God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls! Chapter 42 - 14. Despicable Me 3

"Ah, because yesterday Sister Shiyu seed to care a lot, I went back this morning and searched again. Sister Shiyu, it seems you left it at the Oceanarium, I found it there. As for the other two, it's just that auntie said you like jellyfish a lot, so I bought so based on my own preferences, please don't mind if you don't like them."

Originally, he got up so early in the morning to help find my keychain at the Oceanarium?

And this morning, instead, she had harbored malicious thoughts in her heart after peeking at him changing his clothes...

"Why... didn't you give it to earlier?"

If he had given it to earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been so moody, nor would I have been so irritable towards him.

"I originally planned to give it to Sister Shiyu at school..."

Yan Huan smiled wryly, speaking to Ye Shiyu,

"Because if I gave it to you today, I was afraid auntie would see and not let leave..."

"..."

Ye Shiyu watched Yan Huan, puzzled, as he handed over the gift bag from a bright spot.

While she, from the shadows, reached out slowly to take the gift bag.

Amidst the slowness, incomprehension and emotions recklessly spread in her heart, almost destroying her.

At this mont, she rembered, it seed that these past days, he had been taking care of her all along.

He politely greeted her the day before yesterday.

Yesterday, when she was fighting for the keychain with soone outside, he ca out to help her and got the keychain; when she lost her keychain, he also followed her and searched for hours without any complaints.

This morning he got up early to find the keychain for her, bought gifts; made her desserts at noon, helped her secure classes, realized she didn't want to watch the movie, so suggested going to the supermarket...

Even when he was about to leave, he still made double-skin milk for her and her mother.

She realized all of these actions, so why did she never acknowledge them in her heart before, and only rembered them now?

Because hatred and anger are like the tide.

When that tide rises, the "good" shells on the beach get subrged, unable to be seen no matter what.

So whenever you argue angrily with soone close, even though there are so many good mories with them, they all disappear at that mont.

Thus, only slander and insults remain.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

That weird throbbing beca more intense, Ye Shiyu slightly lowered her head, feeling as if she couldn't breathe, her chest felt suffocated.

But Yan Huan didn't notice her subtle change at the mont; he seed, like his mother, to have beco accustod to her silence.

He glanced up at the traffic lights in the distance waiting for the stream of cars and said,

"The car seems to be coming, Sister Shiyu..."

Ye Shiyu's hanging head tightened, and she instinctively lifted her head.

Her gaze coincided with his turning smile.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

"Then I'll see you at school, Sister Shiyu."

Looking at that smile, Ye Shiyu's lips trembled, the expressionless face no longer maintainable.

Her throat moving, she seed to want to say sothing.

This was the ti to say sothing, right?

But why...

Why can't you speak, Ye Shiyu?

Is it because of that unprecedented feeling in your heart? Because of that chest tightness? Because of the shortness of breath?

"Thump... thump... thump..."

"Wait..."

Yan Huan, just about to stand up, heard Ye Shiyu's word, even just one, and stopped his movents for her.

"Wait a mont..."

He looked at Ye Shiyu and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"..."

Say sothing...

He is looking at you, he is asking you...

Say...

What should I say?

"Thump... thump... thump..."

Ye Shiyu opened her mouth, but her throat felt as if it wasn't hers.

Looking at the handso young man in front of her, she felt like she was in a store seeing an item she desperately wanted to possess.

That one-of-a-kind in the world... seemingly exclusively hers...

Even though she should understand more than anyone that the young man in front of her isn't an object, a doll.

She was supposed to speak, to respond to his kindness and gentleness.

This is how one human responds to another's heart, to another person.

Not like purchasing an item, taking him off the shelf, then getting out the phone to checkout at the front.

But...

But she found herself unable to speak.

So she clumsily resorted to another thod attempting to possess him...

Thus, her right hand holding the phone instinctively lifted, aiming the screen at Yan Huan in front.

"!?"

When she lifted the phone, she belatedly realized what she had done.

He had been so good just now, displaying his kind-hearted sincerity to her, yet she...

Chose to hypnotize him?

Ye Shiyu's eyes widened, she gasped for air, but the raised hand refused to withdraw.

Regret, excitent, the strange throbbing in her heart intermingled, making her nearly lose control, leaving only the violent thumping sound by her ear.

"Thump... thump... thump..."

However, when she lifted the phone, Yan Huan just blinked slightly, looking at the phone screen, then confusedly glanced back at her.

Didn't...

Didn't work?

Why... wasn't it successful?

In an instant, an imnse fear nearly overwheld her heart.

Her pupils constricted, invisibly, so horrifying desire seed to swell up, causing the surrounding shadows to begin to roil.

Fortunately, at that mont, Yan Huan suddenly asked,

"Is your phone out of battery, Sister Shiyu?"

"Ah?"

The fear inside her crumbled instantly, she looked at her phone screen, where a large "empty battery" icon was all too conspicuous.
