Danger, danger, danger!
Having his hand suddenly grabbed by Ye Shiyu, Yan Huan's brain almost crashed.
At this mont, he truly felt like he had tied himself up in his own cocoon. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have just let her absorb a little theoretical knowledge.
That way, at most, there would only be so risks later on.
Anyway, Ye Shiyu wouldn't be weighed down by having too many skills. Whether she learned a bit more or a bit less, he could just consider her hardworking.
But now...
Wasn't this seeking his own doom and getting executed on the spot?
"Sister Shiyu, actually, what I ant wasn't this kind, but the one-on-one Pure Love..."
'Whatever, I still need to struggle a bit!'
Yan Huan spoke sowhat awkwardly, planning to shift all the bla onto the Boss.
At the sa ti, he applied a little force, trying to pull his palm back from her grasp.
"Clasp!"
As a result, as soon as Yan Huan retreated, Ye Shiyu advanced. She went from grabbing his wrist to firmly grasping his four fingers, excluding the thumb.
"..."
Yan Huan stared blankly, raising his eyes to look at Ye Shiyu. He watched as she casually pulled out a Doujinshi titled "Hypnosis: My Beloved Sworn Older Sister," breathing heavily and staring straight at him.
"It... it is a one-on-one Pure Love story..."
Yan Huan glanced at the cover, which featured a black-haired Sworn Older Sister wearing a wedding dress being carried In One's Arms like a Princess by the male lead, and realized it actually was!
'Speaking of which, how did you manage to accurately find this Doujinshi with a Hypnosis the among a whole pile of books?'
Yan Huan actually admired her a little for that.
"..."
"Moreover, it seems to have a very sweet and happy ending..."
Ye Shiyu glanced at the front and back of this Doujinshi, showing a faint smile as she said this to Yan Huan.
'Hey, hey, hey, Ye Shiyu, do not use things from a Doujinshi as reference Experience, and then show that kind of eerie 'I knew my predecessors would succeed' smile!!'
'Can you no longer tell the difference between fantasy and Reality?'
Yan Huan was startled by her sudden smile, but he still ca up with a way to deal with it.
Imdiately after, he put on an act, reaching out his right hand to take the Doujinshi she was holding.
He flipped through it a few tis and then showed a smile.
"Ah, it really is like that. This ending is very sweet..."
"Right, Xiao..."
Ye Shiyu's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to speak, Yan Huan smiled faintly and said to her,
"The most comndable thing is that the Female Lead who obtained Hypnosis in the story did not abuse it. Instead, she used it to help her Younger brother solve his bullying issues.
"Co to think of it, if she forcefully used Hypnosis, it would turn straight into a disgusting Horror Film.
"In this regard, the author handled it very well~"
'Disgusting...'
'Horror Film...'
Ye Shiyu's eyes widened. She stared blankly at Yan Huan, then glanced at the wedding dress cover in her hand.
Imdiately after, she suddenly blinked and looked away with a Guilty Conscience.
"..."
Right in front of her, Yan Huan seed oblivious to her Guilty Conscience. Instead, his face full of smiles, he suddenly leaned close and asked faintly in her ear, like a ghost demanding her life.
"...You agree, right, Sister Shiyu?"
Upon hearing Yan Huan's voice, Ye Shiyu's shoulders could not help but tremble slightly.
"Mm..."
Her Expressionless face was rather hard to maintain as a sparkling drop of sweat ford on her forehead. With an even stronger Guilty Conscience, she cast a glance at Yan Huan, quickly looked away, and whispered,
"Y-yes..."
Looking at her crumbling Expressionless face at this mont, Yan Huan almost couldn't hold back his smile.
'Hehehe~'
'Look at you, Ye Shiyu. Aside from those ssed-up Hypnosis Doujinshi, you haven't read anything else at all.'
'You just grabbed it when you saw the keyword 'Hypnosis'. You didn't expect that the Hypnosis in Pure Love works vastly different from the ssed-up ones!'
'Perfect, this gives
a chance to secretly condemn what you did before without managing to Expose myself.'
'You tied yourself up in your own cocoon!'
"Since that's the case..."
Looking at Ye Shiyu, who was beginning To sweat like rain right in front of him, Yan Huan smiled faintly and tried to pull his hand back again.
"Clasp!"
But in the next second, just as he managed To Detach his fingers, Ye Shiyu's icy cold hands acted as if they had auto-loot enabled, once again grabbing onto Yan Huan's...
Middle Finger.
"..."
