"Really?"
Although he'd guessed as much, Zhao Luzheng was still a little surprised when Zhang Bo confirmed it.
But the next second, Zhao Luzheng's eyes lit up.
"What? What?"
"Eldest Brother, hurry up and tell us!"
Zhao Luzheng urged him anxiously.
"Heh heh."
Zhang Bo chuckled twice more.
"Sure, you were lucky enough to see a monster before, and that's pretty enviable."
"But what happened to me wasn't bad either."
Zhang Bo paused.
The way he was showing off made Zhuge Yun's hands itch.
"I rode in a monster's car and flew through the air."
Zhang Bo enunciated every word.
His face was full of smiles.
Thinking of that night, he couldn't stop grinning.
Especially when he saw the very similar expressions of shock and envy on Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng's faces, his smile grew even wider.
The corners of his mouth nearly reached his ears.
"W-what?"
Zhuge Yun dug at his ears.
Had he heard that right?
"You..."
He stammered. "You rode in a monster's car... and flew through the sky?!"
Was that for real?
Could you actually do that?
"Eldest Brother!"
Zhao Luzheng cried out.
He suddenly grabbed Zhang Bo's hands in both of his.
"?!"
Zhang Bo jolted.
Instinctively, he yanked his hands free of Zhao Luzheng's.
Then he realized he might have overreacted.
"Ahem~"
Zhang Bo pretended nothing had happened, looking a little puzzled.
"W-what are you doing?"
"You really rode in a monster's car?"
Zhao Luzheng didn't mind that Zhang Bo had pulled away.
His full attention was on what Zhang Bo had just said.
"Heh heh."
Zhang Bo raised his chin slightly, wearing an expression that was just a little too smug.
"Of course it's true."
"Do you think I'd lie to you?"
