Wrong understanding

"You are very straightforward," Zheng Jiao commented.

"What is there to sugarcoat in this? I do think the assistants were dumb. There was nothing to be so afraid of. Must be homophobic. I understand that sexuality is one's personal choice but it's not a plague that everybody got running," she scoffed.

Xian Shun then sighed. "I am sorry though. Regarding Guiying…"

"You overthink. I was just a little curious about her, that's all. It meant nothing more."

"Curiosity is always the first step towards crushing someone. And I have seen how your eyes have always followed Guiying. Even if it might not be full blown love yet, you are definitely interested in her."

"Doesn't really matter now."

Xian Shun pursed her lips. "By the way, Guiying is taking a long time in the washroom."

A minute later, they heard the sound of footsteps and saw Guiying return to her seat. Guiying cleared her throat and sipped some water as she sat slightly stiffened.
