Shen Nianzu's heart leapt to his throat, and he did the first thing that came to mind – feign ignorance. "Hear what?" His voice was croaky as if they had been squeezed out of the hollow of his throat.
However, as if the whole universe was conspiring against him at the moment, Lang Zhenya ecstatic cry pierced through the air. "AH—hmph!"

Shen Nianzu: "..." Innocent little boy, your ass!

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
