Her beautiful eyes blinked a few times. Bai Tang smiled and continued, "The beauty said a lot."
Sheng Qi stared at her, his tone displeased. "But you didn't remember a single word!"
"I did!" Bai Tang raised her left hand as if swearing an oath. "I swear to heaven!"
"Boom—"
A thunderclap struck fiercely outside the window, echoing through the sky!
Bai Tang: "..."
What the hell...
Sheng Qi stared at her coldly. The girl's face flickered with embarrassment for a moment before being replaced by a radiant smile.
"Beauty, want me to take you home?" Bai Tang smiled, changing the subject.
Sheng Qi glared at her with a cold face, saying nothing.
"Don't look at me like that—it makes me shy!" Bai Tang buried her head in feigned bashfulness.
Sheng Qi pressed his lips together. He was clearly furious, yet somehow felt helpless.
He really wanted to smack her!
"Do you actually want to lose that hand before you behave?" Sheng Qi asked in a low, heavy voice.
"If I lose it, I can't hold the beauty anymore!"
Sheng Qi gritted his teeth. "Bai Tang, get serious!"
"This is a very serious question!" Bai Tang said with a straight face. "One hand can't hold you!"
Sheng Qi was so angry he wanted to storm off. He glared at the innocent-looking girl before him and ground out through clenched teeth, "I told you to call me if you run into trouble—can't you remember that? Do you not have my number, or do you think I'm full of crap?"
By the last sentence, Sheng Qi was practically shouting.
Bai Tang blinked her eyes and said softly, "Beauty, you're a fairy. Fairies don't swear!"
Sheng Qi took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, unable to suppress the rage inside him.
He stood up, looking down at the girl sitting on the sofa.
"Beauty, keep your image—you're a flower on a high peak!" Bai Tang grinned at him, reaching out to soothe him.
The moment she raised her hand, Sheng Qi shot her a glare that made her pull it back.
A few minutes later, Sheng Qi coldly averted his gaze.
"Go to bed!" he said in a frosty tone.
Bai Tang blinked, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, then she blushed shyly. "So soon? I'm not ready yet, but if you're in a hurry, I'll make a sacrifice!"
Sheng Qi's face turned completely dark. "Bai Tang, do you want me to strangle you?"
"Go upstairs and sleep—alone!"
Sheng Qi gritted his teeth.
It felt like all his usual calm and composure had been completely shattered by her tonight.
Bai Tang sighed with a look of regret. She wanted to say more, but seeing Sheng Qi's ominous expression, she decided it was best not to push her luck.
If he really lost it, she'd be in deep trouble!
"Beauty, goodnight!" Bai Tang quickly got up and headed upstairs.
At the stairway, she stopped and turned to look at him. "Oh, by the way..."
"What now?" Sheng Qi glared at her impatiently, already at his limit.
Bai Tang's lips curled up slightly, a hint of indescribable joy in her expression. "That thing you said to Bai Chengfeng earlier—was it from the heart?"
Sheng Qi froze, then said coldly with some awkwardness, "Go to bed!"
"Beauty!" Bai Tang called out again, laughing happily despite his anger. "'Anyone who messes with my Bai Tang—do they think I'm dead?' That line... it was seriously badass!"
Sheng Qi kept his face cold and said nothing, because the girl at the stairway was looking at him with excitement, teasing him: "Beauty, when did I become your person?"
