Chapter 13 13. Learn to say no to Aunt Ye
Because she didn't sleep well yesterday, Ye Shiyu took another nap after getting up early in the morning. When she woke up, it was almost noon and Yan Huan had already returned.

"Shiyu, you woke up."

"Hey, Shiyu, come and try this caramel pudding made by your brother. It's delicious."

As soon as she came down, Ye Shiyu saw a small piece of golden pudding on each of the plates in front of Ye Lan and Aunt Chen on the dining table.

The surface of the pudding is smooth, the caramel color is just right, and a little bit of vanilla essential oil is diffused. It looks great and very stylish.

Aunt Chen was inviting her to come down and taste the food, while Ye Lan was taking pictures of the pudding on the plate with her mobile phone.

Ye Shiyu walked down and looked towards the kitchen, and saw that Yan Huan had just taken off her apron and hung it on the hook.

Then he came out with another plate of pudding, smiling at himself,

"Sister Shiyu, I prepared a pudding for you. I happen to have a mold and ingredients at home, so I made it for you to try."

"."

At home
Hearing the other party's words as if he had already regarded this place as his own home, Ye Shiyu looked at his hand again, only to see that he was still holding the black porcelain with her name written on it.

There was a chill in his expression unconsciously, but Ye Lan's voice came from behind him at the right time.
"Poetry?"

".Thanks."

The cold air did not disappear, but just returned to her eyes little by little.

Her expression returned to normal, and then she nodded and took the pudding that Yan Huan handed to her.

After taking a seat, Ye Lan took a photo of the pudding and took a bite. The sweetness was just right, making her let out a satisfied sound.

Turning to Yan Huan, he asked,
"Mm, it tastes really good. Xiao Huan, can you make dessert yourself?"

"No, I learned it at the place where I work. It's a bar there, and they also sell snacks like desserts. Frying some French fries and making pudding is no problem."

"A bar, that environment must be very chaotic, right?"

Ye Lan frowned, having a strange prejudice against that kind of place, but Yan Huan quickly explained with a smile,
"It's just a small pub with a singer. No strange people would go there. My colleagues are very caring towards me, and the salary is quite high."

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Huan."

When hearing about salary, Ye Lan showed a look of understanding on his face.

Yes, what choice does a high school student have to pay for living expenses and tuition? If he has a part-time job, why should he care about the environment or whether it is hard work?
Ye Lan thought Yan Huan had no choice but to do it for the money, but in fact there was a misunderstanding. Sister Tong’s tavern was really quite serious.

Listening to the conversation between her mother and Yan Huan, the darkness in Ye Shiyu's eyes grew more intense as she silently picked up the spoon.

The more attentive Yan Huan was, the more she disliked him.

She took a symbolic bite of the pudding, but the pudding, which was obviously very delicious, tasted like a needle in her mouth.

Ye Shiyu's eyes kept flickering over him and Ye Lan as they talked and laughed. Even the mask-like expressionless face could hardly hide her darkness.

Yan Huan glanced at her imperceptibly. Knowing the existence of the modifier, he was even more keenly aware of it than Ye Lan.

But he continued to talk to Ye Lan, responding fluently to all her inquiries and concerns, and even went a step further to make her laugh.

As he was talking, he took the initiative to ask a question.

"By the way, has Sister Shiyu selected courses in the school affairs system?"

"Course selection?"

Ye Lan glanced at Ye Shiyu next to him and asked in confusion,
"Do you still have to choose classes in your school? Don't we all take the same ones?"

"Ah, that's the case in Longguo, but here in addition to the five required courses, there are two elective courses, usually in the afternoon, and you can take them with people from different grades and classes."

"It seems that Principal Hermes didn't inform us?"

"Because you can go to the school's academic affairs office in person to apply for extra classes. At that time, the teachers in the academic affairs office will explain the content of each class in detail. You can't see these when you choose online courses. That's why Principal Hermes didn't notify you of online course registration in advance."

Yan Huan smiled and said to Ye Lan,
"But I am more familiar with the courses in the school and can explain them to Auntie and Sister Shiyu. It is okay to choose now."

"Is that so? Then Shiyu, how about you take down mom's computer and let Xiaohuan help you choose classes? Mom will also take a look at how high schools choose classes here."

Ye Shiyu stopped using the spoon as a knife to dig into the pudding's flesh, nodded, stood up and went upstairs.

Just as she was leaving, Aunt Chen said she was going to prepare lunch, and Yan Huan's voice saying she wanted to help was heard again.

"No need, just choose your classes here with Miss and Shiyu. Xiaohuan, you made such delicious pudding, Aunt Chen will show you some more of her skills, what dish do you want to eat?"

"Really? Then I want to eat ribs. I just saw them in the refrigerator."

"Hey, have you discovered all this? Okay, Auntie Chen will make it for you later."

