"Is it simply about severing all emotions and desires?"
Mo Shisheng's words gave Bei Rao a vague sense of unease, and her expression became serious. "Shisheng, you must not do anything foolish."
Bei Rao's tone was somewhat anxious, and she tightened her grip on Mo Shisheng's wrist, "You're my only daughter, please don't do anything foolish."
"Mother, you can't make demands of me until you've fully recovered."
In response to Bei Rao's words, Mo Shisheng simply smiled and did not give a direct answer. She stood up from the bedside and withdrew her hand, saying, "You rest first, I'm going out for a bit."
"no!"
Mo Shisheng's actions provoked an even stronger reaction from Bei Rao, who was about to get off the bed. Seeing this, Mo Shisheng had no choice but to reach out and support Bei Rao.
Stopping Bei Rao from getting out of bed, Mo Shisheng's tone became more serious, "Don't you care about your health at all?"
"Shi Sheng, they want you dead! Can't you just listen to me and stay by my side even once?"
Bei Rao's tone was almost desperate, her voice hoarse, "You know perfectly well what they're thinking. Your life is in danger this time. Can you really bear to let me live in fear?"
“Mother, what is bound to happen will happen sooner or later; I cannot hide from it.”
Faced with Bei Rao's agitated tone, Mo Shisheng simply reached out and gently patted her back to soothe her emotions, "How could I feel good after seeing you get all injured because of me?"
"Can……"
"If you promise me you'll take good care of yourself, I'll definitely come back, okay?"
Mo Shisheng tilted her head slightly and said softly, "Mother, you know I'm very worried about you. Please don't distract me, okay?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng's tone was very soft, but it carried a strange meaning in Bei Rao's ears, which gave Bei Rao a bad feeling.
These words sounded like a farewell before parting, a feeling that made Bei Rao feel particularly uncomfortable.
After noticing that Bei Rao's mood had improved, Mo Shisheng straightened up slightly. "I'll come see you again later, okay?"
"real?"
Upon hearing Mo Shisheng say that he could come to see her again that evening, Bei Rao's face instantly lit up with surprise. "If you go out now, Bei Chen won't do anything to you, will he?"
"What can he do to me? Don't worry, I'll protect myself."
Mo Shisheng chuckled, gave Bei Rao a few more instructions, called Qing Luan into the room, and then pushed open the door and walked out.
Bei Chen had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Mo Shisheng come out, he immediately straightened up from leaning against the door frame and glanced at Mo Shisheng from top to bottom. "What did you say to her?"
"Are you curious?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng gently raised her eyes, meeting Bei Chen's probing gaze. "Are you that concerned about Mother's affairs?"
What do you know?
Mo Shisheng's tone made Bei Chen feel as if he had been completely seen through, which made him very uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and said, "Her injuries haven't healed yet, so you should spend more time with her these days."
"Aren't you in a hurry for me to die?"
Mo Shisheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the stale air. "Your mother is your half-sister. Don't you feel anything strange about loving her?"
"..."
To everyone's surprise, Mo Shisheng's words drew a sneer from Bei Chen, as if he had heard a joke.
