While they were getting acquainted with each other, the airship had already arrived at the Cheng family home.
Cheng Lin greeted them warmly and reached out to pick up the small hamster, pushing her son aside.Yan “Yan is finally back. I missed you so much. “ Cheng Lin chatted as she brought over a small snack and handed it to the little hamster.
An Yan squeaked twice and happily nibbled on the snack.
Cheng Yi sat across the table and took the initiative to say, “Mother, I have something to tell you.”
Cheng Lin didn’t even look at him and said carelessly, “What is it?”
Cheng Yi was talking to his mother, but his eyes were on the little one.
Cheng Yi stared at the little hamster as he said, “I have confessed my love to An Yan.”
The little hamster dropped the treats in its paws.
What? What? What are you talking about? Do you know whom you’re talking to right now!
And I was the one who confessed my love to you, so why did you say the opposite?
Cheng Lin was also startled. She finally turned and looked her in the eye and asked excitedly, “You’ve already confessed to An Yan? Tell us how he rejected you.”
Cheng Yi: “

” This reaction was indeed expected from mother.
An Yan was also confused by Cheng Lin’s attitude. Why didn’t she sound surprised at all?
Cheng Yi replied, with a bit of complacent, “Yan Yan did not reject me.”
“He didn’t reject you?” Cheng Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said with understanding, “Then he must have been concerned about your pride, so he didn’t reject you to your face.”
Cheng Yi: “

” Mother, can you look at my expression before you speak?
An Yan: “
" Why did it sound wrong the more I listen?
Cheng Yang, on the other hand, had seen enough of the hilarity and smiled, “Mother, you misunderstood what big brother meant. Yan Yan actually likes big brother too. “
Cheng Lin’s face immediately showed obvious surprise and disbelief: “How is that possible? An Yan is such a good kid. How could she possibly like your big brother? “
Cheng Yang scratched his head, “I also think it’s quite strange. Maybe Yan Yan’s aesthetic is not the same as normal people. “
Cheng Yi, who had received two heavy blows in quick succession, couldn’t help rubbing his forehead. Was this really his family?
An Yan picked up the snacks again and looked at Cheng Yi sympathetically as he continued to nibble happily.
Although surprised by the Cheng family’s attitude towards this matter, he had to say that this family were really good people.
Cheng Yi, who felt the little one’s sympathetic gaze: “
” It hurts even more.
But ridicule aside, Cheng Lin quickly asked another key question, “So did you tell An Yan about your issues?”
Cheng Yi’s gaze flickered slightly: “
 not yet.”
In fact, he wanted to tell An Yan about his issues the day he took the initiative to contact him. However, things developed in a completely different way from what he expected, and he did not have the chance to confess to the little one.
Cheng Lin said disapprovingly, “Ah Yi, it’s not right for you to do this. You should take the initiative to confess your problem since you have decided to confess your feelings to An Yan.”
Cheng Yi felt guilty and said, “I will tell An Yan as soon as possible.”
An Yan nibbled on the snack while giving Cheng Yi an inquisitive look. What exactly were they talking about?
Cheng Yi felt An Yan’s gaze and hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying, “I’ll take Yan Yan to rest.”
Cheng Lin hurriedly protected the little hamster in her arms, “It’s not even ten o’clock yet. When did you start going to bed so early?”
“I want to confess to Yan Yan.”  Mentioning the confession made Cheng Yi feel nervous.
Cheng Lin hurriedly waved her hand and urged, “Then go and confess to An Yan. I will take care of Yan Yan for you.”
Cheng Yi said frankly, “I don’t have the courage to confess without Yan Yan with me.”
Cheng Lin raised her eyebrows and said, “Don’t fool me with this kind of talk. Yan Yan can’t confess for you, so what’s the use of having him with you?”
Cheng Yi insisted, “He’s useful.”
Without waiting for Cheng Lin to continue her rebuttal, Cheng Yi asked the little one first, “Is Yan Yan willing to go with me?”
An Yan was curious about what they were talking about, and he couldn’t be bothered to continue nibbling on the snacks. He nodded, “Squeak squeak!” I do, I do!
He dropped the snack and stretched out two little paws, begging to be held.
Cheng Yi smiled faintly and carried the little one from his depressed mother’s arms. “Then we’ll go to the bedroom first.”
Cheng Lin’s helpless voice came from behind, “I’m going to take Yan Yan out to play tomorrow. So get up early! “
“Got it.” Cheng Yi said l.
