There was one and only one reason why she did this, and that was simply because she regarded Yan Huan, the child of her deceased best friend, as a relative and wanted to take care of him.

And to be more realistic, from what we have seen so far, it can be seen that Ye Lan is worth a lot of money. Anyone with a clue should kneel down and acknowledge her as his mother and become "Gao Qiqiang's Linmen branch leader."

But, Gul'dan, at what cost?

The uneasy premonition in his heart made Yan Huan's heart beat faster unconsciously, and he looked at Ye Shiyu who was eating dinner leisurely in front of him with a little lump in his throat.

His smile was hesitant, and he asked,

"Auntie, is this too sudden?"

"Is it not possible, Xiao Huan? Or do you find Auntie too difficult to get along with?"

Sensing the retreat in Yan Huan's words, Ye Lan's eyes lit up and gradually revealed the same radiance as when he first met Yan Huan today.

Her smiling mouth immediately pouted, and the corners of her mouth turned downwards as if there were weights hanging on them.

Don’t make that expression, Aunt Ye!

Yan Huan resisted the urge to look at Ye Lan, to avoid being affected by her expression, and chose to persuade her with emotion and reason.

".Auntie, you are so kind, why would I think that? I just feel it is inappropriate. Look, Auntie, I am a boy after all, and..."

Before he finished explaining his reasons, Ye Lan spoke first.

"Xiao Huan, you are not a stranger, and you don't have to worry at all. Aunt Chen lives on the first floor, my sister and I live on the third floor, and Xiao Huan, you can live on the second floor. Each room has a private bathroom and is very soundproof. We will knock on the door before entering the room and will not disturb Xiao Huan's privacy."

Okay, okay, you’re good at playing with money, right?

But it is true. Turning around, I saw that this super spacious garden villa did not feel confined at all. I could even play basketball in the living room, not to mention the terraces on the second, third and top floors.

There was no other way, he could only ask the question in depth. He looked up at Ye Shiyu, who was eating slower and slower, and said,

"And this kind of thing also needs to take Sister Shiyu's thoughts into consideration. There may be some things that Auntie doesn't care about, but..."

Before he finished listening, Ye Lan couldn't wait to turn around and look at Ye Shiyu.

"Shiyu, what do you think?"

Ye Shiyu held the bowl with a small ball of rice on her chopsticks.

Hearing this, she slowly put the ball of rice into her mouth, without chewing, and turned to look at her mother.

Just seeing her mother's slightly pouting lips and feeling her expectant gaze, she nodded and said softly,

"I have no opinion."

Her voice is very nice. Although the volume is not high, the words are so clear.

"That's great! Although Shiyu doesn't talk much, she's actually a very gentle and kind child. Don't worry, Xiaohuan. My sister and I welcome you."

Gentle and kind?

Yan Huan glanced in surprise at Ye Shiyu who had started to pick up food again. She also raised her eyes and looked at Yan Huan, never avoiding his gaze from beginning to end.

The direct eye contact eased Yan Huan's inner uneasiness a little. He seemed to be thinking about something, but still did not agree immediately.

After much thought, Yan Huan had no choice but to use the ability he had just acquired today to adjust the expression on his face.

"I know my sister and aunt are both very good people, but aunt, can you give me some time to think about it?"

Ye Lan pursed her lips and saw the emotion on the boy's face, but of course, more of hesitation.

Yes, she had this problem just this afternoon, why is she having it again now?

She might just be a little too impatient.

Thinking of this, Ye Lan also lowered his voice and suggested softly,

"Xiao Huan, since today is Friday and it's already dark, and this place is quite far from the South District where you live, why don't you stay here for the weekend? I'll take you and your sister to have some fun nearby the next day or the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

As long as he didn't make any final decision and didn't force Yan Huan to move in, his goal would actually be achieved.

At least we should completely dispel the ominous premonition in our hearts first, right?

He looked at Ye Lan, of course he was still hesitant, but in the end, the hesitation on his face seemed to be overwhelmed by her tenderness. He smiled, nodded and said,

"Okay, Auntie."

Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Ye Shiyu, and asked the same question,

"Where's Shiyu?"

"Well, I'm fine with that."

Same reaction as before, same answer.

"Great! That's settled, Aunt Chen. I'll trouble you to clean up the room on the second floor later."

Ye Lan clapped his hands, and the meal was almost finished.

Aunt Chen, who had been listening without interrupting the entire time, finally stood up at this moment. While diligently clearing the dishes, she said to Yan Huan,

"Okay, I'll take Xiao Huan there later."

Ye Lan was already immersed in the joy of "pre-adopting" Yan Huan at this moment, and he did not forget to turn around and say to Ye Shiyu,

"Shiyu, don't forget to add your contact information. If you have any questions in this unfamiliar school, you can ask your brother. He grew up in Linmen and is the student council president. If you need help since you're new here, please feel free to ask."

Ye Shiyu stood up, wiping her lips with a tissue. She glanced at Yan Huan and said,

"Okay, I didn't bring my phone with me. I'll add him when I get it."

"Yeah. I'll ask Aunt Chen to bring you some milk later."

"it is good."

A response came from the stairwell. It was Ye Shiyu who turned around and went upstairs, and soon disappeared.

Yan Huan also prepared to stand up, "Then I'll go see if I can help Aunt Chen, Auntie."

"No need. Just stay here and sit with your aunt for a while. Okay, Xiao Huan?"

But Ye Lan in front of him shook her head. She held her chin and looked straight at Yan Huan, looking at his face.

