Talking behind someone's back, only to be caught right in the act,
Lin Anning's face turned red as she tried to explain.
"No, I was cursing that old yellow dog that just walked by! Look..."
She pointed behind her with great conviction, but Huo Shen didn't even bother to turn his head.
"Where? I didn't see it."
"Comrade Huo, not only are your ears useless, but your eyes are failing you too."
"Medically speaking, this is due to kidney qi deficiency, aging before your time..."
Watching Lin Anning with her serious look, Huo Shen laughed, an amused laugh.
"Alright, so the poor old dog is impotent and aging prematurely, so why exactly are you here to see this poor old dog?"
"I really wasn't cursing you, and, and you shouldn't talk about yourself like that."
Lin Anning paused, remembering why she had come, and looked up at Huo Shen with a sweet smile.
"My mom is throwing a birthday party for me tomorrow, to make up for the past 19 birthdays I missed."
