"Life-and-death friendship? Why don't I know when this little girl shared a life-and-death moment with Young Master Bai? Oh~ right, didn't she break your arm before? Guess that counts as life-and-death."
Beside him, Duan Tang chuckled gracefully, his white attire accentuating his refined demeanor. Yet Bai Yiming could only see him as a man hiding a pitch-black heart beneath that polished exterior.
Grinding his teeth hard, Bai Yiming turned to An Yiqing and spoke in a tone that resembled the Big Bad Wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood: "Little girl, don't pay attention to him. He's your enemy—get out of his way whenever you come across him."
An Yiqing's lips twitched, a wave of speechlessness washing over her as she listened to the back-and-forth barbs peppered with sarcasm from the two men in front of her. Suddenly, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Bai Yiming and Duan Tang froze, staring at her in surprise.
