Luo Yingbai didn’t turn, didn’t move, but reached back and caught the talisman between two fingers. He smiled and waved it at Luo Zhan. Luo Zhan said, “One of you is unyielding, the other cunning and opportunistic…”
Luo Yingbai: “Why does Xianning’s description sound better?”
Luo Zhan waved his hand, and the talisman burned in Luo Yingbai’s fingers, scaring him into dropping it. Luo Zhan continued, “You two brats, just balance each other out.”
Luo Yingbai said proudly, “Too bad Xianning isn’t a junior sister, or our kids would definitely be impressive.” Xia Xianning’s face inexplicably heated up, but his mouth was quick: “If anyone’s giving birth, it’ll be you.”
Luo Zhan didn’t pay attention to the two’s banter, saying to himself, “Your kung fu hasn’t fallen behind. The test just now was considered passed.”
Luo Yingbai took a seat on the sofa, slumping back with a heavy sigh. “Why do I have to write such a long report anyway? It’s not like talking back is that serious.”
Xia Xianning looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Maybe because you never know when to stop pushing their buttons?”
Luo Yingbai shot him a glare. “You think you’re so perfect? You’ve talked back before too!”
Xia Xianning chuckled lightly, shaking his head. “That’s different. I have my reasons. You just do it for fun.”
“Fine! But this is the last time. Next time, I’ll just run away for real!” Luo Yingbai crossed his arms defiantly.
Xia Xianning laughed, “Good luck with that. You’ll miss your video games too much.”
They both shared a moment of camaraderie before Xia Xianning gathered his belongings to leave.
Luo Yingbai called after him, “Seriously, be careful!”
Xia Xianning waved without turning back, stepping outside into the sunlight. Luo Yingbai watched him go, feeling a mix of envy and appreciation for his friend’s strength.
With a resigned sigh, he picked up a notebook and began to jot down thoughts for the report, realizing that despite his reluctance, there might be something valuable in reflecting on his actions.
Luo Yingbai sat down obediently.
He saw Xia Xianning take out a deep blue small box from his pocket. After opening it, he found a platinum earring with a black diamond embedded in it.
