After receiving a verdict of "not bad," Jiang Yourning smiled and returned the compliment:
"You seem pretty nice too. Not nearly as unreasonable as people say."
"Insolent! How dare you speak to this princess like that!"
Chu Lange abruptly wiped the smile from her face and glared fiercely at Jiang Yourning.
Jiang Yourning refused to back down, widening her eyes and staring right back.
They locked eyes in a fierce standoff for several seconds before Jiang Yourning suddenly laughed first.
Chu Lange frowned at her. "What are you laughing at?"

"Pour this princess a cup too!"

How lovely! I made two good friends on today's outing~
"This princess hates you! I don't want to be your friend."
