Hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Li Ji finally felt a lot relieved. She leaned against the bed, her breathing was very weak, and her face was pale. She would not recover for a while.
It was clear that Mo Shisheng was very angry. Li Ji frowned slightly. "Shisheng...I..."
"Shut up, you have no right to speak now."
Mo Shisheng coldly interrupted Li Ji, his gaze falling on her pale face, and he couldn't help but soften a little.
She tucked Liji in, got up, poured herself another glass of warm water, and sat down on the bed. This time, she held the glass to Liji's lips and said, "Drink some water first, and I'll settle the score with you later."
"……oh……"
Li Ji knew Mo Shisheng's temper well. If she said she would settle accounts, then there was no way she could be afraid of losing money. So Li Ji couldn't help but pout, her eyes full of guilt, and obediently drank the water that Mo Shisheng fed her.
She deliberately drank water very slowly, and Mo Shisheng naturally noticed, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he quietly waited for Li Ji to finish drinking.
After the glass of water was empty, Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow slightly, "Want some more?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Li Ji pursed her lips guiltily, "I'd better not drink it..."
"Are you full?"
Mo Shisheng spoke softly, glanced at Li Ji, and placed the water glass on the cabinet next to her.
Actually, Mo Shisheng put the cup down with neither too much force nor too little, but the cup made a sound when it hit the cabinet.
Li Ji was so startled that she couldn't help but tremble slightly. Mo Shisheng naturally took this in, and with a slight smile, he teased, "Weren't you just so excited that you were willing to risk your life? Now you're scared by the sound of a cup being placed down?"
Heh...hehe..."
Mo Shisheng's words elicited an awkward laugh from Li Ji. She gently tugged at the corner of her lips, "I'm just shivering from the cold, um... I'm just cold..."
"..."
Li Ji's words drew a cold laugh from Mo Shisheng, "Should I remind you that it's summer? You're still covered with a blanket."
Li Ji: "..."
The stage was demolished; it's so heartbreaking. What can we do?
An awkward silence fell over the room. Li Ji didn't know what to say to appease Mo Shisheng, so she reached out and gently poked Mo Shisheng's hand. "Shisheng, don't be angry. I promise, it won't happen again!"
Li Ji's assurance was met with a cold look from Mo Shisheng, but Li Ji responded even more sincerely, raising her hand to her head and declaring, "I swear!"
"It's no use even if you send five."
Mo Shisheng glanced at Li Ji, then raised her hand to wipe the sweat from Li Ji's forehead. "Tell me, why are you so afraid that Ming Qiancheng will come to see you?"
"..."
Perhaps not expecting Mo Shisheng to bring up this topic again, Li Ji suddenly fell silent. She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the blanket in front of her. "I..."
"You know I only listen to the truth. You can choose not to tell me, and I won't press you any further."
Seeing that Li Ji seemed to be about to make up an excuse, Mo Shisheng spoke first.
Mo Shisheng wasn't really one to press for answers, but Li Ji's behavior was rather suspicious, especially her resistance to mentioning Ming Qiancheng.
This made Mo Shisheng quite puzzled.
So this time, Mo Shisheng did not compromise. She was determined to find out the reason, and she would not accept any fabricated excuse. Otherwise, she would not help Li Ji with this favor.
