"I just thought the prompt could be wrong, too."
Facing Media's suspicious, are-you-an-idiot look, Fu Qian casually offered an explanation.
"That's not a very clever excuse."
To his surprise, after her initial shock, Media quickly regained her composure and smiled at Fu Qian.

"Thank you for your appreciation."
Fu Qian replied politely, then took his leave of the beautiful teacher without showing a hint of unease.
