Xu Chaomu couldn't come up with a reason again; how was it different...
In essence, both were deceit, just that the methods of deception varied.
"Alright."
Shen Chi rose from his seat, bent down to pick up the orange that had fallen to the floor, placed it on the table, and then patted her head.
"Don't consider anyone a good person, except for me," Shen Chi said with a hook of his lips.
Xu Chaomu removed his hand: "Nie Chenglang and his mother aren't particularly close; he just didn't want me to overthink, that's why he hid his background from me."
"If that's what you want to think, then think like that," Shen Chi said indifferently, "Be good, I have to go."
Xu Chaomu also stood up, her large eyes watching him: "Are you sure you don't want me to see you off?"
"It's getting late; dress warmly, stay at home, no need to see me off, alright?"
"Oh," Xu Chaomu nodded her head.
She still couldn't bear to let him go, unsure of how many days he would be away.
