At noon, Li Yifei accompanied Chu Xiaoyao and her parents for lunch. Xiaoyao was chattering non-stop, clearly very happy, while her parents maintained smiling faces and conversed with Xiaoyao throughout. To outsiders, they would appear to be a loving family of three.
However, when Xiaoyao re-entered the examination room that afternoon, her parents once again became strangers to each other. Xiaoyao's mother seemed to want to say something to him several times but ultimately remained silent.
Li Yifei guessed that Xiaoyao's mother might suspect something between him and Xiaoyao, and wanted to inquire about it, but she was probably worried about affecting Xiaoyao's performance in the College Entrance Exam, so she held back.
Li Yifei had a clear conscience about the whole matter, so there was no need for him to explain anything to them. If she didn't ask, there was even less need for him to bring it up proactively.
