Regrettably, Zhang Siyi missed the rare expression on Gu Yu’s face because he was completely immersed in his own complaints…. What, “wife”! He doesn’t call himself that!

Zhang Siyi leisurely returned Gu Yu’s phone. He couldn’t stop himself from foolishly laughing: “I didn’t cook the dinner. I only helped!”

Even though lying isn’t a commendable thing, Gu Yu’s deliberate misdirection made Zhang Siyi feel loved. Gu Yu’s action was really cute!

Returning to normal, Gu Yu calmly said: “Enlightenment is good. Remember wife, you owe me a dinner.”

Zhang Siyi: “…”

After dinner, they went outside to walk the dog. Once they returned and hung up their coats, they went upstairs and sat down at the chess table. Gu Yu was going to teach Zhang Siyi how to play.

Gu Yu explained the movements of each chess piece and by playing two games with him, Gu Yu guided Zhang Siyi step-by-step. In the early stages, it didn’t matter who won or lost the game.

Having quickly learned the movements of the pieces and the rules of the game, Zhang Siyi thought chess was simple and smugly said: “What’s so hard about chess? It seems pretty easy. Come on, let’s see your skills!”

Lifting his eye site to look at Zhang Siyi momentarily, Gu Yu grinned widely: “You asked for it.”

After setting up the chessboard, with great enthusiasm, Zhang Siyi moved his first piece. Being under the care of Gu Yu, Zhang Siyi thought he would always show him mercy.

During the game, Zhang Siyi encountered danger twice. Since he was able to counter the moves and escape, he further believed Gu Yu was going easy on him. In contrast to Gu Yu’s attitude towards the girl during the day, Zhang Siyi’s heart swelled and felt intoxicated by sweet feelings.

Gradually, he realized something wasn’t quite right. Several times he had to make sacrifices to protect his pieces but it wasn’t enough. Calmly and methodical, move-by-move, Gu Yu had taken each of his own pieces.

Playing rashly, Zhang Siyi was left with a few pieces to protect his king. In chess, the queen’s power was almost omnipotent while the king can only walk one small step at a time. Zhang Siyi used his queen to protect his king for if he moved his queen farther from the king’s side, Zhang Siyi thought he would be easily taken.

Unbeknown to Zhang Siyi, Gu Yu deliberately let Zhang Siyi feel hopeful by letting him keep his queen. Gu Yu wanted to play a slow game with Zhang Siyi. Feeling pressured, Zhang Siyi realized it wasn’t easy to play both an offensive and defensive chess match.

After thirty minutes, Zhang Siyi panicked as his queen finally fell. Left with only his king, he noticed the section of the grid that was safe to move in was very small. His heart was grey.

Even now, Gu Yu wasn’t in a hurry to overtake him. Gu Yu systematically used his eight remaining pieces to slowly force Zhang Siyi’s king to move until he was completely surrounded.

Zhang Siyi desperate attempts slowly turned into despair. When he decided to admit defeat, he looked up and saw Gu Yu smiling at him with an expression that the outcome of the game was clearly expected written on his face.

Feeling a twinge of annoyance, Zhang Siyi almost didn’t resign, but finally, he knocked over the pieces and said: “I admit to defeat!”

Gu Yu smiled at him then looked at the board and said: “But I haven’t killed you yet.”

Zhang Siyi: “…” Ah, you go to hell! (╯‵皿’)╯(┻━┻

Gu Yu muffled his laughter and reset the board for another round: “Ready for another round?”

With bulging cheeks, Zhang Siyi squinting his eyes and said: “I’m not playing anymore!” Zhang Siyi thought Gu Yu’s slow pace was merciful, but in fact he had be toying with him the whole time!

Gu Yu laughed out and asked: “Are you angry?”

Zhang Siyi: “…”

Gu Yu continued to tease him: “How are my chess skills?”

Zhang Siyi stood up and jumped over the table to push Gu Yu and directly overwhelmed him. Since Gu Yu blocked his mouth, Zhang Siyi bit him instead. He is a man and wants to determine the outcome in a man’s way! …… Hey, wait, what are you doing!

The gentlemanly discussion did not begin.

“Ah, mmn…..”

A minute later, Gu Yu countered Zhang Siyi bold advances.

Five minutes later, with pleasurable sighs and moans, anyone listening would feel their heart race and face turn red.

