"Why pretend?" Xiao Jinsheng tilted her head and asked, "Do you want me to like you, or the side of you that you're pretending to be?"
"Can you like both?" Lou Yan Zhi replied with a smile.
"You're so greedy." Xiao Jinsheng sneered.
"I've always been like this with you." Lou Yan Zhi gazed at her fervently, making Xiao Jinsheng's cheeks blush with discomfort.
She turned around and took two steps forward. "Weren't you saying you wanted to go home with me? Why aren't you keeping up now?"
"But you're going the wrong way." Lou Yan Zhi placed a hand on Xiao Jinsheng's shoulder, helping her turn in the right direction. "This Secret Realm resides in my heart, so to leave, our destination is me."
"Speak in human terms." Xiao Jinsheng was not in the mood to interpret.
"It's easy to go out; I just need to move my thoughts." Lou Yan Zhi responded with a helpless smile.
He tightly held Xiao Jinsheng's left hand, interlocking their fingers under her gaze.
