Free Web NovelChapter 1560: Chapter 463: Self-Slander (Part 3)
On the side, Little Thumb was carrying a pile of stuff with a speechless face, helping her feed the reptile pets.
While feeding, he also complained,
"Tell me, what’s the point of my existence... I thought not dying meant enjoying life by your side, but turns out I’m just doing free labor for you... Hey, why don’t you just keep me in this terrarium, having good food and drinks every day, wouldn’t that be great?"
Little Thumb had a small mouse in his mouth, ate one himself, and fed another to the reptiles in the box.
"Mmm..."
Behind him, An Le wasn’t paying attention to Little Thumb at all, just nervously turned over on the bed, kicking the mattress.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?!"
Feeling ignored, Little Thumb angrily flew over to An Le’s side.
"You actually..."
Looking over, An Le had just seriously sent a message to Miyake Huhu expressing interest in participating in the new work.
"Oh..."
Little Thumb flicked its tongue, glancing at An Le in surprise.
"Ding～"
But before he could ask, An Le’s phone rang again.
Both An Le and Little Thumb were stunned, looking at another chat interface on the phone.
There, a message from someone marked "Mom" came in,
"Lele, we’re planning to move back home in a few days... It’s really not okay for us to have left you home alone before..."
"I’m sorry, Lele, Mom and Dad were a bit too self-centered, we didn’t consider your feelings...
"Can you forgive Mom and Dad?"
Seeing this, An Le’s eyes widened in shock.
...
...
"Moving back home... What should we eat tonight? There seem to be some leftovers from the last meal with An Le in the fridge, if I heat them up..."
Night, South District.
Yan Huan took several buses from Jinghe District to the South District, bought some groceries at a nearby supermarket, and returned to the vicinity of his public rental apartment, with Meow trailing behind him.
Although he used to complain about this place being a bit small, after all, it had become home.
As if due to the time line change by the ring finger, even living in a big villa didn’t feel as comfortable as this moment returning home.
However...
"Xiao Huan～"
Recalling Wang Yulu’s smile from that beautiful dream, Yan Huan’s steps halted slightly.
At that time, the situation was urgent to save Bai Yi, and he could rationalize that Wang Yulu was only resurrected because of the modifier altering world lines.
To preserve the original stability of the world line and save Bai Yi, he had no choice but to do so.
But at this moment, standing alone in the dim hallway, he recalled what An Bang said about him being a "punk from the orphanage," and he barely realized what he had given up back then...
"... Yan Huan, Yan Huan! Come meow!!"
"..."
At that moment, on the sixth floor, where Yan Huan’s public rental apartment was located, Meow stood frozen as if electrocuted.
In the hallway behind him, Yan Huan slowly emerged from the darkness, his silhouette revealed by the ever-lit bulb on the sixth floor.
"What’s the matter?"
He carried his groceries and glanced at Meow, who had turned into a Thorny Dragon, asking this.
But at the turn of his head, he froze just like Meow.
"..."
Just because, right there in the sixth-floor hallway, at the doorstep of his home...
A beautiful girl with long black hair was squatting alone by the door, looking expressionlessly forward.
She was as motionless as a robot, and it was unclear how long she had been in that state.
Only when she heard footsteps coming from the hallway did she seem to trigger a program, turning her head to look this way.
So, she ended up locking eyes with the stunned pair, a person and a cat.
"..."
She tilted her head, looking over here, without speaking, as if identifying them.
Then, the next second, she tilted her head again and softly spoke,
"Xiao Huan..."
Only upon hearing her voice did Yan Huan confirm:
It was Ye Shiyu.
