Mo Ying took Lin Xu away and back to their home.
Letting go of her, he said, "You don't need to explain much to them. Even if they choose to listen or not, that's their business."
His words made her relax for a moment. She smiled faintly and shook her head. "Let's just focus on getting things ready… tomorrow I'll call Carpenter Gu to make a tall shelf to store food and other things."
Mo Ying nodded. Just as Lin Xu turned to go back inside, her body swayed. A wave of dizziness hit her, and she almost fell.
Mo Ying quickly caught her by the arm, his brows furrowing. "What's wrong with you? Did you even eat today?"
Lin Xu steadied herself and muttered, "I… I only ate at noon."
His expression darkened, his tone sharp. "Are you stupid? Running around, worrying about the whole village, and you can't even take care of yourself?"
Lin Xu frowned at his rudeness but didn't argue.
