"Xixi!" Li Hannian raised his face, his eyes deep, his tone serious, "Have you ever thought that this could just be a story I made up?"
Chu Nanxi tossed the odds and ends in her hands into the trash can, the corners of her lips curving up.
"You seem to really enjoy it when people think of you as the bad guy."

He didn't care!
"I don't care what others think; I only care about how you see me."

He couldn't care less and was too lazy to explain, even feeling somewhat grateful to those spreading rumors, as they made others keep their distance from him, which he rather enjoyed.
But he cared about her, cared about what she thought and how she saw him.
Chu Nanxi looked at him intently for a moment.
"Actually, you're not quite like the legend says; you're not that bad!"
Sure, perhaps a bit vitriolic, maybe a bit overbearing...
