"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Do you think we're in a relationship?" Seeing Xia Xiaoxiao avoid the topic, Xu Qingfan patted her.
"Wh-what relationship!"
"Only a ghost would be in a relationship with you!"
Xia Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality, immediately pulled her hand away, and jumped back three meters away from Xu Qingfan.
She held her hands up in front of her and tried to stay calm as she emphasized, "Xu Qingfan, don't even think about it!"
Xu Qingfan watched Xia Xiaoxiao's performance and, even though he had expected it, he still let out a slow breath of relief.
Knowing her as well as he did, Xu Qingfan realized the more he hinted at such things, the more Xia Xiaoxiao would deny them.
Just like the first time they kissed on the rooftop. How did Xia Xiaoxiao explain it? "I kissed you to thank you for your birthday gift. Don't think too much!"
Of course, despite being 99% sure, there was still that 1% worry that Xia Xiaoxiao would do something unexpected.
