In her previous life, she never felt anything about being alone with Yan Qing at his home, but now her heart was about to jump out.
Yan Qing’s room was very neat and simple.
When An Xi saw the navy blue and white mixed bedding, she felt it perfectly matched Yan Qing’s style.
“An Xi, sit for a while. I’ll turn off what I’m doing and then let you play on the computer.”
Yan Qing spoke while sitting back at the computer, asking An Xi to sit on the bed.
“…That, Senior Yan Qing, don’t turn it off, continue! I’ll just look around or play on my phone.”
An Xi’s keen eyes saw the screen full of code she never understood in her previous life, immediately stopping Yan Qing from closing it.
So… Yan Qing was already planning for the future during his sophomore year? In her previous naive life, she thought he had achieved many “great accomplishments” overnight…
“…Okay, make yourself comfortable.”
Yan Qing gave An Xi a profound look and turned back to his work.
An Xi sat on the bed, swinging her legs, carefully examining Yan Qing’s room. Finally, her gaze settled on Yan Qing’s back.
His slender hands typed quickly on the keyboard, and the quiet room was filled with continuous “tap tap tap” sounds.
An Xi watched his back quietly, motionless. Sometimes she thought he looked like a gentle, docile big dog, wearing a beige sweater with soft, smooth hair.
For a moment… even she didn’t know what she was thinking.
She just felt that being able to live her life again and spend time with Yan Qing like this was really nice.
Senior Yan Qing’s sister is really gentle,” An Xi said thoughtfully after taking a few sips.
“Well…” When mentioning Yan Xin, Yan Qing’s eyes softened, “By the way, An Xi, why did you come today?”
“Ah?” Completely unexpected, An Xi was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed it off, “Just… passing by, taking a walk, hehe…”
“Is that so?” Yan Qing finished the milk in his hand, “So… how did you know where I live?”
“Uh…”
An Xi looked down at her toes, lowering her head to drink milk…
This question was even more tricky than the previous one…
Yan Qing patiently watched her, waiting for her to respond, but An Xi couldn’t think of a scientific, reasonable explanation… She was drinking this half cup of milk extremely slowly, hoping if possible that the milk would last until Sister Yan Xin called them to eat…
What should she do… Should she tell Yan Qing about being reborn?
When An Xi had struggled for a long time and finally mustered the courage to tell Yan Qing, she looked up to find that Yan Qing had already returned to facing the computer, staring at the screen full of code in deep thought.
“I… I’ll wash the cup!”
An Xi quickly stood up, picked up the empty cup from Yan Qing’s desk, and hurried out.
“Xiao Xi… just leave the cup on the table.”
Seeing her walk so quickly, as if something was chasing her, Yan Xin entered the kitchen and turned on the faucet to wash dishes.
“It’s okay, Sister Yan Xin.”
An Xi adjusted her mood, trying to appear calm while washing the cup.
“By the way, sister wants to tell you something,” Yan Xin said while stirring the pot, “Jing is coming back later… oh, Qing Qing’s second brother! If he says or does anything silly, don’t take it to heart.”
“I won’t…”
An Xi responded, but felt uneasy inside.
Silly talk? Silly actions? She was afraid Senior Yan Qing’s second brother probably didn’t like any girl following his precious brother…
“Ding dong—”
Speak of the devil, it must be Yan Qing’s second brother, Yan Jing!
“Jing, you’re back! Dinner’s ready… Oh, this is Qing Qing’s classmate An Xi,” Yan Xin opened the door, speaking while returning to the kitchen, just seeing An Xi take over her spatula to finish the dish.
“Hello, Brother Yan Jing.”
After finishing the pot, An Xi quickly walked behind Yan Xin and obediently greeted.
The man before her was around 26-27, with an innocent and harmless gentle smile, wearing a black suit, looking seven parts similar to Yan Qing but without glasses, with slightly brownish hair. At first glance, he gave off a bit of a “gentle prince” illusion.
“An… Xi.”
He first restrained his smile, slowly pronouncing her name, then a hint of sarcasm crossed his lips, “Who’s your brother? Don’t randomly claim relationships.”
“…Brother.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qing’s voice rang out behind him, coldly and clearly angry.
“Qing Qing! Brother’s here!”
Yan Jing seemed very happy, his face once again wearing a spring-like smile. His ability to change expressions was almost unbelievable.
“An Xi is my friend,” Yan Qing directly ignored his brother’s act.
“Yes, I know… Come, An Xi, let’s eat,” Yan Jing’s attitude was strange, seemingly able to turn 360 degrees at any moment after Yan Qing spoke.
“Umm…”
An Xi hung her head, letting Yan Xin lead her to the dining table.
The meal was very quiet, eerily so.
Yan Xin broke the silence first, smiling at An Xi, “Xiao Xi, you know? These two little bears always mess with me, and I’m so lonely with them coming and going… Can you come keep me company during your breaks?”
“I…”
“Oh, sister! When are you lonely? If you’re lonely… just call me! Your brother will immediately come back to accompany you! Why ask an outsider?”
An Xi was cut off before saying a word by Yan Jing’s rapid-fire speech, which came like a machine gun.
Outsider…
An Xi clenched her fist, feeling somewhat sad, though it was an undeniable fact.
Yan Jing’s way of speaking was truly full of gunpowder, slapping faces with ease. This kind of talk must be something he often did.
“Jing, can’t even food stop your mouth?”
Yan Xin pretended to say fiercely, scooping a large portion of food into his bowl, “Eat, you’re not allowed to talk.”
“Sister, really…”
Yan Jing’s muttering softened, but his unfriendly gaze continued to size up An Xi.
“Xiao Xi, don’t mind him. This is my house, and I’m in charge. By the way, Qing Qing definitely welcomes you too!” Yan Xin glared at Yan Jing, who raised an eyebrow and continued eating.
“Yes, An Xi can come anytime,” Yan Qing didn’t look at An Xi, just elegantly eating his meal, “By the way, even if you’re just wandering, it’s fine to wander to my house.”
“…
Low-hanging head while eating, Yan Jin showed little reaction, with a submissive and obedient appearance like a typical housewife.
An Xi felt that the latter half of Yan Qing’s words was clearly directed at herself, continuing the previous room conversation. It seemed like he casually let her off, not caring how she knew his home’s location.
This was somewhat a relief…
Actually, she only knew the location because in her previous life, during her sophomore year, she saw it while filling out a survey with Yan Qing…
After the meal, Yan Jin pulled An Xi to a distant corner of the room and asked seriously, “How much money would it take for you to leave my brother Qing Qing?”
“…”An Xi was stunned…
This scene… felt just like a novel where the male lead’s vicious mother confronts the female lead…
“One million,” Yan Jin stared into An Xi’s eyes and said slowly.
In the past, many girls had fallen for the fifty thousand figure, and their outcomes were not good… But this time, Yan Qing’s attitude towards An Xi was different, perhaps he should think more highly of her.
“…”
An Xi helplessly looked at the person before her, his expression was too serious, and she didn’t know how to respond…
“Plus another two hundred thousand.”
This girl actually looked calm… Could she be extremely greedy? What if she wanted to cling to Yan Qing and marry into their family to grab their property…
“Mr. Yan Jin…”
An Xi helplessly spoke, “Let me put it this way… Yan Qing’s worth to me cannot be measured by money. It’s more like… losing something as important as life to get another chance to stand beside him.”
