Mo Zixi witnessed the way that Mo Zichen spoke to Little Eggshell, so he couldn't help but ask, "Zichen...do you not like Little Eggshell?"
This was the second time that Mo Zixi asked this question. The first time he asked, Mo Zichen told him that he didn't dislike her.
But, this time, he was caught in the act. Could he still deny it?
In the end, Mo Zichen nodded his head, "She's a little annoying..."
Although Mo Zixi was a little disappointed, he was determined to support his brother, so he replied, "OK, if you don't like her, then I don't like her either..."
Mo Zichen looked at Mo Zixi. Although he was meant to be the younger brother, he patted his older brother on the head with approval.
He was relieved.

After returning home, Little Eggshell broke down in tears. But, she was no longer close to Su Youran and Nangong Quan; she was only close to her great-grandfather.
