But then I thought about it again, and the little girl did the same thing last night, and she didn't seem to be like this.

Looking over there at Gao Xiaoxiao, whose complexion wasn't much better, he knew the answer perfectly well.

"You two had another fight?" Shen Shaolin averted his gaze at the opportune moment, a smirk playing on his lips. As he spoke, a clear hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"I can't be bothered arguing with that old witch." Mo Xiaoqing frowned, seemingly disliking mentioning her.

Shen Shaolin raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He wouldn't say he understood the girl's temperament perfectly, but after spending time with her a few times, he had a fairly good grasp of it.

This is the first time I've ever heard someone speak so rudely.

They even called on the old witch.

estimate--

Shen Shaolin smiled knowingly and asked her, "Did she say something nasty again?"

Well, as expected of Shen Shaolin, the fox spirit.

You can smell the flames of war just from her words.

"Hmm." Mo Xiaoqing blinked.

Sure enough, the old witch really is unpopular!

"Should I go over and give her a little pointers?" Shen Shaolin asked with a knowing smile.

"No need, I didn't suffer any loss from her." Mo Xiaoqing shook her head. She wasn't the type to gossip behind people's backs. Even if she disliked someone or they had a falling out, she still had that much manners.

Besides, that old witch is probably so angry she's practically vomiting blood right now. She'd better be generous and not let herself get so angry that she'll be dragged down with Hanhan and the others.

Mo Xiaoqing changed the subject, "Where's Hanhan?"

“Over there.” Shen Shaolin was used to Mo Xiaoqing’s tendency to talk about Ji Muhan all the time. He turned around and pointed to Ji Muhan, who was resting against a tree.

"Thanks."

Mo Xiaoqing didn't even stop walking, heading straight towards where Ji Muhan was.

"Hey, Vice Captain, what exactly is the relationship between the Captain and the young lady?" Qi Guang asked curiously as soon as Mo Xiaoqing walked away.

Shen Shaolin smiled and gave Mo Xiaoqing, who had already walked up to Ji Muhan, a meaningful look. The two were talking about something, and the girl was all smiles again.

“Of course…” Shen Shaolin withdrew his gaze, paused, “I don’t know either.”

Qi Guang, "..."

Shen Shaolin placed his index finger on his lips, a slight smile playing on his lips, his deep eyes replying, "But I reckon things will get interesting soon."

"Tch." Qi Guang scoffed at his words.

This way.

"Hanhan~" Mo Xiaoqing walked up to Ji Muhan and called out the nickname she had used no less than a hundred times, even emphasizing the last syllable.

The little girl Ji Muhan had called his name countless times throughout the day. He had long since gotten used to her calling him every now and then and was too lazy to respond. He simply wiped the dagger clean.

"I have a question for you." Mo Xiaoqing bit her lip, her brows furrowing slightly in a rare show of hesitation.

Ji Muhan paused for a moment, then said, "Speak."

"Who do you think is prettier, me or Miss Gao?" Mo Xiaoqing suddenly moved closer to his face, staring at him intently and stubbornly.

Ji Muhan paused for a few seconds before realizing that the "Miss Gao" she was referring to was that idiot from that afternoon. She looked directly at her with a calm and indifferent gaze, and her aloof and ascetic appearance made her even more irresistible.

He asked casually, "What did I do to you again?"

Mo Xiaoqing was taken aback.

He immediately realized that he was referring to Gao Xiaoxiao, and a sweet feeling welled up inside him.

Ji Muhan used the word "provoke," which means that in his mind, Gao Xiaoxiao's impression of him was as bad as a mad dog, biting people whenever she had a chance, and he was even certain that it was Gao Xiaoxiao's fault without hesitation.

Wow, Hanhan, how can you be so kind?

Seeing that she didn't respond, Ji Muhan just grinned foolishly, her beautiful eyes, like a thousand stars, staring straight at him without any attempt to hide her gaze, not answering, laughing like a little fool.

Ji Muhan, “…” You’re crazy.

"You haven't answered my question yet." After laughing for a while, Mo Xiaoqing's smile faded, and she continued to press on relentlessly.

"I don't know." Ji Muhan's gaze was indifferent, dismissing her with three simple words.

"You can't answer like that. You have to choose one." Mo Xiaoqing frowned her delicate and beautiful brows and asked stubbornly.

Ji Muhan leisurely raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on her face. He looked at her calmly for a while before uttering a single word, "You."

Mo Xiaoqing smiled radiantly, her eyes fixed on him with a smile that grew even more intense, giving him the illusion that she was about to pounce on him at any moment…

Ji Muhan raised her eyes indifferently, her gaze involuntarily shifting slightly as she looked at the girl's smug smile. Her expression became somewhat subtle as she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Happy now?"

She always seemed to be like that, her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness all written on her face, so obviously that you could see right through her thoughts at a glance. In the end, she was still just a little girl who was not even eighteen years old...

"You have good taste." Mo Xiaoqing nodded proudly, but she couldn't hide the smugness and smile in her eyes.

"Go to sleep." Ji Muhan tossed the coat in his hand onto her, his eyes deep, and his thin lips uttered two words without wasting any words.

Tsk tsk.

The little girl's temper is really easy to appease.

When she's unhappy, she gets all huffy and puffy, but if you just say a few words to coax her, she'll beam with a smile like a flower.

"Mmm." Mo Xiaoqing got the answer she wanted, nodded smugly, buried her head in his coat, sniffed it, and felt particularly at ease when she smelled the faint tobacco scent on the coat.

He soothed my slightly agitated mood with ease.

He stopped talking.

She's in a good mood right now and can't be bothered with that mad dog that keeps biting people.

Just thinking about her ruins my good mood.

"Hanhan, I'll just lean on you for a bit." Mo Xiaoqing immediately took advantage of the situation and sat down next to him, resting her head on his shoulder without any hesitation.

Ji Muhan's gaze turned cold. Seeing that the little girl was pushing her luck again, the warning in her eyes was very obvious. She called her name word by word, "Mo Xiaoqing".

"Yes," Mo Xiaoqing responded slowly, her soft, sweet voice as pleasant as ever.

Ji Muhan said calmly, "Be self-aware."

"Hanhan, you've already lent me your clothes to cover myself with, why not be even more kind and let me sleep next to you!" Mo Xiaoqing blinked innocently, shamelessly continuing to slander Gao Xiaoxiao in front of Ji Muhan, "Look, that Miss Gao is so fierce, and she likes to bite people for no reason. If I sleep with her, she'll gnaw me to pieces, leaving not even bone fragments."

"..." Ji Muhan scoffed at her words.

He didn't think she would be at a disadvantage by putting them together. The girl looked harmless, but she was actually full of bad intentions. Even... had suffered at her hands.

Nobody would believe that she would be devoured by that idiot this afternoon, leaving not even bones.

On the contrary, she practically devoured them, leaving not even bones behind...
