"What?" Ran Yu didn't catch on at first.
"You're the first," Lu Ziheng repeated, his voice somewhat muffled.
Ran Yu still didn't understand.
Lu Ziheng, out of patience, rested his hand on his forehead and plainly said, "I've only ever coaxed one woman, so... you get it now?"
Ran Yu's face instantly filled with shock. "How is that possible?!"
Perhaps because he had said it out loud, it became less awkward. Lu Ziheng glanced at her sideways, and his tone surprisingly seemed rather pleased, "Why would I lie to you?"
"You've never coaxed Yi Weilan?" As soon as Ran Yu blurted this out, she wished she could bite off her own tongue.
Serve you right for being a big mouth, for being so melodramatic...
"No," Lu Ziheng dropped another bombshell.
Ran Yu: "..."
"Stop overthinking, just do your homework. I'll go cook," Lu Ziheng said, soothing her like a child, then turned and headed for the kitchen.
