The slap landed on her face, burning with pain, but Tian Xiaorou was already used to it.
Tian Tieniu looked up, gave Tian Xiaorou a cold glance, retracted his hand, and said slowly, "No matter what, that's still your third brother, it's not your place to gossip."
Her lowered eyes burned with resentment, and Tian Xiaorou squeezed out a hum from her throat.
Seeing Tian Xiaorou behave more obediently, Tian Tieniu calmed down, "Tell me, about the task I gave you, how did it go?"
"It's hard to do."
Tian Tieniu frowned, raising his tone, "Hard to do?"
"Yes."
Tian Xiaorou bent down to the well, scooped a handful of cool water, splashed it on her face, the burning sensation eased a bit, then she opened her mouth and said, "Xiao Chenye doesn't even fancy Li Lihong, let alone me."
"It's only right not to fancy Li Lihong, isn't it?" Tian Tieniu commented disdainfully, "A skinny little girl, always shouting around. You're different."
