It wasn't until Shen Yue had finished plucking the two little hens clean that he belatedly realized something:
—'There's something off about the logic of what Wei Heng just said.'
'Gu Xi was mulling over his situation, so she took Da Hong for a stroll in the mountains? What was the cause-and-effect relationship between those two things?'
That was what Shen Yue was thinking, and it was also what he asked.
Wei Heng, who had just put the sweet potato vermicelli into a bowl of water to soak, glanced at him. "You're overthinking things. Gu Xi took Da Hong into the mountains to look for mushrooms to put in the chicken soup."
As for mulling over your situation, that was just something she did on the side.
'Stop with the self-important humblebragging.'
Shen Yue was speechless. "..."
