Tang Yuanxiao looked at Su Li's expression. Although she didn't say anything, he could tell she was the one behind it all. Instead of being upset, he felt a sense of relief.
Seeing that Su Li didn't want to talk, he didn't press her. He simply said,
"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. As long as you're not hurt. It's... it's good that you can protect yourself."
After speaking, Tang Yuanxiao walked straight to the kitchen. Su Li watched his back, and two questions flashed through her mind again.
'Why didn't Tang Yuanxiao fall for the villagers' story and misunderstand me? Why did he trust that I wouldn't act so predictably?'
Su Li couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped forward, blocking Tang Yuanxiao as he came out with a bucket of water, and asked him directly.
"Tang Yuanxiao, why do you believe me? They sounded so convinced."
