"Oh, you know..."
Qian grabbed another tissue and blew her nose forcefully, "How could I not know? You came to Q City just for a blind date. This is the only thing you've begged me for, there's nothing else. Let me tell you, no way."
She definitely didn't want outsiders to see her snotty conduct.
Qian is someone who pays special attention to her image. Now her cold is so bad, blowing her nose every 5 minutes, and it's the kind with sound effects. Going out like this is too embarrassing.
"Please, we're friends!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll pass my cold on to your blind date?"
"Passing it on would be great. I don't want anything with him; it's my dad who said it's bad not to give face to an old friend. I'm reluctantly going to see him, but dining with a stranger is awkward. Just accompany me, and you don't have to talk at all; you just—"
"I'll just disgust him with blowing my nose? Tell me, that's not what you're thinking."
"Um..." Just a tiny bit, I swear it's not much.
