"I'll treat you, okay?" Gu Yu looked at her with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"That won't do. Accepting someone's kindness weakens the will, and I need to repay you for such an expensive dinner. Either by treating you to an equally expensive meal or committing myself to you." Tang Yuran explained methodically, "I don't have the economic ability for the former, and I'm not quite willing to do the latter."
"So, what do you want to do?"
"Hmm... Let's go Dutch..." Tang Yuran tilted her head in thought, then said to Gu Yu, "That way it's fair, and I don't owe you anything."
"But what if I want you to owe me, what then?"
"That's not possible, I'm a person of principle!" Tang Yuran said seriously as she looked at Gu Yu.
"What principle?" Gu Yu asked curiously.
"Well... my principle is... dependent on my mood." After Tang Yuran said this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing first.
"..."
Gu Yu couldn't help but tug at the corner of his mouth helplessly.
