Free Web NovelChapter 1562: Chapter 464: Unease (2)
Yan Huan has recently desensitized, especially after the modifier was resolved.
Ye Shiyu, this guy, is actually quite cute, he thought.
"So what do you want to have for dinner, and how will you get back tonight? If you don’t go back, Aunt Ye might be worried..."
As he spoke, a guilty expression appeared on Yan Huan’s face again.
Alvira told her own mess to both sets of parents, then...
Did she tell Aunt Ye?
For some reason, letting Aunt Ye know about this made Yan Huan inexplicably nervous.
It’s like when I was a kid, getting ridiculous test scores, or secretly buying a yo-yo with the money for study materials, worried that my mom would find out.
Although now, Aunt Ye hasn’t sent any messages.
"...I can take a cab later, Mom is not in Linmen these days, and I’ve already told Aunt Chen in advance that I won’t go back for dinner."
Not in Linmen?
That’s good.
"Okay... so what do you want for dinner tonight?"
"..."
"..."
Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu silently looked at each other again, Ye Shiyu expressionless, while Yan Huan had a big smile on his face.
A few seconds later, without getting an answer, Yan Huan turned his head on his own, rolled up his sleeves,
"Let’s order takeout."
"...Alright."
"..."
After such a weird conversation, Yan Huan didn’t look disturbed at all, but Ye Shiyu seemed a bit uncomfortable.
She pursed her lips, then suddenly asked,
"Sorry, Xiao Huan..."
"What’s wrong?"
"This kind of conversation is very strange... Perhaps that’s why my flyers can’t be distributed, and even the election... completely can’t match up to Bai Yi, who only occasionally comes to help..."
Yan Huan put down his phone, looked at Ye Shiyu, who was sitting there upright but seemed a bit tense, and listened as she continued,
"I don’t know... what to do now... nor how to interact with people... Even if I want to, it seems like without the hypnosis app, I can’t do anything..."
Even though Ye Shiyu used to think of Bai Yi as a clown, in the past few days since the world line changed, she became a heartthrob, and in school, there was even that so-called...
Yi Family Army.
And as for herself...
"..."
Looking at Ye Shiyu in front of him, Yan Huan pondered for a moment, put down his phone, and suddenly said,
"Okay, then I’ll teach you how to run for Student Council President, and how to interact with others, alright, Sister Shiyu?"
Hearing this, Ye Shiyu’s eyes slightly trembled, and she looked up at Yan Huan.
Facing her gaze, Yan Huan gave a slight smile, and helplessly said,
"Oh, come to think of it, we are opponents now... And here I am teaching you selflessly, you’ll have to repay me later, Sister Shiyu."
"...Am I and Xiao Huan enemies?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Huan’s expression instantly froze.
Ye Shiyu really has some kind of magic.
She can say things with a straight face that others find hard to respond to.
But unlike Aria, who speaks thoughtlessly because she understands nothing, Ye Shiyu knows everything.
She’s smart, very capable, and is aware of everything.
Perhaps it’s just because she’s been silent for too long that she’s lost the ability to express her inner thoughts accurately.
"Thud!"
Finding it speechless, Yan Huan lightly gave Ye Shiyu’s forehead a flick with his finger.
She remained expressionless, just looked up at Yan Huan.
Obviously, she realized she said something wrong again, so she wasn’t puzzled why Yan Huan tapped her head.
She just looked at Yan Huan like that.
And Yan Huan took the opportunity to get to the point, explaining to Ye Shiyu,
"Whether it’s an election or interpersonal relationships, it’s about making others accept you as much as possible; ideally, becoming popular, or at least not becoming disliked.
"Sister Shiyu, you are very capable, and extremely beautiful, you just need to make a little effort, and you’ll easily be welcomed by many people..."
Then Ye Shiyu asked,
"But, specifically..."
"Hmm, be a bit more human-like?"
"?"
Looking at Ye Shiyu, who tilted her head expressionlessly, with a look of "are you quietly insulting me," Yan Huan directly burst out laughing.
He shook his head while holding his stomach, and explained to Ye Shiyu,
"Sister Shiyu, you probably noticed yourself that your interactions with people aren’t quite like normal humans, there’s a kind of robotic feel to it."
