"Fine, I'll just accept the watch, considering Chuyi could actually use one," Xia Chu decided and then earnestly said to Huo Shiqian, "I'll pick out a gift for you in return."
"Okay," he responded very quickly.
Xia Chu tugged at the corner of her mouth.
He couldn't have planned for this all along, could he?
"But just so we're clear, Uncle Liberation Army... Ouch!" Her head got knocked, and she glared at him, rubbing her sore spot.
Inside, she rolled her eyes and then cutely said, "Let's get this straight, Brother Shiqian, I don't have much money, so I can't buy any fancy gifts, okay?"
There's no way it could compare to the value of this designer watch anyway.
"It's no issue," Huo Shiqian patted her head and said, "Next time I write to you, I'll send some money along, so you can take your time choosing."
"..."
She didn't have enough eye-rolls for this.
