"You are stupid already," Mei shot back, crossing her arms defiantly.
"Stupid people know each other!" Lian retorted, a playful glint in her eye.
"Grandpa! She called me stupid!" Mei yelled, already gearing up for another playful argument.
"Don't you dare play the victim. You called me stupid first!" Lian countered, sticking her tongue out.
Inside the room, as the banter drifted through the walls, Xiang Yu turned to Han Xin, his voice barely above a whisper, "Are you ready?"
"Always," Han Xin replied, his eyes locked on Xiang Yu's, filled with intent. He wrapped his arms around Xiang Yu's waist, pulling him closer, their foreheads almost touching. Then, he planted a gentle kiss on Xiang Yu's lips, savouring the moment.
"Wait for me to get back... I won't be long," Han Xin said softly, breaking the kiss and looking into Xiang Yu's deep eyes.
"Okay, I will wait for you," Xiang Yu promised, his voice steady and warm.
