Chapter 786 Putting effort

?Chyou listened to his side and apology and softly smiled. She held his hand in hers and softly. "Thank you, Yin. I want to apologize to you too. I was really insensitive last night. I didn't mean to say the things I did...not in the way that would hurt you. Let's have a proper conversation. I don't want any bitterness to stay between us."

Yin's eyes slightly widened and his lips parted in disbelief. It was out of his expectations that he would get to hear these words from Chyou.

Was it...really that easy?

He solemnly nodded. "Sure. Let's talk."

They walked along the park road and sat on a bench under a tree.

Chyou twiddled with her fingers and asked, "First of all, let me tell you that I didn't handle the conversation quite properly last night. Especially about the drugs part. I was really rude towards the ens. I should have listened to you more and understood your side."

He gave an awkward smile. "That's okay. Chyou. I don't blame you. I did hide from you so I was at fault too."

She pressed her lips. "It's because you didn't want me to be disappointed. I do understand that sentiment. But I believe we need to properly talk about this and find a solution," she then asked cautiously, "How...severe is your addiction?"

He stiffened.

She quickly said, "Please don't be afraid, Yin. I don't mean to judge you or anything. I love you. As someone who I cherish, I don't want that person to continue on this path. It's harmful, dangerous and addiction only ruins our life. That's why I want to help you overcome it."

Yin hesitated and didn't know how to answer. He looked away, slightly squeezing onto her hand tighter. "It's not that bad...Just sometimes when I am anxious or just worn out..."

"If you want to rate on a scale of one to ten, how many times do you think you do it?"

Yin felt a little difficult to breathe.

I was terrified for no reason!

Chyou broke his daze and continued. "It's good that we decided on one part. Now concerning Yating..."

Yin was about to respond when he paused and held back his words. He silently gave it a thought and changed his way to approach the subject.

He helplessly waved his hand. "...It's okay, Chyou. Forget that I said anything. I guess I was too high and agitated to make any sense. It must be the drugs and all perhaps that I...o-

overreacted. I am sure Gu Yating just treats you as his friend."

Chyou could read his eyes like an open book. Though his words expressed his understanding, his gaze told a different story.

"Yes, you are right. Yating and I are just good friends. The marriage discussion that happened before is already a thing of the past. But...I have decided to keep my distance with him nevertheless. I understand your discomfort too. Maybe I would have been the same if it was me at your place?"

Yin couldn't believe what he was hearing. Until last night, she was extremely protective of her friendship with Yating, but now she was ready to let go of that for his sake.

"No, no, Chyou! You really don't need to-"

She shook her head and smiled. "It's fine, Yin. I...don't think Yating and I will get many chances to meet anyway," she cleared her throat as she clasped her hands, "It was just because of the movie shooting and commercials that we started meeting frequently. So, I believe it's for the best if we have a professional relationship."

Yin choked a bit on his voice. "Chyou, you..."

He pulled her in his arms and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Chyou. I am really the luckiest man in this universe to have you."

She smiled with a little awkward tremble and stuck out her tongue. "Were you in doubt until now?"

"Nope, but today just solidified it further."

"Great! Ah, I feel so much lighter now. Oh yes!" She sheepishly grinned. "Mom and I were talking last night and she said how my family would love to meet you sometime. It's nothing serious. They just want to know you better."

"O-Oh..." he inwardly sweated, his heartbeats panicking. "Sure let's plan for that too."
