Liu Zhizhong smiled helplessly and said, "Indeed, I don't know. We move in different circles, and Director Feng doesn't discuss these matters. If the Guide wants someone to blame, I'm helpless; even if you wanted to kill me for it – if I don't know, I simply don't know!"
His words were quite frank, and his expression was on point.
Xiang Wenhua nodded slightly, not pressing the matter any further. He also didn't bring up the topic again, continuing to peel his sunflower seeds.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong knew better than to mention Feng Xiaoyue's husband, as this was a wound in Xiang Wenhua's heart, a sore spot not to be touched.
The wounds of love should really not be mentioned – to do so is to rub salt in the wound, which is very immoral and cruel.
So, Liu Zhizhong silently peeled the seeds, following Xiang Wenhua's example, not eating them himself but feeding the fish instead.
After a while, Xiang Wenhua said, "Do you know why I don't eat sunflower seeds?"
