Upon hearing Qi Sili's words, Zha Muxi could not help the corners of her lips turning upward. Her laughter was like a gentle breeze in summer, softly brushing past with a hint of delight and ease. Her eyes flickered with mirth, as if stars twinkling in the night sky, brilliant and enchanting.
Laughing, she waved a hand and said, "Qi Sili, don't get me wrong. I just thought of something else funny; I am definitely not laughing at you. I can swear it on my integrity as an Imperial Tutor." There was a warmth and friendliness in Zha Muxi's voice that warmed anyone's heart to hear it.
Seeing this, Qi Sili froze slightly, then curled his lip, looking somewhat helpless—as if Xiao Xier had any integrity to speak of. He sighed softly and said, "Xiao Xier, you're always like this. If you think what I said was wrong, just tell me directly. Why bother playing along with a laugh like that? It makes me feel like I'm just making an unreasonable fuss."
