Song Xiaodong and Li Sijie reached a bedroom on the second floor, where Song Xiaodong immediately closed the door and casually locked it.
As she heard the lock click, Li Sijie suddenly snapped back to reality, her panic apparent as she stammered, "Dongzi, I... I was just joking with you."
"Joking?" Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes as he assertively wrapped his arms around Li Sijie's waist.
"Yes, yes... just joking!" Li Sijie leaned back, her hands pressed against Song Xiaodong's chest, she stuttered, "I... don't mess around."
Carrying Li Sijie in his arms toward the bed, Song Xiaodong retorted, "You've stoked the fire within me, and now you want to just walk away?"
Li Sijie's panic intensified, and with a distressed look, she said, "Dongzi, I was wrong, isn't it enough that I admit my mistake? I shouldn't have teased you, but I can't keep making the same mistake."
