Give Me Another Smile

teering himself as a phone holder.

Just as Wen Tao was about to hit the play button, he felt something wasn't right, so he searched his pockets and pulled out a pair of earphones.
Then, after helping Yin Zhao-an put on the earphones, he hit the play button with peace of mind.

When Yin Zhao-an saw Wen Tao's actions, she couldn't help but doubt his previous statement.
After all, if they were going to watch an ordinary drama, would there be a need to behave so secretively?

However, Yin Zhao-an didn't dwell on the matter.
If Wen Tao dared to act presumptuously because of her current frail state, she would simply hospitalize him once she recovered.

Fortunately, Wen Tao was true to his word and did not show her anything strange.
The show's opening was a bright and refreshing Japanese-style animation, and the BGM was also in Japanese.

In other words, this was a Japanese anime.

Yin Zhao-an used to be a half-baked fan of comic books.
During her early childhood, she would buy all kinds of comic books and magazines to read.
However, once she began focusing on studying and “getting her ass kicked,” she gradually grew out of this hobby.
At this point, her comic book and magazine collection was just collecting dust at the top of her bookshelf.

“It's just an anime.
What's so strange about it?” Yin Zhao-an asked as she watched the show's heroine put on a new outfit and reveal a lively smile, finding it tasteless.
Her Tang-Tang's smile was much cuter.

Wen Tao knew Yin Zhao-an would react as such, so he said, “I'm naturally showing it to you because something is interesting about it.
Don't be impatient, and watch a little longer.”

Subsequently, the heroine in the anime picked up the bread and milk on the table and left her house in a hurry.
A moment later, the heroine bumped into another girl at an intersection.

The other girl in question was quietly standing at the intersection with a schoolbag in hand when the heroine bumped into her.
After the collision, the girl stumbled forward and looked back in astonishment.
However, as soon as she saw the heroine, the look in her eyes softened.

“The heroine has appeared, Big Bro Zhao,” Wen Tao said as he excitedly pointed at the girl who had just appeared on the screen.

“The first girl isn't the heroine?” Yin Zhao-an asked with a confused frown.

“She is also a heroine.
There are two heroines,” Wen Tao said as if it were a matter of course.

“Oh.” Yin Zhao-an's interest died when she heard Wen Tao's answer, her mind automatically assuming that this was going to be another cheesy drama involving a love triangle.

Sure enough, shortly after the second heroine appeared, the male protagonist also appeared.
The protagonist was a sunny boy riding a bicycle, his hair fluttering in the wind as he greeted the two heroines.

Then…the protagonist left without another word.

Yin Zhao-an was stunned, but not by the male protagonist's very brief appearance on screen.
Instead, it was because after the supposed male protagonist disappeared, the two heroines had actually…kissed!

What kind of confusing plot was this?!

Unlike Yin Zhao-an, Wen Tao reacted to the scene in excitement.
Then, through the reflection of his phone's screen, he saw Yin Zhao-an looking at him as if he was a fool.
