Mo Weiye: "I made up an identity for you that'll make it easy to come and go at my place. It's absolutely foolproof."
Xie Lizhou nervously rubs his hands together. "Is it going to be your boyfri..."
Mo Weiye cuts him off coolly. "I told my family you're a pretty pet I picked up outside, the kind who can't bear to leave my side and goes woof woof in private. Don't you think that's an adorable character setup?"

After Mo Weiye bullies him for several chapters, Xie Lizhou finally thinks of a way to get back at her: he orders the embarrassing novel she wrote as a teenager online and reads it aloud to her.

Xie Lizhou is about to lose it. "Can you forget the pretty-pet thing and acknowledge that I'm an independent human being?!"
