Chapter 141: I was cheated accidentally
Xu Qing and Jiang He are lounging on the couch, but for Jiang He, this situation feels much heavier than it does for Xu Qing. While Xu Qing's nonchalant attitude keeps him smirking, Jiang He's entire body tenses as she clutches her clothes, sneaking nervous glances at him before quickly looking away.
“Confucius once said, ‘Eating and mating are natural desires.’ It’s nothing indecent,” Xu Qing said in a tone that feigned sincerity. “We’re boyfriend and girlfriend. If there’s no spark, we might as well swear brotherhood and forget about romance altogether.”
As he spoke, his hand rested on hers, his voice taking on an almost didactic tone. “How about we find a statue of Guan Yu, light some incense, and kneel to swear as sworn siblings?”
“No!” Jiang He shook her head frantically, her voice tight with nerves. “We can’t do that.”
“Why not?” Xu Qing asked, taken aback by her vehement reaction.
“You’ve… you’ve kissed me!” Jiang He murmured, lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers.
How could sworn siblings do something like that? Even masters and disciples wouldn’t. Only lovers would… because lovers are meant to get married someday.
“Then… you can touch my calf,” she finally offered after a long, conflicted pause, reluctantly pulling her leg out from its crossed position.
