CH 106

The words came so suddenly that not only An Yan and Chen Lian but all the surrounding students also froze in their tracks.

The one who reacted the most was An Yan. Although he was not yet fully enlightened, his face was hot and his ears were red on hearing these words. His head exploded, and the whole person was in a trance.

Chen Lian's face was more inexplicable. His thoughts were very simple, and his point of inexplicability was completely different from the others. ***I'm talking to you about the game, and you're fighting with me about assets. Is that fair?

The rest of the onlookers all had one sentence echoing in their minds.

Oh my god, suddenly talking about love in front of the public. Is Senior Cheng Yi directly confessing his love?

This confession came unexpectedly and turned the originally tit-for-tat atmosphere into an ambiguous one.

However, Chen Lian didn't understand the ambiguity, and he said, with a bit of exasperation, "Cheng Yi, what do you mean by that? We're talking about the competition. Isn't it unfair of you to say that? "

Cheng Yi snorted, "What's so unfair about that? You're the one who wants to compete with me, and now you're the one who's talking about unfairness because you can't compete. Don’t you think your behavior is very irresponsible and humiliating? "

Chen Lian was so angry that his face turned red: "Don't go too far!"

"Aren’t you the one who has gone too far?" Cheng Yi looked at Chen Lian coldly, "An Yan and I have already decided to form a team, and you want to interfere. Who is more outrageous? Mm?"

Chen Lian was so frustrated that he had nothing to say. Then he heard An Yan say, "Chen Lian, I have already agreed to participate in the competition with Cheng Yi, so I won't team up with you."

Chen Lian became even more furious, but he had nothing to say. He could only leave in a huff and gloom.

Cheng Yi's eyes faintly swept over the surroundings after he left, and the other onlookers, even though their hearts were burning with the strongest spirit of gossip, retreated honestly.

Cheng Yang wanted to stay and watch his big brother's jokes. A short interaction with his big brother’s eyes successfully obtained him two high quality potions as compensation, and Cheng Yang smiled, "I suddenly remember that I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

An Yan was feeling inexplicably shy and a bit unsure of how to face Cheng Yi. He was about to open his mouth to call out to him, but Cheng Yang had already run far away, so An Yan could only continue to stare down at his toes.

Cheng Yi's heart softened at the little one’s shy and cute look. He couldn’t help but come closer and let out a low laugh.

The laugh was so close that the hot air sprayed straight into An Yan's ears, and the sound felt like it exploded directly into his mind, making him even more dazed.

"Yan Yan?" Cheng Yi's low, magnetic voice exploded in his mind again.

Although An Yan was terribly shy, he obediently raised his head to look over when he heard Cheng Yi call him.

At that moment, his face was red, and his big, clear, bright eyes were filled with mist. It was both endearing and made one wonder how confusing it would be when that mist turned into water marks and ran across his hot little face.

Cheng Yi only felt his heart stutter and his body freeze.

His Adams apple rolled up and down, and then he let out a bitter laugh. He just wanted to tease the little one, but in the end, he was the one inviting trouble.

When will I eat this cute and tempting little one?

"Senior?" Cheng Yi had called him and didn't say anything, so An Yan couldn't help but speak up in confusion.

Probably because he was too shy, his voice sounded soft at this moment. The end note had a little bit of a coquettish upward curve, which made people's hearts tremble.

Cheng Yi's eyes darkened, and he silently took several deep breaths before he could barely calm his emotions and said, in a low, hoarse voice, "Let's go eat first."

"Mmm!" An Yan immediately nodded his head obediently.

The two tacitly agreed that neither would bring up the thought-provoking words from before, but that didn't mean they wouldn't think about it more.

An Yan didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't dare mention or ask about it, but he couldn't help but think about it over and over again.

Why would Cheng Yi say that at that time? Was it just to get Chen Lian to give up teaming up with him, or.... was there some other reason?

If there was another reason, then what would it be?

With his character, he would have asked directly, but he didn't know what was wrong with him this time. He was obviously curious, but he just didn't have the courage to ask Cheng Yi directly.

After holding it in for awhile, An Yan could not hold it in any longer. He did not choose to ask Cheng Yi directly but shifted his question to Cheng Yang immediately he went back to the dormitory.

Cheng Yang was Cheng Yi's brother, so he should know his thoughts very well, right?

