warmth from his hands.
The sensation of Chi Yu's lips seemed to be imprinted on his fingertips.
Jiang Mo rubbed his fingers in the water, turning them red. His face in the mirror also seemed to grow redder.
"Do you know Senior Chi well?" footsteps sounded, followed by Lu Xuan's voice.
Jiang Mo raised his head and locked eyes with Lu Xuan in the mirror.
Jiang Mo: "Not very well..."
Lu Xuan walked up and stood beside Jiang Mo. He smiled at the reflection of Jiang Mo in the mirror, his voice filled with joy: "It seems like he cares about you."
Jiang Mo avoided the uncomfortable gaze and whispered, "It's... just his care as a senpai."
"Well," Lu Xuan smiled, "he is indeed gentle and considerate. He has always looked after me during the filming."
Jiang Mo: "..."
The production crew wouldn't follow them into the restroom, but is it really appropriate for Lu Xuan to say such things here?
Jiang Mo placed his damp hands under the dryer, and the noise from the machine drowned out most of Lu Xuan's words.
Jiang Mo thought Lu Xuan had come over to emphasize the contents of the text message again, but he didn't expect Lu Xuan to suddenly bring up their interactions with Chi Yu on set.
"Senior is kind to everyone, maybe it's just because we're from the same company. Compared to others, he pays a little more attention to me. I was new to acting, didn't know anything, and he patiently helped me with the script, taught me how to act..."
Jiang Mo nodded, "I... I know."
Lu Xuan: "What do you know?"
Jiang Mo: "He is indeed very nice."
Otherwise, he wouldn't take care of him so frequently, even when everyone else disliked and avoided him.
Lu Xuan: "..."
Jiang Mo's face was still flushed. When he said those words, it seemed like his face reddened because he mentioned Chi Yu's name. His voice was too low, giving a shy impression.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and smiled, "When the company mentioned the idea of pairing us up, he agreed without hesitation."
"Ah?" Jiang Mo put down his hands, and the sound from the dryer slowly ceased.
Seeing Jiang Mo's dazed expression, Lu Xuan didn't feel relieved because of Jiang Mo's obedience. Instead, the knot in his heart tightened.
Was Jiang Mo unaware or pretending to be clueless? Any ordinary person would have understood his intentions by now.
"Will avoiding suspicion work?" Lu Xuan no longer maintained a fake smile and spoke coldly.
Jiang Mo finally realized the purpose of Lu Xuan's conversation with him. It was indeed to emphasize something.
Jiang Mo: "Senior came to talk to me, and... I can't ignore him, right? It would be impolite."
Lu Xuan sneered, "Does Sister Hong's script require you to be polite?"
Jiang Mo: "..."
Lu Xuan: "You just need to make everyone hate you, including Chi Yu."
Jiang Mo clenched his lips tightly and whispered, "But... I don't want him to hate me."
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Do you like him?"
Jiang Mo subconsciously nodded, his face turning red. Then he shook his head frantically, "N-No, not that kind of like..."
