"It’s about giving back what you receive, otherwise you’d feel guilty. My sister taught me that. It’s the same reason she always used to nag me about not inviting you over for dinner... She’s very good to Chen Yuan, too."

"In that case, he’s basically the main character of a power fantasy novel," Wan suddenly remarked.

"What’s a ’power fantasy novel protagonist’?" Jiangg Yao turned to her, looking curious and a little confused.

"It’s the male equivalent of those novels we read that are so satisfying they make all your stress melt away. The protagonist in a power fantasy novel is handsome, has pretty girls falling for him, and is super rich."

"Ohh," Jiangg Yao said, starting to understand. ’But that doesn’t quite fit. Only the first two points apply. I think the young master’s family is probably a little better off than average, but not super wealthy.’

But Jiangg Yao didn’t care about that. Whether Chen Yuan had money or not, her heart was set on being with him. A life of luxury would be nice, of course, but if that wasn’t in the cards, she wouldn’t mind at all.

As long as she had enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a roof over her head, a simple, quiet life would be more than enough to make her happy.

The two best friends chatted about everything under the sun, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Fengting District.

They rode the elevator up together. Jiangg Yao opened the door to apartment 1302 with a facial scan, and they stepped into the newly converted gaming room.

Wan looked around at the setup, clicking her tongue in amazement. She touched one thing and then another, finally exclaiming, "You did all this by yourself?"

"I’ve been at it all afternoon. I’m practically dead. I ended my stream early and got here at four."

"You poor thing. Are these boxes full of computer parts?"

"Yep. I haven’t unboxed everything. I was waiting for you to help me build them."

Jiangg Yao grabbed a nearby eyebrow razor to slice through some of the packing tape. She took out the stunningly beautiful computer components, laying them out one by one, and also lifted the cases onto the desk.

One black and one white—a matching set for a couple.

"I thought you would’ve bought three sets, since there are three of you now," Wan said with a smile that showed off her pearly whites. "Looks like you didn’t get one for your sister."

"She hardly ever plays games. Besides, getting her one would just get in the way of me and the young master building our relationship. No way I’m doing that."

As the two talked, they began to peel the protective film off the components.

Wan placed a case on the floor and squatted down, the ceiling lights glinting off her black leather shoes.

"So, the three of you seem to be getting along pretty harmoniously now. It looks like things have stabilized since he found out you’re twins. I haven’t seen you worrying about one thing or another lately."

"Yeah. After he found out, I actually feel more at ease. My only worry now is that Chen Yuan might like my sister more than me. But your advice from last time about just being myself worked surprisingly well, so I’m happy."

The corners of Jiangg Yao’s lips curved up, and she gave Wan a sweet smile.

"You’re plenty likable just being yourself. And if you want to win out over your sister, it’s actually pretty simple. All you have to do is—" Wan stopped mid-sentence, as if she’d suddenly realized something.

"Do what?" Jiangg Yao asked, confused.

"Nothing. I was just talking."

"Something’s up. You’d better spill it right now." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Jiangg Yao grabbed Wan’s hands and narrowed her eyes at her. She had the look of someone who was prepared to torture a confession out of her friend if she didn’t spill her true thoughts.

Wan tried to back away and break free, but Yaoyao cornered her, grabbing her slightly chubby cheeks and squishing them relentlessly.

"Don’t make me say it... I don’t want to betray Ningning’s trust."

"Oh?" At this, Jiangg Yao’s eyes lit up. "So you do have a good plan! Offer it up, quickly!"