She liked looking at Yan Huan, looking into his eyes, as if she wanted to see everything about him from there, or perhaps she wanted to find the shadow of an old friend on his face.

Feeling her watery gaze, Yan Huan had no choice but to sit down slowly again.

"okay."

Ye Lan just looked at him like this. After a moment of silence, she smiled warmly.

"Xiao Huan, you've worked so hard these years."

Ye Lan's voice was so tender that Yan Huan couldn't help but blink.

The gradually slowing heartbeat in his chest seemed to have lost its strength, unable to push the words out, leaving him with empty mouth.

When he was about to say something, Ye Lan had already stretched and stood up.

"Okay, Auntie is a little tired, so I'll go upstairs to rest first. Auntie Chen will take you to your room later, so go to bed early~"

".You too, Aunt Ye."

Looking at her departing back, Yan Huan responded a second later.

Ye Lan went back to the bedroom on the third floor to rest. Aunt Chen told her that she had been busy since very early today, and going to Yuanyue Academy to see Yan Huan was her last stop.

After waiting for Aunt Chen to clean the kitchen, Yan Huan followed her to clean up the room. But it was just making the bed sheets and taking out the quilt, pillows and pillowcases, which was not a big deal.

The room on the second floor was so spacious that it was hard to imagine that this bedroom was even bigger than the one-bedroom apartment he rented in the South District.

Not only does it have a private bathroom, but there is also a separate area for a sofa, table, and bookcase. At the end of this area is the bedroom with a private balcony.

After closing the door behind him, Yan Huan looked at the cleaned-up room alone, raised an eyebrow, put away his schoolbag, and took off his school uniform jacket.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

He squeezed the leather sofa in the room, then walked to the door of the bedroom and looked at the balcony outside which was exposed because the curtains were not drawn, and the night view outside the house could be seen from there.

And he, the reincarnated boy from the Celestial Empire, will soon ask for leave from his boss who will be working for him the next day or the day after tomorrow in this luxurious house.

Well, he decided to put one less period when asking for leave to appear more assertive.

After looking at the darkness of the night for a long time, Yan Huan pulled down the curtains, turned on the bright bedside lamp, and lay down on the soft bed.

"Meow~"

At this moment, a pleasant cat meow was heard again in the bedroom.

Yan Huan, who was lying on the bed, stood up a little, turned his head to look at the edge of the bed, and found a fat black cat crawling out from under the bed.

If it weren't for the desk lamp, it would almost blend completely into the deep red wooden floor.

The black cat turned its head, revealing its pair of green eyes. It was Meow-chan.

"Nyan-chan, you're here."

"Meow!"

Yan Huan lay back on the bed, and Miao Jiang jumped up, first rubbing against his side, then standing directly on his stomach, and sent a voice into his head,

"I thought you'd be scared by the modifier incident and wouldn't dare approach any women for a while. Unexpectedly, before even a day had passed, not only didn't you run away, you actually approached me?"

". You can understand this kind of thing if you just think about it, right?"

Looking at the black cat standing on his lower abdomen, Yan Huan couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pinch its warm cat ears and stroke its furry back.

"Not only did you not tell me who else besides Bai Yi had the modifier, you also didn't tell me what the other modifiers were like. This means you don't know either, right?"

".Yes, my understanding of these invading forces is limited to knowing their existence and commonalities, but specifically..."

"Isn't it over then?"

Yan Huan spread his hands, his eyes calm.

"Our current goal is to resolve the modifiers. The first step in resolving them is to find them and their hosts, and then understand their properties. Only then can we think of ways to resolve them."

Assuming that Ye Lan and Ye Shiyu may have modifiers on their bodies, even if they don't come to Ye Lan's house for dinner today, further reject her adoption request, or even go so far as to cut off contact directly, Ye Shiyu will still go to Yuanyue Academy.

What is coming will come, unless you stay away from all women, or do something more drastic, first drop out of school, cut off all contacts accumulated in the past ten years, then disfigure your face, and then find a place to hide.

Shouting "I'm done with this" might be an effective solution, but...

"I need to solve the modifier, and the purpose of solving the modifier is to restore the world line to normal and allow my life to continue smoothly. I can't put the cart before the horse, nor can I throw the baby out with the bathwater. Taking a step back, although Ye Shiyu's personality seems strange, she may not really be the host of the modifier."

As he spoke, Yan Huan's eyes gradually became empty. He placed his left arm on his forehead, thinking of something, and said softly,

"Besides, Aunt Ye is a very gentle person."

Miaojiang just looked at Yan Huan, feeling the constant stroking of his right hand. She didn't speak in response, but straightened her body a little, and suddenly began to gently press on Yan Huan's solid chest muscles with her two soft pink pads.

One in front, one behind, one in front, one behind.

"Gululu~"

Yan Huan was slightly startled, lowered his head to look at Miao Jiang who was making a gurgling sound in his throat, and asked,

"What are you doing?"

Miaojiang continued to do this while looking at him as if he were a fool, as if to say,

"I'm a cat. What else can I do besides kneading milk?"

Yan Huan took a breath and was about to reach out and grab the fat cat by the scruff of the neck when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Yan Huan and Miao Jiang looked at each other, then sat up and asked,

"Which one?"

"."

no respond.

But Yan Huan seemed to have the answer. He gently put Miao Jiang down and whispered to it,

"Hide it so no one can see it."

"Meow~"

It nodded, crawled under the bed like a cricket pupa, and then seemed to disappear completely.

Yan Huan straightened his white shirt, put on his slippers and walked towards the door.

"coming."