Ten minutes later, Gu quipped in a hoarse voice: “What are you going to call me?”

Zhang Siyi: “You…” (o////o)

Gu Yu: “Well? Let me hear it.”

Zhang Siyi: “fuck off….!”

Zhang Siyi: “Mm, Ha… Ah, ah…”

Another minute later, Zhang Siyi collapsed and cried out: “Gege! Gege!”

Gu Yu smiled in satisfaction and whispered softly in Zhang Siyi ear: “Next time, call me husband.”

Zhang Siyi: “…… Get out!!!”

Monday at work, Zhang Siyi saw the director smiling at him warmly and waited for the young man to greet him as courteous and politely as before…. Unexpectedly, the director witnessed Zhang Siyi turn his head the other direction and walk right by him.

Chief Director: “???”

Zhang Siyi: – Hey I’m going to ignore you. (ˋ_ˊ)

The cousin who had access to Gu Yu WeChat hadn’t made contact again. When the Chief implicitly asked Gu Yu about his situation a second time, he finally had the chance to refuse outright. Gu Yu tactfully expressed his intentions for someone else. Elders also understand the larger issue at hand and since both children had no further intentions on this matter, there was no need to continue trying to put them together.

After Gu Yu told Zhang Siyi about it, Zhang Siyi felt completely relieved. He sincerely hoped that there will be no more random people setting up blind dates in the future!

In a flash, the week went by and in order to prepare for Zhang Siyi parents, the two men paid special attention to their home and carefully cleaned it. Zhang Siyi didn’t want anything left out that would cause his parents to misunderstand.

In reality, the two innocent boys have been relatively conservative so far. Apart from the lubricant, and the more intense times with Gu Yu in his room, there was nothing else. At this time, Zhang Siyi was really glad to have his own room. Half of the time, he was sleeping separately in his own bed.

At noon on Saturday, Zhang’s parents arrived in Haicheng. Gu Yu and Zhang Siyi drove to the high-speed rail station to pick them up. When Zhang Siyi met them, his parents seemed happy and warmly greeted him. Even though he felt moved, Zhang Siyi also felt tense.

As he had when Zhang Siyi returned home from Haicheng, his parents had a bunch of large packages and bags with them. If Gu Yu hadn’t brought his car, Zhang Siyi did not know how they would have been able to bring them all home on the subway.

Since they hadn’t seen each other for a few months, Ms. Zhang felt as excited to see her son as she did during the New Year’s Festival. She ignored any onlookers and tenderly touched her son’s face: “This time, your complexion is really good and you have slimmed down.” She took a moment to pat and feel his waist.

 “Have I? I’ve been working a lot of overtime.” Zhang Siyi smiled and twisted away. His waist had become very sensitive now that Gu Yu touches and holds it every day.

 When it comes to his improved complexion, Gu Yu should take credit. Since living together, they have been cooking a healthy breakfast and dinner regularly.

Zhang Siyi’s father saw the antics of mother and son and couldn’t stop himself from interrupting. With a rigid tone he said: “Ok. Ok. There is time to talk. Don’t let others wait.” Father Zhang was as serious as ever. Only the slight upturn in the corner of his eye betrayed his happy mood. In response, Zhang Siyi’s mother went to greet Gu Yu.

Gu Yu smiled and gestured: “Uncle and Aunt. If you please, step into the car. We will eat lunch at home.”

Zhang’s mother opened her eyes and smiled. She had always looked at her son in the best of light, but now, looking at Gu Yu in comparison, it seems like her son was tossed to the other side of the train tracks.

As they drove home, Zhang Siyi complained: “There are so many bags and boxes! What else did you bring besides crab paste and fish?”

Ms. Zhang explained: “’I’ve come to visit so naturally, there will be more. Isn’t this the Dragon Boat Festival? We also brought some dumplings that you loved when you were a child. Your grandmother gave you a bag of glutinous rice for the two of you. Oh yes, there are also plump, sweet lychees that your uncle brought over…….”

Why is it complicated? Is she the daughter of the mayor!? Waiting for his explanation, Zhang Siyi stared at Gu Yu intently.

