Shi Mei hid her subtle expressions quite well.
Even when Bai Yuejie stared at her, she seemed only to be confused by ignorance.
Seeing this, Bai Yuejie's smile grew even gentler as she softly said, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be a gift that Shi Mei herself gave to Grandma, and she would dislike you even more then."
Sure enough, Shi Mei's face showed fear and panic, "Don't dislike Shi Mei, Shi Mei is good!"
"Then promise me, don't tell anyone, okay?"
Shi Mei nodded decisively.
Bai Yuejie smiled tenderly, "Now tell me, what did you promise me?"
Stumbling, Shi Mei quickly repeated, "To imitate Tang Wu, not to tell others."
"Anybody," Bai Yuejie emphasized, "remember, okay?"
Shi Mei nodded vigorously.
Bai Yuejie, satisfied, patted her head, "Very good, shall Sister Bai take you for some sweets?"
Shi Mei's eyes finally sparkled with their usual brilliance, her pitch-black pupils shining brilliantly, "Mm-hmm!"
