Chapter 925 261: Only in This Place (Part 2)
Looking at the wine spreading like a spider web on the uneven ground, she couldn't help but murmur,
"No matter what, the beast that Yoshida Minami and I chased for so long got blown up with his old clients in Capital City by your firework...
"Now Yoshida Minami won't come back. She has already passed the Sakuragi Family's review and plans to stay beside that delicate young lady.
"I don't plan to go back either, but I must start a new life..."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes to Yan Huan and An Le beside him,
"For example, help you deal with those modifier hosts and save the world?"
Looking at Tong Yingying in front of him, Yan Huan handed the unopened cup of soy milk on the table to Tong Yingying and smiled,
"If you could quit smoking and drinking along the way, that would be perfect."
"Yes, yes, I'm quitting..."
Tong Yingying pushed with her finger, and the seal on the soy milk popped off like a toy.
At this moment, the boss came to settle the bill, and Tong Yingying slapped a few bills on the table, then turned and left,
"I'm leaving, retreat!"
Yan Huan glanced at An Le, saw her holding the bottle of soy milk, about to leave, and hurriedly drank it up quickly to avoid wasting it.
Afterward, he wiped his mouth and left the shop under Tong Yingying's gaze.
"Alright, it's so late now..."
Outside, the neon-lit city flashed with a few honks, and Tong Yingying stretched lazily and then looked at An Le inquisitively.
Feeling Tong Yingying's gaze, An Le smiled slightly and kindly said,
"Then I'll head back first, um... Xiao Huan, Tong Jie, see you later."
"Oh, quite sensible, knowing how to call me Jie now?"
Clearly, Tong Yingying liked hearing that.
Seeing An Le being so sensible with no over-the-top moves from start to finish, Tong Yingying finally eased some of her guard against An Le.
She turned to look at Yan Huan, seeming to sober up a bit from the evening breeze, reminiscing about the heartfelt conversation earlier, feeling slightly embarrassed,
"Alright, then... you should go back early to rest, you have school tomorrow..."
Yan Huan watched An Le leave, feeling his heart involuntarily pause for a moment.
And don't forget, An Le came to South District today to see him.
Yet, before they could be alone for a moment, they were interrupted by Tong Yingying.
But at this moment, he found it a bit difficult to ask An Le to stay, even if he opened his mouth now, Tong Yingying probably wouldn't let it drop easily.
Hiss...
Just started, the pain from standing on several boats might already begin to show signs.
As if reminding Yan Huan: This is just the beginning, more is yet to come.
But Yan Huan already made his choice, as he found it difficult to give up on just Spencer and An Le alone; naturally, he couldn't regret it now.
So, maybe later, he could invite An Le over to his place to make up for it?
Thinking along these lines, Yan Huan also nodded in agreement,
"Alright, Tong Jie."
The three parted ways at the entrance of the snack bar.
On the way, Yan Huan strolled to digest his food, contemplating specific measures,
"Start with Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu, sounds easy to say, but really quite tough to decide how to proceed..."
Upon hearing that, the cat on his shoulder revealed its form, pondering,
"Maybe find something to keep them busy, meow? Keep them occupied, and they won't have the energy to mess around."
"Hmm... I have to watch them closely, ensure they don't use the modifier during the process..."
While walking, Yan Huan suddenly had a spark of inspiration, came up with an idea,
"Right, the Spring Cultural Festival is coming soon. Each class will put together activities, and parents will come to visit.
"Maybe, it's a good opportunity..."
However, the cat wasn't following Yan Huan's train of thought, suddenly raised its paw to pat Yan Huan's cheek.
Yan Huan's thoughts were interrupted by the cat's paw, and when he looked up...
He saw An Le standing quietly there under his apartment building, just like this afternoon, almost giving him the illusion of a 'second refresh'.
If it weren't for her scent gently coming with the night breeze, Yan Huan might indeed doubt whether the person in front of him was just an illusion.
"An Le? You... didn't you leave?"
Yan Huan quickly walked towards An Le, approaching her.
Upon hearing him, An Le's face turned slightly red, feeling very embarrassed.
Only, above the embarrassment in her eyes, the mischievous glow was so evident,
"I... I tricked Tong Jie... I saw her go far, so I didn't go to the station but went around back..."
So sneaky?
Even capable of playing the reverse game?
The cat on his shoulder was greatly shocked.
"I see..."
Yan Huan was equally surprised, just looking straight at her adorable face in the dark, akin to a little pink flower.
After gazing for a long time, he finally managed to pull his gaze back, remembered to move his steps, and led her upstairs.
An Le followed beside Yan Huan with a slightly flushed face, her eyes reflecting hints of expectation and joy.
However, while walking, Yan Huan couldn't help but ask,
"It's late, won't your parents ask? Should we maybe..."
"No need, before coming in the afternoon, mom and dad already said they wouldn't be home tonight."
An Le waved her hand, indicating it was completely fine, but Yan Huan stopped his steps, frowned, and said,
"Not even going home?"
"Yeah..."
An Le pursed her lips and kindly explained,
"Mom is an elderly mother, so she needs more care. Now, mom and dad's full attention is on that younger brother and sister, so temporarily..."
Listening to her words, Yan Huan suddenly felt somewhat guilty.
