Nan Xiao walked to Mo Shisheng's side and gently squatted down, watching Mo Shisheng clean the rabbit.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, with no one intending to speak first.
In the end, it was Nanxiao who broke the awkward silence by speaking first.
A pleasant chuckle escaped from his lips. "You have something to say to me."
This is not a question, but a statement, and it is said with certainty.
Mo Shisheng gently submerged the cleaned rabbit in the water, then lifted it out. Water droplets dripped from the rabbit onto the lake surface, making a "ding-dong" sound.
Nan Xiao wasn't in a hurry for Mo Shisheng's answer. She just quietly stayed by Mo Shisheng's side, watching how Mo Shisheng handled the wild rabbit. Her methods were completely different from those of her pampered older sister in her boudoir, and she found Mo Shisheng even more interesting.
Finally, Mo Shisheng stood up, patted the dust off the hem of her skirt, and said slowly, "I do have something to say to you."
"I'm all ears."
Nan Xiao always had a faint smile on her lips, which didn't make her seem frivolous. On the contrary, it made people feel very comfortable and at ease being around her.
Mo Shisheng tilted her head slightly and went straight to the point, asking, "Did you see my face today?"
"I saw it, yet I didn't see it."
Nan Xiao answered softly, "Which one do you prefer?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng frowned and remained silent for a moment, then understood Nan Xiao's meaning and nodded slightly, "Then thank you in advance."
"Need not."
Nan Xiao didn't know what had happened to Mo Shisheng, but he had indeed seen Mo Shisheng's face. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it was enough for him to remember it clearly.
Seeing that Mo Shisheng always wore a mask, Nan Xiao understood that everyone had their own reasons, and he was not one to meddle, so he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to tell anyone about Mo Shisheng.
He will keep what he saw today to himself.
That's how it is when you talk to a smart person; you don't need to say much to understand what they mean.
Mo Shisheng carried the rabbit and walked forward, but found Nan Xiao still standing there. She stopped and turned to Nan Xiao, saying, "Aren't you coming over? Are you trying to slack off?"
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, a smile appeared on Nan Xiao's gentle face. He stepped to Mo Shisheng's side, lowered his eyes to meet those peach blossom eyes that seemed to be talking, and said, "Of course not."
"Let's hurry up, I'm a little hungry."
Mo Shisheng nodded, picked up the rabbit, and quickened her pace toward Qingluan.
Qingluan had already piled up the firewood and started the fire. Mo Shisheng took out two thin osmanthus tree trunks from her storage ring. They had already been cleaned, so she could simply thread them through the rabbit and place it on the fire to roast.
Seeing the osmanthus tree trunk that Mo Shisheng took out of his storage ring, Qingluan and Nanxiao were stunned again. Finally, Qingluan couldn't help but ask, "Yan'er, when did you put this osmanthus tree trunk in there?"
"Doesn't the academy have many osmanthus trees? There's one that's very tall; I can 'touch' it if I open the window and stretch out my hand." Mo Shisheng said dismissively, "I thought I would hunt a lot of wild game here in Cloud Mist Ridge, so I prepared a lot of osmanthus tree trunks to roast meat."
"..." Qingluan's lips twitched slightly: "Yan'er, aren't you afraid of trials? Cloud Mist Ridge is notoriously dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng suddenly looked at the roasted rabbit and fell into deep thought.
