Ye Chen swore he hadn't done it on purpose, nor had he expected Xin Fan to overthink things so much.
He got out of bed quietly, slipped into casual clothes, grabbed his phone, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
While brushing his teeth, Ye Chen replied to Xin Fan's message: "Sorry, I fell asleep as soon as I got back last night, and my phone was on silent. Don't overthink it. You spent the whole day with us yesterday and were tired enough already. Of course, we couldn't let you pay the bill too."
After replying to the message.
Ye Chen switched his phone to vibrate mode.
Xin Fan, wrapped in his blanket with his ear pressed to his phone, dark circles beneath his tightly shut eyes, immediately widened his eyes and checked his phone upon hearing Ye Chen's reply.
The moment he saw it was a message from Ye Chen.
Xin Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Brother Chen, your parents are my parents. Why are you being so formal with me over that little bit of money yesterday? What time are we leaving this morning? I've already planned today's itinerary too. Tonight, I'll personally drive Yao back to school."
Ye Chen glanced at the message, the corners of his lips lifting as he replied: "No rush. We can leave after they've all woken up."
"Alright, I'll wait for your call." Xin Fan replied instantly.
After washing up, Ye Chen went to the study and sent Ke An the lyrics, sheet music, and backing track for Birthday Song, along with the lyrics and sheet music for Serve the Country with Loyalty, Farewell My Concubine, Nunchaku, The General, and Young China Speaks, asking her to arrange the backing tracks and recording.
A moment later.
