The Only Normal Human In The Universe

Chapter 42 

Cheng Yang immediately came back as soon as he heard about eating: "Okay, big brother. Which restaurant are you talking about? Let’s go now…."

Then his brother pushed him aside for the third time: "Didn’t you say that you wanted to treat Zhao Xinxin to a meal to show your appreciation? Today is a good opportunity. "

Cheng Yang had indeed wanted to invite Zhao Xinxin to dinner before, but now he didn’t want to at all: "But I ……"

Before he could express his thoughts, Cheng Yi had already dragged An Yan away, and he was surrounded by a bunch of people just when he wanted to chase after them.

"Are you really Senior Cheng Yi’s brother?"

"What’s your name? Can we get to know each other?"

"I’m in the same major as you, so I’ll have to ask you to take care of me in the future!"

"Are you going to eat? Let’s go together."

……

By the time Cheng Yang finally got out of the crowd, Cheng Yi and An Yan’s figures had long since disappeared.

Cheng Yang sighed helplessly and could only go to the canteen for lunch alone.

On the other hand, Cheng Yi dragged An Yan out of the academy. Although he didn’t know why Cheng Yi deliberately sent Cheng Yang away, An Yan could vaguely perceive that he did so on purpose.

So, although he was puzzled, An Yan didn’t ask any questions on the way.

It was only when they sat down in a nice restaurant and ordered their meals that An Yan could not help but ask, "Does senior have something to say to me?"

Cheng Yi was pouring water for An Yan and paused slightly. He handed the glass of water to An Yan and said, in a deep voice, "I do have something to ask Yan Yan."

"If you have anything to say, just say it." An Yan held the glass of water in both hands and was inexplicably a little nervous.

Cheng Yi let out a low laugh at An Yan's nervous look and said, "But not now."

An Yan’s hand shook and the glass of water he was holding almost spilled. "Why?"

"Now is not the time." Cheng Yi was actually more anxious than anyone else to find out the truth of the matter, but he hadn’t started the investigation yet, and many things were only speculations. He wanted to wait until the initial investigation was clear before talking to An Yan about it.

However, even if the investigation had not yet started, there was one thing Cheng Yi was sure of: An Yan must be related to the high quality potion that Zhao Xinxin gave to Cheng Yang.

That was the conclusion he had drawn from his own experience and senses after taking those potions. Although it could not be verified, he was very sure of it.

He was even certain that An Yan was the reason why those two potions had worked on him.

As for why something connected to An Yan had appeared in the potion gifted by Zhao Xinxin, that would have to be considered after the results of the investigation were known.

An Yan was tickled by Cheng Yi’s words and wanted to ask him what he was talking about, but he was afraid that this would make things difficult for him, so he had to keep it to himself.

Fortunately, the dishes with a strong fragrance were served up at this time. An Yan’s eyes lit up and his nose twitched. He forgot about other things.

 An Yan leaned back in his chair after he had had his fill. He rubbed his tummy happily, feeling once again that human food was really delicious!

He didn’t notice Cheng Yi sitting opposite him, staring at his belly. The light in his eyes was frighteningly bright. His hand on the cup rubbed it twice, as if he was not touching the cup, but a little hamster’s belly.

An Yan looked down and realised that it was getting late after finally snapping out of the afterglow of the food.

"Senior, let’s head back to the academy early." He had read the freshman guide earlier and the dormitories of the academy had access control. They could not be entered after a fixed time.

Although there was still some time before the access control time, An Yan wanted to go back early because today was the first day of school after all.

Cheng Yi withdrew his gaze and nodded, "Okay, let’s go back."

Although An Yan had never eaten out before, he knew that he should pay after eating. He was about to settle the bill when he heard Cheng Yi say, "I’ve already settled the bill."

"How could that be?" An Yan frowned slightly, "Then I’ll transfer the money to Senior."

Cheng Yi shook his head, "No need. Instead of transferring the money to me, why don’t you treat me to a meal next time you are free? "

This sounded reasonable, so An Yan could only nod, "Then senior must not forget."

"I won’t." How could he easily forget the chance to have a meal with the little one?

Cheng Yi did not fly the airship when they came because the distance to the restaurant was short. So he slowly walked back to the academy with An Yan.

When chatting on the way, Cheng Yi reminded, "Now that school has just started, Yan Yan shouldn’t be in direct contact with potion making.  But it’s best to pay a little attention to it in general, especially for potions that need to be submitted. You need to be more careful. "

An Yan knew that Cheng Yi was doing it for his own good, so he nodded nervously, "Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention."

He was just a freshman in the pharmacy major. It would be strange if he produced a high quality potion right off the bat, and it would inevitably attract the attention of some interested parties.

You can always find Yang Yang when you encounter any problems. If it’s something he can’t solve either, come to me, got it?" Cheng Yi reminded him.

An Yan smiled, "Did you say that to Yang Yang, senior?"

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "No, why?"

"Nothing, I just think that senior is too kind to me," An Yan smiled.

