A little fairy?
Tong Sanlang lowered his eyes somewhat embarrassed, at first he had suspected as much, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Back then, he was more worried that Qiao Xiaomai would stir up trouble and affect his family's rebellion plans.
Now seeing Qiao Xiaomai laughing so happily, he felt embarrassed because she indeed turned out to be a little fairy.
Awkward.
Still, he mustered the courage, looked up, "I didn't think you were a little fairy then. I was more cautious about you, afraid that you would discover my family's secret."
Qiao Xiaomai's laughter stopped abruptly.
…
He touched his nose uncomfortably and continued, "But, it's precisely because I had my guard up against you that I observed you more. And as I continued to observe, unwittingly, my heart fell for you."
Qiao Xiaomai was speechless…
She wrinkled her nose and huffed, "Do I look like a troublemaker?"
