But when he mentioned that he was acquainted with some people, I didn't quite agree.

"We haven't really talked much, have we? How do you know we're close?"

Shen Mu Ning is quite similar to herself in how she interacts with people; she doesn't take the initiative to develop deep friendships with the educated youth.

In addition, she cooks for herself, so the only time she spends with them each day is the two hours she spends collecting firewood.

During that time, they were working diligently and didn't have time to chat with us.

Zhang Jiayang knew that Chu Mingxu would not admit it, but luckily he had a good memory and good eyesight.

He remembered everything that happened between them very clearly.

Otherwise, we would have let him fool us.

"What? You were the one who spoke up for Cao Jin when he was pursuing her and framing her."

"And yesterday, you insisted on coming back with me. Isn't that a lot of contact?"

Chu Mingxu thought about it carefully and realized that this person had memorized every scene of his conversation with Shen Mu Ning.

However, "So what? She's been here for over twenty days, and I've only spoken to her a handful of times."

"Think about it, we don't interact very often, do we?"

Zhang Jiayang couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment, because it seemed that the two didn't have much contact.

Little did he know that Chu Mingxu, seeing that he had been intimidated, breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he might have fallen for Shen Mu Ning, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on going back with her yesterday.

Even though we've known for centuries that she's always been very skilled, we still can't help but worry about her encountering danger.

If he encountered other people on the mountain, he would definitely walk at his own pace.

Once it's determined that he has no evidence to prove they made a private deal, we'll leave him alone.

Yesterday, I realized that I was preoccupied with my own concerns, which is why I hesitated and abandoned my plans.
