Chapter 286: Heartbeat (Extra release for monthly passes)

"You... you still can't speak properly?" Yun Kai sneered, "Every word you say is a trap, and if someone isn't careful, they fall right into it, just like before. Although I was the one who brought you up, it was always you setting the traps for me."

Huo Tingzhou maintained his good-natured demeanor, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, "Mhm, my fault, and after we went home, too, I didn't explain to you. Mainly because I've never needed to explain this sort of thing to anyone, I thought you'd understand. I only just realized that sometimes, apart from apologizing, one should also explain."

Yun Kai was always one to respond to softness rather than force.

She had no defense against a soft approach—couldn't fight it, couldn't scold it, and didn't know what to say, "You don't need to make it clear, and I don't want to hear your explanations."

Their relationship didn't require explanations.
