Xi Lan shook her head helplessly, the corners of her mouth lifting in a teasing yet fond smile. "You don't have to fly, and you're not afraid of the direct sun. What would you do with it? Use it as a fan?"
Xuyue had just opened his mouth to defend himself, but before he could get a word out, Xi Lan decisively raised a hand to cut him off. Her gaze was firm as she looked at him. "Haven't you spent the last ten-plus years getting by on your own two feet? You've endured wind and sun all this time. You can't handle a short distance like this now? Stop making excuses."
Xuyue: ...
He was instantly speechless, unable to say a single word.
Her words hit the nail right on the head, cutting to the heart of the matter and choking off any excuse he might have had for special treatment. He was left with no room to even argue.
He felt both helpless and impressed.
