Xiao Yi was afraid she would worry, so he didn't tell her that Chu Jinyu was lost. Instead, he said that Chu Jinyu was with him.
Later, when he learned that Chu Jinyu was studying at the Tai'an Prefecture Academy and was unwilling to return, he thought that it was fine for him to be with Xie Yushu, so he left him there for the time being and planned to bring him back when he returned to the capital.
