Chapter 755 - 210: Elder Brother 2
"..."
Idiot!
It’s looking for food from you!!
Seeing this, Bai Yi was exasperated but couldn’t help turning to quietly ask Ye Shiyu,
"Hey, Ye Shiyu, you heard it too, right? Yan Huan voluntarily gave her a gift just now!"
"...That might not necessarily be a bonding gift."
"Then why didn’t Yan Huan give us one?"
"..."
Hearing this, Ye Shiyu was at a loss for words too.
After all, when the "Anti-Spencer Alliance" was formed earlier, they all assumed Yan Huan didn’t like Spencer and was only forced to comply because of the Spencer family’s formidable influence.
And if Yan Huan had a fondness for Spencer, even just a little...
For them, it would be the end of the world.
However, at this moment, with the Great Demon King An Le present, they all tacitly avoided that possibility.
"Forget it, we’ll know whether it’s true or not if Yan Huan continues to give gifts! A bonding gift has to be given for ten consecutive days..."
Thinking of this, Bai Yi could only console herself like this,
"Yeah, if it’s ten consecutive days, what should be given today?"
When this was brought up, both Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu felt a bit troubled since they didn’t really know Yan Huan’s preferences.
But noticing Sakuragi Hitomi’s natural expression from the corner of her eye, Bai Yi couldn’t help but wonder,
"By the way, aren’t you a rich heiress? Why did you just give such a small gift yesterday?"
Hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi looked at Bai Yi, who was clueless about this, and reluctantly explained,
"Gifts exchanged in normal friendship should be reciprocated, not just one-sided charity, after all, it’s not like asking for a favor or rewarding a subordinate.
"Generally, when people receive an expensive gift, their first reaction is that they’re unable to reciprocate with a gift of equal value, so they are likely to refuse it.
"That’s why, all along, the gifts I’ve given to the President or other members of the student council haven’t been too lavish..."
This is actually somewhat counterintuitive, as most people would think the more expensive the gift, the better.
But it also depends on the occasion; it can’t be generalized.
For someone like Sakuragi Hitomi, it’s not that she can’t afford more expensive gifts; it’s just that sometimes doing so could backfire.
This can’t be blamed on Bai Yi or the others, as Ye Shiyu and Sakuragi Hitomi are just more sensitive to these things due to their backgrounds.
"..."
Listening to this convoluted explanation, Bai Yi couldn’t help but rub her forehead in frustration.
This was a bit too complex for her, and she believed it would be the same for Spencer too.
In front of her, Sakuragi Hitomi, having finished explaining, was about to leave when she suddenly noticed a white Porsche 911 Targa parked not far away.
At the sight of that sports car, Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyes narrowed, and her expression turned tense.
"!!"
Seeing Sakuragi Hitomi suddenly go silent, Bai Yi followed her gaze and asked in confusion,
"What’s wrong? Is that car a rare model or something?"
"No...it’s not..."
Sakuragi Hitomi pursed her lips, turned back nervously, and said to Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu,
"That’s my brother’s car. He’s here too!"
"Your...brother?"
Bai Yi, seeing Sakuragi Hitomi’s anxiety, thought it must be something major.
Upon hearing it was just her family, she breathed a sigh of relief and joked,
"...So, why are you making that face when your brother’s here? You don’t get along?"
Seeing Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu confused, Sakuragi Hitomi didn’t have time to explain.
She quickly looked around and anxiously said,
"No, my brother dotes on me...but he has a grudge against the President!"
"Huh?"
"In any case, I must prevent my brother from meeting the President! Otherwise, they’re definitely going to fight!!"
Sakuragi Hitomi nervously took out her phone, opened her contacts, found the one labeled "Kagami," and was about to call him,
"My brother is really skilled in karate! He can take on a lot of people at once! If he beats up the President..."
Hearing this, Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi were stunned, then simultaneously pulled out their phones or pocket watches.
Seeing this, Sakuragi Hitomi immediately shouted,
"You’re not allowed to use superpowers on my brother either!!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi silently put away their phones and pocket watches.
Seeing Sakuragi Hitomi’s call was left unanswered, Ye Shiyu sighed and looked towards the direction of Nara Park,
"Since we also don’t know where your brother is, the only solution is to stay close to Xiao Huan."
"Yeah, as long as he approaches, we’ll stop him."
