Looking at An Yan’s confused eyes full of trust, Cheng Yang couldn’t help but spit on himself now that he had agreed to his big brother’s shameless request.
“Well …… I was planning to take a nap.” Cheng Yang said with a heart full of guilt.
An Yan yawned, “Then go to sleep, I’ll wake you up later.”
Cheng Yang lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
It was almost time for class by the time An Yan woke him up.
On the way to the classroom, Cheng Yang turned on the video function of his light brain with a guilty conscience.Â
An Yan did not notice Cheng Yang’s actions. He began to catefully prepare for the next lesson when he arrived at the classroom.Â
He didn’t notice the odd looks he received from the other students in the classroom. But it was obvious that word of what had happened earlier had spread throughout the major.
Their first reaction was that they were surprised when they first heard about the incident. After all, none of them expected An Yan to react like that under those circumstances.
But then, on reflection, An Yan’s actions didn’t seem to be a problem at all. Not only did it avoid a pointless argument, but it also effectively safeguarded his reputation. It was probably the quickest and most effective solution to the problem, right?
His fellow students discussed the incident at lunchtime for a long time in private, but the incident itself did not affect An Yan in any way.
As far as he was concerned, he had merely refused a challenge when the rules allowed him to do so. Wasn’t that a normal thing?
For the next few days, everything was calm and quiet, apart from the inevitable attention.
It was not until a week later that Cheng Yi invited An Yan to his flat and asked a question: “Yan Yan, did you ever come into contact with an E-grade body potion when you were working part-time at the pharmacy? And in the process, did you do anything unusual? “
An Yan Yan’s eyes widened slightly. “How did Senior know about this?”
“It’s like this: At Yang Yang’s birthday banquet, Zhao Xinxin gave him a high grade body potion and she claimed to have made it herself, ” Cheng Yi briefly described the whole incident, “but later on, due to some problems, I found out that she might not have made that potion. I traced the source of the potion and found that it came from a pharmacy, which was where you part-timed. In addition, this potion was sold at the shop with the batch you were in charge of testing. “
An Yan stalled for a moment. After carefully digesting these words, he told Cheng Yi what happened that day in detail, blaming himself, “It was my fault that caused that kind of accident at that time. I didn’t expect things to turn out like that. “
 Cheng Yi couldn’t help but cry and laugh on seeing that An Yan’s first reaction was to blame himself. How could his little one be so innocent and cute?
“Have you ever considered that the reason that an E-grade potion was transformed into a high-grade potion was most likely due to your actions?” Cheng Yi asked.
An Yan tilted his head. “But even if that’s the case, I shouldn’t have made a mistake in the operation. I didn’t make that potion, so whether it turned into a high-grade potion or not has nothing to do with me. “
Cheng Yi was unable to refute his words.
Well, the point was, “Then what do you think about Zhao Xinxin’s act of taking other people’s potions as hers?”
An Yan immediately said, “That kind of behaviour is, of course, wrong and needs to be apologised for and corrected.”
An Yan paused for a moment before asking weakly, “Then, shouldn’t I also go and apologise to the maker of this potion for my mishandling?”
Cheng Yi: “……” It is certain that this topic can not be communicated properly.
“I’ll take care of this matter. Yan Yan should just focus on his studies, ” Cheng Yi was helpless and could only change the subject, “Has Yan Yan encountered any problems in his studies recently?”
An Yan’s response was much more normal on this topic: “It’s true that I’m struggling a little bit, but I have recorded the classroom content so I can supplement my studies after class, so that is not a big problem. I think my biggest problem right now is that what is taught in the books is completely different from what I have experienced. This leaves me unsure which one to choose to believe. “
The books said that in order to make a body potion, one had to consider the animal traits first, and choose a corresponding spiritual power that must possess a shocking or suppressing effect on the said animal traits. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the body potion to work.
But there was the fact that An Yan had used his own spiritual power to create many high-quality body potions that had no restrictions on who could use them.
