_{As for Shen Zhuoyun, in Mo Nian’s eyes, compared to Qin Mo, that boy was at the opposite end of the two extremes. Even if he was carefree and easygoing before Qin Mo and freely expressed all sorts of emotions under the sun, when that heart of his was opened, nothing but darkness lay inside.}
That frosty air common in Qin Mo seemed to be a natural trait of the household called Qin.

As for Shen Zhuoyun, in Mo Nian’s eyes, compared to Qin Mo, that boy was at the opposite end of the two extremes. Even if he was carefree and easygoing before Qin Mo and freely expressed all sorts of emotions under the sun, when that heart of his was opened, nothing but darkness lay inside. It was devoid of all light, devoid of all warmth, emitting the stench of decay from beneath his decent-looking skin. What’s more, there was that possessive streak of his that seemed all-consuming. So much so, it couldn’t be suppressed at all when he was in front of Qin Mo.

_{Qin Zhen was born with a love of business, but her mother was an aloof scholar who had always looked down on her younger brother and cared little for her daughter's business aspirations. Nevertheless, she was also one who believed in democracy, so she never hindered her daughter’s dreams.}After a while, Shen Zhuoyun had to leave to deliver the medical records to Yang Fanghong, doing so after finishing washing the clothes. After wringing his clothes dry, Qin Mo was getting ready to leave with the basin in his arms when a soft voice sounded behind him.

Qin Zhen was born with a love of business, but her mother was an aloof scholar who had always looked down on her younger brother and cared little for her daughter's business aspirations. Nevertheless, she was also one who believed in democracy, so she never hindered her daughter’s dreams. Thus, her only recourse was the utilisation of cold-shoulder tactics. Hence, her daughter was disagreed with, unappreciated, unsupported, and ultimately ignored.

_{{“Tsk. Having good looks really is a blessing, isn’t it? Once the ladder you climb is Shen Zhuoyun, you can even get out of training.”}}After he was done, Qin Mo tapped on Shen Zhouyun’s shoulder and gestured to him an “ok”. Seeing this, Shen Zhuoyun washed the clothes with even more vigour.

“Tsk. Having good looks really is a blessing, isn’t it? Once the ladder you climb is Shen Zhuoyun, you can even get out of training.”

_{Mo Nian couldn’t understand this for the life of her, but she also never asked for it to be explained.}“Tsk. Having good looks really is a blessing, isn’t it? Once the ladder you climb is Shen Zhuoyun, you can even get out of training.”

Mo Nian couldn’t understand this for the life of her, but she also never asked for it to be explained.

_{“Hey, you can take a break now. I’ll help you clean the rest.” Shen Zhuoyun leaned over Qin Mo and snatched away the plastic basin and the clothes, scrubbing them between his hands vigorously.}Since that day, when she burst into tears in the infirmary, Mo Nian had become a frequent visitor. But it was not on purpose, like Shen Qing, who ran there every chance she got. Instead, her reason was due to the environment of this place she was thrυst into—a place that exemplifies the principle of the strong ruling over the weak. The meek are to be bullied; the willing horses get laden with all the load. Thus, the introverted Mo Nian, whether willingly or not, constantly found herself on the receiving end of the ire of both her instructors and dorm leaders. Even the other girls in her section would give her the cold shoulder and administer light levels of emotional abuse.

_{Honestly, it was worth serious consideration. How he would deal with such a problematic father-son relationship had officially become something Qin Mo had to solve.}
Grandpa Qin, an old professor who had devoted his life to cryptography, was a man well known for his temper, and as such, the only ones who could tolerate his short fuse were his old friends engaging in academic exchanges. But Qin Mo and Qin Zhen were odd in this regard, because despite keeping a distance from others, both remained polite while doing what they loved. Even so, due to matters of his upbringing, Qin Mo could be considered more withdrawn than his cousin. It wasn’t because he thought other people were bad; it was just his ignorance on how to get along with others, along with a bit of deep-seated resistance to getting too close to others that lay at the bottom of his heart.

Honestly, it was worth serious consideration. How he would deal with such a problematic father-son relationship had officially become something Qin Mo had to solve.

_{Like this, Qin Mo always felt sorry for the girl when she arrived, so he always tried to find less obvious ways to make her stay longer. The two never spoke during these moments.}Shen Zhuoyun was Qin Mo’s backer. As such, the girls found such news a worthy topic of gossip.

Like this, Qin Mo always felt sorry for the girl when she arrived, so he always tried to find less obvious ways to make her stay longer. The two never spoke during these moments. Mo Nian would only watch quietly as he completed his chores, from orgаnising the medicine in the glass cabinet to wiping everything clean. She looked on as he soaked the bluish-grey cloth in cold water and repeatedly washed it until he thought it was clean, then he proceeded to wipe the table and windowsill vigorously, even as the streaks of water were left to dry naturally.

With such a personality, meeting someone as shameless as Shen Zhuoyun was completely unexpected. Someone as reserved as Mo Nian would be a perfect match to his personality.

_{But at the same time, another question arose, one Mo Nian did not wish to explore, a certain person who couldn’t help coming over to express his love had arrived.}
That girl was timid, but she was also a chatty person. But after entering that school, she became practically mute. A girl who once chatted away happily now barely spoke apart from a few words to Qin Mo. She said nothing when scolded and nothing when beaten. Her unnatural silence was a truly heartbreaking sight.

_{“I can do it myself.” Qin Mo countered, as it was his clothes in the basin.

After this, he would enter the bathroom to pull out a mouldy broom and a mop barely clinging to life to take care of the floor.

_{Qin Mo tried to snatch the basin away, but Shen Zhuoyun was unwilling.

But Qin Mo and Qin Zhen were odd in this regard, because despite keeping a distance from others, both remained polite while doing what they loved. Even so, due to matters of his upbringing, Qin Mo could be considered more withdrawn than his cousin. It wasn’t because he thought other people were bad; it was just his ignorance on how to get along with others, along with a bit of deep-seated resistance to getting too close to others that lay at the bottom of his heart.
