"He probably will," Ye Jingzhe murmured, the words escaping him.
Si Mingjing looked down, curiously asking the child, "What will?"
Ye Jingzhe, however, did not respond. He adopted a reticent demeanor, unwilling to let others pry into his thoughts.
Si Lisao had taught him that to become a formidable person, one must first learn to hide one's emotions. Otherwise, if people could easily see through him, he wouldn't be able to command respect or effectively manage situations.
Si Mingjing reached out, ruffling his hair with a tender gesture. "How did you and Little Shurong become such good pals? Your personalities are completely opposite."
Ye Jingzhe remained silent.
Mo Yinhe said, "Maybe it's because their characters complement each other. One loves to be boisterous, the other loves quietude. Such contrasting personalities either clash like fire and water, or they cherish each other dearly."
