"Ah! It shows even you couldn't escape my charms."
Huang Shuyi gave her a look. "I'm not done yet."
"No, I only need to hear this much."
"No, but I want to share the full story."
"Don't wanna know!" she was insistent on not letting him continue. She knew he wasn't gonna say anything nice so it was better to stop him while it sounded good.
But of course, he wasn't willing to give up either. "So, when I was slowly inching closer to the edge of the cliff and about to fall into the abyss of love, your voice pulled me back by saying, 'If you're looking for a place to sleep again, sleep somewhere else. Why are you here on the basketball court? To court death?'" He sighed as he recalled all that. "And that was enough to shatter my first love. I finally got back to my senses and almost despised myself for even thinking for a split second that you're beautiful."
"I believe none of that," she told him.
