The "phone call" lasted a full half hour. Half an hour later, Keisha still didn't know how He Xi had the nerve to come back and face her.
Watching the other person walk back gracefully and calmly to their seat, Keisha confirmed that it was a face that had become thick enough after being worn down by time.
“Little Xixi,” Keisha looked at her quietly, “Little Crane…”
He Xi sipped her tea quietly, then rolled her eyes at her, saying, "You're so annoying~"
"Sigh...it's all for Queen Keisha~" He Xi smoothed her silver hair and sighed softly, "Even if he offends me a hundred times more, for your sake, don't I have to endure it?"
He poured himself a cup of fresh tea and took a sip, clearly having just wasted his breath talking.
“At the beginning of the mission, I didn’t explicitly order you to be involved.” Keisha looked at her with some curiosity.
He Xi remained unmoved, instead blinking: "Don't be so ambiguous, as if something happened..."
Believe me, anyone could have been brought under control and completely subdued, without a shred of temper.
She didn't seem embarrassed at all, and said cheerfully, "When you keep hitting a wall in front of him, and his words always leave you with a sore head, and you still get nothing out of it, you'll find that it's such an easy and pleasant thing to apologize to him and act cute."
Only then would he be willing to reveal a few things.
He Xi paused here, clearly feeling a little embarrassed.
Although I'm a little embarrassed, that's roughly the gist of it.
“So,” Keisha pondered the words carefully, then tentatively offered her interpretation, “you were… tamed by him?”
Her eyes held an indescribable curiosity and strangeness.
"Me!" He Xi instantly lost her composure, almost exploding in anger: "That's not what I meant! I meant... me!"
She was somewhat speechless. Seeing Keisha's increasingly gossipy expression, she immediately closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them, saying very seriously, "I am carrying out the task you gave me very seriously! It's just... it's all strategy. Do you understand strategy?"
Keisha looked at her and nodded seriously: "I understand, I understand..."
She really understood what she was saying, but her strange tone almost made He Xi faint!
“It wouldn’t matter who goes.” He Xi gritted her teeth, widened her eyes to make herself look more imposing, and said very seriously, “He’s an unbreakable copper pea, no matter what he wants or what forceful methods he uses.”
He's a cool and aloof yet secretly lecherous guy. He covets you but doesn't take the initiative to show you affection, and he teases you every now and then.
He's like the oldest hand pump; only after you've given him a taste of success will he be willing to give you something in return, or even more.
I was just carrying out a mission. Showing weakness was just a strategy. These are all strategies, and I had no other choice... It just gradually became a habit.
Keisha: "I understand, I understand..."
She warmly grasped He Xi's hand: "Thank you for your hard work, He Xi."
Although she had some understanding of He Xi's predicament, she never expected there to be so many twists and turns involved, nor did she expect that there would be angels willing to use their beauty to entertain people for the sake of their mission... How truly admirable!
He Xi rolled her eyes at her, just about to back down...
"I never imagined you knew him so well, so meticulously. You must have put in a lot of effort," Keisha remarked with admiration. "You're truly remarkable..."
He Xi simply closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and ignored her completely.
At first, she didn't think anything of it, but the more she talked, the more Keisha interfered, and she almost believed that something was wrong with her... She was being led astray.
What she said was the truth; Wang Ji was not an easy guy to manipulate.
Unless you kill him with a sword, there's really nothing you can do. She's gotten to where she is today step by step, and her temper has been worn down little by little.
Actually, that's not entirely true... She also gets along well with Wang Ji; she's thick-skinned and can handle it.
Seeing that she was easy to bully, he became even more demanding.
Anyway, she was "enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens".
She doesn't deny that it's very enjoyable to joke around with a handsome and intelligent man every day, but being completely subdued by him isn't because she has any ulterior motives; that's just how things are.
She felt that given the difficulty of this task, even if Keisha were in charge, she might end up being forced to call him "big brother."
Unless Wang Ji really angers Keisha and kills him with a single sword strike.
Of course, knowing Wang Ji as He Xi does, this guy wouldn't really piss off Keisha. At most, he'd be teetering on the edge of disaster, making people itchy to get what they wanted...
Thinking about it this way, He Xi suddenly felt a little excited!
She was curious how Keisha would react if Wang Ji "tortured" her in the same way.
Hmm... she seemed to suddenly understand the fun Keisha had just experienced.
"You must be thinking something rude."
Just as He Xi was about to burst out laughing, Keisha looked at her with piercing eyes and said.
"Ahem..." He Xi sat upright, his gaze clear and honest: "No."
Actually, she also felt it was a bit of a pity. Wang Ji and Keisha had very little interaction. Or rather, apart from their brief encounter, Keisha only heard about Wang Ji's recent situation from her own accounts.
Keisha was concerned about Wang Ji's problems because some of the most basic issues could not be completely ruled out, and they could not ignore them.
