“We’ve already calmed things down, so please don’t bother us anymore,” Moxi said, putting down his teacup and looking at him calmly.
"I've been looking for her for two years, and you're telling me not to bother you? Are you kidding me?" Xiao Mo laughed instead of getting angry. Now that he had found her, he was determined to bring her back to his side, absolutely...
He doesn't have the magnanimity to just hand her over to someone else.
Rong Ning swallowed hard; the atmosphere between them was incredibly awkward…
"How about this, fair competition?" Rong Ning suggested.
"What's mine is mine, what does it have to do with him? You want him to give Manman another mental illness and then ask me to treat her? Aren't you dreaming?" Mo Xi rolled her eyes at him. It's not even night yet, why is he already dreaming?
"What do you mean 'yours'? She's loved me for so many years."
"Ha, so you know she loved you for so many years. After she got married, I immediately disappeared from her side. I thought she loved you, and I respected her, so I left. Do you know how happy I was when I heard the news of her divorce? But I never expected that she would develop paranoia. I even wanted to kill you back then." Mo Xi's sarcastic remarks made Xiao Mo's face even more unpleasant.
Moxi suddenly smiled and whispered in his ear, "By the way, I should tell you something. She loves you, but you probably don't know why it started out, do you?"
"There's another reason?" Rong Ning was also puzzled. There didn't seem to be any reason why Shu Manbai liked Xiao Mo...
“Yes, of course I do,” Moxi leaned against the table and laughed. “Because you look a lot like someone else. He’s really good-looking, especially your eyes. They’re so alike. Manman said she can see stars in that person’s eyes.”
To say he resembles someone else? To say he's a substitute? This made Xiao Mo, who had been a prodigy since childhood, feel frustrated. For the first time, truly the first time, someone had treated him as a substitute.
“Xiao Mo and Shu Manbai have known each other since childhood, so how could Xiao Mo not know the person you’re talking about?” Rong Ning thought it was a bit far-fetched.
Xiao Mo thought about it again and realized that it was true. He was no longer in control of this matter and was easily swayed by others.
"Then are you aware of my existence?" Moxi sneered. "Ask yourself, did you see Manman often when you were little? Let me think, it seems you started seeing her regularly around the time she was sixteen."
Xiao Mo didn't speak, but Rong Ning knew that Feng Yuanche was right.
“She went through a period of depression when she was sixteen because of that person,” Moxi sighed.
"You were rejected after confessing your feelings?" Rong Ning asked.
Moxi glanced at him and shook his head: "No, because he's dead."
Xiao Mo was even more dissatisfied now; was he a substitute for a dead person?
"Dead? How old was he to die?"
"Not long, eighteen. It was exactly the day he came of age. He was already sick, and then something else happened, and he passed away. He died young." Moxi showed no regret whatsoever.
They all fell silent. Moxi pointed to the door: "Is there anything else? If not, you can leave. She's about to eat."
"You live here?" Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes.
Moxi looked towards the door: "I didn't live here before, but you found her, so I've decided to stay. She won't refuse." Moxi gave a smug smile.
"You dare!" Who could accept that!
