Boyuan began to stammer. "Wh-what?"
Li Xiwu could tell that Boyuan was deliberately perfunctory. She knew that she wouldn't get the answer she wanted if she continued asking, so she decided not to ask. She looked at her watch and said, "I've been here for more than two hours. I should go back."
"But you agreed to stay here for dinner." Boyuan stopped Li Xiwu.
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. "I didn't say that."
It was Boyuan's turn to be speechless. She thought back carefully. It seemed that Li Xiwu had indeed not said anything about staying for dinner. She had always been the one taking the initiative. However, Boyuan was not so thin-skinned. She continued, "Since you didn't say that, I'll invite you to stay for dinner again tonight. Can you stay?"
Li Xiwu looked troubled. "I…"
Boyuan suggested, "Tell you what. Why don't you call him for dinner, too?"
