"To love you, love you, love you just like this, always wanting to be together."
In the villa across the way, Bai Yi's singing continued.
Perhaps because she had just moved into a new ho to live alone, Bai Yi was letting herself go a bit. It was unclear what she was doing, but she had inexplicably started a dley of songs.
She sang one song for a mont, then switched to another.
Her voice drifted along with the light into the villa opposite, gradually illuminating Ye Shiyu's slightly flushed face in front of Yan Huan.
Perhaps because Ye Shiyu's gaze was so direct, and her previous question still lingered like lingering echoes, Yan Huan subconsciously turned his head toward the direction of the singing.
"Bai Yi, she..."
"Rustle."
However, just as he opened his mouth, Yan Huan felt the toes in his palm give a light scratch.
That faint ticklish sensation pulled Yan Huan's attention back, making him look at Ye Shiyu again as she spoke.
"Irrelevant."
"Huh?"
"Let's continue. Truth or Dare. It is your turn to answer, Xiao Huan."
"..."
Bai Yi's singing was indeed pleasant, but Yan Huan's attention was unavoidably occupied by the pair of feet held tightly in his hands.
Therefore, Yan Huan could only answer.
"Yeah."
Hearing Yan Huan's response, Ye Shiyu pursed her lips and whispered.
"I see."
"Yan Huan, I told you, do not let her keep touching the sa spot, ow! I... I am going to..."
At that mont, right by his ear, Myau-chan shrieked again, completely lacking an understanding of romance.
Yan Huan turned his head with a dark expression, only to see Myau-chan hanging upside down again, its feline face swaying from side to side.
Turning to look at Ye Shiyu's phone, the Yezi AI inside was brandishing a whip that cracked with a whooshing sound, seemingly lashing at sothing.
"..."
Yan Huan was speechless, but he could only reluctantly and gently release Ye Shiyu's feet from the palm of his hand.
"Rustle."
However, as they slipped from Yan Huan's grasp, Ye Shiyu's feet did not drop directly to the floor.
Her left leg nimbly stepped onto the top of Yan Huan's foot, while her right leg continuously rubbed against his thigh, slowing her descent.
At the sa ti, this brought a continuous stream of ticklishness.
"Then it is your turn to ask , Xiao Huan."
Yan Huan rubbed his fingers together, cald himself down, and asked softly.
"Sister Shiyu, what did you do after leaving ho today?"
"..."
Hearing this, Ye Shiyu's movent, which had been gently sliding along Yan Huan's calf, suddenly stopped.
Soon after, Ye Shiyu lowered her eyes and spoke.
"Give
another dare, Yezi."
Sure enough, Yan Huan knew he would not get an answer out of her, but it did not matter.
Through Ye Shiyu's reaction, he was convinced that she was preparing for the thing she "needed to do".
She had said she was going to work at the company, which ant whatever she was planning was related to Ye International?
However, he could not rule out the possibility that she was lying to him just to find an excuse to leave.
"Understood. Your dare is: sit in the other person's arms for five minutes, and during this ti, feed them sothing to eat."
"!!"
Seeing this, Yan Huan could not help but widen his eyes again.
As for Ye Shiyu, she bit her lip, her face turning even rosier.
Only Myau-chan's eyes went wide with panic. The black cat frantically shook its head while smacking Yan Huan with its paw pads.
"D-Do not co over here, ow!!"
Better to just ignore that useless black cat.
The atmosphere between the two grew increasingly silent amidst the ambiguity.
Fortunately, there was always a good person around who refused to let the atmosphere stay quiet.
"Want to hold your hand, want to kiss your forehead, I have been silent for too long..."
Bai Yi started singing again.
"..."
Her singing seed to awaken Ye Shiyu. Lowering her head, she pressed her hands against the table and said sowhat shyly.
"Otherwise, Xiao Huan... let's stop playing this ga here."
'Hey, hey, hey!'
'I haven't even found out what you're planning to do yet?!'
Yan Huan had plotted all day, and it certainly was not simply to play with Ye Shiyu's feet.
'If we stop here, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?'
"Could it be... Sister Shiyu wants to cheat?"
Facing Yan Huan's words, Ye Shiyu's face flushed an even deeper shade of red.
Then, she shook her head and slowly stood up.
"Gulp."
Sensing her walking toward him, Yan Huan's muscles tensed.
Imdiately after, Ye Shiyu gently placed her hands on his shoulders and then wrapped her arms around him.
Carrying a crisp floral scent, she slowly sat down.
"Creak."
Feeling her weight press down onto his thighs, Yan Huan subconsciously leaned back a little, causing the chair beneath him to scrape noisily against the floor.
