บท 407: Confession

Shen Mo looked at the various bottles and jars on the counter, unable to distinguish between the salt and sugar as they looked very similar. He asked, "Which one is salt and which is sugar?"

Jiang Xia was momentarily taken aback, almost losing grip of her spatula.

She turned to Shen Mo, her face reddening instantly, and said, "The one on the right is salt, and the one on the left is sugar."

Shen Mo nodded, then handed her the salt. There was an awkward moment between them.

It was Jiang Xia who broke the silence first, asking, "Why did you come?"

Shen Mo stuttered, unable to articulate his thoughts at first, and finally mustered the courage to say, "I wanted to talk to you."

Jiang Xia was taken aback again, somewhat evasively, "What's there to talk about?"

Shen Mo pressed, "You've been avoiding me for two or three months. Don't we need to talk and resolve this issue?"

Jiang Xia fell silent again.
