Zuo Xiangning glared at him as if he were a lunatic, then called out to Pan Cui outside the door, "Pan Cui, go see why Pan Xia hasn't come back yet? Also, have the small kitchen prepare some snacks for us to take along when we go mountain climbing later."
"Yes, this maid will go right now." Pan Cui, hearing she could go out, happily trotted away.
"Get out of here, now!" Zuo Xiangning opened the door and shooed Li Shaonan out.
"You can't get by with such thin skin; when you're with me, you first have to learn to have a thicker skin," Li Shaonan said. "A tree can't live without its bark, and a person is invincible without a face. As long as you have a thick skin, we will be unbeatable in the capital."
"Are you leaving or not?" Zuo Xiangning was frantic, inwardly regretting not having brought Bing Yun and Bing Yu back from the small residence.
"Leaving, leaving," Li Shaonan said reluctantly, stepping out of the room.
