Both Zhou Yongliang and Yang Liu were speechless when they heard the girl's unexpected statement. Zhou Yongliang was surprised, but Yang Liu was beyond surprised.
Zhou Yongliang glanced at his boyfriend worriedly, and his boyfriend, being as sensitive as ever, glanced back at him with a different look on his face. Instead of being painted by worries, his face was full of question marks. Even though Yang Liu remained silent, Zhou Yongliang knew that his boyfriend urged an explanation from him.
Yang Liu was still waiting for his clarification, and he was about to open his mouth to ask for it, but then he could hear the girl giggle all of a sudden.
"I was just kidding," Song Rin said. "I and Zhou Yongliang are just friends. We have never been in a relationship more than just friends."
Song Rin just stated a fact, but Yang Liu's gaze remained unfazed on his boyfriend.
