"Nothing’s going on." Since Yan Huan hasn’t clearly expressed her feelings, Ji Chuan decided to respect her wishes.
For now, they’ll just call each other friends.
"Don’t lie to ." ng Qingi didn’t believe Ji Chuan, "Just look at the way you look at her."
"It’s nothing like that." Ji Chuan laughed involuntarily.
"Nothing? You think I don’t know what’s on your mind?" ng Qingi patted Ji Chuan’s chest, "Just say what’s on your mind, why hide it?"
"Mom—" Ji Chuan was soaked and the water kept dripping down, "Can you let finish my shower?"
"No way. Until you spill it out, you can’t go." ng Qingi didn’t believe she couldn’t get useful clues from her son.
"Qingi, let him go. It’s the sa afterward. Look at him half-naked, it’s indecent!" Ji Shuanglin said.
"Yeah, mom! Let go."
"Alright. When you’re out, you’d better explain in detail." Only then did ng Qingi relent.
When Ji Chuan ca out of the bathroom, Yan Huan was already up, and his parents were preparing breakfast in the dining room.
"How are you? You okay?" Ji Chuan asked, towel-drying his wet hair.
"I’m fine." Yan Huan said, a bit awkwardly, "Explain to your parents in a bit."
"I know. Don’t worry." Ji Chuan laughed, "No need to be so anxious! Just be yourself like always! No need to feel awkward! You’re the daughter of a deputy commander of the military district! Haven’t you seen big scenes? At my house, it’s just a few people, and you’re worried?"
"I..." Yan Huan thought, indeed, she’s witnessed all sorts of scenes, but her emotions felt all wrong at Ji Chuan’s house. Why is there a feeling of being restrained and unable to let go?
"Go wash your face and have breakfast." Seeing her frozen in place, Ji Chuan urged her.
Yan Huan walked a few steps, turning back three tis with each step.
Ji Chuan stood still, smiling at her, "What’s wrong?"
"Will your parents dislike ? Will they think I’m that kind of girl?" Yan Huan still asked.
"No, they won’t. I’ll explain to them. Don’t worry!"
ng Qingi had breakfast ready, just waiting for the family to sit together and eat.
While Yan Huan wasn’t there, ng Qingi grabbed Ji Chuan to return to the earlier question: "Honestly, what’s your relationship with this Yan Huan?"
"Friends." Ji Chuan finished speaking, then deliberately added, "Just friends."
"Don’t play tricks on your mom. Look at how you look at her."
"I look at you the sa way." Ji Chuan refused to admit, "You’ve really got it wrong. She heard you weren’t feeling well, so she ca with to see you. She’s the sister of Yan Ye whom I ntioned to you. You know Yan Ye, right?"
"Stop changing the subject! Not talking, huh?"
"It’s not that I’m not talking. It’s really not like that." Ji Chuan was at his wit’s end, "He knew this would co up. He really wants to introduce Yan Huan to the parents, but Yan Huan still has so little issues."
"Alright then." Seeing her son not admitting, ng Qingi stopped pressing him, she smiled slightly, but the next words made Ji Chuan’s back feel cold, "I was worried earlier! Now that you guys have no relationship, I can relax."
