Chen Yan quickly encouraged her to firm up her thoughts, "We are definitely good friends."
Zhao Ying nodded, smiling as she hooked her arm around Chen Yan's shoulder, "Right. We are good friends. You, me, Qiao Qiao, Nuan Nuan. We are all good friends."
Chen Yan nodded, then reached out to disengage from Zhao Ying's arm around him, saying, "Since we are friends, our actions should not be so intimate."
Zhao Ying, looking at her arm being pushed away, couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Chen Yan explained earnestly, "Because we are adults now. Adults need to be mindful of their actions."
"Such intimate actions should only be shared between lovers."
Zhao Ying looked at Chen Yan with a bit of confusion, then thoughtfully nodded.
Seeing that Zhao Ying "took it in," Chen Yan also nodded in satisfaction, then said, "So, we should keep our distance in the future."
"We can chat, talk, and even play around. But not to this extent."
"We are good friends. Just good friends."