Cheng Yi was really nice to him. They had only known each other for a short time, but Cheng Yi always tolerated and helped him so much that he didn’t even know how to thank him.

"I should be nice to you." Because you’re the one who saved me. Cheng Yi couldn’t say the latter half of the sentence directly.

After returning to the college, Cheng Yi personally took An Yan to the dormitory. He saw Cheng Yang lying on his bed playing with his light brain once he entered.

Cheng Yang immediately jumped up from the bed as soon as the door opened, "You’re finally back! Where did you guys eat the delicious food? You didn’t even take me with you! "

An Yan looked at Cheng Yang sheepishly. He thought Cheng Yi had something to tell him, which was why he had deliberately excused Cheng Yang. As a result, he didn’t say anything. An Yan inevitably felt guilty.

Cheng Yi himself did not feel anything at all, and asked without any weakness of heart, "Did you invite Zhao Xinxin to dinner?"

Cheng Yang shook his head, "I’m not going to invite her to dinner."

Cheng Yang seemed to want to say something else, but after looking at An Yan, he didn’t say anything in the end.

Cheng Yi noticed it, however, and said to Cheng Yang, "Come with me, I have something to say to you."

He turned to An Yan and said, "Classes will officially start tomorrow. Rest early tonight."

"Mm, Senior should too." An Yan nodded obediently.

Cheng Yang followed Cheng Yi to his flat. When they entered the living room, Cheng Yi asked directly, "What were you going to say before?"

In An Yan’s absence, Cheng Yang had no qualms about detailing what happened in the auditorium this afternoon. He finally concluded with a huff, "I really didn’t expect Zhao Xinxin to do such a thing in public. Yan Yan must have been very upset in his heart, but he couldn’t show it in consideration of me."

 Cheng Yi’s face had completely gloomed while listening to Chang Yan’s descriptions. At the same time, he remembered a problem he had ignored before.

Although he did not care about people’s attention to him, much less being affected by it in any way, he had overlooked the fact that An Yan might also be noticed because of his favour and closeness.  Cheng Yi did not want An Yan to be treated or affected in any bad way because of him.

"Big brother, you …… are you very angry?" Cheng Yang saw that his elder brother had been silent and could not help but feel a little worried.

Cheng Yi raised his hand to rub his brow and said in a low voice, "I’m fine. This matter came about because I was too careless."

"You can’t blame yourself. You never accepted Zhao Xinxin’s feelings from the beginning. Who knew she would be like this." Cheng Yang really didn’t like Zhao Xinxin half as much now. If it weren’t for that high quality potion, he wouldn’t even want to continue to deal with such a person.

As Cheng Yang was thinking about the potion, he heard Cheng Yi say, "I don’t have definite proof of it yet, but I’m probably sure about it. That high quality potion Zhao Xinxin gave you was most likely not made by her. "

Cheng Yang was instantly confused, "Huh? Why would big brother say that? "

"I’m still investigating this matter, but we should have the results soon," Cheng Yi didn’t elaborate, but only urged, "Before the results come out, you’d better not change your attitude towards Zhao Xinxin too much, so that she doesn’t become wary."

Zhao Xinxin took someone else’s potion as her own and gave it to Cheng Yang as a gift. It was actually very simple to investigate this matter. He only had to look at who she and Zhao Chengxuan had been in contact with recently, and he could get the results.

The Cheng family’s connections were far more powerful than the Zhao family’s. There are things that the Zhao family can’t hide just because they want to.

What Cheng Yi was worried about was whether An Yan would be implicated if Zhao Xinxin learned of his movements. After all, the potion had An Yan’s scent on it.

Perhaps Zhao Xinxin was making things difficult for Yan Yan not only because of him?

Cheng Yang did not know what was on his elder brother’s mind, but he took the warning seriously and said, "Don’t worry, big brother. I will not let your plan fall through! "

"Also, remember to protect Yan Yan for me and don’t let anyone make things difficult for him." Although Cheng Yi intended to accompany An Yan at all times, they were in different majors and were bound to be separated during classes.

Cheng Yang’s face instantly became a little subtle when he heard this. He laughed heatedly and asked, "Big brother, you wouldn’t be interested in Yan Yan ……"

He thought his elder brother would not answer this question, but before he could finish his sentence, Cheng Yi frankly admitted, "Yes, I did fall in love with Yan Yan at first sight."

Cheng Yang was dumbfounded for a moment before he stumbled and said, "Then…does he…does he…"

"I haven’t confessed my feelings to him yet, so he shouldn’t know about them," Cheng Yi sighed, not wanting to say more, "Well, you go back first."

Cheng Yang didn’t even know how he got back to the dormitory. He came back to his senses on seeing the one who had made his big brother fall in love at first sight. God, his elder brother, who was so cold and seemed devoted to solitary life, was actually moved!

An Yan had already finished washing up and had just come out of the bathroom when he saw Cheng Yang staring at him with a strange look on his face. He could not help but be startled: "What ……what’s the matter?"

Cheng Yang shook his head repeatedly, "Nothing nothing." I just found out that my big brother is secretly in love with my roommate.
