The situation outside was in fact far from their imagined warmth.
All of it occurred because Bai Youwei, overtaken by her emotions, threw her walking stick at Shen Mo, demanding him to leave. But she didn't hit him and instead, she almost lost her balance and fell. Shen Mo swiftly caught her just in time—
And that was what Tan Xiao saw.
...
When Shen Mo helped Bai Youwei sit on the sofa, he noticed her flushed face and the tears welling up in her eyes. He felt infuriated, but also found it humorous.
"Why are you crying?" he asked, "You cursed me out, and I didn't say a word. What do you have to cry about?"
Bai Youwei turned her face away: "Hmph!"
Shen Mo grabbed a few tissues from the coffee table to wipe her tears.
Bai Youwei immediately slapped his hand away!
"Don't touch me!"
Shen Mo took the hit, there was no blood, but a red mark appeared on his arm.
