Chapter 347: Chapter 234: Deep Brotherly Love, and Chen Yuan Doesn’t Know His Dorm Has Two Moles

"What is it?" Jiangg Ning was completely bewildered. She had just tied on her apron and was about to rummage through the cupboard for the bag of rice.

Suddenly, she heard her younger sister chattering away as she walked over.

Jiangg Yao leaned against the doorframe, so excited she could barely speak.

"I’ve got it!"

"...You don’t mean...?" Ningning’s face turned white as a sheet, the color draining away in an instant. Her hand trembled as she reached out to touch her sister’s stomach.

"I have a brilliant idea."

"You scared me to death," Jiangg Ning said, patting her chest in relief. She turned back to continue preparing the ingredients for their meal. "Go on, I’m listening."

"We can go find Chen Yuan at school! Like you said, he can’t escape his classes."

"You still don’t get it," Jiangg Ning said with a sigh, scooping a spoonful of rice into the cooker. "The problem isn’t finding him. It’s about how to change his perception of us. Otherwise, apologizing once, or even ten times, won’t solve anything."

"No, you’re misunderstanding me. The point isn’t to apologize."

"Then what is it?"

"Look, he knows we’re twins now. That time bomb has already gone off, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! It means that from now on, he’ll see us as two separate people. We don’t have to ’share a body’ anymore. We can each develop our own relationship with him."

"Develop? Where are you going to develop anything? Chen Yuan won’t even sit down and listen to you for one minute..."

"At school."

"Where?"

In the kitchen.

Clear water gushed from the faucet, pouring into the rice cooker pot.

Jiangg Ning froze. That one word, "school," struck her right in the heart.

Slowly, it began to dawn on her what her sister was suggesting.

And then.

A soft SPLASHING sound, the sound of water overflowing the rim of the pot, snapped her out of her daze.

Jiangg Ning quickly turned off the faucet, lost in thought.

"The Young Master has to go to school anyway. If we go to campus and become his classmates, it doesn’t violate any rules, and he can’t refuse, right?"

"But... how can you be sure he’ll let you or me pester him until he gets back with one of us? He can reject me a hundred times and you a thousand times. There’s no end to it."

"Who said anything about getting back together? There’s no ’us sharing one body’ relationship anymore," Jiangg Yao said, blinking. "That’s gone... From now on, it’s two new, separate relationships. He’ll have no choice but to see us as individuals."

"Yaoyao..." Jiangg Ning struggled to find the words.

"I can pursue him, and so can you," Jiangg Yao said, stepping forward and gripping her sister’s hand, her eyes shining with an unreadable light. "There are so many pretty girls in college. After a breakup, he’ll be sad and vulnerable, and you can’t guarantee someone won’t try to worm their way in by being all nice and comforting. But it’s a different story if one of us is by his side. He won’t be able to date anyone else. It’s killing two birds with one stone."

"You... You’re a genius!"

Suddenly, Jiangg Ning felt like she’d had an epiphany.

Her mind was suddenly crystal clear.

’That’s right. Setting off this time bomb early... not all of the consequences are necessarily bad.’

’The most important thing is that we’re two separate people again. The whole twin thing is out in the open now.’

’There’s no need to hide anymore.’

’And for Chen Yuan, he only thought he was dating one girlfriend. This way... Yaoyao and I aren’t splitting into two ex-girlfriends. We’re one new potential girlfriend, and another new potential girlfriend!’

’That’s why he’s acting so distant and awkward.’

’He even calls us by different names now and always keeps his distance when he talks to us.’

’Destruction also means the rebuilding of order.’

’From now on, she wouldn’t have to live in constant anxiety. The freedom to seriously pursue a relationship was no longer a fantasy. All her restraints had been undone.’

’This was the beginning of a new phase.’

’Burying all the unbearable things from the past... how could that be a bad thing?’

"Your school doesn’t prohibit outsiders from auditing classes, right?"

"No, we can get auditing passes. Besides some of the major-specific courses that are hard to get into, we can just find a seat in any of the general lectures."

"That’s perfect."

"From now on, you pursue him your way, and I’ll pursue him mine. This is even fairer than one of those dating shows."

"That’s exactly what I think." Jiangg Yao couldn’t help but start to daydream... about a sweet campus romance with the Young Master. No one could steal Chen Yuan away from her. And even if someone could, it would only be her sister.

She was her only threat. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

’Still, it’s much better for the two sisters to compete for him than for some outsider to interfere.’

’Besides, Chen Yuan would never imagine they’d follow him to school. Even if he doesn’t want to get back together, he can’t stop a truly sincere pursuit.’

’At that point, it would only be a matter of time before he has a change of heart.’

’Three months, six months, a whole year, or even longer.’

’She would have more than enough time to win his heart. Isn’t that what she’d always dreamed of?’

"I can’t wait. I’m already dying to see the look on his face when we show up at school."

"Don’t get too excited just yet," Jiangg Ning said, unable to keep from smiling herself. "First thing tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the university and get two auditing passes. After that, I’ll contact one of Chen’s friends. With a mole on the inside, we can keep track of his movements."

"This plan is kind of perfect, Sis."

"But we need to set some ground rules first. We can’t disrupt the daily lives of the other students, or the school administration will get involved. We just need to pursue him quietly."

"Don’t worry."

"You always tell me not to worry, but I’ve never actually been able to."

"This time for sure... Since he already knows about the twin thing, it’s time we each rely on our own merits, Sis."

Jiangg Yao clenched her little fists. The soft kitchen light fell over the two of them, and a fiery, competitive spirit ignited in her eyes.
