The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 13
“Is big sister alright?” Qu Anruo looked anxiously at Gu Jingyun’s hand.
Gu Jingyun shook her head, comforting Qu Anruo, and said, “I’m fine.”
As a result, Qu Anruo’s tears, which had just stopped, started flowing again: “I’m sorry.” She was so willful just now and even hurt Gu Jingyun. Gu Jingyun would definitely dislike her.
Gu Jingyun looked at Qu Anruo, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged her, patting her back gently: “It’s alright, it’s alright.”
The two were very close, and Qu Anruo could even hear Gu Jingyun’s regular heartbeat. “That’s enough,” Qu Anruo said awkwardly in Gu Jingyun’s arms. After speaking, she lightly pushed Gu Jingyun away and shyly turned her flushed face to the side.
Looking at Qu Anruo’s tear streaked face, Gu Jingyun covered her mouth and chuckled. “Then Anruo, wash your face and come out to eat.” She finished speaking and considerately closed the door for Qu Anruo.
After Gu Jingyun left, Qu Anruo walked to the mirror, and seeing her tear stained face, she felt disgusted with herself. She pursed her lips and bent down, splashing handfuls of water onto her face.
Only when the circles around her eyes in the mirror were not too red did Qu Anruo stop her movements and step out of the restroom.
Seeing Qu Anruo come out, Gu Jingyun set out her bowl and chopsticks and said, “Come over and eat.”
Qu Anruo sat stiffly at the dining table. That was too embarrassing just now. Crying like that in front of Gu Jingyun, she couldn’t even face her!
Gu Jingyun saw Qu Anruo sitting rigidly, tapped the table with her finger, and asked, “Anruo, why aren’t you eating?”
Pulled back to reality by Gu Jingyun’s voice, Qu Anruo quickly lowered her head and started eating. Sob, sob, sob, she had no face to see anyone. Her reputation, Qu Anruo’s lifetime of good name, was ruined today!
After dinner, Gu Jingyun didn’t ask why Qu Anruo cried, and Qu Anruo also pretended that nothing had happened and didn’t mention it again.
When the time was right, Qu Anruo quickly found an excuse to leave and went to Fang Yumeng to cry and complain.
“Mengmeng, I’m so miserable.” Qu Anruo threw herself onto Fang Yumeng, tears and snot flowing.
Seeing Qu Anruo’s snot almost rubbing onto her, Fang Yumeng pushed Qu Anruo away in disgust: “Hey, hey, hey, get away from me first.”
Qu Anruo got up and sat to the side, taking the tissue handed to her by Fang Yumeng to wipe herself.
“How did I not know you cried so much before?” Fang Yumeng looked curiously at Qu Anruo. She hadn’t seen Qu Anruo cry many times since they were kids. Crying like this all of a sudden, could it be that she confessed to Gu Jingyun and was rejected?
Fang Yumeng patted Qu Anruo’s shoulder sympathetically, just about to comfort her…
“I don’t know why I kept crying today either,” Qu Anruo said and continued to bury her head and cry.
Fang Yumeng put down the hand she was going to use to comfort Qu Anruo. Qu Anruo must be too idle, Fang Yumeng thought. Fang Yumeng pulled Qu Anruo and took her to the mall.
“What are we doing?” Qu Anruo said listlessly.
Fang Yumeng walked in front, carrying her bag, took out a card, and said, “Come with your big sister to shop.” After speaking, she walked ahead in her high heels. Qu Anruo followed behind her like a little slave, trotting along.
“This one, and this one, pack them all up.” Fang Yumeng said to the shop assistant after swiping her card. The assistant happily helped Fang Yumeng pack the items, and Qu Anruo struggled behind, helping Fang Yumeng carry the bags, exhausted.
Only when Qu Anruo couldn’t carry any more did Fang Yumeng stop. She took off her sunglasses and winked at Qu Anruo: “Do you still want to cry now?”
Seeing that Fang Yumeng finally planned to let her off the hook, Qu Anruo quickly shook her head and said, “No, no, I don’t.”
