Weird Fantasy Invasion

Ye Shiyu kept looking at Yan Huan who was standing next to Ye Lan, motionless and silent.

It was not until Ye Lan pouted her lips to urge her to be more polite that she greeted Yan Huan like a slow machine.

"Hello, I'm Ye Shiyu."

Just as Ye Lan had laid out before, Ye Shiyu's personality seemed very strange, which made Yan Huan feel more and more uneasy.

Ye Lan was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Shiyu's reaction, but she knew her daughter very well and knew that this was what she would say.

Aunt Chen quickly took over the conversation, wiped the water off her hands with her apron, and said,

"Since Xiao Huan is here, shall we eat now? The dishes are ready. I prepared Dragon Country dishes especially for Xiao Huan. I don't know if they suit his taste. Aunt Chen doesn't know much about Linmen, so I don't know what you like to eat."

"I can eat anything, Aunt Chen."

"That's great. Wait a moment. Miss, you and Xiao Huan take a seat first. I'll bring the dishes."

Ye Lan smiled and nodded, then turned to Ye Shiyu and said,

"Shiyu, put your things back in the room and come down to eat."

Ye Shiyu just stared at the boy with the sunny smile. After hearing her mother's words, she nodded slowly, turned around and went upstairs again with the scissors in hand.

The sound of Ye Lan and Yan Huan talking intermittently could be heard from below. Ye Shiyu walked up the stairs to the third floor with an expressionless face and stopped in front of the door of the second bedroom at the end, not far from the master bedroom.

When I opened the door, I found that the originally spacious room seemed a little crowded because there were too many things in it.

However, in the glass cabinets against the wall of the room, there were various female dolls wearing exquisite costumes, movable soldiers with realistic appearances, movable figures in a two-dimensional style, not to mention an unknown number of other puppets, pottery dolls and clay dolls.

There was even a life-size doll wearing a gorgeous Gothic dress sitting on a wooden chair next to the bed.

The exquisitely crafted clothes on these dolls are of different shapes, but the only thing they have in common is that the names are written in tiny words by the makers, either on the inside of the corners of the clothes or on the hidden collars.

"Ye Shiyu"

Ye Shiyu placed the scissors in her hand next to the sewing box with an expressionless face. On the table was a piece of high-end fabric that had not yet been sewn. On the handle of the scissors, there was also Juanxiu's name written on it.

"Ye Shiyu"

She picked up the phone on the table, slid it to unlock it, and revealed the chat software that was not closed before the lock screen. It was showing a chat window with Ye Lan, and the note was "Mom".

"Baby, mom will bring Yan Huan, whom I mentioned earlier, home for dinner later. Ask Aunt Chen to prepare it well."

"Okay, I've said it."

"His mother used to be my best friend. When we were little, I often showed you pictures of his mother. Do you remember?"

"Ah."

"He has lived alone in Linmen for so many years and it's been very hard. Mom wants him to live with us, in the guest room downstairs. What do you think?"

Ye Shiyu did not reply, but Ye Lan sent several messages in a row.

"He is only one year younger than you. You should have a common language. Besides, you go to the same school and can go to and from school together."

"This way, I can have someone to keep me company, and I don't have to stay with the doll every day like I do in China."

"Another brother sounds good, don't you think, babe?"

"Mom wants to hear your opinion."

Until now when Ye Shiyu turned on her phone, there was no other reply.

Ye Shiyu closed the chat software, revealing a desktop background picture of a puppet wearing gorgeous clothes.

And above that background, every mobile phone application is neatly planned and placed in various finely classified folders. For Ye Shiyu, using the mobile phone in this way seems to be more handy.

However, outside of all the carefully classified folders, there was only a strange APP with a purple heart icon standing alone.

The APP didn’t have any name and floated on the phone’s desktop like a bug.

Ye Shiyu just stared at the app, as if in a daze, until Ye Lan's voice came from outside the door again.

"Shiyu, come out for dinner! Are you not ready yet?"

"."

After a moment of silence, Ye Shiyu seemed to have made a decision in her heart. She then pressed the lock screen button, put her phone in her pocket, turned around and walked out of the room.

"Coming, Mom."

Chapter 5 She said she was here to add contact information

Aunt Chen served a dazzling array of delicious food on the table, and just smelling the ethereal fragrance made people subconsciously salivate.

He glanced at the food on the plate, and turned around to find that Ye Lan, who had come upstairs to change into a home cotton short shirt and had her long hair loose, was sitting on the main seat at the side, holding her chin and looking at him with a smile.

"Are you hungry, little greedy cat? Wait for Aunt Chen to bring the dishes and chopsticks over, and then we can start eating when Shiyu arrives."

The smiling eyes and the intimate address made Yan Huan feel shy for the first time in a long time. He avoided Ye Lan's gaze and prepared to get up to help Aunt Chen get the dishes and chopsticks.

"Then I'll go and help Aunt Chen bring it over."

"No need, Xiao Huan, just sit down, I've already brought it."

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks, and placed them on the seats next to Ye Lan, Yan Huan and him in turn.

Only three bowls and three pairs of chopsticks?

Just when Yan Huan thought that Aunt Chen would not eat with them, Aunt Chen turned around and went back to the kitchen, came back with a pair of pure black porcelain bowls and stainless steel chopsticks, and placed them opposite Yan Huan.