The mont the sound rang out, he didn't dare to retreat any further, only able to brace himself in place.
But, this posture...
"..."
Following the angle of the light, a semicircular shadow gradually appeared over Yan Huan's face.
Above the shadow, Ye Shiyu's gaze darted away, leaving him to only see her expressionless, pink-tinted side profile.
By his side, her long, slender legs were slightly lifted and uneven, resembling the posture of being carried like a princess.
"I will feed you, Xiao Huan, and then ask you the next question at the sa ti."
"Feed?"
Yan Huan finally snapped out of his daze. Facing the semicircular shadow right in front of him, he was montarily struck with overwhelming shock.
But as Ye Shiyu raised the spoon, he regained his senses completely.
'So she ant that kind of feeding...'
"Index Finger, you bastard!! I... I will not spit out anything, ow!!! Bring it on, ow!!"
Off to the side, as Ye Shiyu fully settled onto Yan Huan's lap, Myau-chan instantly convulsed as if being electrocuted.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
"..."
Hearing Myau-chan's tragic screams, Yan Huan felt a bit of sympathy, but in the next second, his chin was gently tilted upward.
Raising his eyes, he saw Ye Shiyu with a flushed face, holding a soup spoon and softly blowing on the scalding chicken broth inside it.
"Say 'ah'... open your mouth."
Then, looking at Yan Huan, she spoke with a trembling voice.
"Ahhhhhh!! Yan Huan, save , ow!!!"
'Myau-chan? (Indifference)'
Yan Huan gently opened his mouth and swallowed the chicken broth from the spoon.
And Ye Shiyu's question swiftly followed.
"Xiao Huan, are you a scumbag man?"
"Cough, cough, cough!!"
Upon hearing this question, Yan Huan completely lost his composure. The chicken broth he was about to swallow caught in his throat, nearly causing him to choke it back up.
Even so, he started coughing violently.
"A-Are you alright, Xiao Huan?"
Ye Shiyu gently patted Yan Huan's shoulder, but Yan Huan still could not hold back and looked up to ask.
"I... I want to ask, what is your definition of that?"
"...Having a foot in multiple boats, sleeping with several girls at the sa ti."
The more he listened, the more Yan Huan felt a guilty conscience.
Because, according to Ye Shiyu's definition...
He probably, perhaps, possibly, most likely...
Was a scumbag man?
'Can I just answer: it was only to resolve the Modifier?'
"..."
Seeing Yan Huan fall silent, the faint red on Ye Shiyu's face gradually faded to a pale white.
Although she still maintained an expressionless face, a hint of confusion crept in.
"Could it be that Xiao Huan is just that... hungry and thirsty?"
"Of course not!"
Hearing those words, Yan Huan imdiately protested.
However, upon hearing his denial, Ye Shiyu gently shifted her weight on Yan Huan's thighs.
Instantly, her eyes widened, and her entire body gave a slight tremble.
She paused for a second, averted her gaze, and whispered softly with a slightly flushed but otherwise expressionless face.
"...You definitely are."
"..."
'This is all to bla on the Fertility attribute Myau-chan added.'
Looking as stoic as a Buddha statue, Yan Huan silently proclaid this universal truth.
"Yan Huan!! I... I cannot hold on much longer, ow!!!"
However, being unilaterally pumled by the Index Finger, Myau-chan was no longer in any condition to take the bla for such things.
"But Xiao Huan... although I snuck into your room that night, at the ti, I also did it with the mindset that I 'would take responsibility for Xiao Huan'..."
'Ye Shiyu, do you even hear what you're saying?'
'Who asked you to take responsibility?'
'Don't tell
I'm supposed to thank you?'
Listening to her words, Yan Huan was completely dumbfounded, entirely failing to comprehend Ye Shiyu's logic.
"But what about you, Xiao Huan... will you take responsibility for them?"
"I will."
Yan Huan was convinced as he said these words.
It could be said that on that night in the Sakura Country, when he slept with An Le yet refused to give up on Spencer and Sakuramiya Hitomi, he had already made up his mind.
He would definitely take responsibility.
But...
eting Yan Huan's words, Ye Shiyu looked down from her vantage point and shook her head.
"No... you won't."
"I will."
"You won't."
"...Then, Sister Shiyu, how do you know I won't?"
"..."
Ye Shiyu suddenly fell silent, and Yan Huan paused for a mont, as if realizing sothing.
"Sister Shiyu, did you... see sothing?"
"..."
Seeing that she did not answer, Yan Huan took a deep breath but still could not help but speak.
"No matter what you saw, I am convinced that it's fake."
"It is not fake..."
"It is."
