"Ha... ha... ha..."

But facing the currently emotional Hakyu, Yan Huan didn't back down in the slightest.

Instead, she moved even closer to her, as if unafraid of death, and gently asked,

"... Are you angry, Sister Shiyu?"

This seemingly provocative remark caused Ye Shiyu to react instantly and quickly said,

"Of course! Xiao Huan clearly said before that it would be just the two of us..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu frowned as she looked up, but the next second she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

For no other reason, because at this moment, Ye Shiyu suddenly noticed...

Xiao Huan was... smiling?

Why?

Could it be that seeing her angry and flustered like that made him happy?

"..."

There was no answer.

Just facing Ye Shiyu's confusion, Yan Huan's mask still maintained a smile.

"So, Sister Shiyu, you do know how to express your emotions..."

"Eh?"

Yan Huan blinked and sighed, explaining helplessly,

"Earlier when you were in the hospital, didn't you say you couldn't feel any emotions?

"I always wanted to say that Aunt Ye mentioned it many times...

"That you basically don't have any close friends at school and aren't interested in anything other than dolls. No wonder you don't have emotions.

"So I thought, when Bai Yi was taking care of you when you were in a bad state, wasn't that a good opportunity to become friends?"

Ye Shiyu's eyes widened, seeming to realize Yan Huan's "good intentions."

So, Xiao Huan actually wanted her to get along with Bai Yi and make a new friend?

Make friends with Bai Yi?

Ye Shiyu instinctively touched the tip of her nose, as if fearing it might turn red.

She shook her head wildly inside, but outwardly she didn't want to reject Xiao Huan's kindness, so she awkwardly changed the topic,

"Well... but Xiao Huan shouldn't have used... this method to annoy me..."

Yan Huan smiled wryly and continued,

"Initially, I didn't intend to annoy you, Sister Shiyu. I just thought of helping you make a new friend, to regain more emotions.

"But... who asked you to always have that emotionless look, quite eerie. Suddenly I had a whimsical idea to tease you a bit..."

Saying so, Yan Huan glanced again at Ye Shiyu's deep eyes.

"And Sister Shiyu, to be honest: if I didn't annoy you, forcing you to speak out your feelings, what would you have done?"

What would I do?

I would definitely hypnotize Bai Yi, give her some good fruit to eat.

Then, probably...

Won't hypnotize Xiao Huan... right?

At this moment, Ye Shiyu couldn't help but ask herself.

The more she questioned herself, the more she seemed to repeat like self-suggestion.

Yes, I won't hypnotize Xiao Huan...

I've already turned over a new leaf!

Luckily, Yan Huan didn't expect her to give an answer.

Or rather, even if she said it, Yan Huan didn't plan to believe it.

Ye Shiyu's lips, are deceiving ghosts!

Hmm...

But it seems like now, wearing a mask to use rhetoric and guide Ye Shiyu, I'm not much different?

Thinking so, Yan Huan didn't wait for Ye Shiyu to answer before speaking again to capture her attention,

"Sister Shiyu, you definitely would only keep such unhappiness inside, digesting it yourself. Over time you'd only become numb, or... solve problems in more extreme ways?"

Ye Shiyu was slightly stunned, looking up at Yan Huan.

But seeing him speak, suddenly his gaze appeared somewhat empty.

It seemed as if his body was recalling some unwanted terror, beginning to tremble slightly.

Not good!

Seeing this, Ye Shiyu quickly interrupted,

"I... I understand..."

Sure enough, after she spoke, Xiao Huan's gaze immediately focused, as if escaping from the swamp of memory correction.

He smiled bemusedly, then looked at Ye Shiyu and earnestly said,

"Sister Shiyu, I hope that in the future, you can use words to describe your feelings more, instead of bottling them up inside, letting them ferment.

"If you're too shy to tell others, then talk to Aunt Ye... talk to me, let me understand what you think...

"After all, both Aunt Ye and I care about you and hope you get better."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu was slightly stunned, instinctively nodding in agreement,

"Hmm..."

But in reality, she still felt a bit anxious and uncertain.

Speaking of which, Xiao Huan indeed didn't say this was a date before.

He just said he wanted to go out and play with her.

Xiao Huan, is it because of his mother, seeing her as family, and thus caring about her, or...

Is it like her feelings for him, based on romantic affection?

Unknown...

Don't know at all...

Xiao Huan's thoughts seem so complex, can't guess at all.

What exactly is he thinking, why does he do this...

Don't understand.

"..."

Looking at Ye Shiyu becoming quiet, Yan Huan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Now, this bomb is finally defused.

At least, both sides can explain things on the surface.

But you must know, Yan Huan is here for more than just defusing bombs.

"... Sister Shiyu, are you still angry?"

Xiao Huan's voice came, slightly dispelling the fog in Ye Shiyu's heart.

She slowly lifted her head to look at the helpless Xiao Huan in front of her.

Used to silence, but suddenly remembered Xiao Huan's words from earlier.

Xiao Huan hoped she would express her feelings with words.

Then now...

Should she open her mouth and ask?

"Xiao Huan, what exactly is your feeling towards me?"

But at this moment, the usually decisive and skillful Ye Shiyu felt as if her mouth was blocked, too shy to speak.
