"Brothers are brothers, but you can't use me like that!"
Seeing Xi Ye getting anxious and completely disregarding the underlying meaning of his words, Lin Suqing feigned silence, choosing not to continue. Instead, he just stared steadily at Xi Ye. He knew Xi Ye's temperament well; pushing the conversation could backfire, only by letting Xi Ye calm down and think through the topic at hand might he get a genuine response.
After Xi Ye vented his frustration and noticed Lin Suqing not saying a word, he glanced at Lin Suqing out of the corner of his eye. Yet Lin Suqing still did not speak, and after another glance, Lin Suqing apparently had no intent to speak.
Eventually, he couldn't hold back and asked, "Why aren't you speaking anymore? Go on with your great principles!"
Lin Suqing responded with a smile, composed and serene, "I've said all I needed to, the rest is up to you."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
