"Xiao Zhou, why is your face so red? Is it because it's too hot?"
While showing concern, Huo Qingyan touched Ye Zhizhou's face.
Ye Zhizhou was slightly embarrassed and could only nod awkwardly.
Qin Xuan saw through the situation but didn't say anything, instead helping Ye Zhizhou out of the predicament, "Mom, let's go back, we should pack our bags."
Huo Qingyan was immediately brought back to her senses by his interruption, and she walked away with Qin Shixun.
"Zhouzhou, I've accepted the ring. When are we getting married?"
Qin Xuan looked at Ye Zhizhou, his eyes full of inquiry.
Ye Zhizhou pretended not to hear, covered his ringed hand with his bag, and coughed lightly, "Let's go back to China first."
...
Three days later, after saying goodbye to the Liao family, Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan boarded a plane back to China.
Ye Xiufang couldn't bear to part with Ye Zhizhou and cried for a long time while holding her.
Lin Rupei and Liao Ting handed her a bank card, saying that she could just use this card whenever she came to Japan, without needing to exchange currency.
Although Liao Yuanren was not at home, he still sent her a WeChat message to check on her.
Ye Zhizhou was also reluctant to part with them, but he thought that J country and Z country were not far apart and the transportation was convenient, so he could go whenever he wanted.
Back at the Ye residence, Ye Qian gave him a bear hug as soon as he entered.
"Zhouzhou, you're finally back!"
Although the two often contacted each other via WeChat, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Ye Qian always felt that something was missing.
Ye Zhizhou was so breathless from being hugged by him that Qin Xuan put down his suitcase and greeted Ye Qian.
"Ye Qian, Zhouzhou can't breathe."
Ye Qian's gaze fell on Qin Xuan, and a small flame of anger ignited within him. He immediately released Ye Zhizhou and rushed towards Qin Xuan, grabbing him by the collar.
"How dare you come back? Zhouzhou was so heartbroken because of you!"
This was the first time he had spoken to Qin Xuan so sharply; in the past, no matter what happened, he would always maintain his composure.
He had witnessed Ye Zhizhou's heartbreak firsthand, and Ye Zhizhou was his most beloved younger sister.
Qin Xuan did not lay a hand on him, letting him grab his collar and curse angrily.
His dark eyes were clear and deep, and his voice was low, "It's my fault."
Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Ye Huaibin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Qian's arm, "Qian'er, we all know Qin Xuan's character, don't be impulsive."
He used to be prone to impulsiveness due to various emotional matters, but since losing Dong Xinqi, he has begun to learn to calm down.
"Ah Qian, your uncle is right, don't be impulsive."
Upon hearing that Ye Zhizhou had returned, Guo Miao, dressed impeccably, made a special trip to the Ye family and stood next to Ye Huaibin to offer some words of advice to Ye Qian.
Ye Qian bit his lower lip and looked at Ye Zhizhou, who nodded.
"Brother, it's all in the past now."
Hearing his sister's words, the fire in Ye Qian's eyes finally died down. He slowly released Qin Xuan's collar, but still didn't want to talk to Qin Xuan. He helped Ye Zhizhou carry the suitcase inside on his own.
Ye Huaibin forced a smile, "Qin Xuan, Qian'er is just too concerned about Xiao Zhou, that's why he's acting this way. Don't take it too seriously."
As the son of Dong Xinqi's best friend, Qin Xuan was someone Ye Huaibin had watched grow up, and he knew Qin Xuan's character all too well.
"It was indeed my fault, and it's normal for him to be angry."
For the first time ever, Qin Xuan admitted his mistake and even spoke up for Ye Qian.
Ye Huaibin recalled when they were both young. Even though Qin Xuan was younger than Ye Qian, he never admitted his mistakes in front of Ye Qian, always making Ye Qian suffer in silence.
