"Aunt Ye, please take care and rest."
Watching Ye Lan leave, the smile on Yan Huan's face faded slightly as he walked upstairs, calling out,
"Meow-chan."
"Meow?"
On his shoulder, Meow-chan appeared ghostly and looked at Yan Huan.
"You mentioned before that there's a price for the host using the modifier, what exactly does that mean?"
"Just what it says, meow..."
Meow-chan twitched its tail, speaking adorably,
"Modifiers have no emotions, no wisdom, only instinct. In their eyes, the host is merely a tool to achieve their goals.
"Such powerful superpowers often accompany unforeseen consequences, and these consequences cannot be borne by the modifiers."
Yan Huan thought about Spencer's case and speculated,
"Like Spencer, her modifier's price is being disliked..."
"It would be nice if the so-called price was always that small, meow."
Hearing this, Yan Huan frowned, turning to meet Meow-chan's emerald green eyes,
"Yan Huan, the more you use the modifier, the more severe the consequences will become, meow."
"..."
At this moment, Yan Huan stopped in front of his door.
Complete silence.
...
...
Afternoon, Luqiao District, Baihe Tumor Hospital entrance.
An Le changed into a beautiful white gauze dress, with a beige cardigan over it, standing cautiously on the street side, seemingly waiting for someone's arrival.
Behind her, several old tall buildings faintly conveyed noise.
Many staff from Golden Lion Entertainment and TV station reporters were already waiting at the entrance, discussing venue-related matters with the hospital.
"Director Chen, we previously agreed on having a stage..."
"Well, it's like this. Some patients' families heard about it and didn't cooperate, feeling it's inappropriate, and have been complaining for days."
Director Chen, wearing glasses and looking displeased, was discussing with Golden Lion Entertainment staff, apparently having changed his mind last minute,
"So here's the thing, can we free up the activity room? Those willing can attend on-site, and those unwilling can watch the broadcast."
"How can we do that? What about our TV station interview, if no one comes our artists will have to sing to an empty space? We can't even get photos with patients..."
"..."
A black sedan approached the hospital, inside, Jiang Xiong, driving, listened to Bai Yi's chatter from the back,
"Well, initially only Yan Huan was invited, but who knew..."
"Who knew he would invite another girl?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately sat up indignantly and said,
"And not just any girl! It's a childhood friend!!"
"Childhood friend?"
"Yes, yes, even in this age, childhood friends are really strange, right? And not just any childhood friend!"
Bai Yi angrily waved her fists, clearly showing her anger,
"They... actually slept together when they were kids! Shameless!"
Jiang Xiong was speechless, looking in the rearview mirror, saying,
"Didn't you say they were young? What do kids know about these things?"
"What if... what if An Le matured early?"
"...That would be way too early!"
"I think you're just jealous."
"I am not."
"Hm hm."
Jiang Xiong was about to turn into the hospital, when he suddenly saw the girl standing at the entrance looking at her phone,
"Yiyi, look at that girl, isn't she the An Le you mentioned?"
"Huh?"
Bai Yi turned to look outside the window, then immediately ducked down, with a mix of resentment, she nodded,
"Yes, it's her!"
"How about inviting her to join us in the car and go inside together?"
"No way!"
Jiang Xiong smiled slightly, as if he'd hit Bai Yi's weak spot, saying,
"If you don't invite her in, she'll meet up with Yan Huan and go in together, chatting and laughing all the way."
"..."
As soon as Jiang Xiong spoke, Bai Yi quietly rolled down the rear window.
"An Le!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing someone call her, An Le immediately stood a bit straighter.
She then looked around, searching for who had called her.
After searching, she finally saw Bai Yi sitting in the back seat, smiling widely on the roadside,
"Bai Yi...?"
"Yes, it's me. You came so early?"
"Ah, because my home is in Luqiao District, so..."
Before An Le could finish explaining, Bai Yi cheerfully invited,
"Join me inside first, we'll wait for Yan Huan backstage."
Upon hearing this, An Le blinked, then nodded and answered,
"Okay."
Once she got into the back seat with Bai Yi, she greeted Jiang Xiong,
"Hello, uncle."
"Ah, hello."
Jiang Xiong smiled slightly and drove into the Tumor Hospital.
Sitting beside Bai Yi, An Le discreetly focused her gaze on Bai Yi, making Bai Yi feel an inexplicable discomfort.
It felt like being watched by a venomous snake.
Bai Yi furrowed her brow, turning to look at An Le, but saw only the harmless and shy An Le, like a little white rabbit.
"..."
Seeming uneasy under Bai Yi's gaze, An Le pressed her lips together and started a conversation,
"By the way, Bai Yi, how did you and Xiao Huan meet?"
Oh?
This little rabbit actually asks such direct questions?
Bai Yi was a bit surprised but replied with a smile,
"Actually, Yan Huan is my fan, but I didn't attend school much last semester, so we only connected this semester."
"Fan?"
An Le blinked, recalling things from childhood.
Actually, back then at the milk tea shop, she said Yan Huan was her fan only to prove her close relationship with Yan Huan.
After all, Xiao Huan always had strange tastes.
She wore rustic clothes that her parents rated zero, only Yan Huan thought were worth seven or eight out of ten.
During New Year when she sang, her parents laughed, only Yan Huan found her singing good.
This made An Le remember it until now.
Now Bai Yi also claims Xiao Huan is her fan.
Could it be that Bai Yi's reaction before was because of this?
"..."
An Le secretly wondered if Bai Yi had superpowers, but Bai Yi turned to look at An Le and suddenly asked,
"Oh right, when are you supposed to meet Yan Huan?"
"No specific place mentioned, just said to meet at the hospital. Probably he'll ask when he arrives..."
"Oh~"
Bai Yi took out her phone and smiled,
"What a coincidence, me too."
"Really..."
"Hmm, I wonder who he'll contact first to ask?"
An Le was checking her phone for messages when Bai Yi's words suddenly made her pause.
Yes, neither of them mentioned where to meet Yan Huan.
Could it mean that whoever Yan Huan messages first shows who he cares about more?
"..."
Hearing Bai Yi's seemingly nonchalant inquiry, An Le turned her head to look at her smiling face.
After staring for several seconds, An Le opened her phone and showed it to Bai Yi, softly saying,
"Uh... Xiao Huan seemed to ask me where I am? How should I reply, Bai Yi?"
Sitting beside her, Bai Yi held her silent phone with a hint of surprise on her face.
She then immediately looked at her phone incredulously.
