章 64: A Lecture

Mo Yu felt a lump in his throat. The normally well-spoken child could only stammer, "What, what... are you talking about... I was not trying to protect you..."

Mo Li was not going to stay there and argue semantics with him. It was meaningless. She nodded, a sign that she understood and appreciated everything he had done for her.

However this did not make Mo Yu feel more at ease, if anything it only made his heart race faster. The pressure on him heightened.

She nodded? Why did she nod?

Did she really think I was trying to protect her? Because of what she did for me with Lin Mu?

No, wait! Why would I care about what she is thinking?!
