The warm and leisurely atmosphere was instantly gone, and they were once again like two fighting fish, butting heads against each other.
“How can there be none? From the beginning, you said there was no water, and indeed, we found none. Then you said there were wild beasts, and sure enough, the monkeys came out. What is this if not speaking nonsense?”
“It’s just coincidence, bad luck perhaps, but how can you blame everything on me?” Zou Ben patted his head.
How can this couple have such strange logic? Hasn’t she heard of ‘coincidence makes for a good story’?
“It’s because of you. You say good things without spirit, but when you say bad things, they come true!” She seemed to think there was such a thing, “You’re talking nonsense!”
“No, I’m not.”
“Yes, you are.”
“No, I’m not.”
“I say you are!”
“It’s not at all like that, you speak of reason…”
Before he could finish his sentence, she stomped on his foot with her irritable personality, then watched her small figure stride away.
“Oh, I’ve been stomped on again. He had lost count of how many times he had been stomped. He should remember that no matter how adorable, thoughtful, or vexing his little girlfriend was, she was ultimately an uncompromising, fierce lioness.
He should remember.
“En En—” Zou Ben started chasing after his little girl again.
“You nonsense talker, don’t call me—”
The more urgently he chased, the faster she ran.
“Why can’t I call you?” Zou Ben started to jog.
“Because you’re annoying, and when you speak, good things are not spirited, but bad things are—”
Xu Xian En turned back to check the distance between them, saw him start running, panicked, and began to run as well.
“Hey, don’t run!” He ran even faster, more urgently.
“Then why are you running?” she shouted, also picking up speed.
“You were the one who started running, are you too fit or what?” Zou Ben was a bit breathless. Although he was a man and should be stronger than Xu Xian En, she practiced “light kung fu” every morning. How could a mere mortal like him outrun her?
“You’re the one who’s too fit! Stop running, please—”
Xu Xian En was also getting breathless.
“Then you stop first, I’m almost out of energy…”