“See, you’re just too idle.” Fang Yumeng said and put her sunglasses back on, unaware of how alluring her actions looked to outsiders. How much an A-level Omega was desired by others to be taken into their possession. A group of people looked at Fang Yumeng with predatory eyes.
Qu Anruo was reminded by 666 that people were watching them. She turned her head and indeed saw a few well-dressed individuals looking at Fang Yumeng and her direction with ill intent.
Truly wolves in sheep’s clothing, Qu Anruo cursed in her heart. She slightly shifted her body to block their view of Fang Yumeng. After being blocked, they glared at Qu Anruo, but since they didn’t dare cause trouble here, they left.
After Qu Anruo left the mall, she looked at the bustling streets. In this world, if an Omega did not have power and status, especially if their rank was very high, life would probably be difficult. Because Fang Yumeng had the protection of a huge family, she was very naive in how she treated everyone, and Qu Anruo couldn’t help but worry about her. Whether as the original host or as herself, she probably wanted Fang Yumeng to have a good outcome.
However, in the original plot, Fang Yumeng’s family was ruined because she helped the original host, and Fang Yumeng was forced to marry into another family. She spent her life with a woman she had no feelings for, and eventually died of old age. She wanted to change everyone’s ending. Through the time she had spent with them, she realized that these people were real, flesh-and-blood individuals. She couldn’t let their endings be unhappy like in the original plot, where they were implicated by the original host.
In the system space, 666 listened to Qu Anruo’s great aspirations and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: [Host has truly grown up.] It wiped its non-existent tears like an old father.
Sitting in the car, Fang Yumeng saw Qu Anruo’s serious expression and asked worriedly, “Ruoruo, what’s wrong?”
“Yumeng, I will definitely protect you in the future.” Qu Anruo’s words greatly surprised Fang Yumeng. “You truly are my best friend,” she said, smiling and hugging Qu Anruo.
The next day, Qu Anruo paced outside Gu Jingyun’s house, hesitating whether to go in, when Gu Jingyun opened the door. Qu Anruo was startled and pounced onto Gu Jingyun.
“Is Anruo saying good morning to me?” Gu Jingyun hugged Qu Anruo and said with a smile.
Qu Anruo’s face blushed from the teasing, and she got down from Gu Jingyun, pulling down her wrinkled clothes.
“I have already contacted the moving company. We will pick up Jinyi later and let her come back to pack her things first,” Qu Anruo said, then sent a message to the moving company to have them come over.
The two went together to Gu Jinyi’s school to wait for her to finish class. There were already quite a few cars outside waiting for their children to finish school. Qu Anruo looked at her watch, felt that the time was approaching, and went to buy three cups of milk tea.
“One cup with all toppings and seven-tenths sweetness, and two cups without toppings and three-tenths sweetness.” Having spent a few days with Gu Jingyun, she had already figured out Gu Jingyun’s taste. Gu Jinyi’s taste should be similar to Gu Jingyun’s.
After the three cups of milk tea were ready, the school also opened its gate and students started coming out. Qu Anruo carried the milk tea to the car and found Gu Jingyun. She put the milk tea in the car and waited with Gu Jingyun at the school gate.
This was her first time waiting to pick up a student after school, and it felt quite novel.
Gu Jinyi saw Gu Jingyun… and Qu Anruo beside Gu Jingyun as she came out of school. She walked up to Gu Jingyun, and Gu Jingyun helped her take some of her books.
“I’ll give you a surprise later, okay?” Qu Anruo smiled and said to Gu Jinyi, following beside Gu Jingyun.
“Oh,” Gu Jinyi said coolly. She always felt that Qu Anruo was strange and had ulterior motives for getting close to her older sister.
After getting into the car, Qu Anruo gave the milk tea to the two of them and then took a satisfying sip of her own. Gu Jinyi didn’t like sweet drinks. She was about to refuse, but Gu Jingyun stopped her with a look. Gu Jinyi could only open the straw and take a sip. Unexpectedly, it wasn’t as sweet and greasy as she imagined.
