Mo Shisheng's lips curled slightly. "Let's begin."
"yes."
Because of their body aches, Ji Lin and Lei Ming were much slower than yesterday, and they ended up running at the same pace as Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao.
Mo Shisheng ran alongside Shangguan Xuan, quickly leaving the four people behind by a considerable distance.
The surroundings were silent. Shangguan Xuan turned his head and glanced at the girl's fair face. He was standing to Mo Shisheng's left and could clearly see the little bit of crimson under her eye.
Evil and alluring.
"Your sixteenth birthday is in a few days. Have you thought about how you're going to celebrate?" Shangguan Xuan asked casually, but he held his breath slightly, not wanting to miss a single word of Mo Shisheng's answer.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng was momentarily surprised. Her birthday?
Thinking back to the 25th century, she was abducted to the Special Agents Association. She had no idea about her parents or even what year she was born.
And just recently, Shangguan Leiting had reminded her that her birthday was approaching. At that time, Shangguan Leiting looked kind and caring. If it weren't for those subsequent events that shattered that facade and revealed his ugly face, the Shangguan family would probably still be doing well now.
When Mo Shisheng was lost in thought, Shangguan Xuan didn't disturb her. He quietly stayed by her side, and the two of them kept running without slowing down.
As the sun slowly rose high in the sky, its rays were blinding, and Mo Shisheng suddenly snapped back to reality.
She said softly, "It's just a birthday, it doesn't make any difference whether I celebrate it or not."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuan pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.
Running under the scorching sun in the hot summer is the most unbearable thing; you'll be covered in sweat in no time.
Mo Shisheng took out a water bottle from her storage ring, took a few sips, and her lips were wet with water, leaving a glistening layer.
Since the topic had become somewhat unsatisfactory, Shangguan Xuan had not spoken again, and the atmosphere had become much quieter.
Mo Shisheng seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke, "I have no memories of anything before I was six years old. Shangguan Xuan, do you remember what my mother looked like?"
"..."
Seemingly surprised that Mo Shisheng would suddenly ask him, Shangguan Xuan paused for a second before quickly regaining his senses. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I have only seen her back, I do not know what she looks like."
"Is that so?"
Mo Shisheng murmured, "That's true. Shangguan Leiting hates her mother so much, he wouldn't let her set foot in the Shangguan mansion at all."
It's perfectly normal that Shangguan Xuan had never met him.
After a long while, when Shangguan Xuan looked at Mo Shisheng, he noticed that there was not a trace of disappointment in her expression. Only then did Shangguan Xuan ask gently, "Aren't you sad?"
Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile curving her lips. "Why should I be sad?"
"The grudges of the previous generation should not fall on your shoulders." Shangguan Xuan didn't know how to answer Mo Shisheng's question, but he knew from the beginning that Mo Shisheng was not of the Shangguan family bloodline, and he had hidden the truth from Mo Shisheng.
It's already rare enough that Mo Shisheng can speak to him calmly these days, yet he still wants more...
"Right and wrong have cause and effect."
Mo Shisheng said calmly, her delicate and fair face showing no sign of unease, "The grudges of the previous generation will always linger in the next. Even if you don't want them to, you can't stop them from happening. The only thing you can do is face them. Otherwise, you can't hide forever."