After walking into the kitchen, Gu Yu opened the refrigerator and rummage through the shelves for ingredients for dinner. As he removed them from the refrigerator, Gu Yu explained: “The Chief’s wife’s brother is Yanyan’s cousin’s father. He is one of the Chief Directors from X Firm and he is one of the major shareholders of Borderless.

Zhang Siyi dumbly said: “So her father’s status is higher than our Chief Director?”

Tearing a head of cabbage, Gu Yu plainly stated: “Yes”

The Chief Director in a company is either elected or appointed by the board of directors. As the design director, Gu Yu is only the head of the design department. The hierarchy in the food chain is very obvious. Yanyan’s cousin’s father has the power to decide which candidates to appoint and thus, the career path of Gu Yu.

Yes, it would be the way to secure his professional future. Academic, professional, and work experience are earned on their own, but positions do not necessarily rise as their abilities improve.

In China’s environment, in addition to the academic qualifications in the construction industry, titles are given based on the depth of seniority by the number of years working in the industry. Even if a person has a higher academic background and is talented, there is a limit to the position they could obtain based on the number of years worked.

Although Gu Yu’s qualifications are sufficient, it is extremely rare to be able to sit in the position of a design director at his age. Therefore, his connections are the leading factor for Gu Yu current position.

As the title design director is the limit for a technical worker, Gu Yu has already reached the top. The privilege that Yanyan’s cousin’s father could give Gu Yu is limitless. He could pave the way for Gu Yu to directly break through the limitations of his degree and move into the direction of management which would lead him towards a higher social status.

Obviously, the appearance of Yanyan’s cousin provides an opportunity for Gu Yu to move forward.

So, why is there trouble? Was Gu Yu aiming for a future in management? Does he find the opportunity too tempting to reject? Or, is there a swing in his heart?

Zhang Siyi asked awkwardly: “What do you think?”

Finishing with the cabbage preparations, Gu Yu grabbed a slab of pork and chucked: “I am neither interested in her or in a position of management. What is there to think about?”

Zhang Siyi breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Then, what “trouble” were you talking about earlier?”

After cutting up the meat, Gu Yu was slicing a large onion and gave Zhang Siyi garlic to peel when he replied: “I can tell the director wanted to introduce me as a marriageable prospect. In the past, I might have gone to his home for a casual family dinner. When I saw the extended family present, I knew it was something more as outsiders aren’t normally present for family banquets. It was clear that the Chief wanted me to get acquainted with Yanyan’s cousin. There is no way I was invited there to befriend the chairman, right? I said it was troublesome because I could have refused outright if the invitation was given in the name of a blind date, but he used the guise of a family dinner to go to his house. Although his intentions were clear, nothing was said.”

Gu Yu frowned when he spoke. In addition, even if the opportunity was presented to him and he rashly refused, there was nothing he could show or prove outwardly that he was already in a relationship. As a result, it would have been very embarrassing for both himself and the Chief. Gu Yu felt really depressed.

Listening to Gu Yu, Zhang Siyi was also feeling depressed. He wasn’t displeased with Gu Yu’s honesty and in fact, he was rather relieved by his frankness. It was because his lover was so blatantly coveted by other people!

….. Damn it! If he bumps into the Chief, he isn’t going to greet him anymore!

Zhang Siyi handed the peeled garlic to Gu, and asked: “What did you do this afternoon?”

Thinking how uninteresting the afternoon was, Gu Yu plainly stated what he did: “Drink tea, watch financial news, and play chess.”

Zhang Siyi: “……” Why does it sound like an afternoon activity plan for the elderly?” (=_=)

Zhang Siyi: “Who were you with? Yanyan’s cousin?”

Thinking outloud, Gu Yu voiced a ‘hmm’ then proceeded to put oil in the pan. After he explained: “The elders left to play cards in the afternoon so myself and the two girls remained. We made some small-talk for a little while. Since Yanyan was an art major, there were some common points and professional things to talk about. Later, her boyfriend called to have a video chat so she left the room leaving me alone with her cousin.”

As he poured the sliced pork and cabbage into the hot pan, a loud ‘sizzle’ could be heard. Gu Yu immediately started mixing the food in the pan and when the sound was a little less noisy, he continued: “The girl was very quiet. For most of the day she remained silent.”

Recalling the afternoon scene, Gu Yu scowled. The girl didn’t speak and in fear of giving her false impressions, he couldn’t find any suitable topics to discuss. Given the situation, he didn’t want her to misunderstand his intentions.  As a result, they sat in the living room together watching the financial news while drinking tea in silence.

