The Only Normal Human In The Universe

An Yan didn't think much of it and hurriedly responded, "Okay, I'll go there. May I ask where the eldest young master's room is?"

"Turn right to the innermost room on the third floor," steward Liu reminded An Yan, giving him another look.

"You can take the elevator directly from the first floor. You shouldn’t meet anyone else. "

"Okay, I see." An Yan nodded earnestly and began to pick out fruits.

Steward Liu couldn’t help sighing at the child's obedient appearance, but he soon forgot about it for the time being, mainly because he was too busy today as he had to go over all the big and small matters of the Cheng family.

In fact, An Yan's heart was not entirely free of doubt. According to what the steward had said before, the part-term workers were limited to the back kitchen. It was basically impossible for them to meet the hosts as well as the guests of the banquet.

But now Steward Liu was asking him to deliver fruit to the eldest young master of the Cheng family. Could it be that the servant responsible for delivering the fruit before had a temporary problem and could not go?

At this thought, An Yan settled down.  He was just here to do a day's work anyway. He could only carefully do what the employer asked him to do, and there would not be any trouble.

After putting his mind at ease, An Yan put the selected fruits onto the tray one by one and then carried the tray out.

 An Yan stepped out of the lift and found that the entire third floor was silent, with only the corridor lit up with dim light.

An Yan's heart inexplicably tightened, and he hurriedly took a deep breath to adjust his state. He stepped forward and walked along the corridor. However, he had just taken two steps when the already dim lights suddenly flickered twice in unison.

Fortunately, after the lights flickered, they soon regained their stability and were brighter than before, but An Yan's heart was so scared that it would be difficult to regain stability in a short time.

It's okay, it's okay. There must have been a problem with the lighting system and that's why that suddenly happened.

He cheered himself up, steadied the tray in his hand, and lifted his feet to continue walking.

Who knew that after just two steps, those hateful lights flashed again. An Yan was really frightened. He stood there motionless, his big eyes staring uneasily at the surroundings, moisture gathering in the bottom of his eyes.

What was even more frightening was that the lights kept flickering, showing no sign of stopping.

An Yan stood by the wall with shaking hands, on the verge of tears. However, he thought of his mission and could not delay here. He could only muster up the courage to confront the flickering lights with a voice that was clearly trembling: "You...don’t flash again, I... I'm not afraid at all."

The next instant, the originally flickering lights instantly stabilized, followed by the innermost door being gently pulled open: "Sorry, I was just adjusting the lights on the third floor. I didn't scare you, did I?"

Cheng Yi deliberately adjusted the lights in order to play a slight prank and see what kind of interesting reaction that funny little teenager would have.

Cheng Yi himself was very bold, so he did not expect that this small action would really scare the boy.

It wasn’t until he saw the boy’s big misty eyes and heard the trembling words through the surveillance that he realised his prank was too much.

He had really scared the boy.

At that moment, Cheng Yi felt remorse and, at the same time, he somehow became soft. Those big eyes were full of apprehension and fear, but pretending to be strong was deeply engraved in his heart.

An Yan didn’t know what Cheng Yi was thinking. Although the corridor was lit up, the intensity was not as strong as that in the room, and he could not see the other person's face.

But even though he couldn't see, An Yan could guess the identity of this person, so he sniffled and trotted over to Cheng Yi: "You're the eldest young master, right? I'm here to bring you fruit. "

Cheng Yi listened to An Yan's words and realised that the boy’s voice still had a little tremor in it. He couldn't help but blame himself even more, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tweaked the lights at this time."

At this time, An Yan had already run up to Cheng Yi with a big smile on his face, "It's okay, I wasn't scared just now either."

It was clear that he had just been scared to the point of tears, but he could still show such a simple and beautiful smile. Cheng Yi's heart softened again, and he sidled over and said, "Come in first."

An Yan nodded and entered the room.  He hurriedly put the fruit tray on the table. His hands were so soft that if it took a little longer, he might not be able to hold the tray any longer.

"Enjoy your meal...." An Yan turned to look at the Cheng family's eldest young master and was stunned. "Huh, aren't you the guest from this afternoon?"

Cheng Yi closed the door to the room and smiled lightly at An Yan, "I'm not a guest invited by the Cheng family. My name is Cheng Yi."

"So you're the eldest young master of the Cheng family!" It was only now that An Yan got to know this person’s identity.

