Chapter 677 - 186: Bravo! (Part 2)
The confidence that once suppressed everything is now nowhere to be found, leaving Bai Yi’s mind in turmoil.
She didn’t drink, just pursed her lips, and sat down with a heavy heart.
Beside her, Jiang Xiong glanced at her expression and asked with concern,
"Yiyi, are you under a lot of pressure recently?"
"Pressure..."
Hearing this, Bai Yi shook her head,
"I... don’t feel any pressure, everything is fine....
"I can sing, do what I love; I’ve been recognized and signed by a big company, so my mother has stopped nagging me, and Uncle Jiang has returned to Linmen...
"I often go to school, and although there are unpleasant things, I’ve made a lot of friends..."
Everything seems to be improving, but why do I still feel this way...
What about underneath it all?
With Bai Yi feeling like this, Jiang Xiong was even more perplexed, yet he still tried to help Bai Yi find the reason for her change in mindset,
"But Yiyi, there’s always a reason for a change in one’s attitude. I’ve been married to your mother for so many years, and I’ve watched you grow up from a young age...
"You weren’t like this before, so if there’s been a change, there must be a reason...
"Think about it carefully, if you find it hard to talk about it’s okay not to tell me, but you need to understand it yourself, okay?"
Listening to Jiang Xiong’s patient guidance, Bai Yi finally started to put aside her current predicament and began to trace back its causes.
Apart from these...
As Bai Yi thought and thought, something suddenly came to her mind.
But she couldn’t be sure after all, only lowering her head confusedly and gently stroking the pocket watch in her lap with her hand.
...
...
"Hmm hmm hmm~"
After dinner, in the hotel lobby, An Le stood with her hands over her belly, waiting for someone.
Bai Yi lived in Jinghe District, so after dinner, they drove away.
An Le lived in Luqiao District, and Yan Huan lived in the South District, the two areas weren’t very far, they could be called brothers in hardship.
So both Yan Huan and An Le politely declined Jiang Xiong’s offer to drive them home, deciding to go back together.
Now Yan Huan has gone to the restroom, and An Le is waiting for him to return.
On her shoulder, Little Thumb suddenly took shape, glaring at An Le with a sulky face.
Feeling its resentful gaze, An Le looked at it with confusion,
"What’s the matter, Little Thumb?"
This question made Little Thumb’s expression even worse, and it could only huff coldly,
"What’s the matter, why did you bother with that person’s life and death this afternoon? The last time too, you used a superconductor on that ride-share driver, why did you stuff money into his arms?! Wasteful!"
Hearing this, An Le had to explain,
"...Because that old lady looked very distressed, and I just had the ability to help her relieve it...that driver was helpless, insisting on going down to beat up Xiao Huan, so I could only compensate him like that...
"But, her suffering has nothing to do with you, and you helped her? Her life and death don’t concern you at all, alright?"
Little Thumb rolled its eyes, ruthlessly teased,
"And using superpowers in public, aren’t you afraid of being exposed?!"
An Le blinked, shyly smiled, and explained,
"But the old lady relaxed once before the end... Besides look, they treated me to a grand meal...
"Ha, what’s the use, the family couldn’t care less about you...overthought...
Little Thumb turned its head in annoyance, evidently having issues with An Le’s behavior.
However, An Le just looked at it kindly, pursed her lips, and said softly,
"But...the first time we met, when you, Little Thumb, lay battered and bruised on my windowsill, I also took you in and cared for you because I saw you in so much pain...
This made Little Thumb pause in surprise, inevitably turning back to look at An Le.
Feeling her gentle gaze, Little Thumb immediately averted its eyes.
Though it still snorted, when it spoke again, its voice was a bit softer,
"That’s different, I repaid you with my superpower..."
"But, Little Thumb also absorbed Emotional Energy from me~
"Ah, you’re annoying, why calculate these things between us?"
Getting increasingly unreasonable, Little Thumb was directly provoked and huffed in frustration.
And An Le indeed didn’t fuss over these things, only glanced expectantly at the time, softly saying,
"Those aren’t the main points, what’s important is what’s next...
"What’s next?"
Little Thumb glanced at An Le in confusion, then saw her face slowly turning pink, as she said bashfully,
"Didn’t we agree to... take Xiao Huan’s first time... I was prepared for it before coming today... a lot...
"Hiss~"
Ah, almost forget about that!
If Yan Huan came here today with a hidden agenda, to confirm An Le’s status, and to get information about her modifier,
An Le was also well prepared.
Not only did she wear specially bought provocative lingerie under her dress, but she also carried unopened small balloons in her bag...
A total of ten.
It’s uncertain if that’s enough, if not, she would have to buy medicine tomorrow morning or something.
An Le clenched her fists, her face slightly red, but her eyes sparkling bright.
She was clearly well prepared!
"No wonder, you didn’t let me use this week’s last Superconductor on that nurse today, you were waiting for this~"
Little Thumb opened its mouth, then laughed meaningfully, patting An Le’s back with its tail,
"Little pervert, good for you!"
"Ugh... it’s not because of that! It’s just not right to use it on the nurse!"
An Le’s face turned completely red, yet she couldn’t face Little Thumb’s knowing, penetrating gaze.
