"You understand what I—"
"What do you understand about me? You're a flesh-and-blood human."
Dania had barely managed a few words before Mo Hei cut her off, speaking even faster.
Mo Hei's accurate prediction took Dania by surprise.
She couldn't understand how he had known what she was thinking so quickly.
Could it be...
Because they were friends?
Wasn't that what friends did—understand each other and have some idea of what was on each other's minds?
