"Ah... huh?"
Xi Xi looked at Ma Xiaotao before her, a thoughtful expression on her face as the other girl's outrageous remark slowly raised a question mark in her mind.
Burning up?
She had been talking about Chu Ge, yet Xiaotao said she was burning up!
Ma Xiaotao said nothing. She looked a little dazed, and her body temperature was shooting up.
"Xiaotao?"
"Are you all right? Why is your face so hot? Even if I was talking about Chu Ge, you don't need to react this strongly..."
Xi Xi couldn't help touching her cheek. Feeling its scorching heat, she froze for a moment.
"Looks like your interest in Chu Ge..."
"Is anything but ordinary."
"Why don't you two just get together already..."
After weighing her words, she couldn't help speaking her mind.
"I told you to stop talking about it..."
At those words, Ma Xiaotao seemed to pick out some keyword and hurriedly snapped back to her senses. She shook her head, muttering under her breath.
"Honestly, you."
Xi Xi gave a little huff. Couldn't she even tell the truth anymore?
If not for Xiaotao's feelings for Brother Chu, she might have pursued such a wonderful boy herself. Besides, there would be an adorable little disciple calling her his master's wife. Wouldn't that be pure bliss!
"Do you really not like Brother Chu?"
She put aside those jumbled thoughts and asked the girl before her seriously.
"I..."
"I don't know."
Ma Xiaotao shook her head gently, her face faintly flushed.
Honestly, she didn't want to answer that question.
Because she had never imagined anyone being with her.
Evil fire lurked within her. Perhaps at some unknown point in the future, she would be swallowed by its flames. With that being the case, how could she hold someone else back?
