Little Junior Sister would never say something like that.” After everything they’d been through, Gu Yuqi chose to believe in Liang Sheng unconditionally this time.
“Mm! You’re the best, Senior Sister…” Tears welled up in Liang Sheng’s eyes. “Then I’ll send you the original recording…”
“No need.” Gu Yuqi turned her down. “I trust you. That recording from Ni Sihan must be edited. I don’t know what beef you two have, but if she bullies you, tell your senior sister, and I’ll…”
Hehe~ Senior Sister Gu Yuqi was so cool and gentle. Having a girlfriend like her would make anyone blissfully happy!
“Mm-hmm~ I get what you mean, Senior Sister~” Liang Sheng’s mouth stretched into a grin nearly to her ears. “If she bullies me, I’ll tell you, Senior Sister Yuqi, and you can back me up!”
Gu Yuqi grinned right along with her and praised, “Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng is so clever~”
While things were all lovey-dovey on their end, Song An’an—who had just listened to the real recording—silently teared up.
“Ni. Si. Han!” Song An’an gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and glared hatefully at her phone screen. The little crybaby wasn’t holding back anymore!
Ring ring ring~
Ni Sihan’s sixth sense warned her that something bad was coming.
The fool still had no idea just how stupid she’d been.
“Hello, An’an…”
“Ni Sihan! You’ve gone too far!” Song An’an’s furious shout exploded from the phone.
Ni Sihan’s heart sank. Shit. Liang Sheng must have explained everything to her, and this idiot bought it!
“An’an, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly so mad? It was clearly Liang Sheng…” Ni Sihan still tried to spin it, hoping to make the other believe her.
Song An’an’s Adoration Value toward Ni Sihan was now unviewable.
“No more excuses, Ni Sihan! I know exactly what kind of vicious woman you are!” Song An’an cried and cursed at once. “You deliberately tried to drive a wedge between me and A-Sheng! Shameless! Lowlife!”
The timid little crybaby unleashed every dirty word she knew. She trembled as she said them, feeling like a bad girl for it.
“Listen to me, An’an. You’ve got it all wrong!” Ni Sihan was desperate.
“Shut up! No more excuses!” Song An’an cut her off.
“An’an, I really didn’t—”
It was almost like a guy desperately explaining himself while the girl sang, “I don’t wanna hear it, la la la~”
“I know perfectly well. You don’t need to tell me! Anyway, now I see you for the venomous woman you are, always stirring things up between me and A-Sheng. Who knows how much trash you’ve talked about me behind her back!” Despite her wild imagination, Song An’an had nailed it.
“An’an! I’m innocent!” Ni Sihan struggled on, hoping against hope that the other would swallow her lies.
“No more excuses, Ni Sihan. A-Sheng already told me everything you said. She even warned me to stay away from vicious women like you!” The angrier Song An’an got, the more she bawled like the little crybaby she was.
“She’s lying through her teeth! I have proof. What does she have? Just her word, and you believe her over what you heard yourself?!” Ni Sihan shot back angrily, though panic churned inside her.
“You’re the liar! You think you’re the only one who can record things? A-Sheng knew what a vicious woman you were ages ago.” Pride swelled in Song An’an’s voice. “My A-Sheng is way smarter than some sneaky schemer like you!”
This was probably the fiercest argument Song An’an had ever had with anyone. She’d never yelled this loud before.
It left her heart pounding, her whole body shaking.
And Ni Sihan had figured it out.
Could it be…
Beep beep beep beep.
Song An’an hung up.
Moments later, Ni Sihan received the recording—from Song An’an.
She very nearly bit through her thumbnail.
Meanwhile, Liang Sheng—who was happily chatting with Gu Yuqi—got a call from Ni Sihan.
“Hm? Senior Sister Gu Yuqi, it’s Ni Sihan calling.” Liang Sheng moved to hang up. “Hold on. Let’s see what she wants.”
“Hello?”
“Hello! Liang—!”
Liang Sheng cut her off, striking first. “Fun slandering me, huh, Ni Sihan?”
“I… You…!” Ni Sihan was in the wrong here and had no comeback.
Akino Hoshiko, who hadn’t appeared in a while, snickered in the shadows at her host’s foolishness.
“Heh~ She’s already in the wrong and still charges straight into the line of fire. What an idiot.” Strangely, though, as Ni Sihan’s system, she didn’t try to stop her host’s suicidal blunder.
“You’ve got some nerve calling me?” Liang Sheng pressed without mercy. “I’m not yelling at you already, and you come babbling to me? You must want an earful.”
The Favorability System—Akino Kazuko—couldn’t help but sigh beside her. “Ah~ I could watch women catfight like this forever~”
“Heh, you’re one of those who loves drama and stirs the pot~” Liang Sheng took a jab at her own system, too.
