Chapter 192 Heart-to-heart talk
Before dinner, Ji Yan took Yu Yao, Luo Mei, and Ye Ziang to his parents' home, which belonged to the base commander and his wife.
There, Yu Yao saw Ji Yan's father, a middle-aged man who was slightly serious but still quite gentle, and who bore a five-point resemblance to Ji Yan.
There are also Ye Zi'ang's parents, Ye's father, who has a serious and dignified expression, and Ye's mother, who is gentle and graceful.
Indeed... genetics is a science!
The Ji and Ye families both liked Yu Yao and Luo Mei very much. In addition, Yu Yao had helped Ji Yan and Ye Ziang time and time again, and they owed a lot to her in this zombie horde.
Therefore, they were very friendly to the two beautiful, polite, and capable girls, but not overly enthusiastic.
Aside from the naturally passionate Chen Qianyun.
She even forgave Ji Yan for giving away the amulet because of Yu Yao.
However, she had a good sense of propriety and did not make Yu Yao feel uncomfortable.
......
After the meal, Ji Yan left with Yu Yao and Luo Mei, chatting as they walked, and soon returned to the side of Ji Yan's residence...
"This house has been empty. I just had it cleaned and tidied up. You can stay here, is that alright?"
Yu Yao said, "Of course, thanks!"
Ji Yan smiled lightly, "No need to thank me, get some rest."
"Ah."
Goodnight.
"Good night."
......
Ji Yan lives alone, so he doesn't live in a very big house, but in an apartment building not far from the villa area.
The apartment he prepared for Yu Yao and Luo Mei was a two-bedroom, one-living room unit, with one room for each of them.
The house was very clean and the heating was on.
All the furniture and soft furnishings have been provided, and a clean and soft four-piece bedding set has been put on the king-size bed in the bedroom.
Even the curtains and sofa are in the same color scheme, creating a very nice overall look.
Luo Mei praised, "Wow, Ji Yan is such a thoughtful kid!"
"Ah."
"He's grown up quite a bit since I last saw him!"
He used to be composed but naive.
But after serving as the junior base commander for so long, with more responsibilities on his shoulders, his naivety has gradually been worn away, and he has become increasingly adept at handling things.
Luo Mei was quite happy for him.
"Yes, it's becoming more and more reliable."
Luo Mei smiled. "Any regrets it?"
"what?"
Luo Mei said, "You really don't know why the boss suddenly agreed to let me come? He's afraid that if you see how good Ji Yan is, you'll stay and not leave!"
Do you really think she's stupid?
Just kidding.
Yu Yao gazed intently. "I've always known Ji Yan is a good person, it's not like I just found out today. But I don't regret it. Look at how much he already has to bear, why would I want to add to his burdens?"
"Oh? It seems the boss's worries were unnecessary."
"Ah."
Luo Mei stroked her smooth, delicate chin. "Speaking of which, isn't the boss a little too worried about you? Why does he seem so anxious? When you went to Jincheng before, he was also absent-minded every day, afraid that you wouldn't come back."
Yu Yao: "...Am I as insecure as you? Who is it that has to repeatedly confirm whether I still love you just because they see me talking to someone?"
"Hey!" Luo Mei waved her hand. "I was just joking, giving you emotional support."
"Boss, you can't be joking, can you?"
"Huh! Him???" Luo Mei suddenly narrowed her eyes as she said this, "If we're not sisters, the boss can't possibly like you, right?!"
"No, we can't!"
Yu Yao quickly shook her head.
Luo Mei looked at Yu Yao with disdain.
"What do you know? You can't even see how obvious Lin Fengmu's feelings are! You definitely can't understand our boss, who's so taciturn."
"You understand?"
"Of course I understand!"
Yu Yao was a little breathless, "I don't think you understand! I even thought Second Brother liked you, but you couldn't tell?"
"That's utter nonsense!"
"You are even more so!"
Luo Mei clicked her tongue. "Not only are you talking nonsense, but you're also getting angry and embarrassed."
Yu Yao: "......"
That's it, I can't argue with that.
Luo Mei chuckled, "I'm telling you, if the boss really likes you, why don't you give him a chance? It would be such a waste for such a handsome guy to end up alone!"
We'll handle it internally, so we won't have to worry about Ayao running off with someone else anymore!
"If your second brother really likes you, would you give him a chance?" Yu Yao asked back.
Luo Mei replied nonchalantly, "Of course I'll give it to him! Although the second brother is a bit ruthless, he's still a handsome guy! If he likes me, wouldn't I quickly have a shameless romance with him? Then I'd take advantage of him, and if I ever feel unhappy, I'd just kick him to the curb, hehehehe~"
Luo Mei's smile gradually turned lewd.
Finally, she shook her head, her face full of disappointment, "Unfortunately, he doesn't like me."
Yu Yao looked at her and said seriously, "I think he likes it!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll start talking nonsense too..."
Yu Yao: "......"
Who is it?
Then she asked, "What if... what if it were true? You two got together and then broke up. How would you get along after that?"
"Just get along however you want! It's just a relationship, not marriage. Married couples can get divorced! What's there to be afraid of? If you really can't stand it, you can just talk to each other less in the future!"
Yu Yao found it hard to accept, "What about your friendship of so many years?"
Luo Mei sighed, "Sister, you're overthinking things. Life is short, live in the moment and enjoy life to the fullest. Being happy now is enough. Besides, why start a relationship with the intention of breaking up? Can't we aim to spend our lives together?"
Yu Yao twitched the corner of her mouth. "To spend a lifetime together? That's a bit too difficult, isn't it?"
Luo Mei clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Pessimistic!"
Yu Yao nodded in agreement. She was indeed a pessimistic person and always liked to consider the worst-case scenario.
This is probably the norm for her from childhood to adulthood.
Once you learn to manage your expectations, you won't be repeatedly disappointed.
Luo Mei tapped Yu Yao's head, "Don't waste your time with these pointless thoughts. Once you start to lose yourself, you get tired very easily. It's better to enjoy the present moment and prioritize happiness."
Yu Yao lowered her eyes.
Really?
But......
"But I have already refused."
Luo Mei's eyes widened suddenly, and she gasped.
"Fuck you, sister! What did you say???"
Yu Yao looked up at her, her clear, innocent eyes like glass.
But more than anything, there was confusion and helplessness.
Luo Mei scratched her head, then scratched her head again.
It spun around in one spot, and then spun around again.
Then he slammed his left hand into his right palm, yelling, "Damn! Boss Chi really knows how to get things done quietly!!!"
Yu Yao: "......"
Luo Mei blinked her fox-like eyes, which were full of shock, "You didn't like him?"
"Not really."
"why?"
"Because it was so sudden."
Because I never thought about it that way, I never went off-topic.
He suddenly said he liked her, which really shocked her.
In addition, she was genuinely averse to the idea of her teammate becoming her lover, so she subconsciously rejected it.
"Wow! That's amazing, sister!" Luo Mei gave Yu Yao a thumbs up with sparkling eyes.
Yu Yao: "???"
"Hahaha, that guy always had that cold, menacing face! Now he's got what he deserves, hahaha!"
Yu Yao: "...No, Amei, you..."
Are you not going to try to persuade me now?
Luo Mei chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Since you've already clearly refused, it would be unreasonable for me to say anything more. That's just how it is. Love between men and women should be based on mutual consent. If it's just unrequited love, why should you have to suffer?"
Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Amei."
Luo Mei waved her hand, "No, no, no, I should thank you for standing up for so many people, hahaha."
"hehe......"
What kind of character and popularity does he have? To end up like this is truly...
Yu Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, unwilling to think about it anymore.