Yan Huan looked down and saw his fingertip turning slightly white from her grip, causing his heart to skip a beat.
'No way, no way, you wouldn't be a sore loser and actually try to use Hypnosis on , right?'
This ti, it was Yan Huan's turn to sweat.
Moreover, he also discovered sothing terrifying.
Because he was Lowering One's Head at this mont, his Field of Vision temporarily left Ye Shiyu.
'Like this, if I raise my head again, would I be rewarded with a Zero-Fra Activation?'
"Sister Shiyu?"
Yan Huan did not dare to look up, rely voicing his sudden confusion.
He was just like a pitiful explorer standing at the edge of a bottomless abyss, throwing a stone to check how deep the cavern ahead was.
"Thump!"
Only this ti, the cavern was not silent, lacking an echo for a long ti.
Instead, a sound echoed back imdiately.
"Xiao Huan..."
Her voice was soft and gentle, like spring willow branches brushing against the face, causing Yan Huan to freeze slightly.
'This doesn't sound like Ye Shiyu's usual bone-chilling voice anymore...'
'Is she forcing a cute voice?'
'She even knows how to force a cute voice?'
At this mont, the curiosity in Yan Huan's heart temporarily overwheld his Survival Instinct.
Not knowing what possessed him, he still raised his head and looked at Ye Shiyu.
But right in front of him, Ye Shiyu was holding up the open Doujinshi with her other hand, blocking her face.
'Why is she covering her face?'
Just as Yan Huan had this doubtful thought, Ye Shiyu's hand trembled, and she shifted the Doujinshi away a bit.
Then, just like lifting a bridal veil, she revealed her cheeks, which for the first ti ever were tinted with a cherry-blossom pink.
Beneath long eyelashes, a pair of watery eyes, tinged with timidity and hesitation, looked at Yan Huan evasively.
Although she still maintained an Expressionless face, her evasive gaze and Slightly Flushed Face combined with that Expressionless face was actually...
quite charming in its own unique way.
"If... if it were a Sworn Older Sister like this, would Xiao Huan f-fall in love with her?"
"Huh?"
Yan Huan had been busy admiring her rosy cheeks, so when she spoke, his attention lagged behind.
His request for her to repeat herself made Ye Shiyu even more embarrassed.
But she still, she still firmly asked that sentence,
"I an love between a man and a woman..."
"..."
"W-would you love her?"
Yan Huan widened his eyes, looking at Ye Shiyu, who was gripping the Doujinshi and hiding most of her face.
At this mont, the incredibly beautiful Female Lead—the Sworn Older Sister in a white wedding dress on the cover—seed to gradually overlap with Ye Shiyu's face, making him think of sothing unknown as his throat bobbed slightly.
'Am I crazy?'
'This girl's quiet and clumsy appearance...'
'is inexplicably a bit cute today.'
As Yan Huan thought this, his fingers couldn't help but twitch slightly.
It was also at this mont that he suddenly realized his Middle Finger, firmly held by Ye Shiyu, had grown warm at so point, no longer feeling cold.
Thus, he also realized the straightforwardness hidden beneath her subtle words.
"Yeah."
After a long silence, Yan Huan finally smiled and let out a solemn "Yeah."
"..."
Receiving Yan Huan's affirmation, her eyes widened bit by bit, then gradually filled with moisture, becoming wet with tears.
Then, as if to prevent the moisture from spilling from her eyes, she shyly raised the Doujinshi a bit higher, blocking her eyes like a dam.
But the height of the Doujinshi was naturally limited. By covering her eyes, she ended up revealing her lips, which were coated with Lipstick.
Yan Huan could see that her lips were trembling slightly, as if she was nervous to the limit, yet also joyful to the extre.
She pursed her lips, trying to stop them from showing her excitent.
But she couldn't stop it, and it turned into a gentle bite, almost like a punishnt.
Only when her lips felt pain did they gradually calm down.
Her beautiful mouth had cald down, but the words that ca out trembled again,
"I... I will always rember this answer, Xiao Huan..."
"..."
'Suddenly, I kind of want to eat cherries.'
Struggling to shift his gaze away from the red lips beneath the Doujinshi, Yan Huan thought with an Unrestrained Imagination.
In the next second, that Poster suddenly appeared before his eyes once more.
The image on that Poster instantly changed, completely overlapping with the wedding dress scene from the Doujinshi she had casually pulled out.