Cheng Yi smiled and nodded as he walked over. He picked up an apple from the fruit plate, but instead of eating it, he handed it to An Yan, "Here you go."

An Yan waved his hand repeatedly, "No, I don't want to eat it."

Although his attitude was firm, An Yan's expression did not say so. Those big eyes were staring at the apple with longing written in them. They were saying, "I really want to eat it."

Cheng Yi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, "But you look like you really want to eat it."

An Yan silently swallowed and whispered, "I ...... am only a part-time worker employed by the Cheng family. I am not allowed to eat freely."

Steward Liu had specifically explained that one must not touch, take, use, or eat the Cheng family's things. If they were found out, not only would they lose today's wages, they would also be punished very severely.

Seeing that An Yan didn't dare to take it, Cheng Yi simply put the apple directly into An Yan's hand, saying, "I have given you this apple. You didn't take it yourself, so of course it's okay."

He felt that this little one's hands looked white and tender before, and when he unintentionally touched them just now, he felt even more that his hands were warm and soft, and they were very comfortable to touch.

"Really?" An Yan believed Cheng Yi's words. Cheng Yi is the eldest young master of the Cheng family. He could eat the apple he gave him, right?

Cheng Yi nodded affirmatively while recalling the touch he had just felt, "Of course, not only this apple, you can also eat all the other fruits on the fruit plate."

An Yan shook his head in shock, "I only need one apple."

He had checked the prices of these fruits before. Leave alone this kind of freshly picked and delicious fruit, even if it had been left for a while and didn't taste so good anymore, the prices were all very frightening.

The price of this pallet of fruit was already far more than his wages for the day, which was terrifying to think about.

Cheng also did not say much, only pointing to the chair by the table and saying, " You can sit down and eat slowly."

An Yan was a little hesitant: "But I've already finished delivering the fruit to the young master, so I should be busy with something else now."

"There's no rush; I still have something to tell you," Cheng Yi paused for a moment and added, "There's no need to call me Eldest Young Master. Just call me by my name."

 He had called Zhao Xinxin "Miss Zhao" and did not want to change her way of calling him, but at this moment, he felt that the name "Eldest Young Master" was too unfamiliar.

An Yan felt that he was now a temporary worker employed by someone else, so he could not call his master by his name. So he just gave a vague reply and took a small bite of the apple.

With just one bite, An Yan's eyes lit up. It was so sweet and delicious!

Cheng Yi was amused by An Yan's hamster-like eating and the exaggerated expression on his face. He asked, as if he had no intention of doing so, "An Yan, aren't you the student who came first in the entrance examination of the Central Star First College?"

An Yan slowly chewed the apple in his mouth while looking at Cheng Yi with surprise. "Yes, that's me, but how did you know?"

Cheng Yi was in a happy mood as he watched An Yan eat the apple, "Because my brother also applied for the same major this year, that's why I paid close attention to the matter."

If Cheng Yang had been present, he would have unceremoniously exposed his elder brother's false face. If he hadn't yelled earlier that this An Yan was so impressive that he had gotten first place in the exams and created a high quality body potion, his elder brother wouldn't have known who An Yan was. Humph!

However, this lie came naturally to Cheng Yi. In addition, An Yan was simple in nature, and he would not suspect. He just said, a little embarrassed, "I didn't think I would come first in the exam either. In fact, I always wonder if the academy has made a mistake. "

"For something as important as an entrance exam, the academy would never make a mistake, and the fact that you came in first place is enough to show that you are very good at potion making." Cheng Yi said with certainty.

"Really?" An Yan even blushed a little. He hurriedly hugged the apple and took another nibble.

"Of course it's true," Cheng Yi poured himself a cup of water and sipped it slowly, "Speaking of which, after you enter Central Star First College, we'll be alumni. You’ll have to call me "Senior."

"I know. When I finished my exams earlier, I saw…" An Yan subconsciously stopped halfway through his sentence. He realised it would seem inappropriate for him to talk about how he followed the large group to go over and watch Cheng Yi.

But even though he didn't say anything, Cheng Yi had already guessed what he was going to say from his words. A vague figure flashed in his mind: "So the person standing not far away that day looking down at the light brain was you?"

Cheng Yi noticed him at that time because the other party acted completely differently from the others.  He even had the opportunity to come up to him later on, but he did not do so.
