"I'm not trying to scare you, but I'm genuinely a little nervous. I've never accompanied a man to meet his parents before... This is so sudden!"
Her words made me incredibly nervous. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and then asked her, "If my dad asks you later how you came to like me, what will you say?"
Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment, then stared at me for a long time before replying, "Michael, is it too late for me to back out now?"
I slapped myself hard on the head and asked, "Isn't there anything about me that you can appreciate... Look at me, with my thick eyebrows, big eyes, and upright appearance, aren't I pretty handsome?"
"So later, I'll say... I'm attracted to your good looks?"
I snapped my fingers and replied, "That's it. The simpler and more direct it is, the more confident we seem."
Ye Zhi nodded, and just as I was about to start the car, she suddenly asked me, "If your family asked you what you liked about me, how would you answer?"

"The train might be delayed."
"Why don't you make a phone call and ask?"
"Wait another ten minutes. If it hasn't arrived by then, I'll make a call."
As soon as I finished speaking, my phone vibrated in my hand. I felt like I had grabbed a hot potato, so I switched it from one hand to the other. Then I looked at the screen and found that it wasn't Lao Mi calling, but Yang Sisi.
I breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Ye Zhi, who was also watching closely, "It was Yang Sisi who called."
Ye Zhi nodded and turned to the other side, seemingly unwilling to listen to what Yang Sisi and I had to say. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I had wronged her. Even if I had changed a spare tire for her on the highway, I shouldn't have made her repay me in this way, especially since it wasn't something she was good at.
If, after this incident, there's any question of who owes whom, it's definitely me who owes her.
