God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1008 - 287: Interlude of the Surveillance Camera

After dinner, it was time for everyone to go their separate ways.

Aside from Yan Huan and An Le, the other four girls lived in Jinghe District, so Yan Huan didn't have to worry about them.

He took the opportunity to send off other attendees, politely declining Ye Shiyu and Sakuragi Hitomi's offer to call a car for him, allowing him to accompany An Le discreetly.

Spencer was full and initially wanted to play a bit longer, but he got a call from home, and before long, Heather came to pick him up.

Heather stepped out of the luxurious black car, glanced at Spencer's eccentric outfit, and then gave Yan Huan a glare.

Before Yan Huan could explain, she left with Spencer, who was foolishly smiling, leaving Yan Huan a bit helpless.

Afterward, Ye Shiyu gave Bai Yi a ride home, while Sakuragi Hitomi got alone into Nara's sports car.

"I'll be heading off, An Le! Catch you on plane later!"

The last to leave was Miyake Huhu. Seeing her hail a taxi and about to get in, she turned back, smiled at Yan Huan, and said,

"Oh right, I almost forgot! The gift you gave me earlier is still at the mall's locker! You should go get it!"

"Right, of course."

Facing the night breeze, Yan Huan suddenly remembered something and, smiling, turned to An Le.

"Oh, An Le, let's go, we have a little gift for you."

"A gift?"

An Le blinked, somewhat puzzled, but after bidding farewell to Miyake Huhu, she followed Yan Huan back to the mall.

At the mall's first-floor locker, Yan Huan retrieved a bag.

As he took out its contents, he explained,

"I came prepared with different gifts based on the outcome..."

Saying this, he took out a box and handed it to An Le.

"This is..."

An Le took the box and felt its weight.

She quickly recognized it,

"This is... a graphics tablet?"

It's something used for drawing.

"Yes, I'm not familiar with these things, so I referred to Teacher Miyake's advice, who said this model should suit you well."

An Le clasped the graphics tablet's box, showing a warm smile.

She hugged the tablet's box to her chest, looking at Yan Huan,

"Thank you, Xiao Huan... By the way, how much is this, I... waaah!"

Before she could finish, Yan Huan reached out and gently pinched her chubby cheeks, playfully pulling them.

Not only did he squish her soft face, but he also jumbled her words.

"There you go again."

"Mmm... but... but Xiao Huan said based on the outcome, so did you consider if I hadn't made up with Spencer, or hadn't wanted to draw again?"

Seeing her plan revealed by Yan Huan, she pursed her lips, trying to shift the topic to escape his clutches.

Yan Huan indeed got distracted and nodded in acknowledgment,

"Uh-huh."

"Then, what would Xiao Huan have given as a gift?"

"Uh, that..."

An Le was just curious, but Yan Huan looked embarrassed.

But looking at An Le, he finally leaned down and whispered a few words in her ear.

"..."

"!!"

An Le's mouth fell open, her face flushing deep red.

Then, she leaned in to whisper in Yan Huan's ear,

"Xiao Huan, that gift... I'd... I'd like it... is it okay?"

Yan Huan knew it.

If things hadn't been patched up and she felt upset, soothing her this way was the best approach.

Yan Huan patted his waist, reluctantly nodding,

"Yes, yes..."

Just then, An Le's phone suddenly rang,

"Ding ding ding~"

She took out her phone, and Yan Huan looked over to see the word "Mom" clearly displayed.

"Eh, eh?"

She glanced at Yan Huan before answering the call,

"Mom! Eh... I'm out with classmates... with Xiao Huan and some girls from the class... Oh, I see... okay... okay!"

She hung up and pursed her lips, looking at Yan Huan somewhat pitifully,

"Xiao Huan, Mom and Dad came back from the hospital today. They'll be home resting for a few days, and next Friday, Mom will go to a nursing center...

"So I have to go home today, and at night during this time too..."

It was expected.

As soon as he saw it was her mom calling, Yan Huan knew this was the result.

This filled Yan Huan with a sense of regret.

Yet, his waist seemed to relax on its own, like a wage-earner stretching out near the end of the workweek...

This stark contrast in feelings made Yan Huan and An Le equally conflicted, but he still offered comfort,

"It's not like you're unreachable, it's just a few days... and we can always see each other at school, right?"

"..."

An Le pouted slightly, stayed silent, and stepped forward to nuzzle her head against Yan Huan's chest.

All the while softly saying,

"It's... it's not the same..."

Yan Huan patted her back and continued,

"Let's put off that gift until next week, okay? We'll be busy with the cultural festival then too..."

"Mm..."

Hearing this, An Le relaxed a bit, raising her head to look at Yan Huan,

"Let me call a ride for you, go home early so Auntie won't worry." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright..."

With that thought, Yan Huan still went to the roadside to hail a taxi for her.

If they were going home separately, they wouldn't be taking the same route; Yan Huan planned to hail a taxi for her, then leisurely take the subway back himself.
