"Did you hear that?"
Xie Yichang looked at the girl in front of him, who was lowering her head, feeling a mix of disappointment and frustration.
"Huh? Oh! I heard it!"
Lan Ruo Yi hadn't expected her thoughts to be caught so easily and quickly responded. She lifted her head and met the silent gaze of the man before her.
"Well, as long as she doesn't like men, that's fine," Xie Yichang thought, somewhat resigned. As long as she didn't have a crush on any boys, it would be manageable.
"Huh?" Lan Ruo Yi was surprised by how twisted this family seemed. They wanted her to like girls? She could accept that, but did Xie Yichang's family truly accept it?
"Do you have a bias against heterosexuals?" Lan Ruo Yi asked cautiously, stealing glances at Xie Yichang's expression, only to find his face darkening even more.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If we had a bias, where would you come from?" Xie Yichang was taken aback by how much her thinking had changed in just over a month.
In the end, he remained sullen. Mo Wan and Liu Ru Yan didn’t say much; Mo Wan seemed to want to speak up while Liu Ru Yan just wanted to leave quickly.
"Xiao Yan, my brother is so outrageous."
Lan Ruo Yi felt a bit dazed. Was this really discrimination against heterosexuals? It wasn't clear at all.
"Which brother are you talking about?"
Liu Ru Yan's first thought was Mo Wan, but hadn’t he just been talking to Xie Yichang?
"Xie Yichang, do you know what he just said?" Lan Ruo Yi looked at Liu Ru Yan expectantly. Liu Ru Yan played along and asked, "What did he say?"
"He just said that as long as I don't like boys, it's fine!"
Liu Ru Yan stood there in shock, staring at Lan Ruo Yi with a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "Are your family really that open-minded? This may be a new era, but I've never seen anything like this before."
I asked him if he discriminated against heterosexuals, and he said I was talking nonsense.
"Xie Yichang, do you dare to clarify what I said?"
The two of them couldn't quite grasp what Xie Yichang meant. They had been here for almost a month and hadn't made much progress.
Suddenly, Lan Ruo Yi exclaimed, drawing Liu Ru Yan's attention.
"What?"
"Are you saying he wants me to stay away from men so I don't embarrass him?"
As soon as she voiced it, Lan Ruo Yi nodded in agreement.
Liu Ru Yan also recalled Lan Ruo Yi's past exploits: "You know, that might actually be true."
It seemed he didn't really know me well; if he did, he wouldn't say such things.
The more Lan Ruo Yi thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Liu Ru Yan was at a loss for words: "He really doesn't understand you; you shouldn't go around causing trouble for others."
"Well, you know me too well! No wonder you're my sister!" Lan Ruo Yi said, and Liu Ru Yan initially thought she was going to criticize herself again.
But then she heard something that left her speechless.
"By the way, I've been meaning to ask: how did you end up getting close to those guards?"
Liu Ru Yan raised her question; she hadn't had the chance to ask before and didn't really care until now since she was interested in someone herself and wanted some tips.
"That's a harsh way to put it! What do you mean by 'getting close'? We just discovered each other's strengths during our boring lives and explored them together."
Lan Ruo Yi would never admit that she had been flirting; they were just having fun.
"I find that sometimes you resemble people from this era," Liu Ru Yan remarked, amazed at Lan Ruo Yi's shamelessness.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"For instance, your way of speaking—I've never seen you learn to be so eloquent before."
Lan Ruo Yi rolled her eyes. In the past, she had tried her best to avoid speaking, but now that there was no immediate danger to their lives, why was she still being silenced?
"Huasheng, you've discovered a blind spot."
As the two of them playfully bickered, Liu Ru Yan's phone rang. She picked it up and stared at it, hesitating to answer.
Looking at Lan Ruo Yi, she said, "It's Lin Su. What should I do? You answer it!"
Liu Ru Yan felt flustered; she didn't want to deal with her superior. This was something better left to Lan Ruo Yi.
With a resigned sigh, Lan Ruo Yi took the phone. "Hello, Sister Lin Su, this is Lan Ruo Yi."
Lin Su was surprised that it was Lan Ruo Yi on the line. She checked her phone to ensure she hadn't dialed the wrong number.
"Is Ru Yan there? Is she sleeping?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Ruo Yi instinctively wanted to pass the phone to Liu Ru Yan.
Liu Ru Yan quickly waved her hand and mimed lying down with her eyes closed.
Lan Ruo Yi hadn't expected this: "Ru Yan isn't feeling well and has fallen asleep."
"Fallen asleep? Alright, then I'll just let you know," Lin Su replied.
"Huh? Sure, go ahead," Lan Ruo Yi responded promptly.
Liu Ru Yan leaned closer to the receiver and urged Lan Ruo Yi to put it on speakerphone.
They placed the phone on the table and activated the speaker mode, sitting beside it to listen to Lin Su speak.
"So here's the thing: in a week, we have the annual meeting. Originally, Ling Jie wanted to perform a program, but Jiang Zong rejected it. So we just need to attend the annual meeting on time."
Lan Ruo Yi could imagine Jiang Zong's expression when they reported to him; it seemed like he found it amusing.
She wondered what exactly Jiang Zong had seen that made him so averse to the program.
"Ling Jie is really too funny; those two girls are quite entertaining."
"Alright, we will definitely attend on time," Lan Ruo Yi said as she hung up the phone, still in disbelief.
"Are we really not going to participate?"
Ahhhhh, I want to say it! I just learned that the author’s random thoughts can be blocked, so what was I doing before? I've been discovered as a chatty person? The company's anniversary celebrations have been so busy recently. I have to have meetings every day. I'm so depressed. Just like in my novel, I feel like there's no need to hold meetings if I can participate.
