"Me? How is that possible?!" Jiang Xinli scoffed. "Liar."
"Lili, I'm telling the truth." Sheng Tianze wrapped his arms tightly around her.
The girl's body was slender and soft.
He didn't dare to use too much force, afraid that the slightest misstep would shatter her.
"Lili..." His face was buried in her back, his usually gentle voice now muffled. "Actually, we met long before you ever knew Hua Xi or Xue Qianxun."
"Keep spinning your tales." Jiang Xinli ignored him, trying to wriggle out of his embrace like a slippery eel.
The man extended a long leg, trapping hers.
His furry tiger tail also gently coiled around her ankle.
"You told me before that in the Ancient Secret Realm, when you obtained that Star Soul Fragment, you saw some scenes from your childhood. You said those scenes were silent."
Sheng Tianze paused for a second, his fingers curling slightly, before he continued:
"Lili, have you ever considered... that the little blond boy in those scenes... was me."
