I disdainfully curled my lips and put down my chopsticks: “Forget it, I’m afraid someone will make me pay later. I don’t have that much silver!” Thinking, even a bowl of white porridge cost me 10 taels of silver, this whole table… even if I were sold, I couldn’t pay it off…
“Huh?”
Wei Feng looked puzzled at me, then at Wei Chi, and after a while understood, laughing and saying to me: “Don’t worry, I’ll pay at worst. Besides, my brother isn’t that petty!”
“Hmph, as if!”
That 100 taels of silver incident, I’d remember until I died, because in this world, there absolutely couldn’t be anyone more stingy, more miserly, more extortionate than him!
I’ll translate the text into English:
I pursed my lips, somewhat innocently arguing: “You’re overthinking it, I just didn’t want to interrupt your conversation!”
“We have nothing to talk about!” Wei Chi responded, a slight hint of joy flashing across his face.
“Big brother? We…”
Wei Feng looked up in confusion, about to say something, but was coldly stared down by the other with a warning glance. He ultimately blinked innocently, lowering his head awkwardly, pretending he hadn’t said anything…
I looked at the two of them suspiciously and frowned, asking: “Do you two really have nothing to discuss?”
“Of course!” Wei Chi answered decisively.
Wei Feng hesitated but ultimately nodded under Wei Chi’s sharp gaze: “No…”
I pretended not to notice the lack of conviction in his words and waved my hand: “Since there’s nothing, everyone can disperse!”
Could it be, he likes her?
Wei Chi looked at me expectantly. I knew he wanted to ask if he could go shopping with me, and I naturally refused: “Of course, go do what you need to do!”
Wei Chi looked at me unwillingly: “Why?”
I pretended not to understand, blinking confusedly: “What why? What else do you want to do?”
Wei Chi persistently asked: “Why are you so unwilling to be with me?”
I inexplicably felt a bit guilty and quickly averted my gaze: “You misunderstood, I didn’t mean that. Didn’t you just say that men and women being alone together can lead to gossip?”
Wei Chi stared at me unblinkingly: “But didn’t you also say that people’s mouths belong to others, so why care what they say?”
