Chapter 22 - 017: Please Lift Your Esteemed Butt!
"Still pretending! The first time you saved me was because you caused me to fall off the cliff. But this time? Why did you save me again?" Yi Luowa frowned, staring at him intently.
"I don't have time to waste saving you!" Tong Airui frowned back at her. He was determined not to admit he saved her the second time. The reason was simple: he'd lied to someone over the phone, claiming Yi Luowa was a lucky customer of Zhuo Yuan's cellphone promotion. "A scammer with a conscience not completely eaten by dogs!" This was the definition Yi Luowa had given him. Just hearing it made him lose face completely.
Yi Luowa glanced at him sideways and raised her hand to point at Yuan Hang, "There's only one number in my phone. I just called it, and his phone rang. How do you explain that?"
Tong Airui slightly tilted his chin toward Yuan Hang, "Why don't you explain this?"
Yuan Hang's mouth twitched violently, tasked with explaining this—how could he?
"I don't mean anything else. I'm the kind of person who hates owing others favors. I just want to find the person who saved me and thank them properly." Seeing Yuan Hang's clear hesitation, Yi Luowa explained her intentions.
Tong Airui furrowed his brow to buy Yuan Hang some time to think up a lie, "Why would you even think the person who saved you might be me?"
"Because of Mi Chenxuan."
Mi Chenxuan came running over, crouched halfway down beside the wheelchair, and grinned, "Because of me? Hey, kiddo, tell me, why because of me? Is it because I'm too handsome?"
Everyone rolled their eyes together at silly Chenxuan.
Yi Luowa's lips twitched subtly, "Don't call me 'kiddo,' my name is Yi Luowa."
