He Zhiyao didn't know how to continue the conversation.

He still had a slight headache.

He didn't know how it had come to be interpreted as running away from home.

He didn't even have a home, so where could he run away to?

He Zhiyao "Hmm"ed and asked helplessly, "What do you want?"

Qin Shuang: "Can we meet and talk?"

He Zhiyao was silent for a long while before he replied with one word, "Okay."

Qin Shuang: "Then where are you? Should I come find you?"

He Zhiyao: "Go back to Bailu Garden, I'll head back now."

Qin Shuang: "Okay."
