Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 68 Yanxi
There were clear signs, and he had felt his heart flutter more than once, but he just couldn't react.

It wasn't until Yanxi casually made a joke that she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Heh~"

The smile in his eyes was like splashing water, joyful and unrestrained.

"Hey kid, I'm talking to you, what are you grinning about like an idiot for?"

Even the usually oblivious Yanxi sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but reach out to touch his forehead with some concern. "Could it be that you have a fever?"

"Sister, I don't have a fever, I just realized something important."

"Really?"

Thinking about my younger brother's personality, his mind and heart are full of his research, so the important thing is probably that he'll be talking about work again.

Shaking her head, Yanxi withdrew her hand and advised in the tone of an elder sister, "Yan Xiaoqi, Comrade Yanbei, when we go home to rest, can we please not think about work?"

"You're already in your mid-twenties. If you're as aloof and withdrawn as Mom says, it's a waste of the prettiest face in the family. You should at least give your older siblings some face and... cough, find a boyfriend first?"

Don't think she doesn't know the nasty things the whole compound has been saying.

What's the use of the younger generation of the Yan family being so outstanding, if they're all like they've stumbled upon a den of bachelors?

They're all too picky, unwilling to do this or that. They're all getting on in years, and sooner or later they'll all become leftovers.

Bah, it's utter bullshit, nothing at all!
Those childhood friends, not one of them could fight back; they were as cowardly as mice in front of a cat when they saw her.

Why did she give them this green plum?

If they can really bring themselves to do it, then she'll have to be able to squat down and ride it!
"sister."

Seeing her resentful expression, Yan Bei felt exhausted: I told you, we can't just leave the so-called childhood friends behind, can we?

Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree. They meet again in the prime of their lives, a vow of love sealed with a single document, a promise to stay together through thick and thin, until their hair turns white.

The love story between Ms. Xiang and the "Demon King of Yan University" is beautiful, full of ups and downs, and their legendary love story of missing each other and then having them again could be written into a storybook.

But love can be replicated, right?

How can I persuade my stubborn older sister?
"Ah~"

"Don't sigh at me, it's just my subconscious... you know!"

Reflexively clenching his fists, Yanxi threatened fiercely: "Damn it, I'm tormented by the Great Demon King's sighs every day. Anyone who dares to sigh in front of her, try it out!"

She's not Yan the Demoness if she can't beat him to death!
"Let's go, we're here."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the hotel.

Yanxi quickly tidied his hair and clothes, trying his best to leave the best impression on his younger brother's savior.

……

Standing at the door of the room, even though he had only left that morning, Yan Bei felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and felt a strange tension.

Since meeting Su Ning, in a short period of time, he seemed to have experienced too many emotions that he had never felt in the past twenty-two years.

Before he could even savor it properly, he was already deeply impressed.

The impatient Yanxi yanked the person away from the door: "Is this door some kind of monster that bites people?" He raised his hand, put it down, then raised it again; knocking on a door is such a hassle!

"Sister, wait a minute..."

"Knock knock knock~"

Good guy!
Before she could mentally prepare herself, Yan Bei silently withdrew her hand, her expression instantly returning to its usual cool and composed state as she knocked on the door.

If... it would be even more perfect if the area behind the ears wasn't so hot.

"Knock knock~"

Several more minutes passed, but still no one opened the door.

"What's going on? Is no one here?"

With a suspicious look, Yanxi turned to look at his younger brother. Surely he couldn't be injured and not thinking straight, or he could have forgotten the room?

Having been in the womb for eight or nine months, Yanbei could tell from her eyes that she was internally criticizing him again.

Pressing his temples, the men of the Yan family had never been able to do anything about the women in their household, from top to bottom.

I can't hit him, and I can't bear to scold him either. So what can I do? Just take it.

Pretending not to have seen anything, Yan Bei stepped forward, his voice deep, melodious, and uniquely magnetic, like the sound of a clear spring in winter, "Suning? Suning, are you there?"

"Knock knock, knock knock~"

Did they take Xiaoqiu out to search for the Zhang family?
I told them I'd wait until I finished work before hanging out with them...

Considering Su Ning's personality, after several interactions, my intuition is that he dislikes dragging things out and doesn't want to easily trouble others or owe them favors.

