The food was served as soon as Ning Ran and Nan Chen arrived at the restaurant.

Ning Ran gobbled down the food, as she was quite hungry.

Seeing that, Nan Chen furrowed his brows. “Are the meals provided by the production team terrible? Why are you eating like a hungry ghost?”

Ning Ran felt aggrieved. I'm just eating slightly quicker since we're in a hurry, yet you're calling me a hungry ghost?

“Have you seen a hungry ghost before?” she retorted.

Nan Chen had no counterarguments and remained quiet.

Seeing his reaction, Ning Ran asked in a gloating tone, “If you haven't seen one, then how do you know I look like a hungry ghost?”

Nan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Do you believe the moon exists?” he asked abruptly.

Ning Ran thought the question was even stranger than hers. “Isn't it obvious?”

“So you believe it exists?”

“Of course the moon exists.” She chuckled. “Are you trying to overturn this fact?”

“Have you been to the moon, then?” he asked again.

“No, but there are people who have.”

“If you haven't been there, then how are you so certain that it genuinely exists?”

“Uh... Because it's hanging right there in the sky, and we can see it at night.”

“Have you touched it before?”

“This is pure nonsense. How am I supposed to touch something so far away? I'm not an astronaut.” Ning Ran was amused by his ridiculous questions.

“Since you've never been to the moon, nor have you touched it before, how can you be so sure that the thing you're looking at is the moon?” Nan Chen asked.

“I-Isn't it written in books?”

“What makes you think that what is written in the book is true? How do you know the author isn't lying to you?”

Ning Ran was at a loss for words.

“That's how I know you look like a hungry ghost even if I haven't seen one before. Is there a problem?” Nan Chen questioned again.

Ning Ran stayed silent. Gosh! He's asking all these questions just to retaliate against me. What a petty man!

“Our perception in life should be based on our beliefs. If you are skeptical of everything in this world, then there will be nothing left for you to believe. You can even start doubting your own existence at this point,” Nan Chen concluded.

Ning Ran was impressed. That makes sense. ”Okay, you're right. Whatever you say.”

At that moment, Ning Ran's phone vibrated. An odd expression appeared on her face after she glanced at her phone.

“Is it Huang Zichao?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
