On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

"Nana, is it possible that this phenomenon is actually quite common, and that we call it...love?"

"But, but I should have only just met him for the first time, yet I feel like we're very familiar, very, very close, like old friends who haven't seen each other for years. There's a strong sense of intimacy. Is this... love?"

"Of course, anything is possible in love, Nana. Since you've finally met him, you should seize the opportunity and not miss it. Don't think that you'll meet someone who makes your heart flutter again in the future. It's very possible that he's your one and only. If you don't hold on to him, someone else will take him away."

Lena wasn't too bothered at first, but after hearing what Anno said, especially the word "stolen" in Anno's words, Lena's heart clenched.

Subconsciously, she imagined what it would be like if that young man were with another woman, and she immediately felt boundless jealousy and resentment, even though...

That woman is Sister Anuo.

wrong!

How could I have projected Anno into this situation!

Lena quickly shook her head inwardly, blaming herself for her behavior. Sister Anuo had been so good to her, treating her like a younger sister. How could she possibly say that she was trying to steal someone from her?

After being reminded by Anuo, Lena quickly became frustrated again, saying with some disappointment, "But Sister Nuonuo, I, I feel like I've already let the opportunity slip away. I don't even know his home address, let alone his name."

"What about the phone number? Didn't you add each other's contact information?" Anno asked, feigning to be a strategist.

Lena sighed again and shook her head: "He doesn't have a phone."

"I see."

The blonde woman on the sofa also sighed, as if she felt sorry for Lena, but soon, Anno cheered up and encouraged her pink-haired best friend next to her.

"It's okay, Nana. I've been resting at home recently, and I've taken the opportunity to watch several films produced by Shanghai Media Group. One of them is about a female fortune teller."

"A female fortune teller?"

Lena was puzzled; she hadn't expected Nono to watch such niche films.

Shanghai Media Group?

Why does this sound so familiar?

Without giving Lena any more time to think, Anno continued, "Well, astrology is inherently very complex and profound, but fortunately, the female lead in this film explained it in a simple and detailed way, which taught me a lot about astrological postures and knowledge. It gave me some understanding of metaphysics and made me start to believe in fate."

"So, if he really is the one destined for you, Nana, then I believe that even if you two have missed each other now, in the near future, fate will surely bring you together again!"

At this point, Anno took the hands of her pink-haired sister.

As for the pink-haired sisters, Lena felt the warmth of Anno's hand in her palm, and with Anno's comfort, she couldn't help but nod and said again with gratitude, "Yes, I understand, thank you, Sister Anno."

"It's so good to have you here."

Chapter 330 I Have Someone I Like

When Anno mentioned that he had taken the day off to watch a movie at home, Lena suddenly realized that she had come to visit Anno, but now it seemed like Anno was the one comforting her!

"Speaking of which, Sister Nuonuo, didn't you say last night that your house was being renovated? Is it all done now?"

Lena glanced around the room.

Actually, she was a little confused when she entered the house. It wasn't her first time visiting Anuo's house, so she didn't notice anything different about the house compared to before, let alone any signs of renovation.

If I had to say

"And Sister Nuonuo, I noticed there's an extra pair of slippers on the shoe cabinet by the door. Did we have some guests?"

A few months ago, before she became the chief designer, Lena also lived with Anno, so she knew Anno's habits very well.

Anno is very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to home management. She would never leave things lying around. If there's an extra pair of shoes on the shoe cabinet that Anno didn't put away, it just means there's an extra person in the house.

And

Another reason why Lena couldn't help but ask was that the slippers were clearly men's style.

Oh, you mean that one?

“Remember when I told you I have a younger brother? He recently came from our hometown and is living with me.”

"Younger brother?"

Lena was a little surprised, but upon closer reflection, she realized that this younger brother wasn't someone who had just appeared out of nowhere; Anno had indeed talked to her about him several times before.

At the time, she secretly criticized Anuo based on his tone and expression when describing his younger brother, thinking that Anuo was definitely a brother-supporting demon and an extremely doting older sister.

"So now he is..."

"He should be at work, right?"

"Go to work?" Lena was a little surprised. With President An's current wealth, would he still need his younger brother to go to work?

Anno smiled and explained:

"He's about the same age as you, a newcomer to this city, and still a bit unaccustomed to it. So I thought I'd let him work his way up on his own first, and get used to it. Besides, how should I put it, my little brother is quite proud and arrogant. If I were to directly assign him to Senmeng, he probably wouldn't accept it, right?"

"In that case, I don't need to go through all this trouble. Anyway, with his abilities, he should be able to reach a similar level in no time, right?"

Although Anno's tone was very ordinary, Lena could still easily hear from her words the pride and confidence that Anno had in her younger brother.

If it were anyone else, Lena might not believe it. Starting from scratch is not that easy. But since it's Anno, his sister is so outstanding, his brother should be just as good, right?

