Rong Mochen squinted, slowly taking his hand down from her head, silently staring at her, waiting for her answer.
"Today I met someone I used to know before. Seeing me alive made him too excited, so he didn't control his strength while holding my wrist, leaving a mark," Jin Jumo said calmly, her tone unwavering.
Rong Mochen lightly furrowed his brows, "Someone you used to know?"
Jin Jumo arched her brows, "Mhm."
Rong Mochen stared at her radiant, beautiful face, his long fingers instinctively reaching out, his harsh voice softening, "Who did you used to know?"
Jin Jumo gazed into his eyes, "You don't know him."
"Since I don't know him, why did you lie when I first asked?" Rong Mochen said in a low voice.
"To save energy," Jin Jumo admitted candidly.
Rong Mochen's brow slightly chilled, "Is talking to me exhausting?"
Jin Jumo laughed, "Mhm, you're too clever. I'm always worried that saying too much will let you manipulate me, so it's better to save my energy and not speak."
