An Yan had a good night’s sleep and had breakfast with An Mu the next morning. When it was almost time, he went to the Chengs with the gifts he had prepared.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Cheng Yi standing in front of his house.
An Yan couldn’t help but be surprised. “Senior, why are you here?”
Cheng Yi smiled lightly and took two steps forward. “I came to pick you up.”
“Senior is too kind.” An Yan remembered that Cheng Yi had always come alone when he visited, and yet he had now come to pick him up. An Yan couldn’t help but feel touched.
Cheng Yi must have been worried that he would be nervous, so he came over specially.
The two soon arrived at the Cheng family home. An Yan walked in after Cheng Yi, and he saw several people sitting in the living room as soon as he looked up.
“Yan Yan is here!” Cheng Yang was the first to come up, taking An Yan’s hand and walking inside.
The rest of the Cheng family also stood up and took the initiative to welcome them.
An Yan was a junior, and they didn’t need to be polite as elders. However, An Yan had helped Cheng Yi so much, he was considered a benefactor of the Cheng family. They naturally had to be more considerate in their attitude.
As for Grandpa Cheng, in addition to Cheng Yi’s reasons, An Yan was also his life-saving benefactor. So he obviously had a high regard for An Yan.
An Yan was a bit flattered to see everyone coming to him.
He was still a little uncomfortable, although he had already spent time with Cheng Yi’s parents in his hamster form and met him in his human form.
Or rather, it was because of these experiences that An Yan felt a little awkward at this point.
Cheng Yi quietly blocked the little one behind him and said in a soft, soothing voice, “Don’t be afraid, they all love you.”
An Yan nodded and took a deep breath. He quickly adjusted his mood and smiled as she took the initiative to greet several people. “Hello Grandpa Cheng, hello Uncle Cheng, hello Auntie Cheng, hello Yang Yang. My name is An Yan, and I’m Cheng Yi’s friend. ”
Grandpa Cheng smiled and nodded, “How are you, Yan Yan?”
Cheng Li, on the other hand, hurriedly escorted him to sit down, “Quickly sit down. Don’t be formal. Just treat this place as your own home.
An Yan nodded obediently. He began to take the gifts out of the space button after sitting down, introducing them one by one. “Grandpa Cheng, this is a massage chair for you. I heard from the guide that this massage chair is very good. It can relieve body fatigue very well, and it can also…. ”
The entire living room was in a happy atmosphere by the time the gifts for Grandpa Cheng, Father Cheng, and Mother Cheng, including Cheng Yang, were all taken out one by one.
In addition to the gifts An Yan had bought, he also presented each of them with a high quality potion. Judging by everyone’s reaction, it seems that they all liked the potions a bit more than those expensive gifts.
During this process, Cheng Yi kept watching An Yan pull out the gifts, waiting for his.
His mood gradually became worse as he saw the rest of the family, including Cheng Yang, all getting their gifts and thanking and praising the little one.
It didn’t matter that his gift was behind his grandfather’s, father’s, or mother’s. But how come even Cheng Yang’s ahead of his?
Just at this time, An Yan looked around and enquired, “Senior, is Steward Liu here?”
Cheng Yi was a little puzzled but still nodded, “He’s here. What’s wrong?”
An Yan took out a fine looking tea set from the space button and said, “This is a gift I bought for Steward Liu. He has helped me before and I want to thank him personally. ”
Cheng Yi’s face completely darkened at these words. So even Steward Liu’s gift had been brought out, but it was not yet his turn?
An Yan was startled by Cheng Yi’s expression and asked carefully, “Is there something wrong with me doing this? If it’s inappropriate, then I’d better… ”
“There’s nothing inappropriate.” Although his mood was about to hit rock bottom, Cheng Yi still used his light brain to call Steward Liu over.
This was the third time that Steward Liu had seen An Yan. The first was when An Yan came to the Cheng family as a part-time worker. The second was when the eldest young master invited him to the house as a guest, and he hadn’t seen him since.
So Steward Liu was touched when he stood in front of An Yan and found out that not only did he still remember him, but he had even bought a gift especially for him.
The only fly in the ointment was that the eldest young master’s look seemed a little off. It felt chilly.
But even so, the coolness did not affect his good mood when he received the gift.
Steward Liu took the tea set with great joy and thanked him with special sincerity. “Thank you, Young Master An Yan. I like this tea set very much.”
An Yan also smiled happily. “It’s good that Steward Liu likes it.”
It should be said that everyone in the living room was happy, except for the one who hadn’t received the gift yet.
After receiving his gift, Steward Liu wanted to talk more with the clever and sensible boy who knew how to be grateful, but the eldest young master sent him off to the kitchen before he could say anything.
