Closer and closer

Caihong raised her brow and stared at him. "That is what I should be asking you. Why are you here?"

Xiaosi slightly coughed. "I was just thirsty."

"Then why did you ask for medicine?"

His brow twitched. "It's just some weakness. Nothing else."

"So why did the maid say that you got a stomach ache?" She narrowed her eyes.

He just blankly stared at the air as he tapped his finger on the counter. But his mind was rapidly thinking of what to say next. "You heard it wrong."

Caihong smiled. "My hearing is just fine. If it's weakness, why would she bring medicine for stomach ache?"

"Your hearing is fine, but I think that maid's sight is not fine at all. She needs a checkup. I clearly told her to bring me medicine for general weakness. She bought it for a stomach ache."

Her mouth twitched. After a pause, she looked up at him and said, "You should have told me that you already had dinner. Why didn't you say anything?"