"Hey, Xiao Huan, sit down. Can you tell me what the classes in your school are like?"

"That's it, Auntie."

Listening to their conversation, Ye Shiyu's pace on the stairs slowed down little by little.

The harmonious and lively atmosphere might be better than when you are at home?
After all, she doesn't like to talk much, and usually spends more time in the house fiddling with her dolls, so the atmosphere at home has always been lukewarm.
In other words, he is actually more suitable to be a member of this family, which is why his mother focuses all her attention on him.

"."

For some reason, even though it was just a fictional movie, she felt exactly like the protagonist.

So, the original wish of just wanting to drive him away was slightly deviated.
Is that normal?
She held her cell phone in her hand, went upstairs silently, and soon disappeared on the spiral staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor.

After having lunch at noon and taking a short rest in the afternoon, Yan Huan helped Ye Shiyu open Yuanyue's course selection website in front of the computer.

He logged into the account that Principal Hermes gave to Ye Lan and helped her search for available courses.

Yan Huan and Ye Lan were basically communicating throughout the whole process. Although she kept asking Ye Shiyu, she was basically repeating the same operations.

Thinking, nodding, "I have no objection."

It’s as if Yan Huan is choosing courses.

I finally finished choosing two elective courses, one of which was a "hand-made practice course" and it was the same course that Yan Huan was taking.

Ye Lan glanced at the time. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Just as she was about to say something, Aunt Chen in the kitchen poked her head out and said to Ye Lan,

"Miss, we are running low on vegetables. The place to buy vegetables here is a bit far. Can you drive me there?"

"I'm going to take these two kids out to see a movie and eat outside this afternoon. I'll give you the other car key."

It turns out Ye Lan has a car, then why did he need a driver to pick him up yesterday?
"Oh, forget it. I haven't even got my Linmen driver's license yet, and I drive worse than you do. If I go on the road, I'll definitely lose a lot of points. I'll take a car to buy it later. But if you're not home for dinner tonight, what should I do with the ribs?"

Having said that, Aunt Chen went back to the kitchen.

It turns out that Ye Lan is a Benben.

Ye Lan's face turned slightly red. She glanced at Yan Huan beside her with some embarrassment and asked,
"Xiao Huan, Shi Yu, we're going to go to the movies later. Can you guys see if there's anything you want to see?"

".I also can."

Ye Shiyu said so, but in fact she had no intention of going to see it.

Normally, she seldom watches movies and isn't very interested in them. She was able to watch the movie yesterday because she could relate to the story.

But my mother said she wanted to go and see it, so I can go.

Yan Huan glanced at Ye Shiyu and suggested with a smile,
"Auntie, why don't we go to the supermarket and buy some food for Auntie Chen so we can eat at home tonight."

“So sensible”

Ye Lan smiled and touched his head, but suddenly changed the subject.
"But I see you just want to eat ribs, don't you?"

"It's mainly because I don't want to waste it, Auntie. It has nothing to do with spareribs, really."

"Hahaha"

Ye Lan was amused again. She looked at Ye Shiyu next to her and asked,

"What do you think, Shiyu? Do you want to watch a movie?"

"I also can."

Ye Shiyu once again looked at Yan Huan in front of her with an expressionless face.

Feeling the gaze that was like looking at a dead object, Yan Huan pretended not to see it, and the smile on her face became more charming.

Locking the door is definitely useless.
He thought so.

Ye Lan also changed his mind and asked the kitchen,

"Aunt Chen, what vegetables do you want to buy? We will go get them for you later."

"Not going to the movies?"

"Haha, Xiao Huan loves the ribs you make."

"Oh, it seems that there is really no delicious food in Linmen. The child must be starving."

"Hahaha, hurry up, buy some vegetables, we'll leave soon."

After Aunt Chen announced the names of the dishes, Ye Lan took the car keys and took Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu to the garage outside.

The garage opened, revealing an extremely cheap mini tram.

It's just a little bigger than the chopped pepper fish head.

Yan Huan took a look at the small and cheap car, and then looked at Ye Lan who was looking very interested beside him.

You, the CEO of Linmen with such a huge fortune, drive this?

Yan Huan followed Ye Shiyu into the car in a daze and sat in the back seat. As soon as he got in the car, Ye Shiyu fastened his seat belt.

Just when Yan Huan was confused, the train started.

"We're ready to go."

Then, the whole car suddenly began to move backwards and crashed into the wall of the garage with a crisp sound.

"Boom!"

Yan Huan swayed and leaned back on the seat behind him.

Ye Shiyu beside him was as calm as a mountain in the wind and rain, as if she had already gotten used to it.

"."

He seemed to know why President Ye drove such a cheap car.

Ye Lan turned around with an apologetic look on his face and said to Yan Huan,
"Sorry, I got the wrong time. Now it's all right. Let's go right away."

