I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 69 Don't overthink it, let's just stay the same as before.

After dinner, the group prepared to leave. Liu Wei first drove Tang Zhi to her apartment building.

"Bye-bye! Auntie, you promised you'd come over to my house sometime!"

Liu Wei waved at her and said:

"Okay, okay, Zhou Heng and Xiao Ran are coming to your house this weekend, right? Keep an eye on Zhou Heng, don't let him cause trouble for your mother."

Tang Zhi chuckled and prepared to turn and leave: "It's okay, it won't happen. I'll go now, Auntie, please drive carefully."

"Alright, go back now."

After Tang Zhi left, Liu Wei rolled up the car window and drove away, taking Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran home.

Sitting in the back, Yin Mengran gazed at the night view outside the car window, at the houses still with their lights on, and a slight smile touched her lips.

A few days ago, she thought she would be left alone, gazing at the lights of countless homes, yet homeless.

But now, she sits in her comfortable car, ready to return to her peaceful new home.

The two people sitting in front of me became like family, making me feel at home again.

At this moment, Yin Mengran suddenly realized that if she became Zhou Heng's mother's goddaughter, would she and Zhou Heng become siblings?

That doesn't make sense, does it? They're not a blended family, and they weren't adopted, so they don't really have much to do with Zhou Heng. Basically, they each do their own thing.

She calls Zhou Heng's mother "Mom," but she and Zhou Heng have no relation whatsoever. They could be family, friends, or classmates, but they could never be siblings.

Thinking of this, Yin Mengran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief...

Liu Wei drove Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran to their apartment building. Before they got out of the car, she said:

"I just got a phone call before dinner. I have to go back tomorrow. Zhou Heng, remember to let me know when your results come out!"

"Okay, okay, I got it, but don't get your hopes up too high..."

Zhou Heng nodded, then got out of the car and walked towards home.

After getting out of the car, Yin Mengran didn't rush to leave. Instead, she stood aside, looking at Liu Wei inside the car, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

When Liu Wei saw Yin Mengran like this, her eyes slightly lifted, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"Go back now, baby. I'll come see you another day. We exchanged phone numbers and added each other as friends, so just let me know if you need anything. Don't be shy."

Yin Mengran raised her head, a joyful smile playing on her lips. She nodded emphatically and said:

"Okay, Mom... Take care and be careful on your way back."

Yin Mengran's soft voice reached Liu Wei's ears. She was slightly taken aback, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled charmingly.

She opened the car door and got out of the driver's seat.

Yin Mengran was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was wrong.

The next second, Liu Wei moved closer to Yin Mengran, gently cupped her face in her hands, and kissed her forehead.

Yin Mengran's eyes widened, a hint of surprise flashing in them. Then, Liu Wei whispered in her ear:

"Don't get sick."

Even after the car drove away, Yin Mengran remained standing there, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

She reached out and placed her hand on her forehead, her mouth slightly open. Only the occasional blink of her eyes proved that she wasn't petrified.

The cool summer night breeze brushed against her face, ruffled her hair, and made her feel slightly chilly, but her heart burned with an intense, unyielding heat.

Seeing that Yin Mengran hadn't come upstairs for a long time, Zhou Heng came downstairs, walked out the door, saw Yin Mengran standing there, and called out:

"What's wrong? Going home? Isn't it cold outside?"

"oh oh..."

Yin Mengran regained her senses and quickly went forward to enter the building with Zhou Heng.

While riding the elevator, Zhou Heng spoke up:

"The weather is getting cooler. My mom gave me some autumn clothes. Take a look and see which ones you can wear. You can wear them for now, and then you can buy more when you have time off. I'll give you the money, so don't refuse. This is what my mom wanted."

Yin Mengran nodded and answered honestly:

"understood."

Back home, Yin Mengran watched Zhou Heng's retreating figure. Something remained unspoken in her heart.

She felt she should ask Zhou Heng for clarification, lest she offend him unknowingly.

"Zhou Heng..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Heng heard Yin Mengran's voice and turned to look at her.

Yin Mengran turned her head to one side, holding her elbow with one hand, and asked softly:

"Um... I mean... if I become your mother's goddaughter... would you be unhappy? Would you mind?"

She asked in a low voice, after all, Zhou Heng was her own son, and she should at least ask for his opinion.

If the other person minds, then of course she can't push her luck, even if... she's really afraid of changing the outcome.

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow, paused for a few seconds, then shook his head and said:

"You're happy about this, my mom is happy, I'm happy that I got all my living expenses, so how could I possibly mind? It's just that your relationship with my mom has changed, but my relationship with you hasn't changed. Don't overthink it, let's just be the same as before."

Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Yin Mengran felt relieved. Her biggest worry was that her relationship with Zhou Heng would deteriorate and not be as good as before.

Since Zhou Heng has said so, she can rest assured.

"Ok!"

The two took turns showering that evening, changed into their pajamas, and prepared to go back to their bedroom to sleep.

Looking at the bed where the two were sleeping, Yin Mengran thought about how her godmother probably already knew about her and Zhou Heng sharing the same bed...

So she didn't say anything? Does that mean she tacitly agreed?

Zhou Heng also walked in, looked at the bed in front of him, and suddenly remembered what his mother had said yesterday.

"By the way, my mom said that this house is a bit small for the two of us, since there's only one bedroom. So when the lease expires, we'll have to move to another place."

"Ah... I see."

Yin Mengran's eyes flickered, and her answer was somewhat reluctant.

The thought of moving to a different house back then probably meant it wouldn't be a single bedroom anymore, which means...

Zhou Heng and I will no longer sleep together at night...

Yin Mengran's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly dismissed the thought in her mind.

What am I thinking...? This situation must be really tough for Zhou Heng.

He's big and strong, after all; it must be very uncomfortable for him to share a bed with me.

Zhou Heng disagreed with Zhou Heng's offer to sleep on the sofa. If there were two bedrooms, Zhou Heng would have much more room to sleep, which would be a good thing.

Why do I feel a little disappointed...?
