Shoved hard by her, Xi Zirong stumbled back half a step before catching his balance.
He quietly watched Xu Su for a few seconds. Once he confirmed she was genuinely angry, a happy little chuckle escaped him, but he quickly adopted a serious tone. "What are you talking about, cheating? Don't be ridiculous. I haven't said a single unnecessary word to her besides explaining problems."
Xu Su raised an eyebrow. "Don't change the subject. Answer me."
"..." Xi Zirong was silent for a moment, then took her hand. "At first, I just thought her attitude was a little strange. But then she kept asking the same simple question over and over, and I started to get a vague sense of what was going on. Susu, I ignored her. Don't use this as an excuse to be mad at me."
Xi Zirong was terrified that Xu Su would use this as an excuse to start a fight and break up with him.
