Bai Lingling pretended not to notice either of them judging her.
She leaned in a little closer to Little Black and lowered her voice into a confidential whisper, as if discussing military strategy of great importance. "Those two things are very hateful, and if I go there alone, who knows what ugly faces they might make. But if I bring you, then even if they want to be disgusting, they will at least have to be disgusting while sweating."
That part, naturally, was the plain truth.
Little Black looked at her coolly for another moment. His golden eyes narrowed slightly, and then he rose slowly to his feet.
The movement was simple.
Very simple.
But because Bai Lingling was Bai Lingling, she immediately took that as full agreement.
In her logic, silence meant yes. Standing up also meant yes. If he blinked with enough meaning, that probably meant yes too.
So Bai Lingling instantly straightened and declared happily, "Good. Since you do not object, you will come with me."
