Like a White Lotus, Xia Moliang bit her tender pink lips, her eyes filled with disbelief as she questioned, "But that day, Fei Yan told me she wanted to treat you to fried rice cakes at Chen Nan Pavilion to apologize to you, didn't she? Didn't you accept her apology?" The implication was that if you were magnanimous, you would have accepted Liu Feiyan's invitation to have fried rice cakes. Not going meant that you hadn't accepted Liu Feiyan's apology.
Xiao Yao really found such behavior laughable; since when did accepting an apology require coercion?
Xiao Yao said sternly to Xia Moliang, "Classmate Xia Moliang, I did accept Classmate Liu Feiyan's apology, but I also did not join her for the fried rice cakes. That afternoon, I had other matters and so I refused!" That day, it was certain that no one saw her with Liu Feiyan. Because she had set up a confusing Formation. Liu Feiyan could see others, but they couldn't see her. Thus, anyone observing would only see Xiao Yao alone.
