Chapter 646 - He Didn’t Need That (1/2)
Xin Lan took a deep breath and fought himself back to his feet. He swayed slightly but after taking another deep breath, he had already stabilized himself. He jumped upward and back into the restaurant before Xiang Yu could open another gate and vanish. ”Can we talk about it?”
Xiang Yu raised his chin. ”No.”
”Why?”
”Tian was right. You're no good. I don't want anything to do with you.”
Xin Lan's lips twitched. ”I'm no good?”
”No. You didn't even pay.”
”What?”
Xiang Yu pointed to the other side of the road again. A woman was kneeling next to the broken stall, covering her face with her hands and crying.

He didn't wait for her to actually finish and leaped back up, staring at Xiang Yu. ”Are you happy now?”
”You have no empathy at all!”
Xin Lan took a deep breath. ”I don't think I want to hear that from a fallen god.”
”You shouldn't talk like that to the person you like.”
”Right. But that person isn't you so why do you care?”
Xiang Yu froze. ”What … What do you mean?”
”I said you're not the person I like so don't bother with how I talk. Now, let's —”
