"First of all, I called you a barbarian and second of all, I thought we got over that incident." Zhu Jie replied while his hand had held the butterfly knife around his neck in a vice-like grip. Before that puny little fellow could move, Zhu Jie had twisted his wrist making him scream in agony as his wrist was broken.
"I became the bigger person by letting you off the hook. It didn't mean I forgot about it." She was still sipping on piping hot tea and even had the mood to appreciate it's aroma. With how the lifeless bodies were huddled around her, one really had to question; how could she even digest that?!
With her words, clear lines of dissatisfaction could be seen on his handsome face while his brown eyes narrowed into slits. "You love holding grudges even when I apologized on my knees. I even gave you chocolate as compensation." His dissatisfaction with her became the nightmare for the assassin in his hands since Zhu Jie had already dug the very same butterfly knife through his neck without flinching.
"You calling me barbaric dug a deeper wound. That chocolate could barely fill that hole." She spoke righteously as if she was the epitome of truth.
Zhu Jie rolled his eyes at her before snapping the neck which he held in his grip until now. As the lifeless body fell down on his feet, he had jump over it to take his seat before her saying, "I'll buy you an endless supply of chocolate. Would you please get over that one time? It was a slip of my tongue."
Ru tapped her chin thoughtfully and said, "It's not like I can't get over it. But..." She made an aggrieved face as she went on, "Your words had shaken my confidence. Now, tell me how can a man such as Zhiren like me when my own best friend believes me to be a monster?"
Zhu Jie wanted to applaud her for being this shameless. She was using his words against him? Such a brat she is!
"No one would like a girlfriend who is a monster." She continued to jab him with her words. "OW!" She scowled at him as he yet again tugged at her hair. Her most precious hair, how dare he!
"If he can't have you as a girlfriend. He'll have to love you as a ghoul-friend." His cheeky remark got him a harsh slap on his shoulder. "Get over it now. It was my mistake for misspeaking and I do feel bad for it even now. You don't have to remind me of such a dark past." In all his life, if he regretted one thing that would be calling Ru a barbarian in rage. He didn't really mean it like that but it still hurt her where it stung worse than he could imagine.
Ru could see the guilt in his charming brown eyes and felt bad for reminding him. But if she still wasn't over that, how could she let him have it easy? No way! They both should suffer together!
"What about these?" He asked after seeing how her expression had shifted. People thought she had an impassive face but he could read her ever-changing moods easily. Since her face certainly was impassive but her eyes were the most expressive ones. They could never hide her emotions.
She placed her phone on the table and pressed a button, soon Raven's voice could be heard, "Assembling the Knight Guards initiated!"
"It's my mess, I can clean it up myself." Her answer wasn't surprising at all. It was exactly aligned with his thinking.
"Of course, you can." He retorted sarcastically at this blatant and glaring truth. He silently observed her for another minute before sighing out, "I heard you met Grandmaster Wang in Jingshen."
Ru barely lifted her eyelids as she said, "I did. That old man still recognized me after all these years."
"Why wouldn't he recognize you?" He asked with an amused glint in his eyes.
"They say, a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. And yet, Grandmaster recognized me at first glance." She seemed confused.
"Your eyes might have turned a darker shade with years but you are still very much recognizable by those who know you best." She frowned at his words, not knowing where he was going with this. "After all, you're still in childhood."
She gasped in disbelief while preparing to lean over just to smack some sense into him. But her stupid team chose right this moment to enter in all their glory with uniformed footsteps that could barely be heard.
"Luck is on your side today." She mused before standing up as her stance shifted to the ice-cold glaciers.