"Okay, Auntie."

Yan Huan fastened his seat belt silently, the smile on his face seemed a little forced.

"Hahaha, Miss, you're almost scared to death by Xiao Huan."

At the dinner table, Aunt Chen poured drinks for everyone else. Seeing Yan Huan's frightened expression, she laughed at him. Ye Lan pouted, feeling a little depressed.

"It's much better than before. Except for the time I accidentally pressed the reverse gear in the garage, everything else should be fine."

Yes, excluding various drifting, zero-frame lane changes, irregular speed changes, and life-and-death racing, the rest are really okay.

I just felt a little nauseous after sitting there.

Especially since the train accelerated and decelerated very quickly. In short, it really succeeded in making Yan Huan, a person who never gets carsick, feel carsick.

And now, with a pale face, he smiled and comforted Ye Lan,

"Dead, auntie."

Looking at his extremely forced smile, Aunt Chen was also successfully amused.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Here, I'll give you some ribs and shut your mouth."

Ye Lan picked up a piece of pork ribs for Yan Huan, and then picked up another piece for Ye Shiyu, and the dining table was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Only Ye Shiyu next to her remained silent, so Yan Huan took the initiative to say to her,
"In comparison, Sister Shiyu is really amazing. She's not afraid at all."

"."

There was no reply. Ye Lan smiled and filled in the blank.

"Sister is the most considerate to me, unlike Xiao Huan."

"Shiyu is used to sitting here. She used to feel dizzy when sitting here."

"."

Still no reply, and the meal ended with this intermittent conversation.

"Aunt Chen, let me help you."

This time, Yan Huan stood up first to help Aunt Chen with the dining table, while Ye Lan held her chin and looked at his back with a smile.

After a pause, she turned and went to a cabinet in the living room and started looking for something.

That cabinet is full of various photo albums.

Seeing this scene, Ye Shiyu understood.

Presumably, that moment will come soon.

There are many old photos in those albums, including those of Yan Huan’s parents.

Yan Huan said on Friday that he would stay here for the weekend. Now the atmosphere was good and he was almost becoming one with this family.

All Mom needs to do is talk about the past and he will naturally stay here.
"Mom, I'm going upstairs to make clothes."

Thinking of this, Ye Shiyu stood up expressionlessly and said so.

"Okay, go ahead."

Ye Lan was still looking through the photo album, while Ye Shiyu turned around and left with a shadow on her face, going upstairs.

".found it."

Ye Lan quickly found a photo album, took it out, and sat back on the sofa in the living room.

Yan Huan was busy in the kitchen for a long time before he washed his hands and came out holding two bowls of double skin milk he had just made.

Seeing that only Ye Lan was sitting in the living room, he asked,

"Auntie, where is Sister Shiyu? I made dessert for you and her."

“She went up to make clothes.”

Ye Lan said this with a smile, and then waved to him.
"Come here, Xiao Huan, I want to show you something."

"Okay, Auntie."

After placing the double skin milk on the coffee table, Yan Huan sat down next to Ye Lan and watched her open the thick photo album in her hand, revealing the photos displayed inside.

Her finger moved and stopped on a photo of two young women.

In the group photo, Ye Lan, with short hair and a somewhat awkward smile, stood next to a woman with long flowing hair and a sunny smile. The woman nonchalantly made a "yeah" gesture to the camera.

Just looking at the beautiful girl standing next to Ye Lan, Yan Huan's eyes moved slightly.

The girl's eyes and eyebrows really look like mine, especially when she smiles.

Then, Yan Huan also understood her identity.

"Look, Xiao Huan, this is your mother, Wang Yulu, my college classmate."

Ye Lan smiled slightly, moving his fingers along the photos, and then said to Yan Huan who was stunned beside him,

"When I first entered university, my family's business was at a low point and conditions were very difficult. Don't look at me as glamorous and beautiful now, but 20 years ago, your aunt was so poor that she could barely make ends meet when she was in university."

In the photos, some of Ye Lan's clothes obviously don't match her body shape and appear a little too big.

“But young people cannot be satisfied just by burying their heads in books, they always need entertainment and socializing.

"But I had no money to buy clothes, so the ones I brought to college were all my sister's size bigger. I would feel inferior even when I wore them.

"I don't even have clothes, let alone other things like cosmetics, snacks, and electronic products. I don't have anything."

In every photo, the girl standing next to Ye Lan has a smile on her face, and she either makes a gesture to the camera or makes some funny movements.

You can tell just from the photo that she is a very sunny woman.

“At that time, your mother was my roommate.

"When she saw that I had no clothes to wear, she would lend me clothes of similar size. When I went out on dates or for interviews and didn't have any makeup, she would give me hers. She taught me skin care, took me out for exercise, studied with me, and introduced me to more friends.
"Your father and mother met at that time. Look, this is your father. Your parents were a perfect couple in the Faculty of Arts at that time."

