Mo Cheng thrust both his hands skyward in exasperation at seeing her disbelief. "Yes. He's an evil trickster, a deceiver." he earnestly explained, drawing in a deep breath. "When I saw him the first time, I didn't recognize him, but afterwards, I remembered his identity. You've been siding with the wrong person in this story."
Li Meirong thought many things of Mo Cheng, but she had never considered the notion that he might be a lunatic too. The earnestness with which he spoke began to make her reconsider the possibility. She looked at him as though he had grown a second head.
She then noticed out of the corner of her eye the way Shu Qianqian kept her eyes occupied on the table surface. Her cheeks were slightly reddened in embarrassment, as if she was used to this kind of talk.