Although he felt a little regretful, he would have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas in the future, so Steward Liu happily left with his gift in his arms.
When he had left, An Yan sat down again in a good mood, only to turn his head and meet Cheng Yi’s deep eyes.
“Yan Yan.” Cheng Yi’s eyes and voice were almost overflowing with grievances.
Although he didn’t ask for the gift directly, his attitude was already very obvious.
But An Yan, who was about to take out the gift, was a little hesitant when Cheng Yi looked at him like that. Wouldn’t Cheng Yi be unhappy when he saw that the gift he had bought for him was not too expensive?
Cheng Yi did not know what the little one was thinking, and his hesitation made Cheng Yi even more aggrieved.
Cheng Yi couldn’t be angry with the little one, but the jealousy in his heart had started to crazily bubble up.
Cheng Yi sighed inwardly and took the initiative to change the subject, “Does Yan Yan want something to drink? I’ll go and help you… ”
“Wait a minute,” An Yan interrupted Cheng Yi with a bit of apprehension, “I …… have prepared some gifts for you, but I don’t know if you’ll like them.”
Cheng Yi’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten up at these words, “What kind of gifts did Yan Yan buy for me?”
Only then did An Yan start to take out the gifts for Cheng Yi from the space button: “I saw these clothes when I was shopping…you said you liked this style, so I bought it. As for these shoes, I remember that you had a pair of shoes in the same style, and they looked good on you. This pair should look good on you too ……”
After introducing these gifts one by one, An Yan admitted, with a bit of apprehension, “But… but these things are not expensive. If you don’t like them…”
An Yan’s words stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence because as soon as he looked up, he met Cheng Yi’s frighteningly bright eyes, which seemed to have a thousand words written in them.
An Yan felt his heart leap, and he was a little stunned.
Then a chuckle filled with joy came, and An Yan came back to his senses. He subconsciously averted his eyes, but his face inexplicably began to burn: “You……. what are you laughing at? If you don’t like them, I can buy you a new gift. ”
“I like them very much, very much.” Cheng Yi’s voice was low and focused, with a hint of a smile. It made An Yan’s ears start to flush and burn as well.
An Yan couldn’t figure out what was going on with him at the moment. He subconsciously wanted to end this topic as soon as possible: “It’s good that you like it. Can I have some juice? ”
Cheng Yi vaguely sensed something from the little one’s behavior, and his eyes could not help but brighten a bit more. However, the occasion was not right and he was afraid of scaring the little one, so he had to hold back his impulses. “Okay, I’ll go and pour some juice for you.”
Cheng Yi was about to continue to nurture his relationship with the little one after giving him the juice when he heard his mother urge, “It’s already late. Ah Yi, go and prepare lunch. ”
An Yan remembered that Cheng Yi was the one who had prepared the meal when he was a guest at his house earlier, and he quickly volunteered, “Let me do it. Although my cooking skills are not very good,……”
But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by several people at the same time.
Cheng Yi: “It’s better for me to do it. Doesn’t Yan Yan like my cooking the most? ”
Cheng Lin: “Just leave this kind of rough work to Ah Yi. Yan Yan can just stay with me and chat for a while. ”
Cheng Yang: “Don’t be so polite, Yan Yan. I still want you to play with me on the mecha model. ”
When the three had finished talking, Grandpa Cheng finally made his concluding remarks: “They’re right.”
An Yan:”… okay.”
Cheng Yi’s cooking skills were much better than his. Everyone might not necessarily like it if they really let him prepare lunch.
With this thought, An Yan felt a little more at ease.
Cheng Yi hooked his lips and ruffled An Yan’s hair before he got up and went to the kitchen.
An Yan thought that he would feel a little restrained when Cheng Yi left, but he thought too much.
After the initial awkwardness had passed, the familiarity with the Cheng family soon returned. In addition, Cheng Yang was a good friend, and An Yan only felt that everyone was very nice to him, and he did not feel constrained at all.
After nearly an hour of talking and laughing like this, Cheng Yi came out of the kitchen, “It’s time to eat.”
So everyone moved from the sofa in the living room to the dining room table.
Grandpa Cheng sat on the main seat. Cheng Fu and Cheng Lin sat to his left and right. Cheng Yang sat next to Cheng Fu, while An Yan was between Cheng Lin and Cheng Yi.
An Yan’s attention was quickly drawn away by the table full of food as soon as he sat down.
He wanted to be reserved, but Cheng Yi kept on serving him food. So, on the principal of not wasting food, An Yan started to eat to his heart’s content.
