Chapter 643 - 177: There’s Xiao Dai!
"..."
After hearing what An Le said, a faint displeasure arose from deep within Ye Shiyu’s eyes.
But after glancing at An Le beside her, who was wearing a shy smile, almost as if "weakling" was written on her face, she eventually said nothing.
Firstly, this person was just a pushover, a nobody, not comparable to the likes of Spencer or Sakuragi Hitomi, or even Bai Yi, the typical glass cannon.
As long as An Le doesn’t show inappropriate intentions, Ye Shiyu wouldn’t bother paying attention to her.
Secondly, Xiao Huan was right in front of her, so being aggressive was unnecessary.
Thus, she simply nodded and agreed to An Le’s request to take a seat.
It was just squeezing in a bit with her...
"Thank you, Senior Sister Ye."
But just as Ye Shiyu was moving her chair closer to Yan Huan to let An Le sit near Bai Yi...
An Le blocked her and Yan Huan by placing her chair there first, occupying the space.
As Ye Shiyu paused in surprise, An Le, with a slightly reddened face, sat down shyly.
Bai Yi blinked, biting on the straw, too scared to speak, fearing trouble from above.
Only Yan Huan reacted swiftly, taking the conversation up proactively,
"Sister Shiyu, what would you like to drink? I’ll order it for you."
"..."
Ye Shiyu glanced at An Le beside her, who was pressing her lips and looking down like a shy little yellow flower, struggling to discern whether she did it on purpose or not.
But now, since they were all seated, she had no choice but to take the concession Yan Huan gave,
"Anything’s fine, Xiao Huan, thank you."
"Okay, let’s just order the same then."
Yan Huan smiled slightly, ordering milk tea for Ye Shiyu while trying to turn his head to look at An Le, wanting to figure out her intentions.
However, unexpectedly, An Le’s gaze remained fixed on him.
To be precise, it fell on the subtle atmosphere at the table.
Is it my imagination?
It seems Xiao Huan...
Is quite afraid of Senior Sister Ye.
Yet, the smile on Xiao Huan’s face is flawless.
An Le sensed that Yan Huan was constantly attending to Ye Shiyu’s emotions, almost as if he was afraid she’d unleash her anger.
But An Le was unaware that Yan Huan had a perfect facial expression management ability, making it difficult to distinguish if Yan Huan’s smile was fake.
Thus, in her eyes, the smile on Yan Huan’s face contradicted his instinctive fear of Ye Shiyu.
There’s only one reason that could cause such a contradiction...
Memory correction.
The only possibility was that Ye Shiyu used a superpower on Xiao Huan and did something during that process that scared him.
Afterwards, although Xiao Huan’s memory was corrected to forget these things, his body still retained an instinctive fear of Ye Shiyu...
Just like what Little Thumb did to Park Shuwen before.
And upon linking the thought that Ye Shiyu might have done to Xiao Huan something similar to what she did to Park Shuwen, possibly even more egregious...
An Le’s eyes were brewing a terror greater than that of Ye Shiyu’s.
So, you and Spencer both, towards Xiao Huan...
"...An Le, how about you, what would you like to drink?"
"I..."
Hearing Yan Huan’s inquiry, An Le lowered her head a bit more, sheepishly taking out her phone,
"No... no problem, I’ll just order by myself..."
"Let’s do it together, why scan it again?"
An Le bit her lip, suddenly brushing aside a strand of black hair by her ear, speaking softly with a reddening face,
"Because...when I was young, Xiao Huan always helped me with everything, whether buying things for me or coaxing me to sleep, so... I can’t always rely on Xiao Huan like that..."
"..."
As soon as she said that, the other three at the table were instantly stunned.
Bai Yi increased the strength with which she bit the straw, asking dumbfoundedly,
"Yan Huan coaxed... coaxed you to sleep?"
That simple question was like adding ingredients to boiling oil, causing the pot to instantly boil over.
Yan Huan was thoroughly left speechless, and on his shoulder, Meow-chan revealed herself sneakily, tilting her head to look at An Le.
An Le, are you going to destroy Yuanyue Academy, destroy this world?!
Even though...
Everything she said was true, when they were young, Yan Huan did indeed do those things...
But does the truth mean it can be said recklessly?!
Observing Ye Shiyu glance blankly at An Le beside her, Yan Huan was genuinely worried that this hypnosis field goddess might threaten An Le with a knife.
So, he pretended to speak naturally,
"Those were such small things..."
He initially wanted to add "I can’t even remember them," to cool down Ye Shiyu, but seeing An Le’s gaze on him...
Yan Huan ultimately didn’t finish that sentence.
"I... I’ve ordered it, Xiao Huan."
An Le sheepishly lifted her phone, and after Yan Huan ordered milk tea for Ye Shiyu, the atmosphere finally returned to a semblance of stability.
However, Bai Yi still couldn’t get over what An Le had said earlier.
She had always thought that so-called childhood friendships were just the kind of playmates you had when you were young.
You haven’t even finished your homework yet, but they’re calling you to come down and play.
Sometimes borrowing fifty cents to buy a popsicle, playing computer games at your house, and fighting for the keyboard keys in two-player games.
What does it mean to coax someone to sleep?!
Is that normal?
"..."
Bai Yi glanced at Ye Shiyu, who was squinting and realizing an unfriendly approach, and amidst the silence, this inscrutable terrifying senior hadn’t asked a single question.
Just good at being intimidating, but clueless about gathering intel!
Bai Yi glared in frustration at her "ally," deciding she had no choice but to step in herself,
