I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

Lin Zhou's throat bobbed involuntarily. Although Ye's father had been smiling gently from beginning to end, the oppressive feeling was much more terrifying than Bai's father, who was shouting how cute Wanwan was.

Strange.

Is it because of the smiling face that gives people the impression of someone who is all smiles and no substance?

How scary! How scary! How scary!

If I explain that nothing happened, will I die here? Probably not, right?

That would be better than just saying he'd cooked and eaten the fish, but the problem is he'd never actually eaten it—Lin Zhou's relationship with Ye Zhiyu was limited to touching her leg and Ye Zhiyu playfully giving him a chocolate-flavored kiss last time.

At this moment, Ye Zhiyu walked out as if nothing had happened. She pulled out the chair next to Lin Zhou, sat down, and then struck a ladylike pose.

"Ahem~" Ye Zhiyu coughed softly, then coughed again, lowering her voice slightly to reveal a pitiful tone.

Lin Daiyu.

"Xiao Zhou, don't be nervous." Mr. Ye smiled and raised his hand, signaling the waiter to start serving the dishes. Then he turned his gaze back to Lin Zhou. "Today is just a simple family meal, nothing more."

family?

Are these three words something we can just say casually?

Ye Zhiyu, who was standing next to him, said, "That's right, Lin Zhou, don't be nervous."

Lin Zhou: "..."

Where did you just happen to go?! Why are you putting on such a weak and vulnerable act for whom?

Is this you?!

Ye Zhiyu blinked innocently, but her foot landed on Lin Zhou's instep. Not to be outdone, Lin Zhou reached out and pinched Ye Zhiyu's calf. Ye Zhiyu was not expected to do this, and her body jerked so hard that the dining table clattered!

"Little Fish," Ye's father suddenly spoke.

「到！」叶知鱼立刻坐直身体，双手乖巧地放在膝盖上，那张平时写满欠揍的脸蛋，此时竟然露出了一个温柔可爱的笑容，

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

Mr. Ye glanced at her with a half-smile, ignoring her feigned obedience, and looked back at Lin Zhou, "Xiao Zhou, Uncle has seen what happened on WeChat Moments."

It really happened!

Lin Zhou straightened his back instantly, and after thinking it over, he finally spoke up to explain, "Uncle, it's actually a misunderstanding!"

The private room fell silent for a moment.

The beautiful women sitting on either side of Ye's father looked over at the same time.

Mr. Ye still didn't show any particular expression, he just nodded, "Hmm, it's okay, you can explain slowly."

Lin Zhou sorted out the timeline and continued, "That day we were playing games, and Xiaoyu was so tired at night that she fell asleep on my bed... and after she woke up, we hugged each other."

Mr. Ye nodded slightly. "And then?"

"Then……"

Lin Zhou said, "We did lie in the same bed, but we didn't do anything. We just cuddled and slept!"

Ye Zhiyu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Daddy, we really didn't do anything."

Suddenly, Mr. Ye asked, "Did you hug him?"

"I did hug him..."

"Did you kiss?"

"I...I did kiss you...it happened before."

"Where are the clothes?"

"Um... I helped Lin Zhou take off his clothes, since he was injured back then, but that was in the past," Ye Zhiyu replied.

Mr. Ye raised his hand and gently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"So—you stayed in the same room, lay in the same bed, slept together all night, kissed, and even took a shower together, and Xiaoyu took pictures the next day, but you didn't do anything?"

"Yes..." Lin Zhou said this without much confidence.

Ye's father looked at him. "Do you think I should believe you?"

"..."

This whole thing is full of flaws from beginning to end. Let alone Ye's father, even if you just dragged in any random waiter from outside, they would probably look at him with the same eyes you would use to look at a scumbag after hearing about it.

"uncle."

Lin Zhou said with difficulty, "It's actually quite normal that you don't believe me."

Ye Zhiyu nodded, "Indeed, I don't believe it either."

Lin Zhou rubbed his forehead.

"Daddy, actually we did it," Ye Zhiyu said. "We tried everything, but we were just exchanging ideas and learning from each other."

God!

What kind of in-depth communication is this?

"No way!" Lin Zhou broke down.

Just as Lin Zhou began to consider whether there was any chance of survival if he jumped from the top floor of the hotel, Ye's father suddenly laughed and said, "I believe it."

"Huh?" Lin Zhou was stunned.

Ye Zhiyu turned to look at her father, scratched her head, and asked, "Daddy, you really believe that?"

Why don't you believe me?

Ye's father remained calm, "I watched you all grow up. I know exactly what kind of person Xiaozhou is."

Lin Zhou was immediately moved.

Trust does exist in this world after all!

"Although he is a bit lecherous, he would never force anyone. He is also a responsible person, and if he did do something, he would definitely admit it directly."

Lin Zhou: "..."

Is this a compliment?

Mr. Ye continued, "Besides, with Xiaoyu's personality, if she really wanted to do something to you, you probably wouldn't be able to resist. My daughter has always had a stubborn streak."

Lin Zhou: "..."

Ye Zhiyu: "?"

The women nearby finally couldn't help but laugh. One of them, a brown-haired woman in a light-colored dress, gently patted Ye Zhiyu's shoulder. "Your father is right, hahaha."

Ye Zhiyu's cheeks puffed up, but she still acted obediently and didn't kiss in front of her elders.

After watching for a while, Mr. Ye suddenly revealed an even gentler smile, "Since you two have such a good relationship that you can even sleep together, why don't you get engaged first?"

"..."

Lin Zhou and Ye Zhiyu both froze.

got engaged?

Why did the topic suddenly jump to engagement?

"Daddy... I don't want to get engaged yet..."

Ye Zhiyu was the first to react, pointing at Lin Zhou and then at herself, "My relationship with him is purely platonic; we're completely innocent!"

"Completely innocent?"

Ye's father seemed to have expected her to say that, "With a solid emotional foundation, it won't be easy for us to get divorced in the future."

"Your mother and I were childhood sweethearts, and back then it was just a pure friendship. Now we have six children, don't we?"

The curly-haired woman sitting next to Ye's father nodded with a smile, propping her chin on her hand. "Yes."

Ye Zhiyu couldn't sit still any longer and immediately stood up. "We have a purely platonic brotherly relationship. We usually put our arms around each other, help each other out, and shoulder things together. There's nothing like what you're thinking."

Lin Zhou nodded frantically beside him, "Yes, yes, that's it! That's exactly it."

"That would be even better."

Mr. Ye nodded with a smile, "When brothers get married, there's no need for an adjustment period."

Ye Zhiyu: "?"

Lin Zhou: "?"

Did you even understand what we were saying?

Seeing his daughter stand up, Mr. Ye smiled and said, "Wouldn't it strengthen the bond between brothers if they had a child together?"

"ah--"

"What's wrong, honey? Do you have another boy you like?" Mr. Ye asked. If that's the case, he really needs to reconsider.

"No, not at all..." Ye Zhiyu said.

Although Lin Zhou's appearance was passable, she didn't like sickly men...
