At that mont, besides embarrassnt and annoyance, the young girl’s ears quietly turned red. Her eyes showed no hint of displeasure, and she even seed sowhat accustod to Yan Yan’s actions...
Everything made him uncomfortable.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Chu Yibai returned to his apartnt almost in a daze, tossing the bracelet carelessly in the living room before heading to his room to change out of the fully ard star gear.
When he ca out again, he found that his mother, Mrs. Chu, was already sitting on the living room sofa.
She was holding the bracelet he didn’t manage to give away.
Seeing him co out, she asked, "Little White, why didn’t you give this bracelet away? Didn’t see her, or does the girl not like it?"
Chu Yibai had specifically asked his mother’s opinion when choosing the bracelet, so Mrs. Chu recognized it imdiately. Wasn’t this the bracelet he was going to give to that young girl today?
The young girl who disappeared for two years and whom her son had been thinking about for two years, finally coming back.
Chu Yibai paused slightly, looking a bit forlorn: "She said she doesn’t wear jewelry."
"Well, next ti, choose sothing else then. No worries, mom will pick for you. Perfu, scarves, shoes, I know all about those!"
Chu Yibai remained silent.
Mrs. Chu finally noticed sothing was off with him: "What’s wrong?"
Chu Yibai said sulkily, "She seems to have soone she likes."
Mrs. Chu’s eyes widened: "What? When?"
Chu Yibai recounted what had happened in the private room, and when he ntioned Yan Yan, Mrs. Chu’s expression beca complicated:
"Yan Yan? How does she know Yan Yan?"
"They’ve known each other for two years," Chu Yibai replied without much enthusiasm.
Mrs. Chu looked at her son’s face, and thought about Yan Yan’s trouble-attracting looks, and his fearso thods...
After hesitating for a mont, she tentatively said, "Son, how about you like soone else instead?"
"..."
Chu Yibai retreated further into silence.
Mrs. Chu finally realized she might have hurt her son’s self-esteem a bit. Clearing her throat, she said, "She might not necessarily like Yan Yan. What if there’s so misunderstanding? You’re feeling bad by yourself here, why not just go ask her directly?"
Chu Yibai pursed his lips for quite so ti, not saying anything.
After Mrs. Chu left, he took a shower in the bathroom. While lying on the bed, he was still thinking about it.
Finally, he gathered the courage to send a ssage to Yun Qiqi.
It was already 10:30 PM by this ti. Yun Qiqi had taken a nap in the lounge, and her headache was gone.
She leaned against the pillow, gazing at the city’s bustling yet lonely night view outside the window.
Her small face was blank, her mind not fully activated, just instinctively wanting to snuggle over.
However, when she shifted over, she only found a soft pillow, not the hard yet warm embrace she was used to.
Feeling a bit unaccustod, she furrowed her brows slightly, wanting to find him.
But after glancing around, she didn’t see anyone.
She vaguely rembered that before she fell asleep Yan Yan seed to have gone to the adjacent office for work.
A WeChat notification sound from her phone beside her finally brought her back to her senses, making her slightly more awake.
She yawned and sat up, reaching for her phone to check it, only to find it was a ssage from Chu Yibai.
Oh, she had almost forgotten about Little White. They had dinner together earlier that evening, was he just getting ho now?
She opened it to find not a ssage letting her know he was ho safely, but rather a mysterious line.
[Luo Luo, can I ask you...a question?]
