Ji Nuan did not use the restroom; she only wanted to step away from the cold war zone.

She washed her hands and redid her makeup. After around ten minutes, she turned to head out but was startled to see the man outside. He was leaning against the wall as he smoked a cigarette.

The moment she stepped out, she was surrounded by smoke. She faltered in her footsteps and watched the man as he smoked. Unlike other men, Mo Jingshen appeared composed and dependable when he smoked. The scent was not difficult to tolerate, and even carried hints of mint.

She did not understand why he had come here to smoke. The men’s restroom was clearly downstairs. This was the women’s.

She did not move after stepping out, remaining in her position to watch him curiously. The man only glanced at her once. The spark of flame between his fingers flickered, but he did not pause his natural movements for her.

The two remained this way, one watching silently and the other smoking silently. Finally, as Mo Jingshen extinguished the cigarette butt and tossed it aside, Ji Nuan asked: “You never smoked much in the past.”

“En.” The man’s response was mild.

“Did you frequently smoke in the past three years?”

“Occasionally.”

Ji Nuan did not say more. After all, the man’s earlier expression was cold. She had only come to use the bathroom, yet he followed her here. She felt that she wasn’t in any wrong but was also at a loss for words.

The man eyed the restroom behind her: “Is there anyone inside?”

“No.” Earlier, when Ji Nuan was inside, all of the stalls were empty.

The man glanced at her once more and abruptly stood up straight from the wall. Before Ji Nuan could react, he took a heavy step forward. His actions were strangely forceful and caused her to instinctively back away into the restroom.

As the man decisively entered the restroom with her, she stiffened: “This is the women’s…”

Before she could finish her words, the man carelessly closed the door.

Ji Nuan: “…”

The man continued approaching. She watched him strangely, backing away step by step before finally leaning against the sink.

“Mo Jingshen, are you trying to act like a gangster in the women’s restroom?” Ji Nuan placed her hands behind her, keeping it between her waist and the marble counter.

The man did not speak and only watched her. It was as though he was trying to see through her with his forceful gaze and to understand what exactly was going through her mind.

Ji Nuan shifted her head away slightly, speaking unhappily: “Weren’t you angry earlier and waging a cold war with me? What’s going on now?”

“En, I’m not angry anymore.” The man’s tone was mild, yet he did not back away.

Ji Nuan immediately glanced at him: “What do you mean you’re not mad anymore? You got mad for no reason, and now your anger dissipated for no reason…”

“Some emotions tend to be unreasonable, and are indeed difficult to control,” the man spoke. “But staying mad doesn’t seem to hold any benefits for me.”

Ji Nuan’s expression was cold. “You’re indeed a frighteningly composed man. Even at such a time, you have to weigh the costs and benefits.”

“What else can I do? With your current temper, you can’t even coax me. I might not even succeed in my attempt to pull you back. If I try to push you away now, you’ll only run even further.”
