Leng Keyan could no longer maintain her composure.

"I'm not here, so tell me, where should I be?"

Leng Keyan's voice sounded a little aggrieved, and her eyes were wet, making her look quite pitiful. "It's so late at night, if I don't keep my boyfriend company, who should I keep company with?"

"I've already explained about the beauty queen of the Foreign Languages ​​Department. She's my cousin's girlfriend, and she only delivered breakfast to make money. I stopped doing it after you stopped liking her."

Yin Siyao looked at the person but didn't say anything.

Leng Keyan felt even more aggrieved: "You've been sleeping all day, and I can't wake you up no matter what I do. I'm so scared. What if something happens to you?"

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until finally she lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously digging into the sheets.

Yin Siyao looked at the person for a while and then sighed.

"I just worked a night shift and it was quite a long time... I was a bit tired, so I slept for a while."

Remembering what she needed to explain, Leng Keyan spoke again: "Teacher Yin, there's something I want to tell you."

"Um."

Yin Siyao responded and leaned against the headboard. "Go ahead and speak."

"That's right," Leng Keyan licked her lips, her throat dry, "I lied to you, but it really wasn't intentional."

Yin Siyao's expression remained unchanged; he simply looked at the person and quietly waited for what was to come.

This calm only made Leng Keyan more panicked.

He would rather Yin Siyao be angry, scold him, and question him than remain indifferent like this.

"I lied to you about my parents."

Leng Keyan's eyes were red. "I didn't want to lie to you, but I just had a brain fart at the time."

Yin Siyao raised an eyebrow. So, in the end, it still came to this?

"They disagree, right?"

Yin Siyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Is it because I'm old, or because my family is too poor? Tell me the truth, stop lying to me."

Leng Keyan: "......"

Yin Si turned her head away: "What happened this morning was voluntary, you don't need to feel pressured."

"What are you talking about? My parents didn't object."

Leng Keyan hurriedly explained, "They initially disagreed because they felt the age gap was too big, and they were afraid that I was just playing around and would hold you back."

"But after realizing I was serious, she stopped objecting and even told me to bring you home as soon as possible."

Yin Siyao's eyelashes trembled.

"Also, that's not what I lied to you about. I told you that my parents are genuine farmers, but they are actually... very wealthy farmers."

Leng Keyan quickly added, "It's the kind of place with tens of thousands of acres of land, several farms, and a pretty high annual income."

"Strictly speaking, they are still farmers. Because they work in the fields regularly. I just didn't make it clear, and it's not like I'm lying..."

After saying that, he held his breath and stared intently at Yin Siyao's face.

Yin Siyao's expression remained unchanged.

He simply stared at Leng Keyan calmly for a long time, so long that Leng Keyan thought she was about to be tortured to death by this silence.

Then, Yin Siyao spoke, her tone devoid of emotion: "So, this is what you lied to me about?"

Something about what I'm saying doesn't feel quite right.

Leng Keyan was a little confused.

"Really nothing else?"

Yin Siyao asked again, her tone even tinged with confusion, "You'd better explain yourself clearly all at once."

"This is the only thing I lied to you about, there really is nothing else."

Leng Keyan opened her mouth, her mind still reeling, "I promise, I'll never lie to you again. I really know I was wrong."

Yin Siyao looked at the person and suddenly smiled.

Leng Keyan was terrified and immediately knelt on the ground.

She cried pitifully, "I've reflected on my actions all night and I truly know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

"Leng Keyan," Yin Siyao was so angry she wanted to slap her, "do you know what I was thinking when I answered your call yesterday?"

Leng Keyan shook her head.

"I was wondering if you were going to tell me that your family doesn't approve and that you want to break up with me."

Leng Keyan's eyes widened in surprise: "How is that possible? I'm not a puppet that can be manipulated at will."

He immediately contradicted himself after saying that, "No, I'm a puppet, Teacher Yin's personal puppet."

Yin Siyao was both amused and exasperated, and continued, "I'm even wondering if you've regretted it. Maybe you think being with me is too troublesome and tiring, and you don't want to continue."

"I didn't," Leng Keyan immediately retorted, "Only a fool would regret it."

"I'm thinking," Yin Siyao turned her gaze back to Leng Keyan's face, "what should I do if you really say that?"

Yin Siyao's voice was calm, but Leng Keyan saw a fleeting glint of tears in her almond-shaped eyes.

It was very brief; it disappeared quickly.

"So, you're saying your parents aren't farmers, but wealthy farmers—is that a lie?"

Yin Siyao completely relaxed. "If I had to choose, I'd rather hear this than anything else."

Leng Keyan's nose tingled, and tears fell unexpectedly.

She rushed over and hugged Yin Siyao, burying her face in his shoulder, her voice muffled: "I'm sorry, Teacher Yin, I'm so sorry."

"I was afraid you would be angry, afraid you would ignore me. I didn't lie to you on purpose at first, I was just afraid you would think there was too much of a gap between us, afraid you would reject me because of it."

Are you afraid I'll feel inferior?

Yin Siyao gently patted Leng Keyan's back.

"Mmm." Leng Keyan nodded, her tears smearing on Yin Siyao's pajamas. "I was afraid you'd feel unworthy of me, but it's clearly me who's unworthy of you."

Yin Siyao laughed again: "Silly girl, if I were insecure about money, I wouldn't have agreed to be with you in the first place."

Leng Keyan looked up, her eyes red: "Really?"

"real."

Yin Siyao looked at the person, her eyes softening, "I like you. Not your family, not your money, but you as a person."

Leng Keyan leaned over and kissed Yin Siyao's lips.

"Teacher Yin, you are so kind. How can there be such a good person as you?"

Yin Siyao didn't say anything, but just rubbed Leng Keyan's fluffy head.

In fact, he had long suspected that Leng Keyan's background was not simple.

From the nonchalant way he mentions "my uncle is the big star Lu Er," to the innocent naiveté he exudes, it's clear he's been well protected.

But he doesn't care.

The only person he ever cared about was Leng Keyan.

"Would you like to eat something?"

Leng Keyan's voice regained its usual energy, "You haven't eaten for so long, I'm worried..."

"Go get my clothes, I'll wash up before I eat."

Leng Keyan glanced at Yin Siyao, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously, "How about I carry you? I'm afraid you'll get tired."

In the afternoon, he asked his uncle, who said that the first time would be very uncomfortable. He told him to take good care of Yin Siyao and not to tire her out.

Walking can be tiring.

Yin Siyao was puzzled: "How can walking be tiring? I'm not disabled."

"But my uncle said that walking will hurt..."

Yin Siyao's ears turned red: "That's because they played too wildly, and their wounds have been torn open. Don't follow their bad example."
