"Haa…" Jing Ruye released a deep sigh a moment later when Sun Rouxi refused to elaborate after her outburst.
"You're really cruel, Rouxi. Why are you forbidding me from approaching Tian Yang when you don't even have any feelings for him? You're no different from a child not sharing a piece of candy that doesn't even belong to you."
"Who said I don't have any feelings for him?! I have had my eyes on him since the Immortal Monastery!" Sun Rouxi immediately replied.
However, she'd subconsciously spoken, and when she realized what she had just said, her entire face flushed with redness.
"W-Wait a second… That's not—" Sun Rouxi stopped midway when she couldn't think of an excuse.
Jing Ruye touched the smug-looking smile on her face with a finger and teased, "Now that wasn't so bad, was it? Telling the truth, that is. I bet you feel like a mountain has been lifted off your shoulders now, especially when you've held such feelings in for so long."
