Zhang He is no fool; he can understand the meaning behind Chen Mo's words.
"Brother Mo, this..."
Zhang He wanted to say something, but Chen Mo interrupted him directly, "Don't tell me, I don't want to know."
Zhang He hardened his heart. Since it's done, there's no turning back: "Brother Mo, not even a day has passed yet. You wait here, I'll be right back."
"I didn't say anything," Chen Mo said coolly.
"I... understand."
Zhang He left.
When it was getting dark, Zhang He came again.
Chen Mo didn't pay attention to him and continued practicing his sword by himself.

Zhang He walked up to Chen Mo, wanting to say something, but the latter spoke first, "As I said, don't tell me, I don't want to know."
Zhang He's heart sank, thinking Brother Mo was still not satisfied.
But Chen Mo's next words set him at ease.
"Have you eaten?" Chen Mo asked.
"No...not yet."
"Then stay and eat with us."
