"Ugh... talk about boredom, the Commander has his hands full all day long, yet why on earth has he set his sights on a Little Shrimp like me? Unbelievable."
Gu Xia grumbled with her thermos in tow, sipping water as she headed to the Commander's office.
Arriving at the door and just about to knock, she saw the Commander proactively open it, startling her.
"Come in."
"Uh, sure."
Gu Xia, not daring to decline, silently followed the Commander into his office.
"Sit."
"I really shouldn't."
Gu Xia clutched her thermos with the beleaguered look of an aggrieved little wife, almost making the Commander crack a smile.
"Take a seat, it's okay, I won't eat you up."
"I'm not very tasty either," she retorted.
"You, comrade, just can't stand to be slighted. Would speaking less strip you of flesh?" the Commander sighed, shaking his head.
"Not at all, but Commander, if you speak more, do you gain an extra piece of flesh?"
Commander: ...
The Commander nearly choked on his old blood.
