บท 121: Severity Matters

Sun Hu glanced at Xia Xin, then at Jing Mo, and deliberately asked Xia Xin, "Do you like Mo Shu?"

Xia Xin immediately replied, "Of course not! I don't even know him well. We only worked together on a few scenes in the past, and we hardly exchanged a few words. If it weren't for the coincidence of him running into me yesterday, he probably wouldn't have asked for my help. We're not even friends, so where does the liking come from?"

Sun Hu looked at Jing Mo again, carefully observing all of his expressions, and said, "Alright, think about my suggestion for now. I'll come back later to discuss it with you."

Xia Xin obediently agreed, and then Sun Hu went upstairs to find Jing Mo.

Sun Hu closed the door behind him after he and Jing Mo entered the study.

Jing Mo's study featured a wall of bookshelves, a desk by the window, and a wooden rocking chair beside it. On the windowsill sat a lush pot of green ivy.
