The first time Chu Mo met Xu Mu'an, she deliberately imitated another woman's mannerisms.
She played the part to perfection, but he grew stranger and stranger.
Chu Mo gave up on trying and simply acted like herself.

“No.” Her calm voice pierced his heart.
Xu Mu'an was nearly frantic. “What about me? You left me behind.”
