The monk could run, but the temple couldn't.
Since she had already agreed, she naturally wouldn't go back on her word.
Besides, Song Chuxia didn't like deceiving people with lies over things like this.
Song Qianqian finally left.
Song Chuxia closed the door.
She felt a weight lift from her heart.
Realizing her own reaction, Song Chuxia gave a wry smile.
Next...
She'd still have to deal with Song Qianqian.
Quite a lot, too.
Just thinking about it was exhausting.
"...Shan Gao."
After hesitating for a long while, Song Chuxia tentatively spoke up.
"I'm sorry I raised my voice at you earlier."
She apologized again.
"I was annoyed after seeing Song Qianqian, and I took some of it out on you."
"I'm sorry."
"...Is that why you didn't say anything just now? Because of how I treated you earlier?"
Song Chuxia asked cautiously.
"Were you worried I'd complain to Master Xiao?"
"I didn't."
"I went to Master Xiao earlier because I wanted to know whether you'd accepted my apology."
She wasn't a child.
And Master Xiao wasn't her parent.
How could she keep running to him to complain?
Even if she wanted to, she would have to consider what Master Xiao thought.
Besides, Master Xiao had already put a "lock" on Shan Gao last time.
Now that Master Xiao had taken precautions against Shan Gao potentially going too far, going to him again so soon to bring up the same thing would be like doubting his ability, wouldn't it?
The dormitory was filled with silence, just as she'd expected.
Song Chuxia swallowed.
She was getting a little thirsty.
"...The next time I see Song Qianqian and she starts talking about the boy she likes..."
Song Chuxia's gaze drifted unconsciously.
"You can do what you did before."
