"You thought I was committing adultery with Basil?" Mei Qi looked at Xiu Li aghast. "Why do you think I am stupid enough to do that?"
"I…uh…it was too suggestive. I couldn't help thinking about the worst…" Xiu Li scratched his head in utter embarrassment as he dodged Mei Qi's gaze.
Basil didn't say anything but he still thought it was amusing. He didn't blame Xiu Li; perspective is such a weird thing. Depending on where you stand, you see different scenery. He wouldn't say he and Mei Qi were wrong either. How onlookers decided to comprehend the situation, after all, was not of their concern.
"We have arrived."
The conversation ceased when Basil and Mei Qi heard Basil's words. They took a look at their surroundings in wonder, not because they had forgotten about their home country but because they wanted to make sure Basil was not being humorous.
"Brother…the city is still five kilometres ahead," Xiu Li said awkwardly.
