She was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend what the other person was saying. For the first time, this close friend felt like a stranger.
"Chen... Chen Xi, kidnapping is illegal! Don't persist in this madness. Let me go!"
"This has to be a prank, right?"
"Is your family short on money? I can give you lots of it, even that newly released rare Pet Beast! Just don't do anything foolish."
Shen Yun grew agitated. She would rather weave lies to deceive herself than believe Chen Xi would actually harm her.
How could such a gentle and pure young woman be a villain?
"Actually, my initial reason for getting close to you was simply to keep some annoying flies away."
Chen Xi's pink lips twitched, and she slowly shook her head. "It's strange, really. Humans are such foolish and complex creatures. They show the utmost tolerance for beautiful things, yet simultaneously harbor fantasies of destroying that very beauty."
