Chapter 778: Chapter 217: The Most Important Promise? (Double-Length)
As soon as she heard this, An Le’s eyes slightly narrowed, and she quickly looked at Yan Huan.
Yan Huan, standing in front of her, also looked directly at her, meeting her gaze,
"So, when we reunited at the comic convention, I didn’t recognize you."
Upon hearing Yan Huan refer to their reunion as happening at the "comic convention" and not earlier, An Le, whose eyes had been narrowed, seemed to regain some composure.
The next second, she blinked and understandingly waved her hand, saying,
"It’s okay, Xiao Huan, after all, it’s been so long... if you didn’t remind me, I probably wouldn’t remember clearly either..."
Saying this, An Le placed her hand on her chest, speaking softly,
"Besides, now that Xiao Huan and I have recognized each other, it’s all good. There’s no need to dwell on it."
"..."
Listening to her words, Yan Huan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
As Yan Huan mentioned, that’s exactly how An Le is.
She obviously remembers clearly, but because you don’t, she’ll actively help you save face, not letting you feel awkward.
In moments like this, exposing her kindness would be cruel to her.
Even if your intention is to stop her from considering you so much and to encourage her to express her own thoughts.
However, from her reaction, it was clear...
The important promise wasn’t the one dreamt about last night.
"I see... then, An Le..."
"As long as Xiao Huan remembers what we agreed on for the last day of the trip, that’s enough."
Just as Yan Huan was about to respond with some small talk and probe into the next promise,
An Le suddenly spoke up.
Her words left Yan Huan momentarily stunned, and he quickly looked up at An Le, only to see her biting her lip with a look of pleading yet unwavering determination.
"..."
It had been mentioned before, this promise that couldn’t be compromised at any cost was indeed the key.
Now, the promise An Le mentioned was exactly like that.
But the problem is, this promise was made before the trip!
It was even made under the influence of the modifier, in an effort to avoid impulsive decisions after losing Chu Nan...
Yan Huan cleared his mind and could swear, he could never have made such a promise to An Le when he was a child!
He wasn’t that twisted, was he?!
"...Ah, of course."
Meeting An Le’s gaze, a slight sweat formed on Yan Huan’s forehead, but he still nodded as if it was perfectly natural.
Hearing Yan Huan’s answer, An Le seemed to breathe a huge sigh of relief,
"Tha... that’s a relief, Xiao Huan..."
"..."
"But, Xiao Huan, I don’t know when we will be done with the Vice President Sakuragi’s matter. What if it’s only the last day when we can return? We won’t have time to prepare..."
An Le pursed her lips, looking somewhat shyly at Yan Huan,
"I... I want to buy some lingerie... to use that day... I don’t know which kind Xiao Huan you... you prefer... but as long as you like it, I’ll wear it for you..."
Hearing this, Yan Huan’s mind almost went blank.
He didn’t even dare to look at An Le’s body, just sitting slightly rigid, trying his best to adhere to the promise’s sense of decorum,
"Um... we saw a shopping place nearby before going up the mountain, if there’s really no time, we could check it out... clothes and such..."
Yan Huan’s wording remained cautious.
He said "clothes," not as straightforward as An Le.
Though it was unclear what meaning this even had.
"Yeah... and... how about a hotel by the seaside that night? There should be sea-view hotels in Tokyo too... no need to worry about the cost, I saved some money myself, and my dad gave me plenty when I left..."
Saying this, An Le quickly took out a credit card from her bag, trying to reassure Yan Huan that there would be no issues, nor any burden on him.
She seemed to fear even the slightest problem might make Yan Huan change his mind and ruin the plan.
But this time, Yan Huan didn’t keep following her lead.
Because he sharply sensed something was off about An Le’s state.
"An Le."
"Eh?"
Hearing Yan Huan call her name, she immediately stopped talking and moving, looking up at Yan Huan with attentive eyes.
Seeing her wide eyes, Yan Huan became increasingly aware something was wrong.
Thus, he spoke with concern,
"An Le, have you... encountered something bad again?"
Yan Huan felt that An Le was lying in a worse state now compared to before coming to Ying Country.
Only that she had been hiding it well these past two days, not showing it in front of Yan Huan, and now her emotions had betrayed her in excitement.
"..."
Facing Yan Huan’s simple question, An Le widened her eyes, freezing in place.
Her lips trembled slightly, seemingly trying to say something.
But the next second, her eyes, which had been fixed on Yan Huan, suddenly shifted, looking behind him.
"!!"
Feeling the shift in her gaze, Yan Huan frowned and turned around as well.
Then he saw on the roof behind him, Lucianna wearing a bathrobe, perched on the eaves with her chin in her hands, looking at the two of them.
It was unclear when she had gotten there.
"You..."
Seeing Yan Huan and An Le both turn their gazes towards her, Lucianna blinked and smiled,
"Ah, it seems I overheard something I shouldn’t have listened to..."
"..."
Yan Huan narrowed his eyes as Lucianna twirled a cherry blossom petal, smiling as she said,
"For instance, your promise to this girl about lingerie and a seaside hotel?"
