Ji Lingxi’s Frustration

It took Shangguan Lingxiu half a beat to figure out the true meaning behind Ji Lingxi's ambiguous mumbling, but when she was struck by the sudden epiphany, her body trembled at the revelation. She lifted her gaze, gaping at Ji Lingxi with unmasked disbelief.

Together... forever.

Whatever this meant, Shangguan Lingxiu had a pretty clear idea of it in her mind – she understood it perfectly.

"I... I don't quite understand... w-what you mean...," stammered Shangguan Lingxiu as her face flushed a deep red. Her arms were intertwined with each other as she seemed to not know where to place them – it was an extremely uncomfortable situation. How could she not understand – it was all too obvious!

Since the very beginning, Ji Lingxi had always sounded extremely condescending, or maybe it just sounded that way to her, at least. Most people had advised her to give it up. This man is solely mine, she seemed to say.

'You have no game!'

'Just give up before it's too late!'
