Xia Fang was unaware that the two were neighbors. She believed that Chen Yuan had moved in to satisfy Xia Xinyu's request.
"Hmm."
Xia Xinyu suddenly realized how useful Chen Yuan's signature interjection was—when you don't want to lie, yet are forced to give an answer, just go with "hmm."
Deceive others, but not yourself.
"Then, Auntie, I'll give Chen Yuan a call to let him know..."

What's the fun in something fake, just like a variety show?
You have to look for the most genuine reactions.
"Auntie," before knocking on the door, Xia Xinyu spoke on behalf of Chen Yuan, "He actually doesn't really agree with living together... with a roommate right now, especially since he's still a high school student. It doesn't sound very good."
"So you mean to say, he's actually quite proper and takes this matter very seriously?"
