Chapter 2326 - 740: It’s Me, Su Yu

Isolated from the noise in the living room.

"Qiuqiu."

"Huh?" Qiuqiu turned off the faucet and looked back confused.

Lingling leaned closer, lowered her voice, and asked bluntly, "Are you upset about Tang Song giving me a car?"

"Clang—"

Qiuqiu’s hand suddenly shook, and the apple fell into the sink with a crisp sound.

She hurriedly avoided Lingling’s gaze, stammering, "No, I’m not... How could I be..."

But her noticeably awkward tone and the reddening of her ears betrayed her insecurity at that moment.

"I actually understand," Lingling didn’t expose her, leaned against the counter, and sighed, "You know, Tang Song is quite the playboy, surrounded by many women. There are plenty who are richer and better than us."

Qiuqiu was stunned, not expecting Lingling to be so blunt.

She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Lingling took a deep breath and gave a somewhat self-deprecating yet candid smile:

"But what can I do? I really like him and don’t want to leave him. I know I’m not outstanding, can’t accompany him far and high like those heroines, and can’t have him all to myself. So I’m greedy, wanting to get as much care and visible preference from him as possible."

She looked at Qiuqiu, her gaze sincere: "I think... you might also have this insecurity and desire in your heart, right?"

Qiuqiu stared at her, dazed.

Lingling’s words were like a knife, cutting open the most hidden corner of her heart.

"So." Lingling reached out, holding Qiuqiu’s cold, damp hand, and said seriously, "We’re not really rivals in love. In this circle, we’re at most two insignificant people without much sense of security, huddling together for warmth."

"Lingling..."

"Alright, alright! I’m telling you this to prevent you from misunderstanding me and creating a gap between us. I’m just like this, say what I think, never hiding anything, and I sincerely want to be friends with you."

"I... I know." Qiuqiu bit her lip, her eyes a bit red, "Thank you, Lingling."

It was the first time she felt such enthusiastic and straightforward friendship.

The heavy stone in her heart seemed to be suddenly lifted, and her breath became much smoother.

Seeing the atmosphere turn heavy.

Lingling blinked, instantly returning to her cheerful self.

She wrapped an arm around Qiuqiu’s slender waist, teasing with a mischievous smile: "Speaking of which, if we could ’merge’ together, we’d be unbeatable!"

She pointed at Qiuqiu’s chest and then at her own butt.

"With our combined assets, our competitive edge would be top-notch! Hehehe, guaranteed to make him head over heels!"

"Ah! What are you talking about!" Qiuqiu’s face turned bright red, pushing her away in embarrassment, "You rogue."

"Hahahaha!"

The two started playing around in the small kitchen.

The previous misunderstanding and awkwardness completely vanished in the unabashed laughter.

Returning to the living room, turning on the TV, casting the screen.

The four girls snuggled back together, eating fruit snacks and watching variety shows.

Their topic still revolved around Su Yu and the Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Excitedly discussing what they would wear if chosen and what kind of makeup they’d apply to meet their idol.

Qiuqiu sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at the carefree, cheerful Lingling beside her.

A thought grew wildly in her mind like weeds.

She definitely couldn’t be as glamorous as her idol Su Yu.

If she wanted more love from Tang Song.

Perhaps she could use other special ways?

As long as she could get his love, even if it’s... something ridiculous, any effort would be worth it, right?

Once these secretive and dark thoughts emerged, it was hard to suppress.

They entwined her heart like a cold snake, making her feel unsettled, yet her cheeks flushed slightly with an inexplicable excitement.

...

Time ticked by, and the laughter in the living room gradually waned.

Li Shumin sat up from the sofa, glanced at the wall clock, and reminded, "Lingling, it’s almost eleven, isn’t that drama queen supposed to arrive?"

"Ah! Almost forgot!" Lingling patted her forehead, quickly snapping back.

The fact that her senior gave her a car had her so thrilled, she had been lost in joy and forgotten about it.

She picked up her phone and checked the time.

10:55.

"I’ll voice call her to check."

Lingling said, opening WhatsApp and finding the chat box with [Su Yu’s April].

"Yeah, yeah! Put it on speaker!" Zhang Jiahong wore an expression of anticipation, "Let us hear her voice! Su Yu’s voice is so distinctive, she’ll definitely reveal herself once she speaks."

"Dun dun dun~~ dun dun dun~~"

The voice call invitation ringtone rang several times and then stopped abruptly.

The other party declined the call.

"Tch—!" Li Shumin let out a long hiss, wearing a "told-you-so" look, "See? Told ya! She’s definitely just messing with us! Coming to Yan City, giving out CDs, all talk! If she really showed up, she’d be exposed right away!"

Zhang Jiahong nodded in agreement: "Meeting face-to-face would definitely blow her cover. She’s probably hiding behind the screen laughing at how naive we are."

Yao Lingling covered her mouth and laughed: "To be honest, I really want to meet her, she seems so amusing and interesting."
