Wang Xia looked at him in astonishment. "What are you laughing at?"
Xue Xingzhou looked at her and said, "Who told you that we have to get married just because we're on a blind date?"
"Isn't that how it works?"
Xue Xingzhou leaned back, crossed his legs, and gave her a sidelong glance. "A blind date is just to see if our values align and if we click. Right now, it's obvious we're not a match. And you want to compare yourself to my sister? You may have a bit more schooling, but what have you really learned? That's like trying to sail a great ship in a small ditch."
Wang Xia stared, her small eyes wide. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Xue Xingzhou laughed softly. "It means you're having pipe dreams."
"You... How could you be so cruel?" Wang Xia pointed a finger at Xue Xingzhou, her eyes welling with tears. Furious, she shot to her feet, clapped a hand over her mouth, and ran out the door.