"Mm..."
"You can try observing how others behave daily, take some cues and imitate... Hmm, me?"
Originally Yan Huan wanted to say Bai Yi, but sensing her previous resentment, he changed his target.
Saying himself seemed the most suitable.
"Xiao Huan?"
"Mm... How I usually interact with you, Sister Shiyu, you should have an impression, right? You can try learning from that..."
"Hmm..."
Ye Shiyu pinched her chin, then looked up at Yan Huan.
The next second, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a rare yet beautiful smile.
It’s indeed very pretty, but...
"Is that... it?"
"...The most impressive thing is Xiao Huan’s smile."
Yan Huan laughed in exasperation, but when she saw Yan Huan smile, Ye Shiyu’s mouth also slightly lifted, as if she was trying to learn.
Seeing this, Yan Huan immediately put on a straight face.
Serious.jpg.
Then, Ye Shiyu before her reverted to an expressionless look.
"Sister Shiyu, am I really just so..."
Yan Huan’s smile stiffened slightly, as she tilted her head to observe the "imitation sister" in front of her.
"Cute?"
But Ye Shiyu tilted her head in the opposite direction and softly added her own words.
"You... And how am I smiling like you? Look, I’m more like this..."
With that, Yan Huan showed her signature smile, comparing it to Ye Shiyu’s "imitation" to help her understand the difference.
Right then, Ye Shiyu, who was originally tilting her head, paused at Yan Huan’s smile and suddenly gazed directly at Yan Huan’s expression.
Yan Huan thought she understood the difference and was about to start teaching again,
"See, right?"
"Xiao Huan..."
"Hmm? What is it..."
"Did something happen to you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Huan was slightly taken aback,
"Why do you ask that?"
And Ye Shiyu just looked at her, speaking each word clearly,
"Because I sensed Xiao Huan’s unease and... fear."
"..."
Yan Huan’s eyes narrowed, reflecting Ye Shiyu’s figure.
After several seconds of being stunned, he forced a smile and shook his head,
"Really, Sister Shiyu?"
"..."
Ye Shiyu didn’t speak, she suddenly stood up.
Then, within Yan Huan’s slightly widened eyes, she gently stretched out her arms towards Yan Huan.
Under Yan Huan’s astonished gaze, she slowly pulled Yan Huan into her embrace, holding him tighter bit by bit.
Yan Huan initially resisted a little, but as that faint floral fragrance came, the cool embrace overwhelmed all his senses, making him abandon all resistance.
Perhaps, it was also because Yan Huan knew that Ye Shiyu was right.
He was certain he didn’t hallucinate earlier.
He indeed saw that hypnosis app.
He’s not a fool; having fought the modifier for so long, he knew exactly what was going on.
His modifier must have a problem.
Something bad must be brewing.
He has to give up the modifier.
But...
If there’s no World Modulator...
"Xiao Huan..."
At this moment, while lying in Ye Shiyu’s arms, Yan Huan slowly raised his head.
He saw Ye Shiyu hesitate for a moment, but she still summoned the courage to gently lower her head, kissing Yan Huan’s lips.
"Smooch..."
That cool sensation instantly seeped into Yan Huan’s soul, calming him down immediately.
"Previously, I felt fear and unease, so I always used hypnosis to protect myself.
"It was Xiao Huan being by my side, making me feel safe, so I gave up the hypnosis app.
"Now, Xiao Huan feels fear, so I also want to...
"Make you feel safe, just as you did for me."
That brief kiss brought Yan Huan back to his senses.
He blinked belatedly, then smiled and made a joke,
"Really? But back on the beach, wasn’t I very scared staying next to you?"
He was referring to that time when he almost lost himself to passion and ended up scaring Ye Shiyu, deciding to stop.
Yan Huan was just joking, but upon hearing it, Ye Shiyu froze, her face tinged with a faint pink hue.
The next second, she slightly averted her gaze, then suddenly muttered softly,
"But now... I’m not scared anymore..."
"..."
Yan Huan was taken aback, as if realizing the implication behind her words.
Who knew that before he could respond, the girl in front of him trembled slightly, asking back in a quivering voice,
"What about Xiao Huan...
"Are you still afraid of me now?"
