At first, Cheng Yi thought it was his imagination that he had seen a faint halo of light appear on the little oneâs body.
But after observing for a long time, Cheng Yi finally confirmed that it was not his imagination. A faint glow had indeed appeared on the little oneâs body. As time passed, the glow did not disappear, but instead became clearer.
Cheng Yiâs heart fluttered, and he hastily lifted the handkerchief and held the little one in his palm, gently shaking his little head: âYan Yan, wake up.â
An Yan was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly shaken awake. It was only after a while that he gradually regained his ability to think and looked at Cheng Yi in a daze: âSqueak?â Whatâs wrong?
The moment An Yan opened his eyes, the layer of light on his body slowly dissipated.
Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief but did not dare to take it lightly: âYan Yan, did you feel uncomfortable when you were sleeping just now?â
An Yan recalled the beautiful dream he had just finished, and shook his little head in an impatient manner: âSqueak squeak squeak âŠâŠ squeak squeak âŠâŠ squeak!â I just slept well; I didnât feel uncomfortableâŠ. Wait!
An Yan was halfway through his squeak when he suddenly noticed a difference in his body. But this difference did not come from his physical body, but from the spiritual energy inside him.
The spirit energy seemed to be much more active than before, and a closer look showed that it seemed to have grown a little.
The concentration and amount of spiritual energy in An Yanâs body were no joke, so this little increase was nothing to him, but the growth itself surprised him.
It was not that An Yan had not tried to cultivate after arriving here, but no matter what he did, he could not feel any spiritual energy in his surroundings, let alone absorb it for cultivation.
After several failed attempts, An Yan gave up.
At that time, An Yan thought that he was unable to cultivate because he had changed to a completely new environment and there was no such thing as spiritual energy.
But it now seemed that things were completely different from what he had imagined.
After noticing the change in his bodyâs spiritual energy, An Yan tried to sense his surroundings again. To his surprise, he found that there was a lot of spiritual energy floating in the air that was originally devoid of any spiritual energy. After he casually sensed it, his body started to absorb it spontaneously.
The concentration of spiritual qi in the air was so high!
He thought there was no hope for him to cultivate, but he had unexpectedly come across such a turn of events. It was definitely an unexpected surprise for An Yan.
His beady eyes lit up fiercely, and he began to frantically absorb the spiritual qi around him as if he had been starved.
At this very moment, his chubby little tummy was suddenly poked twice. An Yan reluctantly opened his eyes to meet Cheng Yiâs concerned gaze.
His whole attention was drawn by the sudden discovery. It was only then that he remembered there was someone else around him. He hastily straightened his body and sat down obediently, âSqueak, squeak, squeak.â Donât worry, senior, Iâm really fine now. Thereâs no problem.
Although Cheng Yi didnât understand what he meant, he could guess that the situation was not a bad thing by looking at An Yanâs excited expression.
He also guessed that the situation just now was probably related to An Yanâs hidden secret.
Therefore, Cheng Yi put his mind at ease. He was a little bit upset, though. Could it be that the little one still couldnât trust him completely?
With such a small emotion, Cheng Yi could not resist poking the little oneâs stomach again, but when An Yan opened his eyes, he felt discouraged.
Everyone had their own secrets, and he himself was no different. So how could he feel emotions that he shouldnât have?
Cheng Yi quickly adjusted his emotions and smiled lightly at An Yan, âOkay, since itâs fine, do you want me to help you cover up?â
Cheng Yiâs expression looked natural, but An Yan could see a hint of hidden grievances and depression in his expression. It made An Yanâs heart tremble slightly, and he quickly figured out the reason why Cheng Yi would feel low.
Not only had senior brought him home safely from the academy, he had also arranged a medical check-up for him, was willing to take him in and even let him sleep in his bed, but he had been concealing things from senior.
It was so wrong of him to do so!
An Yan blamed himself and hurriedly spoke: âSqueak, squeak, squeak, squeak âŠâŠ" Iâm sorry, senior. I didnât mean to hide it from you, I âŠâŠ
Before An Yan finished squeaking, Cheng Yi put a finger against his little mouth.
Itâs okay. Itâs late now, so Yan Yan should rest. Anything else can wait until tomorrow." Cheng Yiâs voice was incredibly gentle, as if he was soothing his beloved lover.
An Yan still wanted to explain, but he  couldnât speak human words now. It would definitely take a lot of effort if he wanted to communicate clearly. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded his head and rubbed it against Cheng Yiâs fingers, âSqueak squeak.â Good night, senior.
