Misunderstandings

Xu Huanwen's ambiguous remark earned him an eye roll from Gu Lan. "Are you crazy? What if you can't control yourself and end up biting me?" she retorted.

Xu Huanwen was taken aback for a moment, but he should have known that Gu Lan wouldn't respond conventionally. He couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying, "What if I don't bite you?"

Sitting beside Xu Huanwen, Gu Lan continued to look at the starry sky. "That's impossible. Are you trying to take advantage of me?" she said.

The night sky resembled a canopy of studded diamonds, and as Gu Lan looked up, Xu Huanwen observed her profile intently, as if etching her face into his mind. He spoke earnestly, "What if I really want to?"

Gu Lan didn't take Xu Huanwen's words seriously. She considered him a pitiable supporting character, perhaps even a flirtatious one, merely toying with her.
