Song Xian paused again, as if he were thirsty, and picked up the water next to him to drink. Li Ke hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "You're not 1.85 meters tall, are you?"
Wearing platform shoes with heels three or four centimeters high, Li Ke walked alongside Song Xian and didn't seem to be much shorter than him. Sometimes, she even felt that she was taller than him. Even at a time like this, this man still lied about his height. Li Ke was truly impressed.
Song Xian was taken aback by Li Ke's sudden question. He coughed several times before emphasizing and insisting, "I do have it, but I've been so hungry and tired lately that I can't even stand up straight, so it's not very noticeable."
Li Ke tried to recall the few times she had met Song Xian before, but couldn't quite remember. She hadn't really paid attention to his height back then.
Li Ke waved his hand: "Alright, let's skip this and continue."
Song Xian: "..."
How infuriating! What do you mean by "even if"? Why skip it? These words are so frustrating and annoying!
After processing his own feelings, Song Xian responded gently, "Okay, let's continue—Brother Li, I really am 185cm tall. Maybe my body has changed a bit, but I'm still at least 183cm."
Li Ke: "...I believe you."
Li Ke truly regretted his words; why couldn't he resist questioning them? Hearing Li Ke say "I believe you," Song Xian also regretted it; why hadn't he ignored it? Those two words must have made him even more frustrated.
Li Ke sensed that Song Xian might have suffered internal injuries, and to comfort him, she sincerely emphasized, "I truly believe in you, 185."
Song Xian wiped his face: "...Brother Li, let's really skip this this time."
Li Ke nodded in the darkness. She didn't want to say anything more, afraid that it would only make things more awkward.
Song Xian thought for a moment about what he had said before, and then continued, "Although that Duan Lao Er is short, he is really skilled. This guy can easily jump two meters high and land very lightly. He always carries two guns on his waist, but what he likes to show off the big knife he carries on his back the most. He was half responsible for Brother Lu's death."
Moreover, he was not only skilled with a broadsword, but also had excellent marksmanship; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of a military camp.
This man said I looked like his younger brother, so he called me to his side to serve him. Brother Li, please don't misunderstand, this kind of service just means singing and dancing with him, and learning some new songs and dances from him...
Song Xian couldn't continue, and Li Ke also fell silent. This time, she really didn't dare to speak, but she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. This Song Xian was very good at the art of language, using words to cover up misunderstandings and deepen the confusion.
Song Xian was on the verge of tears: "It's really not what you think, nor is it what those three bastards said! Although that Duan trash treated me like a younger brother and seemed to have some impure intentions, I always refused to submit, and he never succeeded or forced me. That bastard is just a bit perverted in some ways, and his hobbies are a bit unusual, but nothing really happened between us. I'm truly innocent!"
Li Ke didn't want to speak; she was truly holding back. Song Xian, however, was watching Li Ke, wanting her to know that what he was saying was indeed true.
Having no other choice, Li Ke said, "I didn't think anything of it. I believe what you're saying is true."
Song Xian: "..." He shouldn't have asked for that answer.
Seeing the silence, Li Ke had no choice but to speak again: "Why don't you tell me again what aspects of that bastard Duan are so perverted? What are his special hobbies?"
Song Xian covered his face. What had he just said? Why were Brother Li's questions so strange? He felt like he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into every river and lake in the world.
Song Xian really didn't want to talk about that bastard Duan's perverted hobbies, but for the sake of her innocence: "...Okay, I'll tell you."
Li Ke tried her best to appear unconcerned. Song Xian really knew the art of conversation; it had even heightened her curiosity.
