An audacious request

"Hey Lanni." She flashed a smile at Lanni who was beside Xiehan. 

When the latter merely smiled and nodded to acknowledge her, she pulled a lock of hair behind her hair nervously. "Can we talk?" 

Lanni shifted her gaze to Xiehan while in thought, trying to confirm her last conclusion. The man was not paying attention to Ruby and was busy showing Lin Jian something. Relieved, she pulled Ruby to the side. "What do you want to talk about?" 

"I'm sorry." Ruby went straight to the point. "I may have said things… that caused a misunderstanding." 

"Misunderstanding?" Lanni raised an eyebrow. She had clearly confessed that she liked Xiehan. What was there to misunderstand? 

Ruby knew this, which was why things had almost spiralled out of control. "Lanni, if I leaned against you and said that I like you, what would you think of it?" 

Lanni thought about it and really couldn't think too much of it.
