During that incident, Mo Shu's hand was just inches away from Xia Xin, close enough to touch her with a single step. And yet, it was Jing Mo who made that crucial step ahead of him.
Mo Shu lifted his hand and stared at his empty palm, emotions tangled in a complex web. For some reason, he felt that this one step symbolized an insurmountable distance between him and Xia Xin. He couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts, 'What was this inexplicable heaviness in my chest? I'd never felt this way before, and the unsettling feeling refused to dissipate.'
As Jing Mo carried Xia Xin away, Mo Shu found himself compelled to ask Zhang Chao, "What's the relationship between Xia Xin and Jing Mo?"
Zhang Chao answered nonchalantly, "Who knows? They're probably just good friends, considering both are artists under Sun Hu's management."
