Da Youning watched in a fluster as Xiao Yao, who he believed to be with her "boyfriend!" His expressions varied from curious to puzzled to suddenly enlightened. Where did this person come from, not even knowing what a boyfriend was? But since he kept calling Xiao Yao "sister," it was now certain that this person was not Xiao Yao's boyfriend.
Xiao Yao looked at the curious Xiao Pingan and explained patiently, "Pingan, here a 'boyfriend' refers to a kind of fiancé. For example, if a girl has a boyfriend, she might eventually marry and have children with him. However, a fiancé requires an engagement, while a boyfriend does not; mutual affection is all that's necessary!"
"Oh, so a fiancé is like a boyfriend, right?" Xiao Pingan nodded.
"Hmm, you could say that!" Xiao Yao replied.
