Chapter 1408: Chapter 413: Secret (Part 2)

Seeing this, Bai Yi’s lifted finger froze slightly.

At this moment, a message came from Aria,

"I was just about to tell you that I found the candies you asked me to bring back from Hawk Country! I couldn’t find you in the group... Check it out, do you want the chocolate flavor or the grape flavor?"

"..."

Bai Yi opened her mouth but, in the end, didn’t type anything.

Seeing this, Yan Huan blinked and hesitantly asked,

"What’s wrong, meow?"

"Aaaah! Sugar-coated artillery shells!!"

That was a question better left unasked. As soon as Yan Huan spoke, Bai Yi immediately threw her phone aside and started rolling around on the bed with her head covered.

"..."

Yan Huan was speechless. He realized that Bai Yi was quite lively in private.

When he hadn’t turned into a cat, she still managed to maintain some ladylike demeanor, only exposing her true personality when she activated her indifference.

Now, it’s like this twenty-four hours a day.

"Meow～"

Yan Huan flew onto the bed, looking at Bai Yi lying there with empty eyes, gazing at the ceiling.

He didn’t know what Bai Yi was looking at or thinking, so he asked,

"What are you thinking about, meow?"

"...Ah, I’m thinking... I’m really an idiot."

"..."

Just realizing it now?

That’s quite late.

Yan Huan did not speak, just watched as Bai Yi rolled over, lying on her side to look at him, reaching out her fingers to rub her own head,

"Clearly I didn’t want to share Yan Huan with Sakuragi Hitomi and the others, but just now, I shamefully thought... this feeling of being cared for by many people... is not bad..."

"..."

Yan Huan looked at her starry eyes, slightly lowered above her arm, and said,

"I thought that someone as beautiful as you would have many people caring about you, meow."

"Oh my... haha, I’m really not that pretty... just average, hahaha..."

Great, I shouldn’t have said that, look how happy you are.

Looking at Bai Yi pretending to be humble while covering her face, Yan Huan’s cat face turned dark.

But as she laughed, Bai Yi lay back down and looked at the ceiling.

At the same time, the smile on her face gradually faded,

"How should I put it, actually... there aren’t really many people who truly care about me..."

"..."

Bai Yi began to count on her fingers,

"Because of work, I rarely come to school and don’t have any deep friendships...

"The schoolmates, on the plane, mostly chat with me to ask for class notes I missed..."

The light shining through her fingers cast a shadow on her stunning face,

"When I go to school, I’ve tried to participate in conversations...

"But... how should I put it, the Inner Court people have their circles, which I can’t enter; and the Outer Court stuff, I seem to know very little...

"Famous boy bands, cute mascots... those things, I’m working every day, how would I know?

"Ah, finally some makeup and skincare products I know, thinking I could recommend a few, and they said stuff like...

"’Ah, so expensive, can’t afford it... as expected of a working celebrity’... chit!"

Thinking about this, Bai Yi puffed up her cheeks angrily, shadowboxing.

Beside her, Yan Huan just sat gracefully, watching her, listening to her.

"As for boys... I don’t really know much about them either.

"When I first enrolled, there was a senior from the Inner Court pursuing me...

"Ha, completely out of the blue!

"Never even had a conversation, suddenly messaged on the plane saying he likes me?

"Then started sending me gifts, good morning, good night... ew!"

Yan Huan looked at her, meowing,

"Because you’re very pretty, meow."

Bai Yi glanced at Yan Huan, gently pulled him into her arms, and tapped his nose seriously,

"Meow, do you know? Whatever you use to attract people is what you’ll attract..."

What on earth is "Meow"?

Yan Huan gave her a sideways glance, remaining silent.

"Since starting as a child star, every invitation I’ve received has been to showcase my cuteness, beauty, to trade for value...

"And this was inherited, so my mother often uses this to make her point... saying that I can be where I am today all because of her...

"Naturally, everything is because of her, so she naturally doesn’t acknowledge or always nitpicks me.

"My acting, my grades, my personality, the things I like...

"Anyway, the things I feel represent me more, have never been acknowledged by others before..."

As she spoke, Bai Yi blinked and lifted Yan Huan up.

Yan Huan dangled his four paws, looking down from above at Bai Yi smiling up at him with starry eyes,

"Until, I knew Yan Huan had always been my fan."

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan averted his gaze, changed the subject,

"Don’t you have a stepfather, he seems like a good person."

"Uncle Jiang is indeed a good person... but he’s very busy, I rarely see him throughout the year. And with my mom around, often he can’t say much..."

Zuo Jiangqin...

Indeed, although Yan Huan had only met her a few times, he had already understood her dramatics.

Yan Huan’s gaze went vacant, his tail swaying back and forth.

Seeing this, Bai Yi put him down, placing him on her chest,

"What’s wrong, Meow?"

Can you stop calling me "Meow"?

Yan Huan glanced at her, settled into her arms, and lay down,

"I was thinking about when you’re going to escape your mother’s original family, meow."

"Hahaha..."

Bai Yi laughed beautifully, rubbing her eyes as she murmured,

"Even though she annoys me, how should I put it... I don’t even know if I should blame her..."
