On his way back, Xie Yanzhi gave Xie Fengting a call.
He was worried that Dong Yiting might actually call Xie Fengting and talk nonsense, and if Xie Fengting didn't know about it, he might say something inappropriate.
Xie Fengting quickly answered: "Son, what's going on?"
"Dad," Xie Yanzhi said, "Dong Yiting keeps pestering me. You know who I like. She said she was going to call you, don't believe whatever she says."
"This is partly my fault," Xie Fengting said, "I'll mention it to her dad... But, son, you're single. Isn't it okay for someone to pursue you?"
Without discussing it with Lu Nianxi, Xie Yanzhi wouldn't tell Xie Fengting anything.
He said, "I've clearly rejected her, and she's still pestering me, is that reasonable? If Xixi sees this, her impression of me will take a hit."
"Okay, okay," Xie Fengting quickly said, "Make sure Xixi doesn't misunderstand you. I was even thinking maybe it could stir Xixi up, but apparently that's not going to work."
