"Don't just stand around in the kitchen. Come on, get out of here with me." Wang Jian didn't give Ren Yu a chance to stay any longer. He figured if she stayed too long, she might notice something, so he immediately pulled her outside. This served two purposes: giving Xu Qian time to adjust her clothes and diverting Ren Yu's attention.
After leaving the kitchen, Wang Jian grabbed a cup and a toothbrush. He drew some water from the well, squatted in front of the courtyard drain, and began to brush his teeth. He was deliberately avoiding giving Ren Yu any opportunity to question his earlier panic, but luckily, her attention wasn't on that at all.
This puzzled Wang Jian even more. The girl just kept staring at him without a word, following him around just like when they were children. But seeing her so grown up, especially after what had just happened in the kitchen, put him on edge. He felt he had no choice but to break the silence.