Fortunately, the chess board on the table helped break the ice. She asked him if he would like to play.

Gu Yu looked down at the pan: “I played with her while listening to the financial news for a few hours. She never won.” Since he was too distressed about the situation he was placed in, he didn’t give her an inch. In one game, he beat her in less than ten moves.

As he heard Gu Yu speak, Zhang Siyi saw a flash of pleasure at being able to bully her. Zhang Siyi laughed at Gu Yu’s childish expression and the moment was no longer uncomfortable: “So, you must be good at playing chess.”

Gu Yu put on the lid on the pan to make the cabbage steam and said: “Clearly, her level is too low.”

Zhang Siyi saw the chess board that was upstairs but he never saw Gu Yu play. “When did you learn how to play chess?”

Gu Yu: “When I was in college, I learned from Lao Jiang. He can really play chess, both speed chess and regular chess. When he was in elementary school, he won many amateur stages and developed an Elo score which is equivalent to the first stage of going Pro. The real child prodigy.”

Zhang Siyi: “I only play backgammon……” Why is the gap between people so large?

Gu Yu: “Do you want to learn? I can teach you.”

At the prospect of learning with Gu Yu, Zhang Siyi joyously responded: “Ok!”

Watching Gu Yu gently pour the cooked pork and cabbage into a serving dish, he asked: “What’s next? Will the Chief Director ask you to go to dinner again?”

Gu Yu grinned knowingly and said: “Yanyan’s cousin added my WeChat and what photo did I post there? When she sees it, she will understand the difficulty and retreat.”

Zhang Siyi was finally happy. When the girl saw the photo, she definitely wouldn’t continue dwelling on Gu Yu. Suddenly feeling nervous over whom might be looking at the photo, he asked: “Hey, did you add my parents to WeChat?”

Gu Yu: “No, why?”

Zhang Siyi sighed with relief: “Nothing. If you had, they will see that photo. Even though my mother isn’t the sharpest tack, I’m afraid if she saw the photo, she would guess the truth.”

In fact, Zhang Siyi feelings about the matter are somewhat contradictory. In the end, is he hoping his mother finds out or not? With her hobby of reading those-kinds-of-books, Zhang Siyi felt that she would more or less pick up on the facts, but his mother’s attitude towards Gu Yu was completely out of his expectations. From a practical standpoint, maybe all mothers do not think about the possibility that they have a gay son.

After Gu Yu took out the eggs from the fridge and handed them to Zhang Siyi to crack open, he grabbed a few more ingredients to make another dish. He continued: “Well, we will keep it hidden for now and  when things stabilize, we can slowly open up. By the way, what do you think is the reason they are coming to visit for?”

Zhang Siyi quickly relayed what he said on the phone in the afternoon with his mother to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu: “You have been back to China for a year now. Haven’t they come to Haicheng to visit the city? Come on, I will take them around.”

Zhang Siyi: “You will show them around?”

Gu Yu: “Since you live with me now, I am sure to entertain them when they come over. What’s more, I’m your boyfriend and can’t pass up this opportunity to make a good, lasting impression for their future son-in-law.”

Zhang Siyi vomited: “My parents’ impression of you is already high enough. You don’t know it, but they are always boasting about you in front of me. When I think about, it seems like they rather have you as their own son!”

Zhang Siyi saw Gu Yu’s raised eyebrows and broad smile… feeling like he missed a detail.  Wait, he suddenly reacted: “Why are you the son-in-law?”

Gu Yu turned his head sideways to glance at him: “Are you not with my surname, Gu Siyi?”

Zhang Siyi: “……”

Gu Yu swayed his head: “Didn’t you agree to follow me and take my name? So, Gu Siyi, since you are married, I am your parent’s son-in-law. Am I not? Hmm? “

With another mouthful of ‘Gu Siyi’, Zhang Siyi anxiously jumped on his foot and shouted: “That doesn’t count!”

With the last dish fully cooked, Gu Yu finally stopped teasing Zhang Siyi. He tenderly rubbed his lower back and commanded: “Okay, don’t make trouble. Bring the chopsticks and let’s eat.”

Zhang Siyi: “……” I am waiting for you, sir, from today forward, we must practice eloquence!

