A-Yuan was a little surprised they'd both agreed to it so quickly. He really had thought it was a lame idea the instant he'd said it, but the others seemed on board. "I mean... It's kind of just what it sounds like. We'd decide an order to go in, for example, me, then Zizhen, then you, Jingyi, followed by me again. We can swap the order too. I say a word, like 'kitten' and Zizhen says the first word that comes to his mind. Pretend it's 'vet', because we just dropped them off there, then Jingyi, you'd say a word that you associated with 'vet'."
A-Yuan felt a little self conscious, he was pretty sure that was the most he'd said in front of Zizhen since he'd arrived on their doorstep the night before. "I like the getting to know you thing, so maybe if we want to know how someone got to a certain word, we can ask them to explain," he shrugged weakly at the end, feeling a little lame again.

Zizhen chuckled and shook his head. "Every time I learn more about your family, I somehow continue to be surprised. Did you ever go on long drives with your family? Did you get to eat then? Or just... didn't eat? Or ate at restaurants?" He asked Jingyi curiously.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Word association is basically like, one of us says a word, and then the next person says the first word that comes to mind. So like... For example, if I chose..." He tried to think of a word, and happened to pass by a sign for a fast food restaurant, "burger, perhaps you or A-Yuan would think of a fast food restaurant, or cows, or something, and then the next person would continue. So like, I said burgers, maybe you said cows, then A-Yuan would say animals, then I'd pick... I don't know, cats. Etc. And it just goes on. It's not a game per say, but it's something entertaining to pass the time during the drive."

Jingyi thought both of their explanations over and said, "That sounds like it could be fun, especially with the explanations, or maybe having to guess each other's explanations first and then have the person who said the word say if someone got it and then explain if they didn't."
Jingyi laughed at Zizhen's confusion about his family and said, "I mean, I didn't go on long drives back in China all that much. We lived in a big city, and you don't drive unless you absolutely have to or are going way out of town into the country. I took public transit or walked for everything. But we did drive back to the ancestral Lan family house and grounds once a year for Lunar New Year, and that was a long drive. We didn't eat in the car though, usually not at restaurants either, we'd just stop at rest stops and the like and get out of the car to eat."
He wasn't sure if this was actually a weird thing or not, but it seemed to confuse Zizhen at least.

A-Yuan couldn't help but giggle, "did you hide snacks and bring them with you? I have a hard time thinking about you without some sort of food around you. You love to eat." He pretended to look around Jingyi as if searching for something, "I'm surprised you don't have fried chicken on you now."
"Zizhen, did you want to pick a word to start?"
