This feels like the first time someone's stood up for me so directly.
My heart feels all warm and fuzzy, and Ou Jue's perpetually stoic face doesn't seem that annoying anymore!
"Ou Jue, thank you!" Xia Xiyan clasped her little hands behind her back, speaking with a bright, cheeky grin.
Ou Jue let out a cold sneer, dripping with disdain. "Do you think I actually care about your thank-you?"
As he spoke, he leaned in slightly, his handsome face moving just a little closer to hers. "Xia Xiyan, your taste in guys back then was really... pathetic."
"!!"
Xiyan instantly knew he was referring to her past crush on Luo Mingchuan.
"Uh… You heard about that?"
"Some people are so loud, I could hear her wailing from eight hundred meters away."
"..." Xiyan clenched her tiny fists, forcing herself to maintain a smile. "Actually… I should probably explain. What I said earlier? You don't need to take it seriously…"
