Chapter 655 - 180: Overlapping (Part 2)
She bit her lip, faced with her mother’s angry gaze, and could no longer endure it, lowering her head.
At this moment, Yan Huan’s gaze also fell upon her.
Because she didn’t dare to look anymore, surely at this moment Xiao Huan’s gaze was even more filled with disappointment, right?
She instinctively extended a hand, as if wanting to get a little closer to Yan Huan, as a way of making amends, as an explanation.
But even if she contacted the other party, and attracted their attention, she still couldn’t say anything, could she?
"..."
But in fact, Yan Huan knew everything about these matters.
Where there was never any expectation, how could there be disappointment?
Sister Shiyu, you haven’t had a room to collapse in a long time...
But after all, on the surface, he probably didn’t know about this, and how to react really left one hesitant.
Put on a mask and pretend to be the same as before?
Afraid of giving her the wrong signal, making her think he didn’t care about this and then going even further with the modifier.
Put on a mask and pretend to be surprised, disgusted, distant?
Afraid of provoking her, leaving her desperate, and losing all boundaries out of desperation.
Every time facing the host of the modifier, Yan Huan always had an impulse to call the police.
Unable to advance, unable to retreat...
But for some reason, thinking about these things, Yan Huan oddly no longer felt the usual irritation.
Perhaps it was because he suddenly remembered the words she said last night, so at this moment, even as the rain curtain paused, that sense of calm still lingered in his heart?
"Aunt Ye... actually, it was me who brought Sister Shiyu here yesterday."
In the end, he still didn’t activate his expression management ability and took the initiative to explain.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan was slightly stunned, looking at Yan Huan in disbelief; behind her, Ye Shiyu also raised her head suddenly to look at Yan Huan.
Faced with Ye Lan’s suspicious gaze that questioned "Xiao Huan, are you out of your mind, could it be you’re enjoying what Shiyu did", Yan Huan found it hard to maintain his composure and began to sweat on his forehead.
"Yesterday, Sister Shiyu didn’t come looking for me, I met her under the teaching building. She seemed unwell, and I didn’t know if she had a fever...
"Neither of us had an umbrella, and maybe because of the heavy rain, our phones had no signal and we couldn’t make calls.
"So I really had no choice but to bring Sister Shiyu here to temporarily take shelter from the rain and rest a bit."
Having said this, Yan Huan also looked at Ye Lan and continued,
"Aunt Ye, I can guarantee that nothing happened between me and Sister Shiyu last night, and she didn’t do anything to me either."
"..."
Ye Lan looked at the Yan Huan in front of her for a long time, then raised her eyes to look at the Ye Shiyu behind him,
"Is what Xiao Huan said true? What’s going on, why did you lie?"
Ye Shiyu subconsciously nodded, but just as she was about to explain what she was planning to do, she suddenly remembered yesterday’s events.
And upon recalling yesterday’s events, the first thing that flooded into her mind was the plague-like pleasure.
Even though an entire night had passed by now, every time she thought of it, her body would still go weak, with a slight impulse to abandon everything to pursue ultimate joy.
Pleasure...
What terrifying presence was around that Pleasure?
Could that thing and the hypnosis app on herself be the same thing?
In other words, are there others like her who also have this kind of superpower?!
"..."
Thinking of this, Ye Shiyu dared not tell Yan Huan or her mother about this matter, so she had no choice but to play dumb and follow Yan Huan’s words, saying,
"I... don’t remember too clearly, I just wanted to take a walk by myself yesterday... but I seemed to have fallen ill and felt unwell... I think I met Xiao Huan midway, and I don’t remember much after that..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Knock knock~"
At this moment, the door to the hotel room was still open, and Officer Linmen knocked on the door, leaning against his police cap at the door, and said to Ye Lan from a distance,
"Ms. Ye, we checked the surveillance, and it seemed that due to the rain and thunder yesterday, there was a power outage in the hotel, and no records were kept."
"...Alright, I understand."
"Ms. Ye, if there is nothing else, we will leave now."
"Thank you, officers."
"No problem, it’s what we should do."
"Click~"
Listening to the conversation between Ye Lan and the officers, Ye Shiyu squinted her eyes and looked at her phone, deep in thought.
Ye Lan, who had been busy for a whole night, couldn’t help but rub her temples, saying somewhat helplessly,
"Xiao Huan, Auntie believes what you said, you don’t need to be nervous, Auntie never doubted you."
Saying this, she turned to look at Ye Shiyu.
After repeatedly confirming her expression at this moment, the calm-down Ye Lan finally confirmed that Ye Shiyu indeed did nothing wrong last night.
And after confirming this, she apologized to her daughter,
"I’m sorry, Shiyu, I misunderstood...
"I have been very busy lately, and after searching for you all night last night without any news, seeing you like this in the morning, I was indeed a little angry...
"Since nothing happened and you are fine, then that’s good."
Yan Huan watched Ye Lan apologize to Ye Shiyu, then glanced at Ye Shiyu who was pursing her lips beside her, thinking that she truly didn’t know her blessings...
It was Friday yesterday, Ye Lan worked all day, searched for Ye Shiyu the entire night, and after relaxing now, fatigue came rushing to her mind.
She glanced at Ye Shiyu’s leggings scattered on the ground, then glanced at their slightly wrinkled and rumpled clothes, and voluntarily turned her gaze away, walking towards the door,
"You guys tidy up, it’s too stuffy here, I’ll go downstairs to thank the officers, and get some fresh air... come down when you’re ready."
