"Director, please don't falsely accuse me and He Zhilan, we are not in a relationship, we are very good friends, but not in that way!" Tan Heqian became anxious as soon as he heard it, thinking that it must have been when he and He Zhilan were discussing her parents' affairs and someone saw them. If he was misunderstood by the teachers that he and He Zhilan were dating, it would be really hard to clarify.
Tan Heqian's thoughts were also what He Zhilan was thinking, so, He Zhilan knew that the director certainly wouldn't believe Tan Heqian's explanation.
So, He Zhilan pondered for a few seconds before she responded, "Director, Tan Heqian and I have known each other since we were young, so our friendship is naturally different from others. I regard Tan Heqian as my sibling. I was feeling a little down recently, so Tan Heqian has been comforting me. I think that might have led to this misunderstanding."
