Gu Nian spoke with a slight smile, as if this were just a casual conversation.
But having interacted with him just once via video call, Baili Jing already understood his nature.
He was being passive-aggressive, taking a jab at him for clinging to Jiang Qingli.
Anyone else might have gotten angry, but not Baili Jing.
Baili Jing lifted his long lashes and lazily glanced at the video feed. He then turned his head, moving closer to the girl in his arms.
"I guess I'm being too clingy…" Baili Jing pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, Xiao Li. Am I being annoying?"
"Of course not…" Jiang Qingli quickly reached out to pat his head. "Don't overthink things when you're sick."
"Okay." Baili Jing smiled at Jiang Qingli, his words full of affection. "You're so good to me, babe."
Out of the girl's sight, Baili Jing glanced sideways. His pale gold eyes stared at the screen, narrowing slightly, full of provocation.
