I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
Snow City, mansion of the City Governor
Xu Que and Situ Haitang were sitting in the living room in silence.
Two servants of the City Governor's mansion served tea and pastries, then left the living room.
Then Situ Hai Tang said, "Zhuge Liang, why did you make trouble directly upon your arrival?"
"Wow, Hai Tang, you've changed! Before, you called me Young Master Zhuge. Now, you call my name directly. Does this mean progress in our relationship?" Xu Que changed the subject.
Situ Hai Tang rolled her eyes snappily and said while shaking her head, "I only know troops and war, I don't care about etiquette. If you feel offended when I call your name directly, I will continue to call you Young Master Zhuge in the future!"
"Please don't. In that case, you can just call me Little Liangliang, or Little Gege! But please don't call me Little Zhuzhu," Xu Que said with a smile and waved his hand.