"Hypnosis: My Beloved Sworn Older Sister"
[Currently added tags: Hypnosis, Delusion, Self-disciplining, Turning Over a New Leaf, Pure Love, Freshness]
[Current overall alignnt: An incomplete Lawful Good state]
[A seed of goodness has been planted in her heart. Nourished by hope and love, perhaps one day it will break through the soil and grow into a towering tree.] [Of course, you can also try watering it with so malicious intent. It might just grow into even more interesting results~]
'It was actually added!'
Looking at that Glimring Golden Label, Yan Huan couldn't help but be startled.
Then, he looked in surprise at Ye Shiyu, who was still gripping his finger in front of him.
"Wow, okay, I'm done drawing! Yan Huan, co over and take a look!"
Just at this mont, Spencer's happy voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
Yan Huan looked over. An Le was nowhere to be seen, and only Spencer was standing among several girls, holding up a paintbrush and looking very delighted.
He was Unable to Help but Laugh, then looked back at Ye Shiyu.
"Sister Shiyu, I'll go over and take a look."
He spoke softly and finally tried to pull his hand away.
"Ah..."
This ti, she finally didn't reach out to chase after him and grab him anywhere else, allowing Yan Huan To Stand Up smoothly.
"..."
Crouching on the ground, she secretly peeked at Yan Huan through the Doujinshi again.
Only then did she also straighten her clothes, To Stand Up, and follow Yan Huan out from behind the bookshelf.
However, she still tightly clutched that Doujinshi in her hand.
"Tap~"
Just as she was about to walk over, she heard a light patting sound on her shoulder.
Ye Shiyu stiffened all over. Turning her head, she saw Bai Yi frowning, her face full of suspicion as she sniffed around her.
Sniff, sniff, sniff~
"...Are you a dog?"
Ye Shiyu's mouth twitched slightly. All the comfort and shyness on her face faded away, reverting to her version 1.0 Expressionless face.
Looking ahead, Yan Huan had already walked into the crowd and started chatting with everyone.
Ye Shiyu had no intention of going over to join the fun, so she simply stayed where she was.
Compared to the others, she really did feel a bit more comfortable staying next to this girl, Bai Yi.
"Pah, you're the dog!"
Bai Yi rolled her eyes at her from behind her Sunglasses, then muttered softly,
"Why is there a weird sll on you? Did you sweat?"
Ye Shiyu froze slightly. Then, her eyes dodged her scrutinizing gaze in a panic, and she said softly,
"...And you still say you aren't a dog."
"Hehe~"
"What about you, where did you go just now?"
Hearing this, Bai Yi stiffened slightly.
She quietly shifted the Shopping Bag containing the bouquet behind her back a bit, explaining with a Slightly Flushed Face,
"I went out for a stroll... Unlike a Pervert like you, who knows all this stuff like the back of her hand...
"I feel uncomfortable all over staying here, especially in front of Yan Huan and everything... so I went out to buy so things."
'This girl is actually quite pure.'
Ye Shiyu thought so.
"You were gone for so long, and Xiao Huan didn't even notice at all, so... there's no need to mind."
Hearing Ye Shiyu's rciless remark, Bai Yi shot her a resentful glare.
"...Hiss, but Ye Shiyu, you actually didn't react when I called you a Pervert?"
Bai Yi glanced at Ye Shiyu in disbelief, which caused Ye Shiyu, who was in a relatively good mood, to freeze slightly.
She had just received confirmation that Xiao Huan saw her as "a woman" rather than an "Older Sister," so her mood was naturally quite good.
Ye Shiyu firmly believed that as long as she stayed disciplined, worked hard, and beca like the Sworn Older Sister in that work, she would definitely be able to have a happy ending with Xiao Huan...
rather than relying on Hypnosis.
"Hehe~"
Although she was joyful in her heart, on the surface, she still displayed her standard, ice-cold Expressionless face.
"Hey, hey, hey, that hits the spot."
Bai Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, giving Ye Shiyu a thumbs up.
'That's right, just keep showing that scary and chilling expression.'
'Just continue maintaining your terrifying Pervert Persona from before. I'll handle the moves and securing the happy ending~'
"But, I was gone for so long. Did Yan Huan really... really not ask where I was?"
Before she even finished her sentence, Ye Shiyu replied with an Expressionless face,
"He didn't."
Bai Yi puffed her cheeks slightly and looked over at Yan Huan, who was talking with Spencer, thinking to herself that he was indeed giving her the cold shoulder!
"...Say, it looks like this event will keep going for a while. You keep browsing; I'm going for another stroll."
Bai Yi showed a sweet smile as she said this.
'Fooled you, idiot.'
