Xia Yi turned to look at Qin Jiayan when she heard his voice and replied, "Yes?"
Qin Jiayan stared out the car window into the dark night and remained silent for a long time.
She frowned and then prompted him again. "Jiayan?"
As though he had not heard her, he instinctively clutched the steering wheel. Then he seemed to have made up his mind about something; he pursed his lips slightly and tilted his head to look at Xia Yi as he said, "Let me know when you're free in the next few days. I want you to come have dinner at my house."
Because he was sure that he wanted to start a new life with Xia Yi, Qin Jiayan knew that he should ask her to be his girlfriend or, at least, to date him exclusively, but he had said these words to Su Qing when he had been young, so he had difficulty getting them out now, thus he had only managed to ask her to come to his home for dinner.
