Night, River Dam.
In a small country courtyard, the moonlight flowed like water, and spring insects chirped in a continuous chorus.
Xue Chuchu was so embarrassed she only wanted to flee.
But leaving in such an absurd manner would be too petty. Tongtong would surely think she was angry over a cup of Lemon Tea contaminated with chili powder and might laugh at her for ages.
And Jiang Ning... he did that on purpose!
But if she confronted him, Jiang Ning might simply ask, "Do you have a guilty conscience?"
How was Xue Chuchu supposed to answer that?
