As his words fell,
Xu Yuan gave the girl a gentle smile and then withdrew his gaze, but Tianyan subconsciously tensed up a bit.
Calling him Xu Yuan.....
Watching his profile, Tianyan slightly pursed her lips:
"Are you... angry?"
"Ah?" Xu Yuan was taken aback, looking back, "Angry about what....."
Mid-sentence, Xu Yuan noticed her expression resembling that of a little girl who had done something wrong and suddenly realized what she was referring to.
The name and the appellation.
In this world, close acquaintances usually use the appellation rather than the name.
His elder brother and father had always called him Changtian.
Considering Tianyan's inexplicably angry behavior from before, his previous words might as well have told Tianyan,
Our relationship should end here; there's no need to take it further.
The girl's perceptive mind made Xu Yuan feel a moment of speechlessness, instinctively wanting to tease this Washboard Saintess, but he decided against it.