Lena knew Anno's legendary story. This older sister really came to the city alone and started from scratch. She founded Senmeng all by herself, and then firmly established herself as a major company in the industry with "Falling 2". It was a legendary story.

It was getting late, and after chatting with Anno for a while longer, Lena got up to say goodbye.

"Okay, Nana, be careful on the road. If there's a chance, I'll let my brother meet you and get to know you properly. He's the chief designer of Senmeng. Who knows, he might even be a fan of yours!"

"it is good."

Lena nodded. When she changed her shoes in the hallway, she saw the slippers on Nono's shoe cabinet again and suddenly felt a sense of loss.

how to say

Now that Nono's younger brother has returned and visited her, Nono has family to keep her company and is no longer lonely.

She is still single to this day.

When Nono was alone before, Lena didn't feel it, but now that Nono suddenly has a younger brother, she seems even more lonely in comparison.

It seems they sensed Lena's loneliness.

Before Lena left, the blonde woman at the door stopped her.

"And Nana, don't just let me introduce your brother, I'm waiting for you to introduce your brother to me too!"

Faced with Anno's smiling teasing, Lena knew that he was trying to comfort her. However, the loneliness and emptiness in her heart did make Lena's determination to go in this direction even stronger.

She nodded, puffed out her chest with an air of authority, and said, "Hmph, don't worry, Sister Nuonuo. With just a little effort, what younger brother can't I, Lena, bring back? Just wait, it won't be long before I bring him to you!"

Faced with her pink-haired best friend's bold statement, Anno naturally clapped her hands, looking very expectant, and said:

"That's right, that's right. Director Lei is a goddess not only among us at Senmeng, but also among all the players of Falling 2. Dealing with a little brother is a piece of cake for her."

"Not to mention, you still have me!"

"Nana, I will support you secretly too!"

The emotional exchange between the two mature women came to a satisfying end. Lena hummed a little tune as she drove away from Anno's house.

As the pink-haired woman drove, she pondered how to find her younger brother again. Although Nono told her to believe in fate, Lena preferred to take control of her own destiny.

What Clena didn't know was that, less than a hundred meters away from her car, the destiny she desired had just brushed past her.

At the entrance of the residential compound, young people who had just finished get off work walked in with their heads down.

Liao Ji arrived at his doorstep with a complex and heavy heart.

He left work early today, actually because of one thing.

Before opening the door, Liao Ji took out an autographed photo from inside his clothes, glanced at it again, and then opened the door as if he had made up his mind.

"I'm home?"

"Why are you here so early today? Wait a little longer. A friend came over to visit a while ago, so we were a bit delayed. Dinner won't be ready for another fifteen minutes or so. Why don't you take a shower first?"

Liao Ji looked at Nuonuo peeking out from the kitchen. Although she was wearing an apron, her curvaceous and alluring figure under her home clothes was still tempting, making him wish he could eat her for dinner.

Moreover, after last night's experience, Liao Ji is now a bit sensitive to the word "shower," and feels that a certain part of his body has started to hurt.

Take a deep breath.

Liao Ji knew he couldn't continue making this mistake, especially last night, which was too crazy and made him feel terrible for Nuonuo!

Although it was Nono who asked for it.

but

Liao Ji shook his head vigorously, feeling immense remorse for his beastly behavior last night. It was a complete disrespect to Sister Nuonuo! It was such a waste!

After making up his mind, Liao Ji seriously told Nuonuo not to cook for the time being, because they needed to talk.

After the two sat down at the living room table, Liao Ji's first words were...

"Sister Nuonuo, it's me..."

"I have someone I like."

Chapter 331 Lessons Learned from Elf Stories (Part 1)

Liao Ji originally thought that Nuonuo would have a big reaction; if not jealous, she should at least be surprised.

The blonde woman simply nodded, then rested her chin on her hand and remarked with a touch of emotion, "Is that so? Hmm, it feels much faster than I expected."

"As expected...much faster?"

Liao Ji didn't quite understand what Sister Nuonuo meant.

However, Nono just smiled and didn't explain. After laughing it off, she quickly put on a very curious look, eager to hear what was going on, and impatiently asked the young man:

"Tell your sister how you met, what's her name, how old is she, and what does she do? Your sister is very curious about what kind of woman could capture our little brother's heart so quickly."

Faced with Nuonuo's enthusiastic questioning, which seemed to show even more concern for her than he did, Liao Ji was momentarily confused, as this was not quite the scenario he had imagined.

Are all women like this?

Although Nono's reaction was a bit strange, Liao Ji had no way back. He took out the autographed photo of Director Lei that he had prepared earlier from his pocket and placed it on the table.

“The convenience store where I work is right next to the Senmeng Building. Today, out of curiosity, I wondered if I could borrow a card from a friend to sneak into the building and visit Senmeng. But I was discovered by the Senmeng employees inside.”
