"My dad specifically told us to stand in the yard. What kind of situation would that be if we ran away?"
She knew her father's temper well. If he saw that she and Shaoyu were not in the yard, he'd likely be furious.
"But you're not feeling well. You didn't have to come out with me earlier; I could have stood here myself."
He touched her face gently, feeling a bit sorry for her.
"It's okay. I bet it won't be long before my dad lets us back in."
Lan Shan said with confidence, as if she was certain of the situation.
This puzzled Gong Shaoyu, "Why do you say that?"
"Because..."
She deliberately left it hanging, playfully stuck out her tongue, and then explained, "My dad has a fiery temper, but his anger comes and goes quickly. No matter how mad he gets, he won't actually kick us out, and besides, he's afraid of my mom..."
