Perky Xiaotong

"I didn't lie to you, did I? My master really is a wonderful person." An Xiaotong spoke sweetly, clearly still immersed in the honey jar of standing against the whole world.

Bai Ye stroked his chin, seemingly mulling over Fang Xubai's words before he left.

"He really is a decent guy, just a little tone-deaf."

"You!" An Xiaotong instantly bristled. This time, she did not care who was watching. She lifted her little foot in pink flip-flops and stomped viciously on Bai Ye's foot.

"Ow! You crazy woman, couldn't you stomp on a different foot?" Bai Ye sucked in a breath of pain and hurriedly grabbed the nearby doorframe for support.

"Hmph, no." An Xiaotong lifted her chin slightly and strode past Bai Ye with her head held high.

Bai Ye was instantly enraged. When had the god of the New Era ever suffered such provocation?

Anger surged from his heart, and evil sprang to mind. As An Xiaotong strutted past him, her rear swaying with each step... he gave it a hard slap!

Smack—!

An Xiaotong froze on the spot, and the air fell abnormally silent.

Beside them, Pei Qingyue covered her mouth and snickered. She truly had not expected this young couple's everyday interactions to be so entertaining. They were genuinely flirting through bickering.

"Ah!!!"

The scream was like a suddenly snapped violin string, so piercing it nearly tore through the air.

It was an outburst of shame and fury, choked with tears yet brimming with vicious resolve.

"Bai Ye!!!"

An Xiaotong whirled around, her little fists clenched tight. Tears glimmered in her furious eyes, making her look like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.

Bai Ye immediately sensed disaster. Oh no, she seemed genuinely angry.

He had not expected An Xiaotong to be so thin-skinned.
