With that remark, Peggy Lewis was utterly left speechless.
Lyke just chuckled without explaining why he found it amusing.
What she understood was, Lyke equated her statement with her desiring him.
How was she supposed to address this fact?
A sudden thought flashed through Peggy's mind, and she retorted, "Well why are you laughing then?
Lyke paused, thinking how sharp Peggy had become.
She was counterattacking now.
"Well…" Lyke chuckled again, "I just like hearing you talk. Whenever you talk, I can't help but feel good and want to laugh."
Peggy fell silent: "..."
It's terrible, she wasn't even sleepy in the first place.
Now, talking to Lyke, she felt even more awake.
Peggy even had the thought, it would have been better if she had stayed with Lyke for the night.
Staying in her own bedroom, Peggy found herself feeling a little unaccustomed now.
Thus, Peggy and Lyke continued their conversation.
Neither was conscious of how much time they actually spent talking.