Before eating, Gu Yu suddenly took out his cell phone: “Wait, I want to take a picture.”

Since today’s dishes were quite common, Zhang Siyi thought it was a little strange for Gu Yu to take photos. Not only did he take a few pictures, but he also uploaded them to his circle of friends.

When Gu Yu finished, Zhang Siyi eagerly opened his mobile phone to see them: “What did you post? Is my network broken? Why can’t I see the pictures you posted?”

Gu Yu: “They aren’t visible to you.”

Caught by surprised, Zhang Siyi suddenly felt anxious and his tone reflected his hurt feelings: “What? Why?” Does Gu Yu still have a private WeChat that he isn’t privy too!?

From one corner of Gu Yu’s mouth, he smirked: “It is visible to Yanyan’s cousin.”

Immediately putting down his chopsticks, Zhang Siyi reached over and said: “Let me see!”

It took a bit of pestering before Gu Yu would unlock his phone and hand it to Zhang Siyi.

Zhang Siyi only saw the last visible message that Gu Yu posted to another group: “The happiest moment of the day: Eating a meal prepared by my wife.”

“Pfft…….!” Zhang Siyi couldn’t hold back the rice in his mouth.

“Well, now you saw it. Give it back to me.” With an expression of connivance on Gu Yu face, Zhang Siyi watched him turn pink, revealing a trace of school-girl like shyness.

Chapter 146: Situation

______________________

“Hmm.” Gu Yu was watching him. Since Zhang Siyi assertive behavior was really loveable, he wanted to stay. Sighing, he held Zhang Siyi briefly, pecked him on the lips and said: “Remember to eat something and send me a message later.”

After Gu Yu left, Zhang Siyi read a book for a while and since it had been awhile, he practiced playing the violin. Feeling bored, he pondered what else he could do before going to sleep. He decided to call home.

When the phone connected, he said: “Hello? Mom?”

The last time he spoke with his mother over the phone was when he needed his driver’s license. More often than not, any communication between them was done through WeChat. Lately, Zhang Siyi was very with work that he didn’t have the chance to talk with her; not even to tell her that he moved. Although, in reality, he probably was avoiding the subject now that he was together with Gu Yu.

Mother Zhang immediately asked him about work and his recent comings and goings. She asked him if he was planning on returning home for the Dragon Boat Festival and visit relatives.

Zhang Siyi: “I won’t be able to come home for the Dragon Boat Festival. The company is taking us to Japan on June 20^th for ten days to study architecture.”

Ms. Zhang had some regrets, but she was also happy for her son: “The company’s benefits are great! They are taking their employees overseas!”

Zhang Siyi: “I heard that the company sponsored trips are only every few years.”

Mother Zhang asked again: “When will you be free to come home? You haven’t come back since the New Year and your parents miss you.”

Zhang Siyi joked: “Maybe you do, but I don’t believe Dad does.”

Mother Zhang yelled at him: “What!? How can you say that!? He’s your father. Why wouldn’t he miss you? He’s been asking me about your work lately. If I wasn’t so busy at the hospital, I would have called you.”

Zhang Siyi vomited in his heart. If his dad wanted to talk to him, why couldn’t he call himself? Every time, it took his mother to pass the phone.

His Mother paused then asked: “Do you have time on the weekend before the Dragon Boat Festival?”

“What’s the matter?” Zhang Siyi voiced and then thought to himself: Isn’t that next weekend?

Although he and Tao Fei have to make a report before the Dragon Boat Festival, their steady progress has been faster then expected and thus, there shouldn’t be any need to work long overtime hours like they had before.

Mother Zhang said: “If you have time, next weekend, we will come visit you in Haicheng and bring you something delicious.”

Upon hearing his mother’s statement, Zhang Siyi immediately sat straight up from the couch. If they come, they will discover his relationship with Gu Yu!

His Mother explained: “Your father has a friend who recently sent us some fresh fish and we can’t eat it all. I thought I would have the housekeeper prepare your favorite fried fish dish and bring you some. You can eat it as a snack or when you want a quick dinner.”

Fried fish was one of Zhang Siyi’s favorite dishes and listening to his mother’s proposal made him feel greedy. However, he was still scared and said: “Or I will come home next weekend.” In fact, it would be quite convenient to travel home on the high-speed rail for one night and then come back the following day for his business trip.