Yan Huan looked at it blankly, and then he found that the black porcelain bowl, which was different from the others, had a line of beautiful white characters engraved on it.

"Ye Shiyu"

The same name was written in small characters on the end of each of the stainless steel chopsticks.

Yan Huan looked at Ye Lan in confusion, but only got a helpless smile from her in response. Aunt Chen, who was sitting next to Yan Huan with a smile, explained for him.

"This is a set of porcelain that Shiyu specially asked someone to make in the Porcelain Capital in Longguo. She also made it for us and brought it back. But she is the only one who likes to use black. Her mother and I think black doesn't look good, so we use ordinary bowls."

“Are the stainless steel chopsticks also specially made?

"Oh, that's not it. It's just the chopsticks I bought. It's just that Shiyu has a habit of writing her name on her things. Oh, she has to write her name on every item. Every time she comes back from shopping, it takes a long time to do this."

Aunt Chen scooped rice and poured drinks for the others, saying,

"Besides, she would never throw away anything that belonged to her, unless it was completely useless. If she accidentally lost something, she would keep looking for it until she found it."

What kind of strange habit is this?

Yan Huan blinked and thought so.

Ye Lan's expression became more helpless, but she did not belittle her daughter's stubborn habit. Instead, she said optimistically,

"She's gotten much better since she entered high school. If it's not something extremely valuable, she would give it up if she couldn't find it. This shows that your sister Shiyu really values ​​everything she gets. I think this is a good quality."

"If I had a habit like my sister, I wouldn't have been criticized by my junior high school teacher for being forgetful."

Yan Huan echoed, and Ye Lan smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.

There were barely perceptible footsteps coming from the stairs next to him. Ye Lan turned around and saw Ye Shiyu coming down. She waved and said with a smile,

"Shiyu, come and eat."

"Ah."

Ye Shiyu nodded, still with no expression on her face, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. She just sat opposite Yan Huan and gently held the glass.

And the next second, just as she expected, Ye Lan smiled and raised the cup and said to Yan Huan,

"Then let's start having dinner. Come, welcome Xiao Huan to our home. Cheers."

"Thank you auntie."

"Be good, don't say thank you to auntie."

Ye Shiyu also raised her glass and gently clinked it with Ye Lan, Aunt Chen, and finally Yan Huan.

But she just took a small sip, then licked her lips with her tongue.

This was the signal for dinner to begin.

Ye Shiyu held the black bowl in her left hand, and her white and powdered fingertips slowly stroked the name engraved on the bowl, watching her mother frantically pick up food for Yan Huan and herself.

Ye Lan's family did not have the habit of not talking while eating, and the topics discussed at family dinners were usually simple. Aunt Chen would often interrupt and ask about trivial matters, such as the vegetables in the supermarket were not fresh.

It was only after Ye Lan reminded her that she realized that Linmen was on the sea, there was basically no arable land, and all the vegetables were shipped from abroad.

Ye Shiyu ate slowly and elegantly without saying a word.

As for Ye Lan, she was more concerned about Yan Huan, asking him more about school matters that she had not asked in the car, and intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the direction that his peers were interested in.

"Do you rely on school buses to pick you up and drop you off at school?"

"Yes, Auntie. There are routes in every district, including the Jinghe District, but it seems to be quite far from here. Students living in the nearby communities probably don't need to take the campus bus."

"Yes, it would be faster to pick up Shiyu from school and save commuting time. But I'm very busy on weekdays and don't have much time, so I can only arrange a separate car to pick up Shiyu."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yan Huan vaguely felt that Ye Lan had been laying the groundwork for words that had not yet been spoken.

As Ye Lan was talking, he put down his chopsticks as if he suddenly remembered something, and suggested to Yan Huan with bright eyes,

"Yes, Xiao Huan, how about you come and stay at your aunt's house?"

"what?"

"You are classmates in the same school and are about the same age. This way you can go to school with Shiyu, and you don't have to rush to catch the bus every morning and evening. Aunt Chen can also take care of breakfast and dinner at home. How about preparing desserts for you to take to school, Xiaohuan?"

Yan Huan paused while eating, he blinked and looked at Ye Lan who was full of hope, and suddenly he understood why she told the principal that she was her "mother" when she was in school.

Ye Lan came to see Yan Huan not only to reminisce about the past and commemorate his deceased mother, she came here to adopt Yan Huan.

Does Ye Lan have any other impure purposes?

No, not at all.

If you insist on saying there is something, it's just as she said, that she hopes he can take better care of Ye Shiyu, her sister with a weird temper, that's all.

Besides, she is the person in charge of Ye International in Linmen, and Yan Huan is just a high school student. No matter if you are the student union president or an outstanding student, she doesn't need to have any other purpose.

There was one and only one reason why she did this, and that was simply because she regarded Yan Huan, the child of her deceased best friend, as a relative and wanted to take care of him.

And to be more realistic, from what we have seen so far, it can be seen that Ye Lan is worth a lot of money. Anyone with a toe to think about it should kneel down and acknowledge her as his mother and become "Gao Qiqiang's Linmen branch leader."

But, Gul'dan, at what cost?
