Ji Liang scoffed. "Little Shushu, I was already shameless enough to ask you for a thank-you gift before.
Now you've turned the unique thank-you gift I'd been dreaming of into something that practically everyone gets. It's not special at all anymore.
Shouldn't you be the one racking your brain right now, thinking of how to make it up to me?
That's how you can show your sincerity.
By the way, I'll be thinking of you tonight, Little Shushu. I'm sure you're also looking forward to me keeping you company through the long night, aren't you?
The thank-you gift will have to be doubled..."

Si Shuo yanked her hand back again and mumbled guiltily, "I'll go home and think about it!"
For lunch, she gnawed on two freshly grilled fish, stewed a clay pot of braised pork and mushroom rice, and drank a cup of homemade fresh fruit tea.
