211th Break: Type

Anhe Province, Pingjing City.

"When do you plan to test Shen Ru?" Bai Jing asked Lin Ze as they listened to the music in the pavilion while they drink tea.

"Later this afternoon." Lin Zhe answered.

"Why?" Bai Jing asked. Then, suddenly, he recalled something. "You didn't go and test her last night." He said.

"I don't want to alert the snake*." Lin Ze answered. "If she is really hiding something, then she might notice that I am suspecting her. She will then leave Anhe and hide." He explained.

*'shake the grass and startle the snake' – acting prematurely and being noticed by the enemy

"And if she is innocent?" Bai Jing asked.

"Then I am not going to her so that she won't be irritated by my face." Lin Ze answered.

Bai Jing stared at him. "You just don't want the other to notice that you have a suspicion of her so you didn't go to her since you don't want to offend her in case you were wrong about your guess." He said.
