Called in (3)

Seeing that I had no choice, I told her about what happened with Sasha in the first dungeon I went to.

And by that…I meant that I told her the fake story that we had already come up with.

By the end of it, she looked at me with narrowed eyes even though I had finished my story, making me feel awkward. But I didn't say anything else and just waited for her to say something.

After a long silence, Bing Lan said with a soft snort, "So it's a hero saving the beauty kind of situation. You really are something else."

Though that should have seemed like a compliment, the tone of her voice made it clear that it wasn't.

I just revealed an awkward smile without saying anything else.

Bing Lan then said with a sigh, "So you're saying that there isn't that kind of relationship between the two of you?"

I was a bit surprised and confused to hear this question, but I shook my head in response.
