"Can you not do that again? It's very risky and could cost you your life." She advised after a short silence.
"Sorry, I can't promise you that." Ye Xuan replied.

"Then at least, can you give me a chance to protect myself before you take action? If you see that I am in danger and can't protect myself, only then can you make a move." Chu Miao compromised and proposed a condition she thought was acceptable for both of them.
"No." It was a concise answer given in a very serious tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Miao was also getting frustrated.
