"Happy, happy, but we... are just talking as friends..." Pei Ye had a blank look on his face and was in a panic, "I just... like to joke with people..."
Qi Zhaohua burst into laughter, "If you were my lover, I'd slap you in the face!"
"..."
"Isn't Zhang Junxue your friend? Why don't you joke around with her like this?" Qi Zhaohua sneered, "And why did you tell Zhang Junxue about your powerful swordsmanship, but you didn't dare tell Li Piaoqing?"
Pei Ye was stunned.
"That day, I was sitting in the Cui Yu stands. The moment your sword came out, Li Piaoqing sat up straight in shock, but Zhang Junxue didn't react." Qi Zhaohua glared at him, her face looking like she had discovered a disappointing side of her hero, "Did Li Piaoqing never ask you why you didn't dare tell her?"
"I... I didn't not dare."
"Because you fear it may startle her." Qi Zhaohua showed his true colors mercilessly, "Something far beyond Bo Wang's level would create distance between you two."
