Xiang Cheng was in a foul mood after being stood up by Jiang Xue. "How dare you, Jiang Xue! You were the one who begged me to ask you out," he shouted.
Jiang Xue could hear how angry Xiang Cheng was and hurriedly explained, "Brother Cheng, I value this date too much; that's why I can't see you tonight. I know you were planning to introduce me to your good friends and maybe some of your family, but I can't see them today. I'm not sure what happened, but I had an allergic reaction, causing my face to swell. I'm afraid I'd embarrass you if I went like this."
Jiang Xue's words spilled out in a torrent as she tried her best to appease Xiang Cheng. She picked the words she knew Xiang Cheng would accept. "Brother Cheng, you know how much I love and care about you. I can't bear to see you suffer even the slightest bit of unhappiness."