It's quite possible that telling them that was just an excuse.

"Sis, she might..." *Click—*

……

No sooner had Su Ning finished enjoying a delicious meal in the virtual space than she heard a knock on the door.

Faint sounds came from behind the door, it sounded like... Yanbei?
I raised my hand and smelled myself; it smelled of food and meat.

She looked around the room and found that apart from the bed, the table, her suitcase, and the gift boxes she had just bought and unpacked, everything else was clean and there wasn't a trace of food residue.

She quickly returned to her spatial dimension, took a combat shower, changed into a dress, and then immediately flashed to the outer room.

Without bothering to hastily wipe her long, still dripping hair, she quickly went forward and opened the door.

“Yan…”

What? There's one more person than she expected?

Looking at the woman whose bright and beautiful appearance resembled a peach blossom in full bloom in the warm spring of March, who was radiant and flourishing despite the chilly late spring weather.

His gaze swept over Yan Bei and Suning beside him with some surprise: What's going on?
"Su..."

"You must be Su Ning?"

Yan Bei, who was a step behind and had his words stolen, gave Su Ning an apologetic smile, his eyes filled with a gentle and comforting warmth.

Seeing this, Su Ning felt a little relieved and politely nodded and smiled, "I am Su Ning."

“That’s wonderful! I’m Yanxi, Yanbei’s older sister. I’m here on behalf of our whole family to sincerely invite you to our home.”

"?"

She heard everything clearly, but she didn't understand the meaning behind it.

when?
Did Yanbei say he would invite me to his home?
"See, I haven't explained myself clearly. Our elders have specially prepared a banquet to invite you after learning that you saved Yanbei. They want to express their gratitude properly. Please give us a chance to express our thanks, Su Ning!"

So... solemn?
Are you sure you know that the two ribs he broke are still... cough cough~
"Yanbei, didn't we agree to settle this debt of gratitude for saving our lives?"

Slightly embarrassed, Su Ning turned to Yan Xi before he could say anything, "Comrade Yan, we dare not accept this life-saving grace, and there's no need for us to be so polite..."

"How can you say that? There's no way to repay such a life-saving favor, unless Yan Xiaoqi himself pays the price..."

"Yanxi!"

"Hoo~"

Startled, the words that were about to come out changed tone. Yanxi quietly clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking crisply.

Suning, looking completely bewildered: What...what land grabbing?
"Suning, let's not talk about this. Isn't it appropriate to treat him as a friend visiting my home?"

"If you say so..."

Is something still wrong?

"Okay, then you go ahead and get ready. We'll wait for you here."

"..."

Watching her close the door, her eyes still glazed over, Yan Bei couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

God knows what happened when she looked at me with her hair down and her eyes wet with tears.

The surge of emotion he felt at that moment was so overwhelming that he almost couldn't resist reaching out to rub that head that looked so adorable.

If only I could put it in a burlap sack... and just stuff it back in, that would be even better.

"hiss--"

A sharp, tingling pain jolted Yan Bei back to his senses.

Yanxi warned with a forced smile, "This time it's just a small lesson because you're injured. If you dare call me by my full name again, hehe~"

He silently took a few steps away from her, and only after retreating to a safe distance did Yan Bei clasp his hands in a fist and bow, saying, "If you really want me to do what you said in the car, please keep your mouth shut."

What the hell is this "tightly shut mouth" thing?!
What did she say in the car? What was it about?

After running her fingers through her short hair, Yanxi went over everything she had said since getting on the bus. Being intelligent but not fond of studying, she immediately understood.

Look at my younger brother, then look at the closed door.

"Yan Xiaoqi, you've taken a fancy to..."

"cough~"

“I understand!”

Bubbles of gossip seemed to emanate from his entire body, and Yanxi laughed like a mouse that had fallen into a rice granary.

It's so disgusting, I can't even look at it!
"Sis, why don't you go back first?"

"What? I won't get in your way; in fact, I'll be helping you out. You should be secretly happy!"

Yanxi turned around and pouted: If you want to kick me out, you'll have to lock the skylight shut even if it's open!
She's determined to get her hands on Yan Xiaoqi and Yan Bei's gossip! She's got to be in the front row, and nobody can stop her!
