"What does this mean? Why would…" She tries to draw out a reasonable explanation for his unreasonable action but deep down, behind all of it. The realization was dawning on her.
"Were you trying to solve the way around the goblet of blood fire?" She tries again.

"What else would you be here for? It makes no sense," She scowled.
"Is there no problem in my life that needs extra help?" Dong Hai now looks at her solemnly.
Hong Liu frowns deepen, she can't think of anything.
