I didn't want to hide it from him. When I was in Syria, I just didn’t want him to worry about me, and now I just didn’t bother to mention it, because the Mo Yuanlian I knew was very different from the one he knew.
If I said Mo Yuanlian was not dangerous, he would certainly care about it.
It would make him think I was speaking for Mo Yuanlian.
I was sure he would be in a bad mood.
But now he found out that we'd seen each other...
I tried to pretend to look natural and said, "Yes, I've met him, but I didn't want you to worry about me. Afterwards, I didn't think it's important to mention it. Why are you keeping a straight face?"
Xi Zhan's eyes were cold. He heard my perfunctory explanation and did not ask again, but just reminded me in a light tone, "No matter what Mo Yuanlian told you, you'd better not believe it."
I asked strangely, "Why?"
Xi Zhan asked, "What did he say?"