Cheng Yi thoughtfully covered An Yanâs with the handkerchief, and he also laid back down.
An Yan didnât know that the air contained spiritual energy when he was laying down, but his body was able to absorb it spontaneously. Â He was naturally more at ease and efficient in absorbing it now that he was aware of it.
An Yan was amazed to find that his spiritual energy had risen quite a lot in just one night. It was much faster than when he had been cultivating before.
But why had he not even noticed the presence of spiritual energy when he was in his human state?
An Yan guessed that it should be related to his form, but he didnât think about it much. The hamster happily absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, and was in an extraordinarily full and refreshing state.
The only embarrassing thing wasâŠ
An Yan remembered that when he laid down the night before, he was honestly sleeping on the pillow. He concentrated on absorbing the spiritual energy during the night, so he couldnât have moved around much. But how come when he opened his eyes the next morning, he was in Cheng Yiâs arms?
Thankfully, Cheng Yi had not yet woken up when An Yan woke up from his cultivation. So An Yan arched his fat body and sneaked out of Cheng Yiâs arms.
It was not until he was completely out of Cheng Yiâs hands that he breathed a sigh of relief. He climbed back to the pillow and lay down. He also stretched out his small paws to pull the handkerchief back to cover himself.
Well, this way Cheng Yi wouldnât find out, right?
NaĂŻve An Yan didnât notice that from the moment he started to arch out, the corners of Cheng Yiâs mouth had been slightly upward, and the curve didnât disappear until An Yan had laid down again.
Not long after, Cheng Yi suddenly rolled over, and his face was now at An Yanâs small head.
It was fine, but the distance between the two was so close, the heat from Cheng Yiâs every breath would spray onto An Yanâs head, causing his fluffy fur to drift in the wind.
An Yan had no choice but to adjust his position a little. But as soon as he did so, one of Cheng Yiâs hands came after him and landed directly on his stomach.
Because of his cultivation, An Yan had not slept for a long time, but the quality of his sleep was very good. He remembered that Cheng Yi had stayed up late for him last night and had worried a lot. He naturally chose not to disturb his sleep.
Although Cheng Yiâs palm was very large, this weight did not affect An Yan at all, so it was not a big deal to leave it like that.
An Yan didnât dare to move any further and could only lie there staring at the ceiling and thinking about things.
Cheng Yi, on the other hand, was content to feel the faint rise and fall of An Yanâs hot little belly with his palm. Each rise and fall was like a bell ringing in his heart, making his heart beat like a drum.
In the end, it was Cheng Yi who took the initiative to withdraw his hand for fear that An Yan would discover his little scheme, and then woke up leisurely.
Cheng Yi rubbed his hair and slowly sat up. He turned to look at An Yan, who was lying on the pillow pretending to sleep, and said, with a hook of his lips, âIs Yan Yan still asleep?â
An Yan felt that the situation just now was a bit awkward, so he deliberately pretended to sleep. He didnât expect that after pretending to sleep, the situation would get even more awkward.
Especially after Cheng Yi spoke. An Yanâs body stiffened a little, and he tried to pretend that he had just woken up. He opened his beady eyes to look at Cheng Yi: âSqueak.â Good morning, senior.
Cheng Yi let out a low laugh, his voice still distinctly husky from just waking up, magnetic to the core: âGood morning, Yan Yan.â
An Yan felt his head heat up, and he couldnât even squeak.
Cheng Yiâs robe had loosened a little, and as soon as he sat up, it revealed most of his chest.
An Yan was caught off guard, and his head was filled with a wave of heat that made him unsteady.
Luckily, Cheng also knew how to restrain himself a little. After getting out of bed, he quickly re-tied his bathrobe, and then carried the little one into the bathroom.
There would be no bath in the morning, but a simple wash and gurgling was necessary.
An Yan was now a hamster, so he couldnât use human toiletries. But with the spiritual power covering his body, he wouldnât have any dust or dirt on his body. He planned to stand aside and wait for Cheng Yi when he saw Cheng Yi taking out a mini set of toiletries from the side drawer.
An Yan: ââŠâŠâ How could Cheng Yi have such things?
Cheng Yi took out the brand new toiletries one by one and said, with a calm expression, âI told the housekeeper to prepare this last night. It should be just right for you to use. â
In fact, Cheng Yi not only asked the housekeeper to order a set of washing toiletries, but he even asked the housekeeper to prepare a set of plates, cups, chopsticks, and other utensils.
