Chen Yan arrived at Liu Yuan and Beibei's house, braving the heavy rain.
Beibei saw him and exclaimed happily, "Daddy!"
Liu Yuan looked at him in surprise, "What brings you here?"
Chen Yan replied, "I promised Beibei I wouldn't go back on my word."
Beibei noticed his wet clothes and said, "Daddy, you're all wet."
"It's fine," Chen Yan assured her.
"Mommy, can you get Daddy a change of clothes?" Beibei asked.
Liu Yuan responded, "I don't have any men's clothes here."
"Then give Daddy one of your shirts," Beibei suggested.
Liu Yuan shook her head, "He won't fit into my clothes either."
"How about a towel for Daddy?" Beibei proposed.
Liu Yuan turned to Chen Yan, "I'll get you a towel."
"Thank you," Chen Yan said.
Liu Yuan turned and left the room.
Chen Yan looked at Beibei and asked, "What are you playing with?"
"I'm playing with my toys," Beibei replied.
"I bought you a lot of toys," Chen Yan said.
"What toys did you get me?" Beibei inquired eagerly.
"I got you a Barbie doll, Legos, and a teddy bear," he answered.
"Where are they?" she asked.
"They're in the car," Chen Yan replied.
"Then let's go get them!" Beibei urged.
"It's raining outside right now; we'll wait until it stops," Chen Yan explained.
"Okay," Beibei agreed reluctantly.
Liu Yuan returned with a towel and handed it to him, "Here, dry yourself off."
Chen Yan took the towel and wiped his hair.
Beibei looked at him and asked, "Daddy, are you hungry?"
Chen Yan nodded slightly, "A little bit."
"Then stay for dinner!" Beibei insisted.
Chen Yan looked at her and asked, "What are you eating?"
Beibei replied, "We're having hot pot."
Chen Yan continued, "Do you have any extra ingredients?"
Beibei responded, "We have plenty of ingredients left. We're having hot pot, and there's some leftover."
Chen Yan asked, "Can I stay for dinner?"
Beibei smiled and said, "Of course you can."
Liu Yuan looked at Chen Yan and asked, "You're staying for dinner?"
Chen Yan replied, "Is that okay?"
Liu Yuan nodded, "Sure."
Chen Yan said, "Then I'll go cook."
Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "You're cooking?"
Chen Yan affirmed, "Yeah."
Liu Yuan asked again, "You can cook?"
Chen Yan answered, "I can do a little."
Liu Yuan encouraged him, "Then go ahead and cook."
Chen Yan walked into the kitchen and started preparing the meal.
Beibei followed him in and said, "Dad, I want fried rice."
Chen Yan replied, "Okay, I'll make it for you."
Beibei looked at him with admiration and said, "Dad, you're amazing."
Chen Yan chuckled and said, "Whether I'm amazing or not depends on whether your mom likes my cooking."
Beibei confidently stated, "My mom will definitely like it."
Chen Yan asked curiously, "How do you know?"
Beibei explained, "Because my mom really loves fried rice."
Chen Yan then inquired, "Is your mom good to you?"
Beibei smiled and replied, "My mom is very good to me."
Chen Yan asked further, "In what ways is she good to you?"
Beibei said thoughtfully, "My mom is very gentle; she's really gentle with me."
Chen Yan then asked, "Has your mom ever been strict with you?"
Beibei nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but it's very rare."
Chen Yan looked at her and asked, "Why is your mom strict with you?"
Beibei replied, "Because I did something wrong."
Chen Yan continued, "Your mom treats you well, but sometimes she can be strict, right?"
Beibei nodded, "Yes."
Chen Yan then asked, "Do you think your mom is strict with you because she loves you?"
Beibei thought for a moment and said, "I think my mom is strict because I'm too mischievous."
Chen Yan advised her, "Then you should listen to her and not make her angry."
Beibei responded, "I know."
Chen Yan pressed on, "What do you know?"
Beibei answered, "I know my mom works hard, and I need to behave."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "You're really understanding."
Beibei replied confidently, "Of course I am."
