Que Meng bit her lip, leaving a faint red mark on its soft surface.
She stiffened her neck and defiantly raised her head.
"I can get a mate! I've been old enough for a long time! The elders in the tribe have all approved it. I'm not a child!"
"Besides…"
Her voice grew quieter, yet it sounded even more obstinate.
"Besides, Qi Cha is the Male Beast I like the most. I know he likes you now, but so what? Feelings can change. As long as you two haven't officially become mates, as long as you haven't held the ceremony, exchanged tokens, and sworn your vows in the tribe… I still have a chance."
"Hold it!"
Chu Jing suddenly raised a hand.
"Wait. A second ago you were saying Qi Cha is a jerk, so why are you trying to fight me for him now?"
Chu Jing was completely confused, her brows knitting together unconsciously.
She stared at the small, thin figure before her.
'This girl's train of thought is like a kite with a broken string, drifting all over the place.'
