Chapter 236: 69.Double Win...One Loss?_2

On the commercial street, by the roadside, Yan Huan and An Le took seats at an outdoor table of a restaurant.

Just as they started ordering food after scanning the QR code, An Le’s face turned red, and she timidly said to Yan Huan,

Yan Huan ordered a curry pork chop rice and looked towards An Le, asking,

"Why?"

"Because... it feels like everyone is looking over here..."

Yan Huan glanced sideways.

Since the commercial street was essentially within Yuanyue Academy’s boundaries, the customers here were of course all students from Yuanyue.

Not everyone was idly staring at Yan Huan and them; it was just when people occasionally passed by, they would take a glance or two.

"Inside, it’s all people from our school as well, there’s no difference between sitting inside and outside... Rather than that, what would you like to eat? It’s on me."

"Eh? I..."

An Le took Yan Huan’s phone with both hands, pursed her lips, swiped it a bit, randomly picked the cheapest rice dish, then handed the phone back.

After Yan Huan completed the order on the phone, he put it down, rubbed his shoulders and chest, and immediately winced in pain with a sharp intake of breath.

Seeing the mood quieting down, Little Thumb on his shoulder hurriedly urged,

"Hurry up, just say something! Weren’t you going to ask Yan Huan for help? Waiting for him to initiate the conversation, right?"

These words jolted An Le out of her focus on Yan Huan’s face, and she opened her mouth with flushed cheeks.

Just as she was about to say something, the smile on the face of Yan Huan, who was locking his phone, faded a bit.

He lifted his eyes to look at An Le in front of him and suddenly asked,

"Was it true that Park Shuwen bullied you before?"

An Le was slightly startled, just about to reply, but noticing Yan Huan’s rigid shoulders, which seemed to be in pain with the slightest movement...

She quickly changed the subject, asking with great concern,

"Xiao Huan, are you...not feeling well?"

Yan Huan smiled helplessly and responded to her,

"I’m asking if you’re okay, don’t change the subject."

"I... I know... It’s just... I’m really worried about you..."

Looking into her bright and sparkling eyes, Yan Huan had no choice but to explain,

"I’ve been working out lately; the exercise load has been quite heavy, so my muscles are quite sore. It’s fine, pain just means muscles are growing."

"Working out, huh..."

Hearing this, An Le looked Yan Huan up and down, his lower body hidden by the table, and something seemed to dawn on her; her gaze became dreamy, and her face flushed.

Little Thumb rolled its eyes and commented,

"What a perv."

An Le didn’t retort, her face still red.

After spending so much time together, Little Thumb knew exactly what kind of person she was.

However, it appeared that Yan Huan was in pain. If she could use her superpower to relieve him...

With that thought, she quickly asked Little Thumb,

"Little Thumb, if I use my superpower to give Xiao Huan pleasure, it should alleviate his pain, right?"

"Of course, pleasure is the best painkiller..."

Little Thumb flicked its tongue, as if it had more to say but left it unsaid.

After thinking for a moment, it changed the subject and continued,

"This level of pleasure doesn’t require a Superconductor that strong in memory modification... You just need to summon the snake-shaped tattoo on your hand, and then just gently touch him with the position of the tattoo to relieve it..."

"So... that means..."

Little Thumb flicked its tongue with a sly smile,

"That means, find a way to touch Yan Huan’s hand!"

An Le pursed her lips, her heart suddenly leaping into her throat.

Her eyes trembled as they moved upwards bit by bit, from her own softness, all the way forward, until they landed on Yan Huan’s fingers.

"You didn’t answer my question just now, An Le."

"Ah? Uh..."

At this, An Le fell silent for a moment before finally nodding.

"Actually... it was just isolation and occasional sarcastic remarks... It was just that time, because I overheard them talking about passing love letters to Xiao Huan from Yahashi through Shuwen...

"I wanted this way to recognize you, but I was found out by them, so..."

Yan Huan massaged his forehead, his expression conveying "I figured as much."

An Le was like that; she could have come to him directly, but she always preferred these roundabout methods.

This is because, before doing something, she would always imagine... or fantasize about countless possibilities in her mind.

In the end, she would either be scared off by these possibilities and choose to give up or, despite every risk, muster the courage through indirect ways.

However, this led to a big question for Yan Huan.

Based on the timeline, An Le should have already received the modifier when Park Shuwen bullied her last week.

Given An Le’s character, even if bullied, she would definitely not resort to using the modifier to retaliate, Yan Huan understood that much.

But why did she randomly give him pleasure with the modifier in the corridor by the student council office on Thursday? Yan Huan was completely baffled.

Luckily he had resistance, otherwise, without it he probably would have turned into a puff.

So, what was the reason?

Timid before Park Shuwen, yet striking hard against him...

Is this your way of childhood friendship, An Le?

Yan Huan was baffled.

But looking at An Le in front of him, biting her lip and seemingly still a bit scared, Yan Huan silently subdued that thought.

He would rather believe that An Le had trouble using the modifier proficiently at the time and thus made a mistake.

Thinking about it, it was quite possible.

If she had been there at the time, she must have sneakily witnessed him donning his aloof facade in front of Spencer.

An Le, that idiot, wouldn’t use the modifier to punish those who bullied her, but when she saw friends arguing, she would instead use the modifier to help
