Both won were completely dumbfounded.
Ran Qingchen started to feel an itch on her scalp, her mind felt as if it was flying away, and she asked in confusion, "If you guessed wrong, why did Mr. Cheng still answer your question?"
"Yeah, right, could it be that Mr. Cheng was just being nice?"
Li Nanshuang followed up with the question.
Jiang Shouzhong looked up at the bright moonlight and replied, "What the answer is, isn’t important. What’s important is that you need to guess wrong. Only if you guess wrong will he answer your question."
"What does that an?"
Li Nanshuang was completely lost.
Ran Qingchen, on the other hand, began to sense sothing and tasted the implication: "For a craftsman like him, what matters most is whether others can detect the flaws in his work. If you answer correctly, it ans that the mask he made isn’t very good and was easily seen through. For him, that would undoubtedly be the worst blow."
Jiang Shouzhong nodded with a smile, "That’s about right. One’s personality is actually quite easy to discern at the very beginning of a eting.
He revealed my true identity and went out of his way to tell the origin of the mask on my face, which is a bit of a boast. Such a person cares most about his work. Even if I had figured it out, I would have intentionally answered incorrectly."
Li Nanshuang slapped her forehead and said helplessly, "This is really exhausting."
The young girl suddenly asked again, "But what if you accidentally guessed it right?"
"I wouldn’t, because I know how many masks he is wearing on his face."
Jiang Shouzhong said, shaking his head gently.
"You know?"
The two won were stunned once more.
"Yes, because he isn’t wearing a disguise mask at all."
"..."
The two won didn’t know what to say, their minds were foggy.
Jiang Shouzhong didn’t keep them in suspense any longer and said with a smile:
"From the mont we entered the house, he was making a mask. To us, that mask seed perfect, but he was still not satisfied and destroyed it. This shows that the person at heart is a perfectionist.
If he pursues perfection, then he will surely also be dissatisfied with the disguise masks he makes for himself. He’d always be thinking about creating the most perfect disguise mask in the world for himself. Over ti, he stopped bothering to wear these ’imperfections.’
Moreover, the first question he asked had a touch of seeing through the mundane world. A person with that mindset would care more about their ’true self,’ so I think he wasn’t wearing a disguise mask at all."
With Jiang Shouzhong’s explanation, the two won finally understood.
Ran Qingchen said with a wry smile, "I’m starting to feel so sympathy for those who try to deal with you in secret. No matter how deep the rats hide, you manage to pull them out."
Li Nanshuang nodded her head in agreent.
...
Returning to the small courtyard, Jiang Shouzhong prepared to rest and rejuvenate himself.
Ran Qingchen offhandedly said, "Jiang Mo, why don’t we find an inn to stay in? It seems like we’re disturbing Wen Er and Nan Shuang."
"No need, last night I slept with Qingchen, we can squeeze in. It’s manageable."
Li Nanshuang said.
"What!?"
Ran Qingchen raised her voice incredulously, "You slept with Jiang Mo last night!?"
Li Nanshuang gave her a look as if it was no big deal: "It’s quite normal. My uncle’s house is too small to accommodate everyone, so he had to stay in my room."
"On the sa bed?"
"Yep, that’s right."
Ran Qingchen felt like she was going to faint.
Her husband had been used by another woman again, and was no longer clean.
Jiang Shouzhong tily explained, "We just squeezed onto one bed, we didn’t do anything."
Upon hearing this, Ran Qingchen finally let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness she arrived in ti, otherwise, Li Nanshuang might have taken him away to ’practice her skills.’
"Tonight, I’m sleeping in this room too!"
Ran Qingchen clenched her fists.
If needs be, three people would squeeze onto one bed. Close supervision was the most effective thod.
