She gaped at them, speechless, while both of them looked at her expectantly. Hu Yan's eyes glowed with mischief, and Xuan Long's calm face didn't help at all...it somehow made the situation ten times worse.
Where did my life go wrong? She screamed internally. Why am I surrounded by giant shameless beasts asking me to blow on their faces like babies?!
She tried to ignore them, but Hu Yan growled, tail puffing up in annoyance. "Hey! Don't copy me! I asked first!" he said, glaring at Xuan Long.
Xuan Long turned his head slightly, meeting his glare with that quiet, sharp stare that could freeze the air itself. He didn't even speak, but Hu Yan's tail drooped instantly.
The silence that followed was so awkward that Su Qinglan even forgot her embarrassment.
Hu Yan grumbled under his breath, poking the fire angrily while Xuan Long sat straight, pretending nothing had happened. The fire crackled between them, and the tension was ridiculous.
