"Okay, this sounds very serious." Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan added, "You can share it if you want to. If not, it's fine too. We can just sit here for a while."
Though he wanted to know what was stressing Yitian for quite some time now, he also didn't want to force things out of him. He wanted Yitian to take an initiative to share it with him when he feels like it.
"I—It's about Liying, she left."
Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "What do you mean? As far as I know, she is in her grandparents place and will be back soon."
"She left because of me." Sighing in dejection, Yitian explained, "A day before she left, we had a very weird conversation. She told me that she likes me—"
"And what did you do?"
Gulping in nervousness, he answered, "I think I left her alone and ran away."
