Thanks to having finally discussed in detail with Ge Xiaolun the follow-up procedures of the social event, Yan was able to free himself and turn his attention to Xiao Kaixi who was immersed in his own little world.

She walked gently to little Kaixi, stretched out her hand with a smile, and gently pulled her to a quieter corner.

Little Kathy's hair had quietly turned back to her signature golden color, shining with a soft luster under the light.

Although Yan was a little confused, she did not show it on the surface. She knew that the changes in Kaixi's hair color were always accompanied by some special emotions or experiences, and whether it was blonde or silver hair, in her eyes it was so pure and innocent and worthy of protection.

Little Kaixi was concentrating on licking the remaining cream on the corner of her mouth, looking at Yan with a bit of doubt in her eyes: "Sister Yan, what's wrong? Is there something wrong that you suddenly pulled me here?" Her voice was full of childish innocence.

Yan shook his head gently, with a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth: "Little guy, I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?"

There is a hint of sarcasm in the words, but also sincere expectations.

Xiao Kaixi tilted his head and thought about it, then answered perfunctorily: "Well...it's okay, I didn't think much about it."

Her attention was soon drawn to the new and interesting things around her, especially the colorful and fragrant desserts, and she completely forgot Yan's question.

Seeing this, Yan could only sigh helplessly, with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his eyes: "Oh, okay, you haven't thought about me for so long."

But she knew in her heart that little Kaixi's world was so simple and straightforward.

"Sister Yan, you are not a child anymore, why do you still care so much about this?"

Xiao Kaixi seemed to see through Yan's thoughts. As he spoke, he unceremoniously put his right arm around Yan's neck, showing him a very intimate relationship.

Her left hand reached into the micro-wormhole again, as if it was an endless treasure trove of small cakes, and she could always produce what she wanted - this time it was a small, exquisite, and temptingly colorful chocolate cake.

While little Kaixi was concentrating on enjoying her delicious food, Yan's eyes were attracted by the sparkling ring on her finger.

The ring had a unique design and was made of precious material. Yan recognized it at a glance - it was Lena's ring. She had seen it on Lena's and Kaixi's fingers before.

"This ring...why are you wearing it?" There was a barely perceptible seriousness in Yan's tone.

She knew that the ring meant a lot to Lena, and she also understood what it might mean for little Kathy to wear it.

Xiao Kaixi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Yan to notice this detail.

She retracted her right hand, looked down at the ring, then looked up at Yan, with a sly look in her eyes: "Because it looks good!"

"Besides, this is a gift from my sister, so of course I have to wear it!"

After saying that, she continued to lower her head and taste the small cake in her hand, as if the topic just now was just a breeze that blew past and disappeared without a trace.

Yan looked at Xiao Kaixi's expression that didn't care at all, and felt mixed emotions.

She knew in her heart that the ring was more than just a simple decoration.

Seeing this, Xiao Kaixi simply took out another exquisite little cake, smiled playfully, and stuffed it directly into Yan's mouth, as if this could temporarily block the topics that made the atmosphere delicate.

She smiled so brightly, as if the whole world was brightened up because of her: "Sister Yan, let's eat more cakes now. This problem is much more complicated than cakes!"

Sitting on the soft chair in the social hall, although Yan had sweetness in her mouth, her mind was indeed as Xiao Kaixi said, and she was not completely immersed in this delicious taste.

Her gaze swept across Xiao Kaixi's face from time to time, and her deep eyes were filled with complex and unspeakable emotions.

It seems that he wants to see the deeper inner world through little Kaixi's eyes, or perhaps he is looking for the answers in his own heart.

Xiao Kaixi's perception is extremely sharp, how could she not feel Yan's focused and deep gaze?

He lowered his head to avoid the direct gaze, but ripples appeared in his heart.

She knew that Yan was looking at her, and she had seen the look in his eyes.

Suddenly I felt that the half-eaten cake in my hand was no longer fragrant or sweet.

She whispered, "Sister Yan, your eyes always make me feel like I'm being seen through. That feeling is both warm and scary."

"Sometimes I really can't figure out who you like, me or her."

Upon hearing this, Yan paused, gently put down the small cake in her hand, and looked at Xiao Kaixi seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about." Yan ruffled Kaixi's golden hair, messing up the originally smooth golden hair. "Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Sister Yan, your eyes can't deceive me."

The pair of eyes that were once so resolute now showed a little more tenderness and helplessness: "Alas, little one, you have grown up. There are some things that you should know, but I am afraid that knowing them too early will cause you trouble."

Not only Xiao Kaixi thinks this way, Yan sometimes thinks this way too.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

She sighed softly, as if she was sorting out her thoughts, "As for who I like... To be honest, sometimes even I can't figure it out."

Looking at Yan's eyes, Xiao Kaixi couldn't tell whether there was real "love" in them.

But she was willing to believe what Yan said.

Because even Xiao Kaixi himself doesn’t know what he is thinking. Maybe he likes Yan, but it’s not quite the same.

At least, it has not yet reached the point of "love".

Xiao Kaixi nodded, and a smile appeared on her face again: "Okay, Sister Yan, I'll listen to you. But if you look at me like this again in the future, I will misunderstand you!"

In response, Yan just smiled gently, and there was a bit of helplessness and relief in that smile.

She understood that once some emotions arose, it was difficult to simply summarize them as "misunderstandings".

The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Kaixi was indeed no longer so pure. It was intertwined with past confusion, current expectations, and various uncertainties about the future.

"That's right!" Xiao Kaixi's voice suddenly interrupted Yan's thoughts, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Sister Yan, when I return to Tiancheng, I want to take Reina with me."

This sudden request made Yan slightly stunned.

"Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Yan's tone was filled with curiosity and confusion.

She knew that there must be a deeper reason behind Xiao Kaixi's request.

"Reina is my friend! Isn't it normal to bring friends home to play?"

Xiao Kaixi's words sounded relaxed and natural, as if this was just an ordinary decision.

However, Yan could catch a hint of subtle hesitation and nervousness in her eyes.

Yan knew clearly that this was not just a simple invitation between friends.

She didn't quite understand the delicate relationship between Lena and Xiao Kaixi, so she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

But seeing Xiao Kaixi's expectant and determined expression, Yan knew that he couldn't refuse easily.

"Well, since you think so, take her back."

Yan finally let go, but her heart was filled with ripples.

She realized that this return to Tiancheng might be more complicated and subtle than ever before.

Of course, Yan also understood that the reason why Xiao Kaixi made such a request was probably because she had communicated with her teacher Kaisha or Tianji Wang Hexi in advance.

Telling myself now is more like a formal notification than a simple request.

Thinking of this, Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt as if he was involved in a pre-arranged chess game. He took every step carefully, but couldn't escape.

Yan sighed silently in his heart, but kept a faint smile on his face.

Alas, my life is becoming more and more miserable.
