"I don't want it!" Lin Xiaoyan's voice rang out, laced with defensiveness, but Master Zhang's only response was a raised eyebrow, his expression silently asking, 'are you sure?'.
Lin Xiaoyan let out a frustrated sigh and raked his hand through his hair, calming himself. "I'm not taking it for fun, okay?" he said, launching into an explanation without prompt. "I have really bad insomnia, and it helps me sleep. That's the only reason." His words spilled out in a defensive rush, eager to justify himself, despite Master Zhang's silence.
Master Zhang merely cackled in amusement, his eyes glinting with mirth as he watched Lin Xiaoyan's face redden in embarrassment while walking away. Master Zhang's eyes danced with amusement at the sight, and his lips curled up into a mischievous grin.
