"You were late, it's not that I refused to return the book to you. You should know that when I say something, I mean it. I said I wouldn't return the book if it wasn't before twelve o'clock, what, forgotten?" Ling Tian'ao mocked.
Xia Zhisu's eye was fixed on the book in Ling Tian'ao's hand, terrified that he might throw the library book into the furnace in a fit of pique.
Then she wouldn't be able to graduate!
She took a deep breath.
Xia Zhisu told herself to stay calm!
Pleading with him now was useless!
"No, no! I remember, I do!" Xia Zhisu chuckled.
"So if I return the book to you now, doesn't it mean that I, as a young master, am without principles! As if my words were nothing but hot air! That would look bad if it got out!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xia Zhisu still chuckled awkwardly.
She inwardly scoffed. What was all this about, as if anyone would care if it got out!
"So, I might as well burn it." Ling Tian'ao was about to throw the book into the furnace again.
