Not far from the Qian Family's home, Han Mingyue couldn't help confronting Zhen Yu: "You lied when you answered Teacher Qian's question today!"
Zhen Yu remained silent.
Unable to get a response from her, Han Mingyue pressed further: "Why did you lie? Your little aunt has never been to your home..."
"Enough!" Zhen Yu rebuked in a low, stern voice.
An awkward silence filled the space between them.
After walking a bit further, Zhen Yu finally said softly, "I have my reasons for lying, it's just not convenient for me to tell you right now."
Han Mingyue asked gloomily, "Just like it was inconvenient for you to tell Teacher Qian?"
"Uh-huh."
Hearing Zhen Yu's affirmative answer, Han Mingyue blurted out the question, "Then why didn't you just lie to me as well!?"
Zhen Yu was silent again.
For a long time.
A few steps away from the fork in the road where they would each go their separate ways home, she suddenly stopped.
Han Mingyue halted his steps too, turning to face the girl.
