Little Bowl seemed to be at a loss for words.
Recalling how she was so proactive in acting as Zhu Shi's "wingman" earlier, even calling herself "the bonus for conquering Zhu Shi," this act of willingly placing herself in a supporting role now seems quite contradictory in retrospect. I don't believe she was lying or putting on a show; she must have been sincere in doing so. However, just as facts can create biases in people's hearts, sincere actions can also be used to cover up other true intentions.
A few seconds later, Little Bowl hesitantly said, "Brother Zhuang Cheng, although being frank has always been your strength... suddenly using this way to confront me, isn't it a bit too criminal?"
"When it comes to being criminal, wasn't your earlier statement even more criminal?" I said.
