Chapter 1520: Chapter 449: Knot in the Heart (Part 2)
"Okay..."
An Le scooped a bowl full of rice and was about to give him some dishes.
Yan Huan couldn’t stand it anymore and said,
"Let me do it myself."
"Okay~"
An Le nodded and eagerly picked up her chopsticks, eating quickly.
Watching her eat quickly without making a sound, and then glancing at the rice in his own bowl...
Yan Huan felt like the rice in the bowl was like the remaining sand on top of an hourglass, or the seconds ticking away on a countdown.
"Eat quickly, Xiao Huan, is it not tasty?"
"Ugh..."
An Le turned her head, having already eaten half a bowl, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at him with concern.
A gentle hand lightly placed on Yan Huan’s thigh.
"!!"
Yan Huan’s body trembled slightly, and he picked up a small tuft of rice.
He chewed it and then righteously put down the bowl, trying to change the subject and delay,
"By the way, An Le, how are things with your mom and dad?"
"Eh? Actually, it’s much better now."
"Really?!"
Yan Huan was somewhat surprised, while An Le smiled softly, nodding in agreement.
"Ah, nonsense..."
Before she could speak, Little Thumb, holding a small bowl and eating fish at the table, raised its head and said with a dead fish eye,
"Isn’t it the same as before, her dad went back to the convalescent center to take care of her unborn brother...
"During the previous summer vacation, the family forgot to pay the water and electricity bills, so she found out when the electricity went out while she was drawing. She called to remind them to get the power back!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Huan’s expression slightly stiffened.
Looking at An Le, who was somewhat embarrassed and just smirking stupidly, Yan Huan couldn’t help but be startled.
Knowing this topic was a bit heavy, he quickly shoved a few bites of rice to try to change the subject,
"What about your painting? Didn’t you sign with the Golden Lion Group before?"
"Well, indeed, with Golden Lion Entertainment, the work has been going smoothly recently!"
"Is it? That’s great..."
Yan Huan slowed down the speed of his eating a bit, while off to the side, Little Thumb, with its head buried in its bowl, coldly sneered,
"Smooth, my foot... Golden Lion Entertainment signed alright, but there are more demands!
"Previously, all the club’s releases were decided by themselves, now there are deadlines... An Le has to come back to school, where’s the time to paint?
"The pressure on the member group is bigger, and she can’t fully participate yet has to be named, in the group only Miyake Huhu understands her, the rest have quite a few opinions..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Huan’s hand gripping the chopsticks showed green veins.
An Le turned and glared at Little Thumb, then punched it on the head, making it instantly silent,
"Ouch!"
Meow shook its head, pulled over the uneaten food of Little Thumb, and secretly ate it.
At the same time, An Le awkwardly smiled and explained,
"Actually, no one has any opinions about me, it’s just that the work pressure is too big recently, everyone’s really tired, so it’s not as easygoing as before..."
"..."
The atmosphere at the dinner table grew increasingly heavy, and watching An Le’s more pitiful expression as they chatted, Yan Huan silently bowed his head, finishing the meal in a few quick bites.
"Bang!"
Swiftly, he slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table, frowning and said,
"Let’s do it."
"Eh eh?"
Upon hearing this, An Le’s face immediately turned red.
She pressed her lips together, her eyes shimmered with expectant moisture, immediately planning to get up and clean the bowl and chopsticks,
"I... I’ll go wash the dishes..."
"Let Meow do it!"
"Meow?"
Off to the side, the little kitten eating lifted its head, blankly pointing to itself with a paw pad.
Me... Me?
Actually, Yan Huan meant: wash them later.
But who cares, anyway Meow had no objection for now.
Having said that, Yan Huan grabbed An Le by the waist and directly lifted her up.
"Um..."
An Le blushed, cautiously holding Yan Huan’s neck.
As their figures stepped into the bedroom, the door quickly closed, isolating the inside from the outside.
Leaving outside, Meow sat on the table, staring at the tightly closed bedroom door in shock.
"Uh... just now... what just happened...,"
Behind, Little Thumb was still holding its tongue on its mouth after being knocked out by An Le’s punch, dazedly raising its head.
Hearing the sound from behind, Meow blinked and turned back.
Looking at Little Thumb, it turned its eyes.
Swiftly, it raised its paw, pointing at the bowl and chopsticks beside,
"Nothing... oh right, they just asked you to wash the dishes, meow."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Little Thumb widened its eyes, pointing to itself with its tail.
...
...
"Dad... Daddy..."
"What?"
"Um..."
"What’s wrong?"
"I... Um..."
"Hmm?"
"Like..."
"That’s it?"
"Love you... I love you so much..."
"..."
...
...
No one knows how much time has passed, anyway, when Yan Huan regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was An Le’s finger tracing circles on his chest.
"Hey, you’re awake, Xiao Huan?"
"Yeah..."
In the pitch-black room, watching An Le lying contentedly by his side, Yan Huan blinked and immediately rubbed his forehead with a slightly weak arm.
At this moment, he felt like there was a line appearing in the darkness, like a narrator’s note:
Brave hero, this time you didn’t defeat the legendary Demon King, better luck next time~
Well, just kidding.
Didn’t he survive? (Boast)
Besides, An Le is obviously so cute, how could she be called the Great Demon King?
"By the way, Xiao Huan, your phone has been ringing non-stop just now..."
"Alright, I’ll check... huh?"
Listening, Yan Huan suddenly widened his eyes a bit.
