God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 518: Aunt Zuo, I see you already possess the way to embrace death.

In front of someone they fancy or care about, people will always put on a bit of an act.

Like when girls are watching, guys on the sports field will play like they’re on fire, full of gusto.

Just like yesterday when Tong Yingying pretended to be a demure lady with a bird-like appetite, yet after tucking into fried noodles, she not only finished her own bowl but also ate half of Yan Huan’s.

In that vein, if she takes a few bites of a salad and claims she’s 80% full, do you think Yan Huan would believe her?

It’s the same at this moment.

Almost without the need for a script or director, Bai Yi naturally assumed the persona of a frail maiden, hoping to gain the attention of her favored crush.

Yan Huan glanced at this idol of standing quality, who had the ability to make time stop, and saw right through her act.

He glanced at Zuo Jiangqin to his side, pondered for a moment, but still put on the mask of Perfect Expression Management and showed his concern for Bai Yi,

"Take care of yourself. The new song you prepared for me was really nice to listen to."

"Re...Really?!"

When the topic of her song came up, Bai Yi’s eyes immediately lit up, showing no signs of frailty.

Yan Huan didn’t call her out, but simply affirmed,

"Yes, I was wondering if you could perform it live after the club showdown, just like last time at the Lin Gate Comic Exhibition."

"Bu... oh no, it seems impossible... since I signed with Golden Lion Group, any new songs have to wait until they release them..."

Bai Yi’s eyes sparkled with stars, nodding at one moment, shaking her head the next,

"But I could go on stage and sing a cover live! Just... let’s not do a broadcast performance like the opening ceremony, an offline live performance would be fine..."

"No problem. But, Bai Yi, your health..."

As soon as singing was mentioned, Bai Yi got excited. It was only when Yan Huan brought it up that she coughed awkwardly, feigning a delicate facade,

"I’ll... I’ll get better soon, cough cough..."

Zuo Jiangqin, standing to the side, had no clue nor interest in singing, just silently observed the exchange between her daughter and Yan Huan, her contemplation growing more apparent.

"The previous patient has gone in for their inspection, the next patient can go to the door and queue up now."

At that moment, the nurse came in again, knocking on the door. Zuo Jiangqin snapped back to reality, hastily stood up, and said,

"Alright, we’ll go now."

"?"

Bai Yi hadn’t had her fill of chatting with Yan Huan and had no idea what new mischief her mother was cooking up.

But even if she was really reluctant, she’d not have an outburst in front of Yan Huan—it would be too embarrassing.

So she just forced a smile and told Yan Huan,

"Well, Yan Huan, I’ll go first..."

"Okay, no problem."

Zuo Jiangqin walked out of the ward first, while Bai Yi got out of bed, put on her shoes, and followed out.

In the corridor outside the door, Zuo Jiangqin was already far away, standing in front of the elevator.

The inspection place was on a different floor from the ward, so they had to take the elevator.

Bai Yi stealthily glared at her mother but didn’t say anything, just quietly waited for the elevator.

Surprisingly, Zuo Jiangqin took the initiative to speak up,

"That Yan Huan really seems to be like the rumors suggest, he’s Ye Lan’s adopted son, huh?"

On hearing this, Bai Yi curled her lip dismissively and said,

"Who knows, I never asked..."

Just as the elevator arrived, Bai Yi stepped in first.

And Zuo Jiangqin, with an eager expression, followed into the elevator, chattering non-stop,

"It must be true, look at Ye Lan’s attitude towards her, and Ye Shiyu’s attitude towards him, it’s just like she’s their own."

"Uh-huh, so what?"

Bai Yi pressed the floor button, took out her phone with boredom, and began scrolling through social media.

Seeing Bai Yi’s indifferent demeanor, Zuo Jiangqin felt frustrated,

"I’ve told you, don’t check your phone when talking to someone, it’s very impolite."

Bai Yi rolled her eyes impatiently but still kept her gaze on the phone, letting out a nonchalant chuckle,

"Oh."

"..."

Zuo Jiangqin was indignant but her train of thought suppressed her temper, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

She adjusted her expression, pretending to be casual, and asked,

"You and that Yan Huan seem to get along well?"

At the mention of this, Bai Yi’s scrolling paused for a moment.

She glanced at her mother, remained silent for a while, and then said,

"Yeah, he’s a fan of my songs, and... he likes me."

"He likes you?!"

Zuo Jiangqin’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, uttering in disbelief.

Listening to her mother’s astonished voice, Bai Yi silently locked her phone screen, tilted her head back a bit, and hummed a tune.

But after carefully looking her daughter up and down, Zuo Jiangqin’s excitement gradually subsided, replaced with a skeptical expression,

"...For real? Yan Huan has gone blind, liking you?"

"..."

Bai Yi, tilting her head back humming a song, stiffened slightly, and her melodious singing abruptly stopped.

The more skeptical she was, Zuo Jiangqin, stroking her chin, became even more convinced,

"You do have looks going for you, but Yan Huan is quite extraordinary himself, and the girls I’ve seen around him a few times, each one is no worse than you, probably not so easily attracted by your looks, right?"

"..."

"And you’re so lazy at home, have a bad temper, not even close to gentle, not the virtuous type that boys like, he couldn’t possibly like you for your personality, could he?"

"..."

"Academic achievements? Culture? Talent? That’s even less likely; since primary school, helping you with your homework kept me up half the night; you’ve also got a terrible memory... from then I knew, you and studying were never meant to be..."
