Li Chen realized he had made a rather fatal mistake.
He had underestimated Li Youxue's intelligence.
Because when in Lan Yue City, Li Chen hadn't really thought things through, his only thought being to quickly rescue Li Youxue, so he hadn't come up with a plausible story about his origins that could withstand scrutiny.
If given ten minutes, he could perfectly fabricate an identity without any flaws.
But now, he found himself quite embarrassed.
"So, who are you really? Why did you come to rescue me?" Li Youxue's eyes fixed on Li Chen brightly, as if she were examining prey, sharp and penetrating.
"I'm Lin Chen," Li Chen feigned ignorance.
Because of his loose tongue earlier, Li Youxue's sudden question caught him off guard, so he could only play dumb now.
How did this girl suddenly become so smart? Didn't she used to obediently agree to whatever he said?
Li Chen was a bit frustrated, but he couldn't think of a good answer in such a short time.
