"Shi'er, come clean," Chu Chu asked, "how many girls have you fooled with that pretty face of yours?"
Every time she called out "Shi'er," it made Sheng Shi feel as if time had rolled back halfway, quickly receding to those most radiant teenage days, his eyes brimming with an undissolvable gentleness and affection. Hearing her say that, he chuckled softly, grinning ear to ear, "Chu Chu, I have never deceived them."
What he said was the truth. He had never lied to any woman. It was always the women who threw themselves at him. If he found them pleasing to the eye, he would date them; once he grew tired, he would break up.
Gu Lanshan had been drinking. She wiped her mouth and gazed at Sheng Shi very seriously, shaking her head, "Shi'er, you're lying to me... I have seen you make girls cry."
Sheng Shi lifted his hand to stroke her long hair, "Chu Chu, do you have any idea how many women would love for me to reduce them to tears? I never gave them that chance."
