Wu Bie was currently fiddling with the campfire; he moved aside the stone he had been warming and gestured for Yan Wanqing to sit down before taking a seat on another stone beside her.
"You didn't have to go to such lengths," Yan Wanqing said, feeling somewhat apologetic.
Wu Bie smiled charmingly, "The Commandery Princess is a friend of Huai Yu, and that makes you a friend of mine, Wu Bie. Now that the Commandery Princess is wounded all over, taking extra care as a friend is only natural, unless the Commandery Princess doesn't consider me, Wu Bie, a friend."
"How could that be..." Yan Wanqing hastily began to explain, "We've known each other for so many years, of course, we're friends."
She realized she had been played only after seeing the mischievous smile on Wu Bie's face.
She wasn't one to hold a grudge, and her lips curled into a relieved smile: "Then I must thank you."