In one photo, Ye Lan, Wang Yulu and another handsome man wearing glasses were looking at the camera at the same time, apparently at the dining table, with some other classmates behind them.

"Your mother is a very kind and sincere person. Without her, I don't know what psychological problems I would have had during my six years of undergraduate and graduate studies.

"She was my best friend until she graduated from graduate school. She and your father chose to come to Linmen to develop their careers. They flew all over the world and their cell phones were often out of service. As for me, I was busy with my failed marriage and my family's business.

"Over the years, I occasionally sent text messages to say hello, but there was never a reply. I thought they were too busy, who knows"

As he spoke, Ye Lan's eyes gradually turned red.

She turned the page of the photo album, but she didn't dare to look at it again, as if she was afraid of crying when she saw Yan Huan's mother's face again.

Yan Huan considerately took out a tissue for her and handed it to her.

In the photo album, a photo of Yan Huan's mother smiling next to the baby's crib attracted Yan Huan's attention.

In the crib, he saw Ye Shiyu, who was still a baby, stretching out her little hand and holding Wang Yulu's little finger, while Wang Yulu's face was full of smiles and surprise.

It also says under the album,

"Shiyu's first meeting with her godmother."

Looking at the note under the photo, Yan Huan's pupils shrank slightly, and Ye Lan next to him also laughed after seeing the photo.

"Your mother and I agreed to be each other's children's godmothers. I have always told Shiyu this. So, Xiao Huan, I hope you can understand why your aunt was so out of control when she first met you. Maybe I was too anxious and acted too intimately, which made you feel very unnatural.
"I was just crying, I couldn't help laughing when I saw your name. She always said that if she had a child, she would give him this name because she loves to laugh. She said that the child must love to laugh too."

Yan Huan took out another piece of paper and handed it over, but Ye Lan didn't even notice it.

So, he could only wipe her tears himself, somewhat offensively.
"Auntie Ye"

But Ye Lan gently held the hand that Yan Huan extended. She looked at Yan Huan in front of her and asked softly,

"So, Xiao Huan, how about you stay here? Just live in your aunt's house. I will treat you as my own child and take good care of you on behalf of your mother, okay?"

"."

Looking at Ye Lan, whose eyes were filled with tears and enthusiasm, Yan Huan opened his mouth and an unknown emotion filled his heart.

This was a proposal that could not be refused for both emotional and logical reasons. After two days, it was almost a natural outcome.
Maybe Yan Huan had already considered it from a "rational" perspective before, and there is no need to say more about the value of the position as the president of Ye International Linmen.

To be honest, no matter how stupid you are, you can understand the importance of the easy answer of "yes" to this kind of noble person who comes out of nowhere.

But everything Ye Lan said just now was from the perspective of "emotion".

There is no bloody love triangle, no dramatic love-hate relationship.

It's just a helping hand in times of distress, and it's just a long-term daily companionship.

However, when she reviewed the past and thoroughly showed Yan Huan the precious feelings between them, even though Yan Huan was an orphan time traveler, she would probably be moved.

It was because he realized the sincerity of Ye Lan's emotions that he was in hesitation at this moment.

Feeling Yan Huan's hesitation, Ye Lan, with tears in the corners of his eyes, began to turn his mouth down uncontrollably again.

That look, with emotions like a torrent rushing towards Yan Huan, made people feel that words of rejection were the unforgivable sin in this world.

"Aunt."

As for Yan Huan, his eyes drooped little by little, avoiding her face like that.

After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly and said,

"I can't stay."

Hearing this, Ye Lan was a little bit unbelievable. She blinked and asked quickly,
"Why? Does Auntie make it difficult for you to get along with her?"

"of course not."

"That's my sister? She just rarely interacts with others. She's not a bad person by nature. I believe that if Xiao Huan is around, she will slowly become more cheerful."

"It's not because of my sister, auntie. I never thought about it that way."

"Why is that? Auntie has a lot of money and can help you solve many problems. Even if you are not satisfied with something, just tell me."

Ye Lan's expression in front of him became more and more puzzled, and his look of grievance and sadness became more and more overflowing.

She just looked into Yan Huan's eyes, chasing his evasive gaze until it reached a blind spot.

really
You can't escape from it, Yan Huan.
You can blame those damn editors, Aunt Ye, for forcing me to do this.

Yan Huan kept smiling, and her eyes finally raised little by little, looking straight into Ye Lan's eyes.

There was no disgust in his eyes, but his tone was firm.

The time was 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, and the location was Ye Lan’s mansion in Jinghe District.

Yan Huan looked at Ye Lan in front of him and said sincerely,

"I'm sorry, Aunt Ye.
"I can't stay here. I have to go back to the South Side."