Chen Yan reminded her again, "So from now on, be good and don't make your mom angry."
Beibei affirmed, "I know."
After that, Chen Yan prepared the meal and placed it on the table. He looked at Liu Yuan and said, "Let's eat."
Liu Yuan asked him, "Did you make this?"
Chen Yan replied, "Yes."
Liu Yuan was surprised. "I didn't expect you could cook."
Chen Yan responded, "I can do a lot of things."
Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Chen Yan challenged her, "Don't you believe me?"
Liu Yuan smiled. "I believe you."
Chen Yan encouraged her, "Then give it a try."
Liu Yuan picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.
Chen Yan asked eagerly, "Is it good?"
Liu Yuan nodded. "It's delicious."
Chen Yan urged her, "Then eat more."
Liu Yuan agreed with a simple, "Okay."
Meanwhile, Beibei was enjoying the fried rice and looked at Chen Yan. "Dad, your cooking is really good!"
Chen Yan looked at her and asked, "Do you like to eat?"
Beibei replied, "I like to eat."
Chen Yan encouraged her, "Then you should eat more."
Beibei nodded, "Mm."
After they finished their meal, Chen Yan tidied up the kitchen and dining area, making everything spotless.
Liu Yuan observed Chen Yan and said, "You..."
Chen Yan turned to her, "What’s wrong?"
Liu Yuan continued, "Aren't you supposed to…"
Chen Yan interrupted, "Supposed to do what?"
Liu Yuan pressed on, "Aren't you supposed to stay over?"
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, "Do you want me to stay over?"
Liu Yuan shook her head, "No, I just think it doesn’t make sense for you not to."
Chen Yan asked, "Why not?"
Liu Yuan explained, "Because that’s how it’s written in novels."
Chen Yan inquired further, "How is it written in novels?"
Liu Yuan responded, "In novels, men give women many gifts and then stay over."
Chen Yan countered, "What gifts did I give you?"
Liu Yuan replied, "You gave Beibei a lot of toys."
Chen Yan clarified, "But I didn’t give you any gifts."
Liu Yuan pointed out, "Didn’t you say that Beibei's toys are also mine?"
Chen Yan corrected her, "I said Beibei's toys are mine too, but I never said they were yours."
Liu Yuan pressed again, "So what do you mean by that?"
Chen Yan explained patiently, "What I mean is that Beibei's toys are mine; they are not yours."
Liu Yuan questioned him further, "Then why did you stay for dinner?"
Chen Yan replied simply, "Because Beibei invited me."
Liu Yuan followed up with another question, "Then why did you clean the kitchen and dining area?"
Chen Yan answered honestly, "Because I didn’t want you to think I didn’t do anything."
Liu Yuan remarked, "What you're doing doesn’t make sense."
Chen Yan asked again, "Why?"
Liu Yuan looked at him. "Because that's how it's written in novels."
Chen Yan gazed back at her. "How is it written in novels?"
Liu Yuan replied, "It says that a man gives a woman many gifts, and then he stays over."
Chen Yan said, "Then I'll stay."
Liu Yuan shook her head. "No."
Chen Yan asked, "Why not?"
Liu Yuan answered, "Because you are not my boyfriend."
Chen Yan pressed on, "What can I do to become your boyfriend?"
Liu Yuan shrugged. "I don't know."
Chen Yan inquired, "Do you dislike me?"
Liu Yuan responded, "No."
Chen Yan continued, "Then why won't you let me stay?"
Liu Yuan hesitated. "Because..."
Chen Yan urged, "Because what?"
Liu Yuan finally said, "Because I don't want to sleep with you."
Chen Yan questioned, "Why?"
Liu Yuan paused again. "Because..."
Chen Yan pressed further, "Because what?"
Liu Yuan stated firmly, "Because I don't like sleeping with strangers."
Chen Yan countered, "We're not strangers."
Liu Yuan replied, "But we're not a couple either."
Chen Yan asked, "Then what are we?"
Liu Yuan looked at him and hesitated.
Chen Yan repeated, "What are we?"
Liu Yuan finally said, "We are..."
