I'd say it's a good thing that they didn't directly pull out a knife.

"I really appreciate your hard work." Lin Tang felt a warm feeling in her heart and smiled as she spoke.

Having said that, her tone shifted, "Actually, I think I'm someone who can take a compliment. Don't you agree?"

Qin Suqing met her friend's teasing gaze and rolled her eyes, huffing, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'too much concern causes chaos'?"

She was overwhelmed; how could she think of so much?

Lin Tang couldn't help but chuckle as she watched her friend's delicate little expression.

She immediately went along with the flow, "…I guess it's easy for me to talk without feeling the pain, sorry about that!"

Qin Suqing burst into giggles, tickled by the jest.

Lin Tang had long noticed that her friend's threshold for laughter and tears was quite low; shaking her head in resignation, she patted her friend's back and waited for her to finish laughing.

Qin Suqing's emotions came and went quickly.
