"I'm pretty curious," Chu Bamboo said, leaning back in his office chair and sizing up the two men before him with a peculiar expression. "You two seem so chummy now. Are you still rivals?"
"Chummy? I wouldn't say that," Zhao Shao said, stunned for a moment. He glanced at Lin Xia beside him, and after a brief thought, a look of disdain crossed his face. He scooted his chair a little farther away from Lin Xia.
Then, Zhao Shao looked at Chu Bamboo, his voice full of sincerity. "In this whole world, the person I'm closest to is you... Ah Zhu!"
"If I had to choose between Lin Xia and you, I'd choose you a million times over."
Chu Bamboo was speechless, a grimace twisting his face. "...Dude, if a girl said that to me, I'd be touched... but coming from you, it's just... not necessary, you know?"
