"What's with that expression? You can't possibly think that their conflict is your fault?" Xia Mo said, looking skeptically at Shen Lan. Someone like Shen would surely not have such a strange train of thought.
Being seen through by Xia Mo only increased Shen Lan's discomfort: "Yes, I suddenly remembered who Qi Xuan is. He harassed me during college, but I never directly rejected him, I just kept ignoring him until I eventually forgot about him."
"That's also not your fault," Xia Mo answered decisively, "Whatever you did back then, it has nothing to do with today's events. You are the victim, no matter what."
Hearing Xia Mo's words, Shen Lan felt much better. She always felt she had been treated unfairly in this situation. Today, Guan Xiaoxiao huffed at her and scolded her which added to her discomfort.
"Thank you, Xia Mo. This crazy couple has me questioning myself. The events of the past few days have been terrible."
