The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel“s Disguise Chapter 173 Thankless & Ruthless

"Liar! How can it be his first kiss? Don't spout nonsense!" Ru wasn't inclined on believing him. Didn't he steal a kiss before as well? But she was forgetting that neither that was a real kiss nor Ji Syaoran had a clue about it.
"Why would I lie to you?" Ji Syaoran felt wronged at being called a liar.
"Because your brother seemed... experienced." Ru bobbed her head up and down seemingly feeling nothing wrong with her words. She definitely found the right word; experienced.
If Ji Syaoran hadn't been controlled by his emotions, he would have asked, "How experienced are you to know what the kiss was like?" But unfortunately, he was on the leash of his chaotic emotions.
"He's not experienced!" Ji Syaoran was irked, even forgetting that this was not the topic that brought him here.
Ru was equally exasperated if not worse as she snapped back, "I said he is!"
"He is not! And how are you so sure?"
"Because I was at the other end of that kiss!"
Ji Syaoran: "..."
Ru: "..." What did I just say? She smacked her head inwardly while sighing, 'Why is this bloody tongue not under my control?'
'Shouldn't you be questioning your experience?' Her conscious chose this moment to mock her.
Ji Syaoran was utterly left speechless as he almost choked on air. But thinking that choking on air to death won't be a good way to die, so he dropped the idea. However, he still couldn't come up with a retort. What could he possibly say? Wasn't it already a very strange scenario that he was discussing his brother's kissing experience with a GUY!
Even Ru wasn't planning on opening her mouth again. She was cursing her loose mouth for not thinking before speaking at all. But she was rather more thick-skinned than most people as she convinced herself, 'Embarrassment? HA! Every living person is bound to have those moments. Let's get over it!'
With a newfound vision, she stood up and went to get a glass of hot water for the still dumbfounded Ji Syaoran. In a daze, he even took the glass from her and was jolted awake when the piping hot water scalded his tongue. He glared at Ru who shrugged in reply.
"How long are you planning on staying?" Ru grew impatient seeing him having no intention of leaving.
Ji Syaoran took a seat and blew on hot water to take a sip as the water entered his body, he felt himself wakening up. "You seem close to Zhu Jie."
Ru narrowed her eyes at him but didn't question him about how he knew Zhu Jie. "What does that have to do with you?"
"I just don't want you to make my brother wear a green hat. Ow! Ow!"
Ru had pulled his ear. "You talk too much. Get your bloody facts straight. Jie is married you fool! And I'm straight. Most importantly, I have no interest in your brother at all!" Her growling deep voice actually scared Ji Syaoran who had a weird expression mixed with his aggrieved look of being bullied under her hand.
"Huh? You mean you're just playing with my brother. How could you!" His accusing tone made her hyperventilate in anger.
"I so want to break your bones right now." She gnashed her teeth while her eyes bore holes in Ji Syaoran.
He hid his hands behind his back saying, "Break anything but don't touch my hands. They are precious."
Ru was at the point where she was gaping at this weird human being before her. Wasn't his thinking really unconventional? Why was he not going by the script?
"Shouldn't you be happy right now?" She asked.
"Why would I be? If you're not interested in my brother than that means my brother is holding a torch for nothing. He'll be heartbroken again. This is not fair to him." Ji Syaoran's brooding made Ru feel a headache coming on.
'What if he couldn't take this second rejection? First, that thankless girl left him and now, this ruthless man is playing with my brother's emotions.' Ji Syaoran was feeling helpless and agitated.
If he knew that both the thankless girl in his memory and the ruthless man before him were the same person, he would definitely puke blood.
But if Ru knew that he called her a thankless person, he would still have to puke blood since, under her hands, people could only puke blood if not their guts.
