Xiaoxiao Would Be Disgusted

She pretended to be indifferent as though she didn't care about it.

It would make her seem like she wasn't expecting any returns from doing a good deed.

He should believe her then, right?

Also, it was natural for the other party to be even more mindful of a person's kindness when the person denies any reciprocation, right?

An Zhixin twisted her hands anxiously as she awaited his reply.

Yin Shaojie only studied her, his thoughts unfathomable, but he did not say if he believed her.

He only answered mildly, "Yeah, I understand now. Thank you for your reply.

An Zhixin was stunned. She lifted her head and gazed at him, her eyes seeming to question, And then?

Yin Shaojie didn't show any more warmth than he had before she had given her answer. "It's late, you should go and sleep soon. I'll be going first. See you," he said in his usual tone.
