Qin Lianyi almost choked on the food in her mouth. She managed to swallow the food in her mouth and looked up into Bai Tingxin's eyes. His eyes were staring deeply at her now as if he wanted to see through her.
"Well..." She bit her lip and managed to come up with a reason. "Because sometimes… You look a little too indifferent, just like... Uh, a lotus. Yes, a lotus can only be appreciated and not messed around with, so... I... I don’t dare to do anything intimate with you."
As she spoke, she felt a pang of guilt as she thought of their intimate moment back then. Look at what she had gotten herself into because of it! Even if she had some funny ideas, she did not dare to act on them!
'Bah! What funny ideas?' Qin Lianyi quickly told herself that she did not want to get into any more trouble with him.
"Why don’t you just do it anyway?" he asked, amused.
She was shocked. If she knew that her mistakes in the past would result in this, she would not have gotten drunk even if she would be killed. "I was drunk. As you know, I'm not a very good drinker. I get drunk easily, and when I'm drunk, I don't have much control over my behavior. I... I didn't mean it..."
Her voice got softer and softer while his eyes grew colder and colder. He was giving her a strange sense of dread. Even her saliva was now stuck in her throat.
"That's true. If you had meant it, you wouldn't have left the next day without saying goodbye," he said.
"..." She felt as if she had been struck again.
He beckoned to the waiter and ordered a bottle of wine. Then, he opened it and offered her a glass.
She blinked and looked at the wine in front of her. Surely, he was not...
"Yes," he said lightly.
