Xia Yao's POV

I was laying on the couch, bored out of my mind. Yuan Zong was at the company right now, he said that he had to meet someone important, to which I just rolled my eyes. Zhen Zhen was supposed to be here soon, too. He didn't tell me how his talk with Peng Ze went, but I assumed that it didn't go that well. He had been rather grumpy all day, once Peng Ze left. I'll have to talk to him about it.

While laying on the couch, a lot of thoughts were running through my head. They were mostly about Yuan Zong and I's relationship. I loved him, I really did. I couldn't imagine my life without him and I was even more excited for the future and what it had in store for us.

But I was also scared.

What if my mother didn't approve of our relationship? She was going to find out sooner or later. I couldn't hide this forever and I didn't want to live like this forever. Of course I wanted to be able to be affectionate with Yuan Zong whenever I wanted to, but not right now. It also had to do with respect. Us chinese or asian people in general would find it disrespectful if couples were to kiss infront of us. Especially infront of elderly people.

I knew for sure that my mother definitely wouldn't accept me for who I was. I was gay. I came to terms with my sexuality a while ago, I was so deeply in love with Yuan Zong at that point, that I just couldn't ignore it. Speaking of him, I really missed him right now. He was back to working a lot and we haven't had alone time in like a week or so, which was a long time considering I was a pretty affectionate person whenever the two of us were together.

"Hey, Xia Yao." I suddenly heard Zhen Zhen say behind me and I jumped. That's what I got for overthinking, I guess.

"Hey. Where were you?"

"Oh, just went on a walk. What did you do?"

"A walk? Really? Nice one. Now tell me, where were you?" I laughed.

"I really was on a walk, believe it or not." I could tell that something was bothering him, but I didn't know if I should ask him about it or just let it go until he told me.

"Are you okay, Zhen Zhen?" I asked slowly.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He just mumbled back.

"Zhen Zhen..."

"Seriously, I'm fine. Don't worry about it, alright? I'm going upstairs to take a shower. And don't bother calling me down for dinner, I'm not hungry anyway." And he was gone.

I was a bit worried about him. He was usually a careless person and I never saw him worried over things. But it was a process. He used to worry about the smallest things, which could be quite toxic, but ever since him and his ex boyfriend broke up, he changed. I made a mental note to ask him again tomorrow and see if he's in a better mood.