Sakuragi Hitomi looked at the unanswered call on her phone and could only hang up,
"This... is the only way... so, let’s find the pre..."
Huh?
But as Sakuragi Hitomi glanced around, she couldn’t spot Yan Huan anywhere.
Oh no!
Could someone have slipped away?!
The three of them froze simultaneously and instinctively turned their heads to look in Spencer’s direction.
But they only saw her alone, "roaring" as she chased a large herd of deer. The frightened deer didn’t even dare to eat the cookies, only focused on escaping from the scary upright ape.
"..."
Seeing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nobody was sneakily eating...
Hmm?
As they thought about it, an ominous figure simultaneously appeared in their minds.
Their little faces turned slightly pale as they looked at each other,
"An...An Le?"
The real problem wasn’t An Le sneakily eating...
Don’t forget, she and Sakuragi Hitomi weren’t on the same side.
If Sakuragi Hitomi’s brother attacked Yan Huan, do you think An Le would use her superpowers on her brother?!
The thought of An Le’s pleasure-manipulating tentacles sent a shiver down Sakuragi Hitomi’s spine.
If her brother was publicly...
His life as the heir of the Sakuragi Family would probably come to an end, right?
"Quick... Quick, let’s find the President and the others!!"
Sakuragi Hitomi dared not think any further, quickly speaking in a trembling voice.
...
...
Meanwhile, inside the East Great Temple.
"Xiao Huan, look, the Moonlight Bodhisattva..."
In the vast hall, An Le followed behind Yan Huan, looking at a statue of a Bodhisattva, and spoke with admiration.
Yan Huan, walking in front, turned back and glanced at the Bodhisattva with lowered eyes.
That was the Moonlight Bodhisattva.
Legend had it that this Bodhisattva represented the goodness of the Tathagata’s transformation, easing the suffering and disasters of beings, and brought peace and pleasure to them.
"Is there something special about this Bodhisattva?"
"No...not really..."
Upon hearing this, An Le shyly scratched her cheek and explained,
"Didn’t I leave Linmen and go to school in Yong Zhou of Dragon Country before? At that time, in the temple near my school, there was also a Moonlight Bodhisattva, and I often went there alone..."
Looking at her profile, Yan Huan couldn’t help but look at the Bodhisattva in front of them, smiling as he asked,
"People pray to gods and Buddhas for various reasons. Why did you pray to the Bodhisattva? To do well on exams?"
An Le also looked at that Bodhisattva and shook her head,
"No, I prayed to the Bodhisattva, hoping that I could return to Linmen one day..."
Hearing this, Yan Huan was taken aback and turned to look at An Le.
Beside him, An Le happened to withdraw her gaze and turned to look at Yan Huan as well.
At that moment, their eyes met.
As their eyes met, An Le’s face heated up, and she quickly looked away, whispering,
"Anyway, I came back eventually, so...I think this Bodhisattva is very effective..."
"I see..."
After speaking, An Le looked at the Bodhisattva again, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.
She prayed before the Bodhisattva for a long time before finally opening her eyes, standing in place for a while.
Seeing this, Yan Huan moved a little closer to her and asked,
"Earlier, you prayed to the Bodhisattva to return to Linmen. What about this time?"
"..."
An Le turned to look at Yan Huan, unexpectedly showing a sly smile, and said,
"I’m not telling Xiao Huan."
"..."
Could it be related to the promise on the last day?!
Looking at her mischievous smile, an uneasy feeling rose in Yan Huan’s heart.
After touring the East Great Temple, the two walked out of the hall, planning to visit Kasuga Taisha next.
On the road, Yan Huan remained silent for a long time. Seeing that it finally quieted down a bit, he thought it was time to ask.
He had read something in An Le’s "Childhood Friend Turned S Vampire" notebook and wanted to ask her.
"By the way, An Le..."
"Hmm, what’s up, Xiao Huan?"
Yan Huan stopped, turning to look at An Le.
Just as he was about to speak, a furious voice suddenly came from in front,
"Yan Huan!! I’ve finally found you!!"
The source of thɪs content is NoveI★Fire.net
Hmm?
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Yan Huan was startled and turned to look ahead.
He saw a pink-haired boy charging aggressively in their direction, then posed himself and leapt towards Yan Huan’s face.
Behind them, at the gate of the East Great Temple, the belated Sakuragi Hitomi and her companions saw this and immediately exclaimed that it was not good.
"Brother!"