They returned to his room, and Cheng Yi laid the little one on his bed. He half knelt down beside the bed and looked at An Yan solemnly. “Yan Yan, I have something to confess to you.”
An Yan felt nervous for some reason. He was about to change back into his human form, but Cheng Yi gently pressed the top of his head, “Just listen to me like this, Yan Yan.”
Cheng Yi was already feeling slightly nervous infront of the hamster form. He would definitely get more nervous if the little one changed back to human form.
Cheng Yi was speaking so seriously and An Yan Yan could only nod obediently, “Squeak.” Go ahead then.
Cheng Yi inhaled deeply and began to confess quietly, “Does Yan know the exact animal traits I’m carrying on my body?
“Yan shook his head. He only knew Cheng Yi carried animal traits of the white tiger, but he didn’t know exactly where they manifested nor had he ever seen them before.
“Actually,” Cheng Yi’s voice gave a slight pause before he continued in a softer voice, “the animal features on my body are
”
The last few words were so difficult to say that Cheng Yi’s voice was almost inaudible.
An Yan didn’t hear it and asked curiously, “Squeak?” Where did you just say it was?
A suspicious thin blush rose on Cheng Yi’s face, and even the tips of his ears flushed. He happened to glance at the little one’s innocent beady eyes, and his heart inexplicably calmed down again.
At the same time, he felt like laughing and crying. Given the little guy’s innocence, he wouldn’t think much of it, even if he took it out and showed it to him. What was he so shy about?
Having figured this out, Cheng Yi did not shy away from telling the truth. Cheng Yi could not help but express his gratitude, “Perhaps I would have ended up alone if I had not met you.”
An Yan didn’t think much of it, and he didn’t look at Cheng Yi with much sympathy either. Instead, he cocked his head a little suspiciously.
He knew that some humans carried animal features that would indeed affect their lives. For example, some humans’ hands had animal claws, making it inconvenient for them to do many things.
But how could this impact Cheng Yi’s life so much as he says?
From Cheng Yi’s words, it seemed like a very serious issue, otherwise he wouldn’t have said he’d end up alone.
An Yan couldn’t understand it for a while, and could only put it down to insufficient knowledge of human life.
Cheng Yi watched An Yan’s expression. Although he didn’t say anything, the expression on his face expressed all his thoughts. The little one was too innocent and still knew nothing about some things.
So the question was, since the little one didn’t understand, shouldn’t he, as the little one’s lover, do his duty to help him understand?
This thought made Cheng Yi’s eyes darken and his body get a little hotter, but he quickly forced the thought down. Some things should, of course, be taught, but they shouldn’t be now.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath and said, “This is what I wanted to confess to Yan Yan. Can Yan Yan accept this?”
An Yan did not hesitate to nod his head. Of course, he could accept it.
Cheng Yi asked, “If one day, for some reason, I go back to the way I was, would Yan Yan not mind?”
An Yan continued to nod his head. Of course he wouldn’t mind.
Cheng Yi smiled and rubbed the little one’s head, “Thank you, Yan Yan.”
An Yan held Cheng Yi’s finger with his little paw and gently rubbed it against his palm, “Squeak, squeak.” What’s the point of thanking me? It’s nothing in the first place.
The two of them interacted intimately for a while, and Cheng Yi suddenly sighed helplessly, “Did Yan Yan see that just now? My family thinks I’m not good enough for you.”
An Yan paused slightly, then hurriedly changed back to human form and said soothingly, “I think Auntie and Yang Yang said that because they don’t know me well enough, and they don’t know you well enough either. If they knew how good you were, they definitely wouldn’t say that. “
An Yan was half-kneeling on the bed, comforting Cheng Yi with a concerned face. Cheng Yi’s Adams apple rolled uncontrollably and his voice was a little hoarse: “Is that so?”
An Yan nodded, “It’s definitely true, so you mustn’t be sad, senior.”
“Actually,” the corner of Cheng Yi’s mouth curved into a bitter smile, “I feel the same way. I’m not as good as you think I am, and you’re also a lot better than you think you are.”
“That’s not true!” An Yan sternly retorted, “I think the truth is the other way around. It’s you who doesn’t realize how good you really are!”
“I’m happy that Yan Yan thinks that,” Cheng Yi rubbed An Yan’s head, but there was still some bitterness to his voice, “but I still feel that I don’t deserve you.”
“Senior, you mustn’t think like that, you’re really good!” An Yan said a little anxiously, “I really like you! And haven’t we confessed our love for each other and gotten together already?”
