The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Cheng Yu continued, "She helped me get back to my feet. If she weren't there for me, I would've gone mad at the very least. 

Since then, I started to trust Xia Luna, and to thank her, I made a painting as a gift for her. That was how we became friends." 

When Cheng Yu was done, Li Lanni snickered. "She made it sound so mysterious." 

She then realized the main point. "I'm nowhere in that story." 

Cheng Yu remembered something and looked awkward. "Well, when we became friends, I helped her set up a meeting with you. But when you first saw her and learned who she was, you hated her. You were so jealous of her that you almost hated me along with her." 

"Jealous?" Li Lanni's eyes went wide. Jealousy?

"Yes. Because she had always been with your dad while as for you... Since childhood, you spent so much effort trying to meet him at least once, but you couldn't.  Then as you grew, you started to believe that he was dead. 

Li Lanni remained silent. If she had believed that her father was dead, both she and Cheng Yu knew who was the reason for that. But why would her mother make her misunderstand?

Her mother really seemed to hate the Xia family. From what she had said about them the previous night, Li Lanni had almost believed that Xia Luna was an example of an evil sister. 

She would never have guessed that the evil twin was her.

Now, she really wanted to smash a brick against her head. Why was she so mean back then? How could she throw her temper around?

Cheng Yu saw her expression and knew what she was thinking. "Honestly,  you have always been a good person.

But once Luna appeared, I don't know what hit you either. It was as though some evil being had possessed you. If you were not constantly finding reasons to pick fights with Luna, you were keeping to yourself and ignoring people." 

The more Li Lanni heard, the more she wanted to bite herself up. Was she that evil? How could she behave like a shrew?

"Then, one day, Luna took you to meet your dad. It turns out he had missed you too. Since that day, you became the bubbly and kind Lanni that I knew. You even became friends with Luna. You flaunted how both of you were telepathic and drowned me with all your sisterly love. Jeez!" 

Li Lanni was shocked by the sudden roller coaster of emotions. Cheng Yu must have done it on purpose! 

She had thought that after she knew how Cheng Yu and Xia Luna were related, she would calm her restless mind. But after hearing all this, she felt more disturbed. She felt conflicted. She didn't know whom to listen to!

Her mother had said that her sister was evil, while Cheng Yu said she was kind and caring. Why did her mother hate the Xia family to the core?  What happened in the past? 

Moreover, she felt guilty about her past behaviour towards Xia Luna. She shouldn't have done that. How could she throw her temper around so childish?

Cheng Yu knew what she was thinking, so she suggested going to Xia Luna's apartment together. 

After thinking about it, Li Lanni agreed to go. She wanted to know what had happened in the past that made their family to fall apart. She was sure that she wouldn't get any answers from her mother, so she could only ask Xia Luna.

.....

" Lanni, we're here." Cheng Yu saw that Li Lanni was still in a daze, so she called her out. 

While she was busy organizing her thoughts, Li Lanni realized they were already at Xia Luna's unit.

Her heart raced; she bet it wouldn't race this fast if she were going to meet a boyfriend. She had gone back on her own word so fast...

Cheng Yu found her expression comical. "She's your sister. Do you have to be so nervous?" 

Li Lanni rolled her eyes and put on a nonchalant face. 

Since Chen Yu had the spare key, she directly opened the door before announcing, "V, look who I brought." 

Li Lanni turned to look at Cheng Yu with surprise. "Who is V?" 

Before Cheng Yu could answer, a 'guy' came out from the kitchen with a glass of water in 'his' hand. 

"It's you!" Li Lanni suddenly shrieked. Xia Luna was also shocked by Li Lanni's arrival. Even in her dreams, she hadn't thought that Li Lanni would come to her home on her own accord. But after a while, she calmed down.

Cheng Yu shifted her gaze between the two before asking Li Lanni curiously, "Did she prank you?" 

Li Lanni looked like she wanted to beat someone up. "You're the guy who appeared at the hospital that day, right?" Although the face was obviously a girl's, she was wearing masculine clothes that were slightly bug for her, so the figure passed off as that of a young man. It was only upon very close inspection that one would notice the slight curves on her c.h.e.s.t.

No wonder she had felt that man was too skinny. It turned out it was a girl. 

Xia Luna drank her water as she waited for Li Lanni to calm down before explaining, "I like wearing male clothes." 

"Why?" 

"They're comfortable." 

Li Lanni was speechless. 

A girl who found male clothes comfortable? 

Cheng Yu saw that this conversation was getting awkward, so she chuckled. "Luna likes to act rebellious. But she isn't too rebellious." 

Li Lanni nodded; everyone had their own preferences. She then asked, "Why did you call her V anyway?" 

"That's an alias she uses online." 

Li Lanni had had enough of all this mysteriousness. "So many aliases... don't tell me..." 

Xia Luna laughed and said, "I won't tell you." 

Li Lanni saved her strength. Why was it so hard to hold a conversation with Xia Luna when they were twins? Where was the so-called telepathy and understanding that was supposed to exist between twins?!
