"You can nick your face while shaving?" Seventh Master Jian gave her another look as if she was being incredibly stupid.
"That… um," Ye Qingci coughed awkwardly, then mumbled, "Slip of the hand, you know! Everyone makes mistakes, horses stumble, and you see on TV, there are even people who accidentally swallow their toothbrush while brushing. That's super tricky, what happened to you is nothing compared to that."
"You little girl," Jian Shichu poked her forehead hard, "You're killing me with frustration!"
