Ru noticed the way he kept looking at her face with a lingering smile and her brows puckered up in uncertainty. "Did I say something funny?" She asked with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Isn't it really funny?" He asked in return and continued, "This is the very first time, you are making an effort to clear up my misunderstanding. You have never done this before. You once told me that you hate explaining yourself. Then why are you explaining yourself to me?"
Ru cleared her throat in a cloddish manner. Avoiding his burning gaze, she said, "Can't you tell?"
Xiao Zhiren shook his head. "I can't tell."
"Aren't you smart?" She asked again looking straight into his eyes this time.
"But didn't you just mention that I'm the dumbest one here?" He used her words right back at her.
"So, you're accepting that you're the dumbest?" She asked incredulously.