It was contradictory to the information described in the books, but the facts were right in front of him. This made it hard for An Yan to believe the books, even if he wanted to.
Cheng Yi gave An Yan a deep look and said softly, “That is because you are special. This conflict will only arise when it comes to you. “
An Yan, however, shook his head seriously, “I don’t think it’s like that. I think that the variability of this matter has nothing to do with me, but rather the information in the books is wrong.”
Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow: “Oh? Why do you say that?”
“Because I’m a hamster……” An Yan was startled and quickly changed his words, “Because I’m a person who carries the characteristics of a hamster on my body, so I know very well how terrible a body potion for hamster characteristics is to me. Its oppressive nature causes great physical damage as well as a burden on the mind. So, I think the side effects from body potions are related to this.”
It was the first time Cheng Yi had heard someone describe the effects caused by the body potion in this way, but he surprisingly felt some truth to this statement.
Although humans were reluctant to admit that the animal characteristics on their bodies belonged to them, there was no doubt about it.
The animal traits that each person exhibits are inherently part of who they are, and that doesn’t change even if they are temporarily hidden.
And while the repressive nature of the body potion may seem to be acting on the animal traits on the body, it was still a form of repression and that was harm to the human body.
Cheng Yi pondered for a moment and continued to ask, “Then what does Yan Yan think the body potion should be made of?”
An Yan thought about it for a moment, and a longing look appeared on his face: “I think a body potion should start with the preferences of the animal traits that humans themselves carry, and use them to create a body potion with better results. For example, potions for humans with hamster characteristics should have things hamsters like, such as greens, melons, fruits, and so on.”
Cheng Yi was amused by the cute little expression on An Yan’s face, and deliberately teased him, “But if that’s the case, what if the hamster characteristics are further stimulated, and the human actually becomes a hamster?”
This remark was only meant to tease An Yan, but his eyes lit up fiercely, “Is that really the case?!”
Cheng Yi let out a low laugh, “Does Yan Yan really want to turn himself into a hamster?”
An Yan came back to his senses and realised that his reaction didn’t seem right. He hastily remedied the situation, “Of course not, I…… just didn’t think it would be possible before.”
Cheng Yi carefully looked at An Yan from top to bottom and said, “It doesn’t seem to be a bad thing if Yan Yan really did turn into a little hamster.”
“What…… why ah?” An Yan asked a little apprehensively. Could it be that Cheng Yi doesn’t hate hamsters?
Cheng Yi chuckled and stared at An Yan’s abdomen. “A hamster can be roasted and eaten, right?”
An Yan: ……QAQ Help!
An Yan was so terrified that he immediately held out his chest and tucked in his belly. His small face was a suffocating red: “Don’t… don’t eat me. I don’t taste good! “
Cheng Yi was completely amused by An Yan. He was just deliberately teasing the little one. Unexpectedly, An Yan took it seriously.
“I’m just kidding,” Cheng Yi said with a smile. “Even if Yan Yan really turns into a hamster, I wouldn’t want to eat him.”
However, the previous words were so damaging that the soothing effect of these words was close to zero. An Yan swallowed silently, “Senior, I …… suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I’ll go back first.”
Cheng Yi held his chin as he watched An Yan’s running figure and seriously reflected on it. Were his words really that scary? It doesn’t seem so…
An Yan was really scared by Cheng Yi’s words. He thought Cheng Yi was really going to eat him!
Fortunately, he was now in human form. Otherwise, he might really be roasted, steamed, boiled, or fried and eaten by humans. Just thinking about it made An Yan shiver.
An Yan soon had another thought after the fear had dissipated.
If Cheng Yi was right, then couldn’t he use the body potion to change back into his hamster form?
He came to this world because of a discarded potion. If he acted in reverse, maybe he could really do it?
Although it was a very dangerous thing to be in hamster form in this world, he could not suppress the idea once it came up.
