“What… what nonsense are you talking about?” Qingyu’s face grew hot, his ears burning. His eyes darted around, and the louder he spoke, the more it seemed like he was just putting on a brave front.
Fengguang slung an arm over his shoulder and said, “Don’t even try to fool me. My eyes are sharp—I can tell who you like with just one look.”
“She’s my senior sister! Is there a problem with me liking my senior sister?” Qingyu argued, trying to sound righteous.
Fengguang chuckled. “I don’t mean that kind of ‘like,’ and you know it. Think about it—you may only be thirteen, but you’re more mature than most kids your age. Besides, she’s only two years older than you. So really, when you think about it, liking her doesn’t seem all that wrong.”
“Xia Fengguang, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll… I’ll…”
After a long pause, Fengguang finished for him, “You’ll do what to me?”
“I’ll… I’ll ignore you!” Qingyu shoved Fengguang’s hand off his shoulder and stormed back to his room, slamming the door shut.
Fengguang: “…”
Why did it seem like Qingyu… was acting childish all of a sudden?
No, wait—he is just a kid.
She shook her head and sighed. She still hadn’t told him to give up on Guanyueyue; after all, Guanyueyue wouldn’t be interested in a younger guy. The person she liked was the Dark Sect leader—the one who’d massacred Qingyu’s entire family.
Fengguang felt a bit gloomy. She sat on the steps outside, lost in thought for the whole afternoon. When Guanyueyue returned and saw someone sitting in the courtyard, she paused for a moment. But once she recognized that it was the annoying Miss Xia, her expression soured, and she walked over.
“Hey, what are you doing squatting here?”
Fengguang didn’t even look at her. “I’m sitting here waiting to see if any lunatics will come over and talk to me.”
“You’re waiting for a lunatic to come talk to you? Then aren’t you the lunatic?”
“Since I’m a lunatic and a lunatic still came to talk to me, doesn’t that make the one who talked to me an even bigger lunatic?”
For the first time, Guanyueyue was at a loss for words.
Fengguang gave her a sidelong glance, smirking. Hah, trying to argue with me, huh, little girl? Sure, Guanyueyue was a time traveler too, but she’d only crossed into one world. Fengguang had traveled across multiple worlds and lived through several lives.
Guanyueyue had never met anyone who could outwit her in conversation, so her interest was piqued. She mimicked Fengguang’s sitting posture, sat down beside her, and curiously asked, “Hey, do you like my master?”
“So what if I do?”
“But I don’t want you to be my master’s wife.”
“I don’t care whether you like it or not. I like Xue Ran, and I couldn’t care less if you have an opinion about it.”
Although Fengguang brushed her off, Guanyueyue was even more intrigued. She scooted a bit closer. “My master is very innocent, you know. There are plenty of women interested in him, but he’s never shown the slightest interest in any of them. But with you, he seems… different.”
“What do you mean, different?” Fengguang finally looked at her directly.
“My master scolded me because of you! That’s a first!”
“What’s so strange about that? You bumped into someone, so of course Xue Ran, being a polite person, would tell you to apologize.”
“It’s not the same! In the past, even if I did something wrong, he’d let it go if I acted cute. But this time, my cuteness didn’t work! And when he was treating Tang Jiuge, he was distracted—he even made a mistake on the prescription. I bet it was because you ran off.”