"No..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop right there. Is it fun repeating yourself like a broken record, Sister Shiyu?" Yan Huan's face darkened. He quickly straightened his back, wrapping one arm around her back while his other hand gripped the shoulder of the expressionless Ye Shiyu in front of him, shaking her from side to side in an attempt to break her loop.
"..."
The effect was remarkably significant; she finally stopped talking.
With the black hair on her forehead swaying slightly from the motion, Ye Shiyu continued to stare at him blankly, looking exactly like one of her dolls.
Seeing that Ye Shiyu had finally stopped echoing her words, Yan Huan breathed a sigh of relief and ceased shaking her.
And at this mont, as Yan Huan fully regained his senses, he suddenly realized...
Her face was only a hair's breadth away from his own.
Yan Huan could clearly see every tiny crease on her lips.
"It just isn't fake."
However, just as Yan Huan was observing her from such a close distance...
She simply blinked and continued to say that with an expressionless face.
"..."
Yan Huan's eyes widened as he t the gaze of the expressionless Ye Shiyu.
A few seconds later, he lowered his head powerlessly.
Clearly, he was completely out of options.
Left with no other choice, Yan Huan sighed and said.
"I have proof to show that it is fake, because the Battle Defeat CG said you would use hypnosis on , but you never did...
"If Sister Shiyu thinks it's real, then where is the proof?"
Seeing Yan Huan speak like this, Ye Shiyu pondered for a mont before slowly standing up.
"Clack."
"I have sothing to show you, Xiao Huan."
Yan Huan looked up, but he did not see Ye Shiyu.
He only saw Myau-chan, beaten black and blue, staring at him resentfully.
"..."
One person and one cat stared at each other for a second. Yan Huan glanced at its tightly clenched jaw; it had not spat out a single Fragnt.
Promptly, Yan Huan patted its head and took the initiative to say.
"I forgive you for hiding a secret stash of money behind my back..."
"ow?!"
Upon hearing this, Myau-chan, who had been preparing to bla Yan Huan, imdiately flew into a rage, frantically pounding Yan Huan's chest with its paw pads.
At the sa ti, Ye Shiyu picked up her phone, tapped the screen a few tis, and handed it to Yan Huan.
"This is..."
Displayed on the phone screen was shockingly a report from the Big Stone tabloid.
On it was the gossip news article about Bai Yi and himself.
"...What about it?"
"..."
Ye Shiyu did not speak; she simply tapped on "Photo Information".
Then, she pointed to the tistamp on it.
Yan Huan looked down, only to see that the ti was actually several days before the newspaper was published!
In other words, it was from before he even helped Bai Yi resolve the issue with Lemon!!
Yan Huan furrowed his brows, knowing in his heart that Ye Shiyu would not forge sothing like this.
That ant the Index Finger really had generated a prediction three days ago...
"This photo is real... but there is more, Xiao Huan."
Ye Shiyu expressionlessly extended her index finger and swiped the screen.
The next photo showed a scene on a large bed, where he was embracing won on both his left and right.
One of them was Sakuramiya Hitomi, while the other person was blurry and indistinct.
But just seeing that scene caused Yan Huan's pupils to shrink involuntarily.
"..."
After all, while others might not know what had happened, how could he not know?
This...
This was clearly the scene from the night Sakuramiya Hitomi stayed over!
Even the floor bedding they were covered in was exactly the sa!
Ye Shiyu tapped on the tistamp, which also showed it had been saved several days before the incident actually took place.
"Is this... real?"
"..."
Yan Huan did not speak, only staring at Ye Shiyu.
But Ye Shiyu seed to have already read the answer in Yan Huan's eyes.
As they looked at each other, the atmosphere fell silent once again, tainted with a hint of danger.
"How much further until I enter your heart, how much longer until I can get close to you..."
Fortunately, Bai Yi's singing from the distant villa rang out again like a large bell, piercing through the delicate atmosphere between them.
Ye Shiyu pursed her lips and returned to her senses. She simply pointed at the blurry figure of An Le and spoke.
"I know what Xiao Huan ans, and I also know that this kind of prediction is currently not accurate.
"Xiao Huan's reason for thinking it is fake is likely because of this."
Hearing this, Yan Huan tidied up his clothes and asked in confusion.
"Currently?"
"Yes, currently... but very soon, it will beco incredibly precise."
This sentence sent a chill through Yan Huan's heart.
He realized it almost instantly:
Ye Shiyu had still exposed a flaw after all.
The thing she was planning to do was absolutely related to this!
"Let's end the dinner and the ga here, Xiao Huan. I will go take a shower. I can wash the dishes later."
Ye Shiyu slowly turned around, gripping her phone, and said softly.
In reality, their previous words still reflected the various unresolved conflicts between them.
Regarding the past: her using hypnosis on him, his lies to her.
