At this moment, seeing An Le, who was slightly flushed and turning her excited gaze, Yan Huan immediately felt a bad premonition.

Bu Hao, this expression!

Having spent so much time with An Le in the South District before, Yan Huan was all too familiar with her habits.

Though it's been years since they last met, and An Le was somewhat different from the impression she had, her habitual shyness and bashfulness remained the same.

Yet, after all this time, it was the first time Yan Huan saw her show such a complex expression.

Shy, excited, and cautious all at once...

Yan Huan instantly realized something was off!

Yan Huan's keen perception should be credited to Ye Shiyu.

He was almost trained by Ye Shiyu to use a spider's sense with the modifier.

Ye Shiyu's demeanor and emotions were always calm, with a blank expression that made it impossible to guess her thought process.

Combined with her signature zero-frame starting move, she was simply unbeatable.

Even though he's been deceived by her many times, even triggering the defeated CG, Yan Huan gradually kept up with her rhythm.

Familiar with Ye Shiyu's hellish difficulty, An Le, who had a great preparatory move and obvious reactions, was clearly on simple difficulty.

"..."

Sensing danger, Yan Huan swallowed and a ring mysteriously appeared in his palm.

At the same time, his eyes and brain worked frantically, considering ways to respond.

In the corner of his eye, he suddenly glimpsed a bus behind An Le, waiting at a red light, about to arrive at the bus stop on their way.

So, he had a quick inspiration, and before An Le could speak, he said,

"Hiss, An Le, that bus happens to go by my house. This place should not be far from yours, right? How about I drop you off here, and you go up by yourself?"

"Eh, eh?"

Upon hearing this, An Le was slightly taken aback, her lips pressed tightly in embarrassment, and she smiled shyly,

"Well...that's right...I thought since we didn't do much during the day, my parents might take a while to come back... So, I wanted to ask if Xiao Huan would like to grab some milk tea or something..."

Hiss...

No action?

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan scrutinized An Le's expression, paused for a second and asked,

"Let's forget about it today, we'll have plenty of opportunities when we return to school."

"That's... that's true... but although Xiao Huan and I are in the same grade, it's rare to see Xiao Huan at school..."

After saying this, An Le immediately waved her hand, understandingly said,

"It's okay, it's a bit late anyway, and maybe after a while, my parents might be back…"

After waiting for a long time without seeing An Le take any action, and still doing things like before, making choices to care for and please others.

Could it be a misconception of my own?

Or rather, the "Ye Shiyu experience" doesn't match An Le's reality, and I have been subjectively conjecturing based on experience?

Besides, what An Le said is indeed true.

So tonight, is it just like this?

Or perhaps...

Start a round?

Thinking this, Yan Huan glanced at the chain milk tea shop just in front on the street, then nodded and said,

"Alright, let's go sit for a while."

"That's great, Xiao Huan..."

An Le, who had previously been somewhat disappointed, instantly became happy and turned around to lead the way.

They walked while continuing to chat about this and that with Yan Huan.

"Xiao Huan, being the student council president must be quite tiring, right?"

"It's alright, chatting and joking with the other members of the student council is quite interesting too, every day feels like a slice-of-life anime..."

Well, at least it was like that before that damn modifier invaded this world.

But when it comes to being tired, it's certainly not because of the student council, it's mentally exhausted because of the modifier.

Not tired, just unfortunate.

"But it always feels like Xiao Huan... often seems very stressed."

"Previously, when drinking milk tea with Senior Sister Ye and Bai at the shopping street, and today at the charity performance as well..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes narrowed as he glanced at An Le's back.

But she only put her hands on her belly, slowing her pace, warmly said,

"When I was little, Xiao Huan was like my tree hole. I would tell you my worries and you would patiently guide me...

"Now, I want to help Xiao Huan too..."

Just worried about me...

Listening to An Le's gentle words, Yan Huan couldn't help but smile helplessly.

In the afternoon, seeing that unfamiliar feeling on her again surged up, making Yan Huan's heart stir slightly.

But regarding the modifier, better let it go.

"An Le, I..."

At this moment, they happened to stop in front of a place with a flashing "Love Nest" sign.

As Yan Huan was about to speak, the originally bright and warm light beside him suddenly became tinged with an impure pink.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack~"

The sound of resistance shattering rang out, causing the cat mascot to suddenly reveal itself, looking at An Le who appeared unchanged.

Yet, with the subtle change in the surrounding atmosphere, the An Le Yan Huan saw seemed to undergo a drastic transformation.

Her curves gradually became graceful, and every move carried an indescribable charm.

Her previously soft and delicate aura condensed, turning into the most trustworthy and dependable semblance in the world.

An Le, like a maternal goddess, made Yan Huan have the urge to adore and confide as soon as he laid eyes on her.

It's known that there are two things in this world that are most sinister.

One, is the zero-frame starting move.

The other, is overly long preparatory moves.

If Ye Shiyu was the former, the kind of terrifying leap-face reactions, then An Le was evidently the latter.
