"Hurry up and say it!"
Hua Jinyan pressed his lips together.
"Talk! Don't play mute!"
Hua Jinyan lowered his eyes, his lips pressing even tighter.
"Damn it! Don't think acting mute means I'll let you off!"
Little Taotie poked Hua Jinyan's waist with her chubby fingers.
She poked once, twice, three times.
Hua Jinyan slowly scooted his butt away a bit, pulling some distance between them.
Little Taotie puffed with anger, leaned closer, and kept poking with her finger.
"Are you gonna talk or not? Talk or not?"
Hua Jinyan had no idea how many times he'd been poked by now, and still stayed silent.
Little Taotie finally gave up in a huff, leaning back in a full-on Ge You slouch, totally in "lying flat" mode.
Little Taotie let out a breath. "Hmph! Fine, don't talk then, I'm done with you!"
The cable car stopped, and Hua Jinyan reached out to take Little Taotie's hand.
Little Taotie dodged, snorted twice, and walked ahead on her own.
She was treating Hua Jinyan like he was air.
