This bout of laughter went on for quite a while. Every time Mu Qiu tried to stop and continue with the script, she'd catch sight of Shi Yuhuai's face and that chip still stuck at his collar, and burst into laughter again.
After several rounds of this, Shi Yuhuai's face was left numb.
Finally, he violently shook his clothes, dislodging several chip crumbs, which allowed Mu Qiu to slowly stop laughing and regain the emotions she'd had when entering, ready to proceed with the plot.
Tears were still there, but they were from laughter, and the voice calling out "Mr. Huai" could never return to that previously deep and affectionate tone. Anyone who had just been through such a fit of laughter would find it hard to be sincere in front of Shi Yuhuai.
"Mr. Huai, tell me, was it him? Was it him who insulted you and forced you to wear this woman's dress?!"
Shi Yuhuai remained silent.
