"Uh..."
Xu Nianhua felt somewhat embarrassed, this was the first time someone had confessed to her in both her lifetimes, and someone had witnessed it, too.
"How come you're here?"
Xu Nianhua changed the subject. Today was their class reunion, so why had Pei Yicheng showed up?
"I came to pick you guys up," Pei Yicheng said as he sized her up, explaining, "Auntie was worried about you guys. She was afraid you'd drink too much."
"Oh, mom really... we're all adults now, can we still get lost?"
Xu Nianhua muttered, while thanking Pei Yicheng, saying, "Yicheng, thanks for coming. I'm not worried about Nian'an getting drunk, I only drank soda."
She explained with a smile. From initially struggling to say it, now calling him 'Yicheng' felt very natural and habitual to her. She said, "I'm holding you up from your matters, we can get back on our own."
"It's no trouble."
Pei Yicheng took over the conversation, saying, "Nian'an seems to have gotten drunk."
