Right away, she suddenly broke into a bright smile, hugging her like a good friend,

"Yes, yes, I even took her to choose the makeup~"

"..."

Ye Shiyu's expressionless face, which represented shyness, gradually faded. When she looked at Bai Yi, that expressionless face was already full of sharpness...

Well, Yan Huan also didn't understand why there were so many expressions of expressionlessness, but he felt it anyway.

At this moment, Ye Shiyu seemed to silently say,

"Why are you talking so much?"

Bai Yi continued to stick close to her, even with a friendly smile on her face like a good friend.

But in reality, she also silently sneered,

"Did I say something wrong? Didn't I pick it out?"

"..."

Ye Shiyu said nothing, only her eyes gradually turned purple.

"Ah haha, actually, she picked out quite a few herself~"

Bai Yi immediately backed down, letting go of Ye Shiyu's hand, and pretended to be busy by clasping her hands behind her back, acting like a leader at Linmen, turning her head to inspect the bookstore.

In front of him, Yan Huan pinched his chin and carefully looked at Ye Shiyu, then gave a thumbs up,

"This makeup suits you, Sister Shiyu... it's really beautiful."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu's eyes widened slightly.

A second later, they gradually returned to normal.

She nodded her head and said "Hmm" softly.

As she nodded, the black hair she had tucked back shook and fell again, catching Yan Huan's attention.

That's when he noticed her earlobes had turned pink, faintly visible through strands of black hair.

Seeing this, Yan Huan didn't expose her, only turning his gaze to Bai Yi, who was serving the Linmen people,

"Thanks, Bai Yi."

Hearing Yan Huan's words, Bai Yi's shoulders trembled slightly.

Then she turned around, pouted, pulled down her sunglasses a bit, and looked at Yan Huan with beautiful eyes full of hesitation and consideration,

"Well, it's nothing... more than that, this morning... you could've just told me what you were up to today, instead of... just saying 'I have plans'... whatever..."

"Sorry, it's just that the plan I and Sakuragi came up with was a surprise secretly prepared for their reconciliation."

Yan Huan dug into his brain and retrieved the prepared draft he had saved earlier,

"No one was told in advance because if we did, it might get leaked to others.

"After all, you're also close with An Le, and if she knew, it wouldn't be good...

"But now that you know, why don't you join in and play inside? We've got some activities and so on prepared."

Very close...

Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi simultaneously looked at An Le not far away, only to see her eyes hollow, staring at them like a ghost.

"Is it okay, An Le?"

But in the next second, when Yan Huan turned back, her hollow eyes were hidden behind a crescent-like smile,

"Mm..."

Yan Huan noticed the change in her expression with his peripheral vision and felt like giving her a thumbs-up.

She was more of a veteran actor than a veteran actor...

"Then let's..."

"Go."

Bai Yi was still hesitating, but Ye Shiyu directly lifted her leg and followed Yan Huan into the bookstore.

An Le stood at the door with a stiff smile, clearing the way.

Spencer didn't mind. Now that she finally made up with An Le, she was in a very good mood.

"..."

Ye Shiyu glanced at An Le as she walked by and entered the bookstore.

"Yan Huan was the one who invited us in, don't cause trouble..."

Only Bai Yi cautiously threatened.

After speaking, she quickly sped up her pace to catch up with Yan Huan.

"..."

An Le watched them leave, and the expression she had put on started to slowly melt away.

She wiped away the sweat from her forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

Her "modifier" was now weak to the extreme, relying solely on past feats to bluff.

If it really came to a fight, she wouldn't stand a chance against either Ye Shiyu or Bai Yi.

But fortunately...

She got through it.

She wondered how Xiao Huan did it. No matter if it was memory correction or the inside story of the "modifier," his performance was flawless.

Could it be that Xiao Huan had a talent for this?

"Come on, they've already started eating the cake!"

"Eh? Oh... okay."

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the cake-loving Spencer, and An Le blinked and promptly walked into the bookstore.

...

...

Although it was originally to prepare a surprise and help An Le and Spencer reconcile by gathering so many people,

It seemed that Sakuragi rented this place for the entire day and also prepared cake and drinks...

Since everyone shares the same interests, being in such a large bookstore that's like a treasure trove with things to eat and drink,

the atmosphere in the bookstore became not only lively but even more animated after cutting the cake.

"Wow! Hey, hey, hey, look, they've really released a new volume of this!"

"Oh, really... has the Different World species series reached this chapter?"

"Hehe, that female Holy Knight has already..."

A few boys were eating cake and flipping through comics while seated.

On the other side, some women were gathered around An Le, watching her teach Spencer how to draw.

"Teacher Ping Xi is still as sharp as ever! Looks like we can soon see a new work from the teacher! The teaching pace is really quick!"

"Hehe, is this cosplayer teacher going to draw QQ people? QQ people are so cute..."

"Hiss... big-headed avatars aren't bad either..."

"Hmm... furry art does have its reasons..."

"What's a Golden Bomb Pig?"

Yan Huan licked off some cream and put down his empty plate.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Shiyu's tall figure standing alone behind a bookshelf in the distance, seemingly choosing and reading something.