When she listened to him, she decided that Zhang Siyi was free next weekend and told him: “I saw you hard at work staying up late in company as well as your business trip travels in WeChat. Mom is so distressed! Don’t bother coming back for only one night and a day. I’ll bring your father for a rare chance to spend the weekend with you. It’s a good excuse to get outside and walk around. It’s settled.”

Zhang Siyi: “……” It’s settled!?!?

His Mother continued: “Oh right, there are also crabs. We can’t eat them all in this hot weather so I’ll have the housekeeper make crab paste for you as well.”

Feeling a bit anxious, Zhang Siyi decided it was better to tell his mother about his move beforehand otherwise he might inadvertently reveal his real relationship with Gu Yu.

“Mom, I have to tell you something. I moved and now rent a room in Gu Yu’s house.” Zhang Siyi said placing special emphasis on the word ‘rent’.

Mother Zhang was momentarily silent: “Really? When did you move? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Siyi answered her: “Its been six weeks since I moved. Do you remember my college friend I mentioned who had an accident at home over New Years?”

Mother Zhang: “Yes. I remember. He was the one who rented an apartment with you.”

Zhang Siyi spoke briefly about Fu Xinhui’s affairs with his mother then said: “He went abroad afterwards. I wasn’t able to stay in the same apartment and since there was a room at Gu Yu’s I could rent, I moved.” Zhang Siyi was worried about how she would respond so he waited nervously for his mother to speak.

Ms. Zhang took a minute to respond: “Living together with Gu Yu is really good! You are both in the same industry and there is still a lot he can teach you. He is a very stable, mature person and you will do well to take after his habits and work ethics. It will be great for you!”

Upon hearing his mother’s enthusiasm, Zhang Siyi practically fainted. He was worried that his mother would question him more about his relationship with Gu Yu. It must have only been in his head. And besides, listening to the tone of his mother’s statement, why was she acting as though she was happily marring off a daughter?

…… This, this must be his delusion!

Mother Zhang continued: “I have to be honest with you. Your Father and I were very worried about you when you told us about your roommate’s situation, but now that you are staying with Gu Yu, our minds are at ease. Oh yes, I’ll tell the housekeeper to prepare a little extra fish and crab paste for young Gu.”

Zhang Siyi: “……“  It seems as though his mother was very happy that he lives with Gu Yu. But, how happy would she really be if she knew the truth? (=_=)

Zhang Siyi news was completely updated after a few more pleasantries. Saying goodbye, they hung up the phone. Zhang Siyi sat on the sofa for a while in a daze. Finally coming out of his reverie, he sent a WeChat to Gu Yu: “My parents are coming.”

Five minutes later, Gu Yu replied: “What!?!?” and sent a ‘Little-Fox-Shocked’ sticker then asked: “When?”

It was extremely rare for Gu Yu to express such a shocked and scared expression. Feeling happy about his response, Zhang Siyi explained: “They will visit next weekend.”

Gu Yu: “…”

Gu Yu: “Well, we can talk about it later at home.”

Zhang Siyi was a little irritated at the speed with which Gu Yu seemed to have calmed down. “How’s dinner going?” he asked. (→_→)

Gu Yu: “I just finished eating. I gave them the excuse of needing the restroom when I saw your message. I have to be brief. The situation is a bit troublesome.”

Zhang Siyi was surprised. “What troublesome situation? Was the Chief really trying to play matchmaker?”

Gu Yu: “Well, we can talk about it later. I have to go back to the living room now.”

Zhang Siyi: “……”  What’s this ‘talk about it later’? He wants to know now!

Although Zhang Siyi can understand that Gu Yu is a guest in another person’s home and chatting on the mobile phone isn’t polite, having heard about ‘trouble’ and then ‘talk later’, Gu Yu was making Zhang Siyi feel anxious!

Waiting in anticipation all afternoon, when Zhang Siyi heard someone at the door at six o’clock in the evening, Zhang Siyi rushed over to open it for Gu Yu and asked: “What’s the situation?”

Taking off his coat, Gu Yu let out a long sigh. He looked really tired and frowned: “The Chief Direction really did have a plan, but it wasn’t about his daughter. It was about Yanyan’s cousin and the situation with her isn’t so simple.”

Zhang Siyi: “……”
