Although Chu Moyin usually appears to be very cold, once she shows her sincerity and enthusiasm, she is surprisingly easy to convince people.
Just like when that expressionless face smiles, it has a very strong lethality.
Lian Shuiyin looked at the fragments on the ground and Chu Moyin's pure black eyes.
"I understand. I have a very low level of favorability towards you, but I can't deny what you said. This means that psychologically, you have already been believed by me. I don't trust you, I just trust what you just said."
"Of course. You're a fairly upright person, aren't you? If you'd said you trusted me completely, I'd have to be terrified and reflect on how far I'd strayed from the boundaries I'd originally set for myself."
Chu Moyin crossed his fingers and placed them under his head.
"Did you initially set the boundaries for yourself by being unwelcome and unappreciated?"
"Because my position is so delicate, it's already a very unattractive one. If I were a people-pleasing personality, I'd be even more likely to be suspected, right? Just like you. I know you don't have any ambitions, and I also know that Lian Tianning, who seems to value his own self-esteem, is actually protecting the Gongyi family in his own clumsy way. His methods seem so foolish simply because he has no ability. However, such a simple thing is hard to believe..."
Chu Moyin blinked: "Someone seemed to say that a life that relies too much on one's personality is prone to collapse completely from the root, right?"
"Indeed. If it's not your true self, it's hard to keep going—you'll always reveal clues inadvertently—but if you keep going, then it can't be called a disguise—"
"So, what do you think of this life of wearing a mask, Ms. Mizune?"
"That's despicable. Anyway, I despise a life where you can even lose yourself—"
"Yes, generally speaking, when a person's image collapses, the faith of those who follow that image will also collapse..." Chu Moyin smiled faintly, his eyes cold. "But, whether it's about the image or the collapse of the image, what exactly is the process? I wonder if Lord Lian Shuiyin has ever thought about it in detail?"
"I don't know. I'm not really a fan of stars—"
"I'm not talking about star-chasing. Actually, personas are everywhere. You used to call me 'this uncle' all the time. Wasn't that also an attempt to establish a strong, manly persona for yourself?"
“…”
Lian Shuiyin coughed awkwardly.
But after a brief silence, she nodded quietly.
"Yeah, that's right. But I really meant it at the time, I wasn't pretending—if you could say my personality collapsed, that's fair enough—but it didn't have any real impact—"
"So, the process from a persona to a persona collapse usually refers to the process of evolving from a good image to a bad image. If it's an evolution from a bad image to a good image, people would say that the person has grown, rather than a persona collapse—"
Chu Moyin pointed at himself: "Simply put, I took the opposite path. I let the worst side of myself show up, being cold to others, having low emotional intelligence, and being neurotic - and then no matter what I become in the future, there will definitely be people praising me, 'Chu Moyin is different from before'..."
