"Don't call me sweety, and I already know all about Zhu Qingyue. There is no need to warn me. I'd rather you stay away!" Grumbled Li Meirong as she brought her fist down, realizing she cannot reach high enough to smack the audacious girl. She turned around stomped off towards Snowball, picking the somewhat limp snow fox into her arms.
Li Meirong felt more than saw the crazy, audacious girl following after her while hovering overhead.
"Do you really know Zhu Qingyue's secret?" Xiong Mei asked from behind, sounding incredulous.
"Yes," Li Meirong nodded her head in assurance, "I figured it out by now and I'm fine with it." She said and headed back to the crane mount perched upon the side of the beach, hoping that if she were to ignore Xiong Mei long enough, she'd eventually go away.
"How unexpected," Xiong Mei grunted, "And kinda disappointing." Her eyes widened in astonishment, "I thought you'd hate him for lying to you."
"A lot of people lie about this kind of thing because it's hard for them to be accepted into society." Li Meirong tactfully explained. It was true, even the more advanced society from which her soul originally came from still frowned upon homosexuality.
"Is that a fact?" Now it was Xiong Mei's turn to sound confounded by the other girl.
"Yes. But just because you're like that too doesn't mean you can go around kissing people! You have to get their approval first!" Li Meirong turned around and lashed out in anger.
She always believed that everybody should be with whoever makes them feel happy, as long as they don't make the other person miserable in the process. If love wasn't a two-way street, it would simply be a one-sided affection that ends up as a tragedy. A person cannot be forced into loving someone.
Unfortunately, Li Meirong's words of outrage fell on deaf ears, for by the time she pivoted to admonish Xiong Mei, the audacious girl had already disappeared.
"Why am I always meeting lunatics?" She wondered aloud as she mounted the crane, placing Snowball upon her lap.
The moment the dragoness had flown away, Bai Yu realized his pressure points had been unsealed. He disregarded the dangerous position of his butt on Her Ladyship's lap and cried out in anguish, "Master! Master was molested!"
Li Meirong gave Snowball a sour look and ruffled his fur, "Don't speak nonsense!"
