Chapter 41: Hunger

"Nothing," Xue Ning says, smirking when she sees his ears reddening. She refuses to look away, delighting in his embarrassment. Finally, the tables are turning! This shameless man will get a taste of his own medicine.

She lets out an evil laugh. 

"Hey! I'm sure it's not nothing! Spit it out!" Jingwei protests hotly. "Why are you smirking at me like that?" 

"Puh," Xue Ning says, spitting out air. "Here, it's out." 

"You're so childish," Jingwei scolds, but he's also laughing with her. 

"You're more childish," Xue Ning retorts. 

"No you're more childish," Jingwei says insistently. "The most childish." 

"No, you're more childish," Xue Ning replies, emphasising it by pointing at him. "No wonder Officer Tang has all that white hair, he must have had his hands full dealing with you."
