Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 664 - 457. Confession Office
After the two arrived in Xu Qingfan's room, they locked the door from the inside.
Wu Lingyu picked up the remote and turned on the air conditioner, while Zhang Yiyi sat in the computer chair, hands clasped, waiting.
Once Yu had also settled on the stool next to her, Zhang Yiyi pursed her lips and spoke first, "Do you have any questions?"
"Ah?"
"Then I'll speak, and you listen."
"Mhm." Wu Lingyu opened and closed her mouth, then said no more.
Zhang Yiyi observed Yu for a few seconds, ensuring her emotions were stable, before saying, "I like Brother Fan."
Wu Lingyu's eyes widened involuntarily, not expecting Zhang Yiyi to be so bold and direct right out of the gate!
She was about to speak, but restrained herself, letting Yiyi continue.
Zhang Yiyi observed Wu Lingyu again for a moment and continued, "I've finished speaking."
[Not really.]
"???"
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Wu Lingyu almost choked on the abrupt turn of the conversation, as she had expected Zhang Yiyi to disclose the truth about her and Brother Fan, then beg for her secrecy, giving her the advantage to strike a deal!
That was it?
"Yu, are you okay?" Initially, Zhang Yiyi had been sitting with her legs crossed, but seeing Yu coughing so much, she also started worrying and stood up to pat her on the back.
"I'm... cough cough... fine." Wu Lingyu waved her hand, thanking her for the good intention, forgetting all the prepared speeches she had in mind.
Zhang Yiyi then went to the mini-fridge to grab a bottle of juice for her. Once Yu finally stopped coughing, Yiyi twisted the cap off and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Wu Lingyu took it and sipped lightly.
Neither spoke further, just gazing at each other, filling the room with silence and awkwardness.
It was Zhang Yiyi who broke the silence first, "Yu, if you have any questions... feel free to ask."
Wu Lingyu paused, set down her drink, and then mimicked Zhang Yiyi's posture, crossing her legs and clasping her hands.
She adjusted her facial expression and replied, "I also like Brother Fan."
"Mhm, I know that." Zhang Yiyi nodded, indicating she had known all along.
"..."
Wu Lingyu suddenly thought about running away because this Yiyi was really tough to deal with!
[Shouldn't I be the one accusing her?]
[Is this script messed up or what?]
Again!
"I know Yiyi knows, and I know Yiyi likes Brother Fan." Wu Lingyu stated.
Zhang Yiyi blinked, thinking: This statement is indeed interesting.
"But there's only one Brother Fan!" she straightened her back, arms crossed in front of her.
Wu Lingyu was silent for a few seconds, and just when Zhang Yiyi thought she was about to lose the argument, Yu suddenly fixed her with a piercing gaze and unexpectedly said, "What about Wanning then?"
Lin Wanning liking Xu Qingfan was something almost everyone knew as clearly as day.
Zhang Yiyi clearly hadn't expected Yu to counter-question her like this, and now it was her turn to fall silent.
"Wanning also likes Brother Fan." Wu Lingyu pressed her advantage, continuing.
"If Yiyi and Brother Fan are together, what will happen to Wanning?"
Zhang Yiyi's lips parted slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
She had underestimated Yu's tenacity!
"If Yiyi and Brother Fan are like this, Wanning won't get angry, right?" Wu Lingyu continued to press, partly driven by personal grievances.
[Let Yiyi shut me up with her words!] she thought.
Yu might seem straightforward, but that changes when Xu Qingfan is involved.
Zhang Yiyi felt somewhat helpless, thinking: What did I just provoke her for!
She was conflicted inside: Should I reveal mine and Wanning's secret to Little Yu?
[What does Yu mean by bringing up Wanning? Is she trying to trap me? Or does Yu genuinely want to join us?]
Zhang Yiyi questioned herself three times in her mind, her gaze suspiciously fixed on the person in front of her.
Wu Lingyu, with a calm and collected smile on her face, met her gaze, everything proceeding at her own pace, a very good feeling indeed!
[If Yiyi admits she knows about Wanning, how should I respond?]
[Should I betray Brother Fan...]
If circumstances allowed, Wu Lingyu naturally wanted to join the Wanning-Yiyi family.
After all, compared to battling alone, this sense of belonging was like a light in the darkness, akin to Che Guevara returning to prison, Andy breaking out of the cage!
But whether she was to be forced in as a prisoner of war or to cooperate as an ally for mutual benefit was still up for discussion.
Seeing Zhang Yiyi remain silent for a long time, Wu Lingyu continued to press, "Have you ever thought about how heartbroken Wanning will be if she finds out? Or did you plan to keep this from Wanning, keep it from everyone forever?!"
Yu's expression now showed three parts anger, four parts self-mockery, and five parts tears staining her dress, typical of a Star's mastery of acting, which she clearly had been watching a lot, and not in vain!
"I... I... I'm sorry." Zhang Yiyi hung her head in shame, her posture straightening up, showing a penitent and disciplined demeanor.
Mainly because she felt guilty inside, believing that secretly being with Brother Fan in that way was unfair to Little Yu, and even more so to everyone else.
Seeing this, Wu Lingyu decided to ease off, as she herself felt rather uneasy inside, considering her accusation of Zhang Yiyi could be seen as the pot calling the kettle black, her being the pot!
Wu Lingyu kicked the floor, rolling her chair closer to Zhang Yiyi.
She held the girl's hands, speaking with a motherly care, "Alright, what's done is done, what shouldn't have happened has already happened."
"There's no point in feeling guilty now, let's talk about the future."
Zhang Yiyi looked up at Little Yu, and for a moment, she truly hoped Yu would join them.
