Si Song blinked, without speaking, unsure of what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, Si Song suddenly said, "What does King Wei think of Yiren... cough cough..."
At this point, Si Song began to cough violently again.
Before Chen Mo could speak, Nalan Yiren, who had been observing outside, noticed the Great Elder coughing violently and hurried into the room to check on him.

After leaving the house Si Song rented, Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren walked down the street together.
Both of them remained silent.
It was Chen Mo who first broke the silence: "Is Mr. Si alright?"
"Not very good." Nalan Yiren shook her head.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Chen Mo looked at her previously scratched hand and said, "How's your hand?"
Nalan Yiren didn't speak but simply raised her palm for Chen Mo to see.
The scabbed wounds had already shed, leaving only faint traces of injury, which would likely disappear by evening.
