Ji Xiaoge widened her eyes in astonishment: "Why does Teacher Tian know where you are? Your relationship with him should have been tense, right?"
"So naturally, Dabus wouldn't have told Teacher Tian."
Since Dabus remained silent, Motan, having guessed the truth, answered for him. Then, turning to look at the person whose emotions had almost hit rock bottom, he asked softly, "Was it... Teacher Chen?"
Motan wasn't trying to uncover scars through subjective speculation; he was simply giving Dabus a helping hand, knowing that Dabus would eventually blurt it out, by stating what might be the most brutal answer for Dabus. If he got it right, Dabus, who had already decided to pour his heart out, wouldn't have to struggle too much. If he was wrong, at least it wouldn't be the most upsetting thing.
And the result was...
"That's right, I... I only told Teacher Chen about this."
