"When have I ever acted timidly?!" Xu Ke demanded. How could he just let himself be looked down upon like that?
"Haven't you?" Wang Qifu smiled. "I still remember someone saying there weren't two beds in the house…"
Xu Ke was speechless. "..."
"That doesn't count," Xu Ke denied. "You didn't dare to stay that night either, did you?"
Wang Qifu laughed. "Are you actually daring to talk back to me now?"
"This isn't talking back," Xu Ke said seriously. "I'm just stating facts."
"Oh? Is that so?" Wang Qifu's tone was light, but it quickly took on a dangerous edge. "So you're saying you're stating facts, and I'm the one being unreasonable?"
After she spoke, Xu Ke instinctively wanted to retort, but he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Damn. This is a trap.
"No, no, no, of course not," Xu Ke denied hurriedly. "How could someone as intelligent and graceful as you ever be unreasonable?"
Cold sweat beaded on his neck.
