"I just wanted to ask for your help, but I was too shy to approach you."
Sang Yuan's eyes were clear, his tone sincere. Anyone who saw him would have believed him.
But Ni Bingyan didn't.
'Shy?'
'Too embarrassed to say anything?'
Ni Bingyan's eyes narrowed slightly. 'Do you take me for a fool?'
"What is it you need? If you wanted my help, why not just come to my house? Even if you're shy, you could've asked a neighbor to introduce us, right? If you really didn't want to be seen, you could've @'d me in the homeowners' group chat. And if it was something private, you could've added me on WeChat, explained the situation, and asked to chat. Did you think I wouldn't accept? But none of that really matters. The main point is, why were you following me? Do you have any idea what that is?"
'What a total creep!'
'If this weren't a society governed by law, I'd beat him to a pulp.'
Sang Yuan's back stiffened a little.
