Chapter 264: A New Femme Fatale Appears (1)
Why are there two seniors?
Why is there no place for me by his side?
They looked so harmonious together, leaving no room for anyone else.
Rong couldn't keep pretending to sleep anymore. She sat up, circling around them in frustration.
But it was useless.
No matter how much she tried to join, it always ended in failure.
No matter how she looked at it, there was no place for her at all!
The more Rong thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears began streaming down uncontrollably.
In her mind, she recalled the words Queen Eden once said to her.
"They don't fight with you because they're kind."
"Otherwise, what makes you think you deserve to stay by his side?"
The sorrow in Rong's heart deepened, and her tears seemed to flood her entire world.
"Rong."
"Stupid Rong!"
"Wake up."
"Stop sleeping already!"
A faint voice echoed in her ears, as if it came from another world.
The voice was somewhat familiar.
She stopped crying and blankly gazed at the sky around her.
It felt like the entire world was trembling.
The voice, foreign to this world, grew louder and louder.
With a gasp, Rong's eyes snapped open, and she sat up abruptly in bed.
Sunlight streamed quietly into the room, filling it with warmth.
It was her familiar room, and even a familiar face was present.
Nia was leaning on the edge of her bed, curiously staring at Rong. She even reached out to touch her face.
"Why are you crying?"
After glancing at the tears left on her finger, Nia tilted her head in confusion, her eyes showing a hint of concern.
Rong looked at Nia blankly, instinctively touching her own face. Sure enough, her fingers came back damp.
So that's why her eyes had felt so swollen—she'd cried herself to sleep.
The sunlight outside signaled the arrival of a new day.
But as she recalled the dream from earlier, an unease still lingered in her heart.
Shaking her head, Rong suddenly leaned forward and gave Nia a big, tight hug.
Her soft, curvaceous body pressed fully against Nia, filling Rong's heart with gratitude.
Thankfully, it was just a dream. In reality, the senior princess wasn't like that at all!
"You're really my best friend!" Rong exclaimed sincerely.
Indeed, a dream was just a dream. The girl before her was undoubtedly her true companion!
Wrapped in Rong's embrace, Nia blinked slowly as she listened to her heartfelt words. A harmless smile formed on her lips.
She reached out to return the hug, gently patting Rong's back in a comforting rhythm.
"Good girl, little Rong, don't cry anymore."
Rong felt even more touched. It seemed like the senior princess truly cared for her! (Total misunderstanding!)
Rong remained oblivious to the real reason her love interest had stood her up last night.
Meanwhile, the person who had stood her up was working hard to ensure they wouldn't stand her up again.
Shia and Sistine were walking side by side along a quiet path. The surroundings were alive with birdsong and fragrant blooms, sunlight gently warming them.
Their destination was a visit to Sistine's best friend, who also happened to be one of the goddesses residing in the villa area.
As Sistine's best friend, Sistine was hailed as the "Sword Saintess," while her best friend was known as the "Dawn Saintess."
"My best friend is really nice, so don't feel too pressured," Sistine said seriously, turning her head slightly to emphasize her point.
"She's very easygoing."
The two were holding hands, and Shia could feel her slightly cool palm growing damp with sweat, nervously clinging to his.
Shia chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"Alright."
What do you mean I shouldn't be nervous? Clearly, you're more nervous than I am.
Besides, this was only a short ten-minute walk within the villa area, and yet this was the third time she'd reassured him not to worry!
But Sistine didn't get a fourth chance to repeat herself.
Because their destination was now in sight.
From afar, they spotted a graceful figure waiting by the courtyard gate.
A blonde woman in a dress the color of seafoam stood there, the fabric hugging her elegant curves and highlighting her mature and voluptuous figure.
Her entire being exuded a serene and gentle aura.
The asymmetrical hemline of her dress revealed her lace-covered legs, the intricate white stockings adding a unique charm to her already radiant presence.
Peep-toe heels revealed her delicate toes, adding a playful touch to her otherwise sacred demeanor.
As she leaned forward slightly, her face lit up with a warm smile upon seeing the two approach. Her expression radiated a combination of sweetness and tranquility, as if her very presence could heal those around her.
It was as though she was perpetually bathed in sunlight, emanating an aura of pure divinity.
She raised a hand, waving at them with an inviting gesture.
Even the sunlight seemed to soften, casting a gentle glow over her, as if she were surrounded by an ethereal white light.
If judged solely by her appearance, she would be the epitome of a perfect, goddess-like beauty.
But as Shia looked at her face, he returned her smile with a knowing one of his own.
A new femme fatale had arrived—a cunning green PUA girl in disguise.
Her appearance might be warm and soft, but her words and actions would undoubtedly cut to the bone!
As he mused over this, the three of them finally came together.
