"Sigh, Old An, help me throw out the trash downstairs."

"Let's do it after lunch..."

"Just go now!"

Luqiao District, Anle's house.

Anle, her gaze empty, gradually had her attention pulled back to reality by the conversation of her parents. She blinked and looked toward her father who was still lying on the sofa.

Then, she got up and said,

"...I'll go throw it out, Dad."

"Hey, you sit down and rest. I'll go now."

Anle shook her head, picked up the trash bag, and said faintly,

"I'll take the chance to get some fresh air. It's fine."

"Ah... okay, make it quick. It's about to rain outside."

"Mhm."

An Bang reclined back onto the sofa, and Anle took her gaze back.

After changing shoes, she turned and entered the old stairwell.

"Buzz..."

Above, the flickering ceiling light, due to poor contact, projected moving shadows next to hers against the wall.

"Ding~"

The phone screen in her hand suddenly lit up, it was a message from Spencer.

Anle stared at Spencer's question, her eyes still flickering with a faint light.

Her fingers trembled as she started to lift them, seemingly wanting to reply.

But the next second, the image of Spencer publicly kissing Yan Huan flashed through her mind like a nightmare that wouldn't dissipate.

That image left scars in her mind, causing her great distress, and she hurriedly turned off the phone screen.

"Ssst~"

In her ear, the sound of a snake hissing came.

Little Thumb poked out its head, saw her turn off the phone, and couldn't help but taunt with a laugh,

"I warned you before, Spencer had ulterior motives, and you had your doubts already. But it's a pity you didn't believe..."

"You saw her as a precious friend, not wanting her to leave, so you'd rather deceive yourself.

"And how did she repay you?"

Listening to the devilish whispers in her ear, Anle's expression involuntarily twitched.

She painfully covered her head and subconsciously retorted,

"Maybe... Spencer was just... too impulsive at that time, she didn't really mean to..."

"Hehe~"

Little Thumb didn't speak further, only hissed and then quietly disappeared again.

At that moment, Anle also happened to exit the stairwell, smelling the air heavy with the scent of rain.

The harsh wind brushed against her frail body, but she seemed unfazed, merely walking to the trash bin and dropping the bag in.

"..."

In the moment the trash fell into the bin, it was as if she had discarded some of the negative emotions accumulated in her heart.

She took a breath, her complexion warming slightly.

But the next second, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar blonde girl nearby looking at her.

"..."

Anle's body stiffened, then she bit her lip and pretended not to see as she turned to leave.

"Anle!"

Behind her, Spencer's voice calling out to her didn't make Anle stop; instead, it made her walk faster.

Seeing this, Spencer paused, hesitated for a second, and then hurriedly followed.

"Tap tap tap..."

A quick pace approached; physically, Anle was no match for the athletic Spencer.

Before she had gone far, Spencer caught up next to Anle, continuously saying as they walked,

"Anle, you... you didn't reply to my message... and..."

"..."

"And Jiang Yun senior told me you're quitting the club, you…"

"..."

After speaking twice without a response, Anle continued walking.

Seeing this, Spencer bit her lip, unable to endure any longer, she reached out and grabbed Anle's arm,

"Anle, wait a moment, can't we talk about whatever it is directly? Do we really have to... have to be like this, I..."

"..."

As Spencer reached out and grabbed her, Anle's expression finally changed ever so slightly.

She bit her lip, the faint light in her eyes finally flared with warmth, causing her to stop.

Hesitating for a moment, she slowly turned around and looked at Spencer by her side.

Seeing Anle stop, Spencer's face finally lit up with joy; she quickly walked in front of her to prevent her from running away.

At that moment, Anle, having changed out of her patient gown, was wearing a loose-fitting, snow-white dress that revealed her outstanding figure.

Yet, what was usually a neatly arranged headpiece now seemed somewhat disheveled.

Beneath strands of messy black hair, her dark eyes, surrounded by dark circles, retained just a glimmer of light.

That glimmer drove Anle to action, and so she looked up at Spencer.

After a moment of silence, Anle asked,

"Spencer, you're looking for me, is there something you need?"

Hearing the subtle rejection in her words, Spencer felt a tightness in her heart.

She bit her lip, touched the back of her head, and hesitantly said,

"It's just that you suddenly stopped replying to messages, and you were talking about quitting the club, so I... I'm worried about you..."

"Worry... there's no need to worry, I'm fine."

Anle lowered her gaze slightly, softly saying,

"Spencer, you won the club showdown, so you can stay. I no longer need to stay in the Hentai Club..."

Hearing Anle say this, Spencer bit her lip even harder.

After waiting a second or two, she finally could not restrain herself and reached out to grab Anle's wrist.

"!!"

Anle's eyes narrowed slightly, instinctively drawn by Spencer's pulling force, she inevitably looked up at her.