Regarding their feelings: her rejection of other girls versus his acceptance of other girls.
Regarding the current situation: her desire to continue using the Modifier versus his wish to persuade her to stop using the Modifier.
But...
"..."
Ye Shiyu pursed her lips, but out of the corner of her eye, she still could not help but glance back at Yan Huan.
She was certain...
'Xiao Huan isn't trying to run away right now.'
'Moreover, Xiao Huan seems... not to despise
like he said that night.'
"Step, step."
Thinking this, she still slowly turned around and walked upstairs, planning to take a shower.
Watching her leave, Yan Huan did not forget to shift his gaze.
[Congratulations, the ga has ended!]
[You have obtained a reward: Resistance Penetration Enhanced. 100% success rate for Hypnosis on the Opposite Gender.]
"Click."
Seeing this, Ye Shiyu's footsteps seed to quicken a little, completely unaware of any abnormalities.
anwhile, Yan Huan massaged the space between his eyebrows, falling deep into thought.
'During the conversation just now, Ye Shiyu absolutely exposed a flaw...'
'What exactly is she planning to do...'
'Think carefully, Yan Huan...'
"..."
Yan Huan's thoughts raced wildly. He went over the clues from the dinner table, trying to figure out what she was trying to do.
In his peripheral vision, the black and blue Myau-chan was still licking its fur pitifully.
Looking at it, Yan Huan was suddenly reminded of the Yezi AI rubbing its fists in anticipation on Ye Shiyu's phone screen.
'The Index Finger...'
'The Yezi AI?'
'And then...'
Yan Huan recalled when she opened the "Photo Information" on those two prediction images.
Inside, aside from the saved tistamp, there was also the saved file path...
The saved folder was... Yezi AI.
'The Index Finger's ability is no longer as simple as a Battle Defeat CG chanism triggered at critical monts.'
'This ability is displayed through the Yezi AI.'
'And Ye Shiyu also realized that the current Index Finger predictions are not accurate, but in the future...'
"!!"
As he kept thinking, Yan Huan seed to realize sothing.
He hurriedly stood up and turned around to grab his phone and computer.
After unlocking the computer in the dimness, he stared at a certain news headline on the screen, his heartbeat quickening...
"Ye International's self-developed Yezi AI has surpassed 5 million downloads! A coverage rate exceeding 80%!"
"Linn's most popular APP, selling well overseas."
"Lover, partner, friend, family, teacher... whatever you desire, there is nothing it cannot do. Customized AI, only on Yezi."
He seed to know...
What Ye Shiyu was planning to do.
"Ye International's self-developed Yezi AI has surpassed 5 million downloads! A coverage rate exceeding 80%!"
"Rumble, rumble..."
That night, in Linn.
On the subway, all the advertisents around were about the hottest APP in all of Linn recently.
Tong Yingying held her phone, glancing at the very sa advertisent Yan Huan had just seen, and frowned.
At this mont, the chat logs in plane showed bad news.
An Le: "I am sorry. Even though I made an excuse and did not say I was going to Yan Huan's house, I was still grounded by my father."
"Can Vice-President Sakuramiya open a Jiejiè to co pick
up or sothing?"
Sakuramiya Hitomi: "Things on my end are also..."
"When my older brother was browsing Yezi AI, he got pushed that gossip article about Bai Yi. And now he is very angry...
"Although I can still sneak out, it might take so ti."
'Wait, wait, wait, by the ti you're done, it'll be too late!'
Seeing this, Tong Yingying's face was full of speechlessness.
'This group of people with Modifiers, still dilly-dallying here and there. If I had such badass abilities, why would I care about any of this?'
But there was nothing she could do now. The only ones capable of taking action were her and that person nad Spencer.
'Oh, wait...'
'There's one more!'
Tong Yingying took a deep breath, quickly lifted her fingers, and typed on plane:
"Through a friend, I have found out where Bai Yi is."
"Really?!"
"That's wonderful..."
Tong Yingying's fingers moved rapidly as she continued typing.
"I will go find her tomorrow, and I have also instructed people to focus on finding Yan Huan's whereabouts.
"So there is no rush. By the ti there's news, you guys should have no more worries on your end.
"Then we will go rescue Yan Huan together!"
At that mont, the subway happened to rush out of the tunnel, entering the overpass and passing through the bustling and prosperous comrcial district.
Below, it was bustling with people and heavy traffic.
Most people could not tear themselves away from their phones, and they were all currently looking at their screens.
Smiles overflowed on their faces, radiating brightness...
At the sa ti, they were all engrossed in conversing with the custom AI in their phones.
"Your exclusive AI butler, Yezi...
"Very happy to serve you~"
