Looking at the slightly shy girl before him, Ye Xuan chuckled and said, "My name is Ye Xuan, 'Ye' as in leaf, 'Xuan' from 'Xuan Yuan'. Seeing as you're much younger than me, you can call me Brother Ye!"
"Ye... Xuan..." Wang Dandan murmured softly, her eyes dimming once again, "Brother Ye, let me die! Why did you save me?"
"You're only sixteen years old, still a girl brimming with Vibrance in the prime of youth. I can't bear to see a budding flower withering before it has a chance to bloom," Ye Xuan said with earnest conviction.
"Girl in the prime of youth... Do I still count as one now? That term has nothing to do with me anymore, I'm just an old lady in her fifties or sixties." Wang Dandan smiled bitterly, her face taking on a self-deprecating expression.
"No! You're not an old lady!" Ye Xuan insisted with certainty.
"Brother Ye, don't lie to me, my appearance has aged! I've seen it myself, how am I not an old lady?" Wang Dandan said, her expression forlorn.
