God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 10 - 4. In the middle of the dolls, the girl picks up the cell phone_2

```

This place is quiet, yet not far from the community's amenities, and it seems to be more popular than the secluded single-family homes we passed when we first entered.

"We've arrived, let's get out of the car Xiao Huan, Aunt Chen has already prepared dinner, all traditional dishes from Dragon Country."

The car stopped at the periphery of the Western-style Mansion, and the woman who had been in the passenger seat got out to exchange a few words with Ye Lan before re-entering the car and quickly disappeared from Yan Huan's view.

Ye Lan gently held Yan Huan's wrist, warmly escorting him towards the interior of the Western-style Mansion.

Inside the Western-style Mansion, Yan Huan felt a sense of spaciousness, probably because part of the second and third floors were left open, making the ceiling of the living room quite tall, naturally eliminating that constrained feeling one might have in an ordinary bungalow.

At the same time, the lights were bright, very much in line with the indoor preferences of Eastern people, for a moment, Yan Huan thought he had entered a Palace.

"Aunt Chen, we're back."

"Oh, miss, was there a traffic jam along the way? You're a bit later than the time Shiyu and I discussed...Shiyu, your mom is back!"

The voice came from the side of the first floor, possibly from the kitchen.

While Ye Lan was helping Yan Huan to change shoes, the figure wearing an apron finally came out.

It was a curly-haired middle-aged woman wearing an apron, with a kind smile on her face.

"Aunt Chen, this is Xiao Huan, who I mentioned before; this is Aunt Chen, who just came to Lin Gate with me from Dragon Country, your parents know Aunt Chen too, don't be shy, we're all familiar with each other."

"Hello, Aunt Chen"

"Oh my, time really flies, the next generation has grown so much, and so handsome too... very good, very good."

Ye Lan was about to call her daughter over to greet him, but Yan Huan's nose had already caught a faint scent, seemingly that of some flower.

Following the fragrance and looking up, on the spiral staircase connecting to the second floor of the living room, Yan Huan saw a girl in a black chiffon dress.

Under the hem of her dress, a pair of slightly thick black short socks outlined the shape of her calves, hiding her feet within dark grey slippers, standing there without him knowing when she appeared.

Her long black hair reached her waist without any hair accessories, no makeup, and her skin was as pale as snow, creating a striking contrast with the dark color of her dress.

Unlike Ye Lan's soft willow leaf-like eyes, Ye Shiyu's eyes were slightly longer, and there was a touch of chill in her deep black eyes staring out from underneath her long eyelashes, devoid of any emotion.

She was quite tall, just a little shorter than the 184cm tall Yan Huan, with a healthy and well-proportioned figure, and the milk-white chiffon sleeve revealed her firm and slender pale arm.

In her hand, for some reason, she was holding a pair of long scissors, seemingly the tool she had just been using.

Yan Huan blinked, his gaze meeting that of the girl's, neither shifting their eyes away.

Taken aback for a moment, just as Ye Lan was about to call out to her, Yan Huan's face broke into a bright, sunny, polite smile, and he took the initiative to greet her,

"Sister."

Upon hearing Yan Huan's address, her gazing eyes quivered slightly, like a struck bell.

Ye Lan turned her head, only then noticing her daughter was already standing on the stairs,

"Ah, Shiyu, really, it's polite to say hello when you come out... Let me introduce you, this is the child of mom's old friend, Yan Huan, he's one year younger than you, your junior brother. Xiao Huan, this is Shiyu, you can call her Sister Shiyu, either is fine."

Ye Shiyu kept watching Yan Huan, who stood beside Ye Lan, silent and motionless.

It was not until Ye Lan puckered her lips to urge her to be more polite that she finally greeted Yan Huan like a sluggish automaton,

"Hello, I am Ye Shiyu."

Just as Ye Lan had hinted earlier, Ye Shiyu seemed very peculiar, which made Yan Huan feel increasingly uneasy inside.

Ye Lan wasn't very satisfied with Ye Shiyu's reaction, but she understood her daughter well and knew this was all she would say.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen quickly took over the falling conversation, wiped her wet hands with her apron, and said,

"Since Xiao Huan is here, shall we start dinner? The dishes are all ready, specially prepared Dragon Country dishes for Xiao Huan, not sure if they'll suit his taste, Aunt Chen isn't too familiar with Lin Gate, and doesn't know what you like to eat..."

```

"I can eat anything, Aunt Chen."

"That's great, please wait a moment, Miss and Xiao Huan, please have a seat, I'll bring the dishes up."

Ye Lan smiled and nodded, then turned to Ye Shiyu and said,

"Shiyu, put your things back in the room and then come down to eat."

Ye Shiyu just stared at the boy with the sunny smile. After hearing her mother's words, she slowly nodded, picked up the scissors, and went back upstairs.

Conversations between Ye Lan and Yan Huan at the table drifted intermittently from below, as Ye Shiyu, expressionless, walked up the stairs to the third floor, stopping outside a bedroom not far from the master bedroom.

Pushing open the bedroom door, the originally spacious room seemed a bit cramped due to too many items inside.

Inside, against the wall in a glass cabinet, stood a variety of female dolls dressed in exquisite outfits, including realistic action figures, anime-style figurines, and not to mention an indeterminate number of wooden, ceramic, and clay dolls.

Even on the wooden chair next to the bed sat a life-size doll, dressed in a lavish Gothic western-style dress.

The clothes on these dolls were intricately crafted and varied in form, the only commonality being that, whether on the inner side of the hem or on a concealed collar, the creator had inscribed the name in small letters,

"Ye Shiyu"

Ye Shiyu, without a change in expression, placed the scissors next to the sewing kit on the table, with high-quality fabric yet to be sewn on it. On the handle of the scissors was also delicately written the name,

"Ye Shiyu"

She picked up the mobile phone lying on the desk, swiped to unlock it, revealing the chat software that was still on the lock screen, showing the conversation window with Ye Lan, labeled "Mom",

"Baby, Mom will bring Yan Huan, whom I mentioned earlier, home for dinner, please ask Aunt Chen to prepare."

"Okay, I've already told her."

"His mother used to be my best friend, I often showed you her pictures when you were little, do you remember?"

"Mhm."

"He has been living on his own in Lin Gate for many years, it's been very tough. Mom wants to invite him to stay with us, to use the guest room downstairs, what do you think?"

Ye Shiyu did not reply, but Ye Lan kept sending several more messages.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

"He's only a year younger than you, you should have some common interests, and he's from the same school, so you could go to school together."

"Having another person as company, you wouldn't have to spend every day only with your dolls, like when you're in Dragon Country."

"Having a younger brother sounds nice, don't you think, baby?"

"Mom wants to hear your opinion."

Up to now, when Ye Shiyu had unlocked her phone, there were no other replies.

Ye Shiyu closed the chat app, revealing a wallpaper of a doll in lavish clothing.

And on that wallpaper, every mobile app was neatly organized in meticulously categorized folders, which seemed more manageable for Ye Shiyu when using her phone.

However, among all the meticulously categorized folders, there was a solitary weird app with a purple heart as the icon, lying outside on its own.

That app too didn't have any name, floating on the phone's home screen like a bug.

Ye Shiyu stared at that app as if she was zoning out, until Ye Lan's voice came from outside the door again,

"Shiyu, come out for dinner! Aren't you ready yet?"

"..."

After a pause, Ye Shiyu seemed to have made some sort of decision in her heart, then pressed the lock button, put her phone in her pocket, and walked out of the room,

"Coming, Mom."
