"Many call you 'Ge Ge'." His heart was skipping with elation, but he did not express it outwardly.
"Huh? Just because of that? But… There are actually more people calling me 'Pei Ge'," she quickly refuted.
Due to him pouring a cold bucket of water on her just then, her initial inhibition was totally gone, and she was, in fact, fixing him with a challenging look.
"Cough!" An unnatural look spread across the man's face.
With suspicion in her eyes, she surmised, "Don't tell me… that you're actually feeling shy right now?!"
He instantly fell silent.
In that moment, the spacious living room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
She widened her eyes at his silence, for her statement was just a casual guess.