'I'm going to secretly make my move now~'
Bai Yi tightened her grip on the bouquet in her hand, thinking with such dark sches.
"Mhm."
And Ye Shiyu was eager for her to leave quickly. After all, she was still holding a "divine technique" in her hands.
She believed that as long as she fully devoted herself to cultivating it to mastery, she could sweep through the "martial arts world"!
Looking at the Doujinshi in her hand, a deeply scheming glint, rivaling Bai Yi's, surged deep within Ye Shiyu's eyes.
One could only say that they both had bright futures ahead.
Ye Shiyu turned her head, planning to carefully comprehend the profound "Sworn Older Sister Principles" within the Doujinshi.
anwhile, Bai Yi carried the bouquet, acting Sneaky and Suspicious, dodging and hiding among the bookshelves as she approached Yan Huan's direction.
After hiding for a long ti, she realized that even if she stepped out openly, zero people would pay any attention to her.
'Forget about the others, but why is Yan Huan acting like this too!'
'I've been gone for so long, and now I'm back...'
'Are we really going to keep this cold war going?!'
"..."
Bai Yi leaned against the bookshelf, peeking at Yan Huan with eyes full of Resentnt.
She watched as he exchanged a few words with the female artist nad Miyake Fufu, then turned to look at the Deep and Secluded Corridor in the Bookstore, leading to who knows where.
He smiled and nodded at the others, then turned and walked toward the empty Corridor.
'Is he going to the Restroom?'
'A perfect opportunity!'
Bai Yi's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly followed him in a Sneaky and Suspicious manner.
Still, even without activating Indifference, not a single person noticed her.
She smoothly walked into the Corridor, watching Yan Huan turn, push open a door, and enter a Room.
Seeing this, Bai Yi quickly lifted her Dress and hurried over.
Glancing at the tightly shut, unmarked Room, she decided to wait here for Yan Huan to co out.
'Then I'll corner him, clear things up, end this cold war state, and give him the flowers!'
Clenching her Feminine Fists, Bai Yi thought this.
Imdiately after, she quickly turned around and took the flowers out of the bag.
She then put down the Shopping Bag, kicked it into a corner, took off her Sunglasses, pulled out a Vanity Mirror, and tidied up her hair and her Dress.
After finishing all this, she held the bouquet and leaned against the right side of the door.
'This way, as soon as Yan Huan cos out, he'll see the surprise I prepared!'
"Ah, Bai Yi, you..."
"Shh, don't speak, Yan Huan... What happened before was my fault. Can you forgive ?"
"What silly things are you saying? I never blad you at all. Rather, it's
who's been sulking and giving you the cold shoulder all this ti. This is my fault!"
Then, Yan Huan would take the beautiful flowers she prepared and solemnly invite her,
"For the End of Term High Table Dinner, may I invite the beautiful Miss Bai Yi to be my one and only dance partner?"
"..."
Thinking like this, Bai Yi was almost unable to control her smile.
"Click~"
'He's coming!'
Hearing the sound of the doorknob turning, Bai Yi imdiately turned to a 45-degree angle.
As the door was pushed open, she held the flowers in her left hand, while her right hand gently slipped into her long black hair, flicking it slightly.
At the sa ti, she imdiately turned around!
In an Instant, her long hair and the hem of her Dress fluttered—an absolutely perfect angle!
A breathtakingly gorgeous face, a sweet smile, and beautiful crescent-shaped eyes.
A bouquet of flowers, a head of long hair, a swishing Dress...
Bai Yi was extrely confident in her beauty. With such carefully designed movents and Atmosphere, any man would absolutely be Flipped for her!
After turning around like this, she gently flicked her hair and put on a pitiful and cute expression. At the sa ti, she raised her eyes, unleashing a finishing move with the glimr in her gaze!
"Shh, don't speak, Yan Huan... What happened before was my fault. Can you forgive ?"
"..."
In front of her, An Le—touching her lips, with a Slightly Flushed Face, and adjusting her clothes—had just walked out of the Room, only to blankly stare at Bai Yi's whole performance.
In the next second, all the expressions on her face gradually faded away, turning into a faint look of scrutiny.
"Bai Yi?"
The mont she spoke, her originally Soft and Sweet female voice reached Bai Yi's ears.
In an Instant, her body stiffened slightly.
She tremblingly opened her eyes and looked at An Le, whose eyes were vacant and radiated a heavy Sense of Oppression. The flowers in her hand instantly fell to the ground with a "Plop!"
In an instant, she began To sweat like rain from her forehead.
