To confirm he hadn't misunderstood, Ethan asked, "Did you recognize me back at Fireplace Bay?"
"I saw you practicing the Ice Arrow."
Miss Witch was likely referring to the time when he and the Ice Elemental Elf won the first skimming stones competition; he couldn't help but feel grateful that Miss Witch didn't join halfway, otherwise he might have had to settle for second place.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on these matters. Ethan had a more soul-searching question, "What you said back then, was it true?"
The other had talked about a long-distance boyfriend; if you put yourself in Zhaocai's shoes, it did seem plausible.
"Not entirely."
"Haha, I knew it."
Ethan immediately said, as the saying goes, if you laugh fast enough, awkwardness can't catch up with you.
Miss Witch raised her eyes to him and explained seriously, "Tying you up and putting you in the basement after knocking you out was a friend's idea. I've already reprimanded her and held a reflection meeting."
