"Ow! No, I was wrong! Don't bite me!"
Being cheeky was fun, but not when the person being teased started fighting back.
Ouyang rubbed his arm, sucking in breaths through his teeth, while forcing an apologetic smile at the mortified, furious Daji before him.
His habit of being a little shit for no reason really had made him suffer!
Still rubbing his arm, Ouyang suddenly noticed the brightly lit city in the distance.
Countless skyscrapers towered in the distance. Viewed from so far away, the otherwise noisy city instead had the homely warmth of lights glowing in ten thousand households.
