Meeting at Chunjiang Restaurant 5

"Why would you say that?" Si Jin asked.

Qi Qingyao said confidently, "He seldom shows up right in front of Pei Fengtang. Even if he does, he doesn't say a word. He went out with me and Lu Yan today. Throughout the entire journey, apart from a few times, he only whispered in a low voice. When we went to Chunjiang Restaurant for a meal, I made him sit next to Lu Yan; Lu Yan even asked if he's mute. Someone who bickers with me all the time actually did not even say a word!!"

Si Jin thought for a while and questioned, "So he's afraid of speaking and being recognized by Lu Yan?"

"That's right," Qi Qingyao said calmly. "If a person doesn't want to be recognized, wearing a mask is indeed a good idea. But it's hard to fake a voice! When speaking, the timbre, pitch, and tone of the voice can easily expose a person."
