Yan's Resolve

Chapter 36: Yan's Resolve

In the streets of Juxia City, pedestrians' gazes were involuntarily drawn in the same direction.

Three people walked side-by-side there:

On the left and right were two stunning blonde women, and in the middle was a handsome black-haired young man.

Their appearances and temperaments were extraordinary, walking through the crowd as if they had a soft glow about them, attracting all passing eyes.

Angel Yan took in the surrounding gazes, which ranged from amazed to curious, and a playful smile curved her lips.

She slowly leaned close to Su Bai's ear, her breath brushing against him:

"Kiddo~ Happy to be shopping with two beautiful ladies?"

However, things did not develop as she had expected.

Su Bai neither blushed and fidgeted like a naive young man nor responded with playful banter like a seasoned charmer.

He merely nodded gently with a calm expression and let out a low "Mm."

Seeing his unfazed demeanor, Angel Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, her playful advances intensifying:

"Then... do you want to... do something with two beautiful ladies~?"

Su Bai's steps suddenly halted.

Angel Yan caught him stopping, and the smile on her lips subtly widened.

Hmph, he's just a little kid, you think I can't handle you?

But the next second, her playful expression froze.

A look of simple joy appeared on Su Bai's face, and he looked at her with clear eyes:

"Do you want to be friends with me?"

Clearly, he hadn't thought of anything else.

Azhui, standing beside them, seemed to have anticipated this outcome. Seeing her Yan-jie encountering a rare setback, she finally couldn't help but turn her head to cover her mouth and chuckle.

Angel Yan immediately turned and glared at her, her eyes clearly stating, "We'll settle this later."

When she turned her gaze back, Angel Yan's eyes on Su Bai were now tinged with genuine curiosity.

This child...

"Do you really want to be friends with us?" Angel Yan stopped teasing him and her tone became a bit more serious.

"Mm," Su Bai nodded, his expression sincere.

"I don't know why, but even though I didn't know you before, I always feel... like there's a voice in my head telling me you are very important to me."

Hearing this, Angel Yan and Azhui were simultaneously stunned.

They both recalled the updated entry in the diary instance—the record that clearly belonged to Su Bai's memories before they were lost, when he was in his own world.

Even without his memories, pure as a child, his inner voice was still guiding him towards them?

A faint touch, silent and profound, swept through their hearts.

Wasn't this kind of connection the "true love" that angels pursued?

It was just... there was still a bit of regret.

Angel Yan recalled the clips in the video—

This little rascal had not only called her "Yan Bao," but also her sisters, her teacher, and some girls she didn't even know seemed to have had unusual "affections" with him.

Thinking of this, she almost wanted to reach out and tap the head of the person beside her.

Really...

Can't you just look at me alone?

If that were the case, even if she couldn't immediately reciprocate his feelings, Yan would be willing to spend a thousand years waiting, confirming, until they became a couple envied even by angels.

As for why she was so certain they would be side-by-side after a thousand years—

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

In Yan's view, under normal circumstances, it would naturally require a long time to examine their compatibility.

But for Su Bai, since she already knew he was also fond of her, she wouldn't just stand by and watch.

A thousand years would be enough for her to... little by little, mold this little guy into someone who belonged only to her.

Azhui, standing beside her, also had thoughts similar to Yan's, feeling a slight tightness in her chest, a faint hint of bitterness spreading.

Angel Yan, however, had a faint smile on her face.

Her thoughts raced.

There's still time now, I'll slowly mold him until he only has eyes for me, right?

Besides, among the girls he 'loves'...

Teacher and Heavenly King definitely won't fall for this kid.

Keisha: Not that she doesn't like him.

Hexi: Guess why I sent a clone this early?

As for that Liang Bing... the Queen's sister, former Apocalypse King, now Queen Morgana--

Angel Yan would absolutely never let her near Su Bai. What if he gets led astray or corrupted?

I imagine the Queen and the others wouldn't allow Su Bai and Morgana to meet either. After all, if that woman managed to instill any evil ideas in him, things would get troublesome.

Keisha (nodding): Naturally, they can't meet. Sisters serving the same man? What kind of propriety is that.

Hexi (resting chin on hand): Oh? Sister... younger sister... hiss, if that tomboy could call me sister, it might sound pretty good?

Considering this, excluding the Queen and Heavenly King who wouldn't easily intervene, and the "former Apocalypse King" who can only watch from afar, powerless, the rest...

Whether it's Azhui, Lingxi, Zhixin, or that little girl named Qilin, in Angel Yan's eyes, they're just...

Simply no match for her, Angel Yan.

Just as Angel Yan was secretly calculating, Su Bai's voice suddenly rang out:

"So... are we friends now?"

He looked up at Yan, streetlights reflecting in his eyes, so clear it was hard to look away.

Yan paused for a moment, then smiled, her lips curling upwards.

She reached out, her fingertips gently brushing away the stray hairs on Su Bai's forehead, a gesture so natural it was as if she'd done it thousands of times before.

"Yes," she replied, her voice carrying a hint of imperceptible softness. "But being an Angel's friend has its conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Be obedient," Yan retracted her hand, crossing her arms and feigning seriousness. "Especially, be obedient to me."

And far away in Merlo Heavenly Court--

Hexi, who was "spying" on this scene in her own chambers, couldn't help but narrow her eyes, a playful curve spreading across her lips.

"Yo, little Yan's got skills~ Decided to make a move on the little white mouse so quickly?"

She rested her chin on her hand, her silver hair flowing in the faint light of the observation screen, her eyes sparkling with the clear delight of someone watching a good show.

Once Yan succeeds, she'd definitely borrow her new boyfriend for some research.

Meanwhile, in Keisha's palace.

Holy Keisha looked at the screen, watching her disciple's earnest yet childish expression, and felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

This child... she really is...

But, perhaps this is for the best.

An Angel's destiny has long been bound to their beliefs, and whether it's the potential hidden within Su Bai...

Or his "love" for Yan, a connection that faintly persists even after losing his memory, it might be an excellent destination for Yan.

She leaned back gently against her chair, a faint softness appearing in her eyes.
