Yan Chiyu rested one hand on the armrest of the sofa, casually propping up his chin. His gaze was as languid and indifferent as ever, only softening slightly when speaking to Wu Yue.
"What you're saying is all things I don't know. It seems..." The boy smiled faintly, but there was a hint of danger in his eyes, "Lu Shu, Fu Zhu, and Wen Yao each only have fragmented information. Lu Shu didn't tell me any of this."
Wu Yue found it increasingly strange as she listened, and couldn't help but voice her suspicions, "Don't tell me they thought you knew all this, which is why they didn't tell you. In fact, you know nothing at all."
"clever."
Yan Chiyu nodded expressionlessly, but Wu Yue could clearly see a hint of grievance in his eyes.
"So, Boss, couldn't you just ask?" With Yan Chiyu's status, he could easily extract a lot of information by asking a few questions. Besides, apart from Fuzhu, the other two in that group are either adorably clueless or obsessed with matters of love.
Oh, and there's one that's still in the egg.
Honestly, none of them seem reliable.
Yan Chiyu tapped his cheek absently with his fingers, then blinked, looking innocent and defeated: "If I ask, they'll doubt my identity. I can't possibly have no information at all."
Wu Yue stared at him suspiciously. "I remember Lu Shu saying that you would help them because you were entrusted by someone. Was that person the Mountain and Sea Book God before he disappeared?"
"have no idea."
The boy shook his head, his eyes filled with a clear and bright confusion.
After first portraying himself as an arrogant, cool, and domineering rich second-generation, is he now going to play the role of an innocent and naive young man?
Yan Xiaoyu, I feel I should give you an award.
"I really don't know," Yan Chiyu repeated through gritted teeth. "Really. At the time, I only received an unsigned letter, which I burned after reading it."
Recalling the scene from the past, Yan Chiyu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. "It was probably when I was six or seven years old. A letter appeared on my desk for no reason. I don't know who sent it. It also stole one of my pets."
The conversation veered further and further off course, but Wu Yue had no intention of correcting it.
She blinked. "What pet?" Yan Chiyu didn't seem like the type to keep pets...
"I was young then, and I didn't know what kind it was. I had never seen it before."
Yan Chiyu sat up straight and began to describe it with exaggerated gestures, "It's incredibly cute. It has a pair of beautiful, emerald-like eyes that always stare at you innocently, though it's actually a bit silly. Its water-green body has a faint luster, and it's crystal clear, more beautiful than any gemstone I've ever seen."
It had two tufts of soft, white, cloud-like ears on its head, little arms and short legs... oh, it didn't have legs, and its body was round and plump, about the size of my palm.
At this point, Yan Chiyu even raised his hand for Wu Yue to see. His slender, well-defined hand shone white under the crystal chandelier.
"It used to hop around in a round and chubby way. That's why I named it Green Roller. I never saw Green Roller again after that. It was the one that kept me company when I was little."
After One Piece, Wu Yue discovered that Yan Chiyu also likes cute little creatures. No wonder he could draw Cuihua and Tiezhu so adorably; he clearly has a good foundation in art.
Along with that, she suddenly imagined a scene in her mind of seven-year-old Chi Yu sleeping with the little cutie...
So cute!
The air suddenly went still for 0.5 seconds.
Yan Chiyu suddenly realized what he had said, and immediately wiped the smile off his face, returning to his usual lazy and indifferent demeanor.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, a lingering smile remained in her voice. "Six or seven years old, I think it should be seven. At that time, I didn't understand what the letter meant, and besides, seven years old is too young to do anything. Eleven years later, my dad... well, anyway, after I came here, I remembered the letter from back then. You know what happened after that."