So An Yan hesitantly approached Cheng Yang and whispered, "Yang Yang...... can I ask you a question?"

This was the first time Cheng Yang had seen An Yan look this coy. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously, "Did you encounter any difficult problems? Tell me quickly and I will see if I can help you find the answer. " 

"Well," An Yan gulped hard and mustered the courage to ask the question that was bothering him, "Why do you think Senior Cheng Yi said that at that time? Even if he hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have teamed up with Chen Lian. And even if he was going to something, there was no need for him to say something like that, right? "

Cheng Yang thought An Yan was going to discuss something academic with him, and his eyes widened slightly when he heard these words. A mysterious smile then slowly emerged on his face. "Since it was my big brother who said the words, why didn't Yan Yan go and ask him directly?"

An Yan's face began to burn again as he shifted his eyes to avoid Cheng Yang's gaze; "It's just a small question... I didn’t want to disturb Senior Cheng Yi."

The expression on Cheng Yang's face became even more ambiguous as he trailed off, "So that's how it is. I thought Yan Yan was asking me this question because he trusted me more."

An Yan gave a sheepish "mmm" and didn't say anything.

Cheng Yang, on the other hand, said solemnly, "Yan Yan, I don't know why big brother said that, but there is one thing that I know very well."

An Yan inexplicably began to get nervous: "What?"

Cheng Yang didn’t directly answer the question, but instead asked rhetorically, "Do you suddenly feel shy when you face my big brother, and you still don’t know why?"

An Yan thought back carefully. He had indeed started to feel shy when facing Cheng Yi several times before.

He nodded seriously, and then asked in confusion, "It seems to be the case, but how did you know?"

Cheng Yang's face revealed a sophisticated smile as he hedged, "Of course it's because I'm smart. So let me ask you another question. Do I and my big brother mean the same thing to you?"

"Hmm?" An Yan did not successfully grasp what Cheng Yang meant for a while.

Cheng Yang added, "That is to say, do you feel the same when you do the same things with me or with my big brother? For example, eating together, shopping together, playing games together, that kind of thing. " 

An Yan thought about it carefully and didn't notice any difference for a while: "It should be more or less the same, right?"

Cheng Yang: "...." This child really still hasn't gotten the gist of it.

“Then let me ask in a different way." Cheng Yang searched for a while and chose to change the angle, "Last time you visited my house as a guest, why did you buy me a mecha model and a space button, but bought my big brother clothes, shoes, and a belt?"

Obviously, An Yan couldn't say that it was because mecha models and space buttons are more expensive, so he said sheepishly, "Because Senior Cheng Yi said that you like mecha models a lot."

"Then do you know what type of mecha model I like?" Cheng Yang continued to ask, "Is it a realistic mecha model from the combat department, or a toy mecha model from the everyday department? Or is it a multi-functional mecha model in the transformation department? "

An Yan was confused by the question, "No...I don't know."

He only knew that Cheng Yang liked mecha models, but he did not know exactly what kind of mecha models he liked. Even the fact that Cheng Yang liked mecha models was information he got from Cheng Yi.

An Yan couldn't help but blame himself. He now realized that the gift he bought for Cheng Yang wasn't quite to his liking.

Cheng Yang himself didn't feel anything. They hadn't really known each other for that long, after all. In addition, they usually spent all their time together at the academy and didn't have time to play with mecha models together.

He just continued to ask, "What about my big brother's gift? How did you help him pick it out?"

An Yan answered honestly, "I bought the gifts according to the style Senior Cheng Yi liked; it's just that they were all cheaper."

As he said that, he became even more guilty.

On the one hand, he didn't buy anything to Cheng Yang’s liking, and on the other hand, the price was too cheap. He had done a really bad job.

Cheng Yang, however, clapped his hands and said impassively, "Look, this is the difference!"

An Yan snapped back from his self-condemnation and guilt. He looked at Cheng Yang blankly and said, "What's the difference?"

Cheng Yang explained with a smirk, "You were obviously more attentive when picking out a gift for my big brother, and it also shows that you know my big brother's preferences much better than you do for others."

One had to admit that it did seem to be the case.

Cheng Yang said, with a certain look on his face, "And these are enough to illustrate a fact."

An Yan looked at Cheng Yang nervously, "What fact?"

Cheng Yang chuckled, "It means that you like my big brother!"

Boom!

An Yan's head went straight up in smoke.
