"Are you afraid of heights?" Brother Nan asked.
"I don't know. Probably not?" Zhou Li thought for a moment. I'm a Heavenly Master, after all. I've climbed towering ancient trees in the Old Land World and ridden a ladybug demon across Dian Lake through a drafty window. I should have some resistance. "I only get scared if it's really high."
"Idiot."
"What's wrong?"
"You could have said you were scared. Then you could have clung tightly to my strong arms and nestled into my sturdy chest," Brother Nan said.
"Is that so...?" Zhou Li felt a pang of regret. "I don't like to lie."
"PFFT..."
"What about you?"
"I'm the one who doesn't lie!"
"I'm asking if you're afraid of heights."
"HMM..." Brother Nan pinched her small chin, pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Maybe a little... At most, a tiny bit."
Zhou Li nodded. "Thanks."
Brother Nan immediately laughed heartily. "You saw through me!"
Zhou Li continued to nod.
