My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 98: Ninety-eight, Thoughts Chapter 98: Ninety-eight, Thoughts The setting sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow that painted the entire landscape a uniform shade of crimson.

By the creek, the women sang folk songs as they washed their clothes. They labored in the fields during the day and only found time to wash their clothes by the creek in the mornings and evenings.

“Alan!” After finishing her laundry, Ah Fang looked towards her best friend, Alan. There were no secrets between them.

Alan didn’t hear Ah Fang calling her, her gaze fixed on the babbling creek, lost in her thoughts. She had heard that a young woman of great beauty had arrived at Zhang Dahai’s home, and she was genuinely worried about the relationship between this woman and Dahai. Alan had harbored affection for Dahai for a very long time, yet never dared to confess her feelings. She wondered, what should she do to avoid missing her chance with him?

Feeling a few cool droplets on her face, Alan snapped back to reality and turned to see Ah Fang grinning at her mischievously, “Why are you splashing water at me?” Alan said as she bent down, reached into the creek, and playfully splashed water back at Ah Fang.

Ah Fang laughed and dashed away, “I’ve been calling you for ages, and you’ve just ignored me. Could it be you’re daydreaming about your lover?”

Alan’s face instantly flushed a deep red. She glanced around to make sure everyone had gone home after washing their clothes before letting out a sigh of relief and chasing after Ah Fang, “You’re terrible, keep spouting nonsense, and I’ll stop talking to you.” The matter of her affection for Dahai was a secret she had only shared with Ah Fang, not even her family knew.

While running, Ah Fang made faces at Alan, “Hahaha… If you like him so much, why don’t you take the initiative? Maybe he likes you too?” She genuinely felt anxious for Alan at times—liking someone was just that, tell them outright! She was even tempted to confess to Dahai on Alan’s behalf.

Alan stopped in her tracks, “I’m too scared to speak up; I fear his rejection.” She had encountered Dahai several times and wanted to reveal her feelings to him, but each time the words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t speak out. Besides, Dahai was a respected wizard, and she felt unworthy of him.

“Well, I do have a way to help you be with him, but it’s a bit risky,” Ah Fang whispered near Alan’s side.

“What way?” Alan asked eagerly, looking at Ah Fang. She was willing to do anything to be with Dahai.
