"If I don't speak properly at first and do something random, people will think it's an improvement, right?"
"Yes. Just like the so-called dark horse, it's not because they don't have the ability to win the championship that they are called dark horses - that is, the guy with the ability to win the championship won the championship, which is a very natural thing, but why is it so eye-catching?" Chu Moyin put his arm around Chu Shangli's shoulders as if very intimately, and asked her to sit side by side with him: "It's because of the so-called 'low-key' and 'lack of presence', and also because the guy listed in the front is too conspicuous - so the dark horse's brilliance is as dazzling as the guy who is compared to the dark horse is dim -"
Lian Shuiyin was silent for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "Do you think you're being low-key?"
"Very low-key. While I'm not narcissistic or boastful, I'm actually quite aware of my genius—in other words, whatever I do stands out. Besides, not everyone is born with the ability to be reserved. Those people are just too terrifying—even a genius like me can't do it."
Chu Moyin stroked Chu Shangli's hair. "So, it's clear from just a casual glance. I know that my abilities are gradually failing, so I have to find someone who can't lose to me, so that others will feel that 'Chu Moyin is just so-so'. After that, I can quietly work hard and still amaze everyone - even if I can't, just being this guy's friend will be amazing enough."
"What a cunning way of thinking."
"Of course. Otherwise, do you think I could have lived peacefully in the Chu family for so long? In order to maintain my basic status in the Chu family, I have gone to great lengths to agree to conditions that would even sacrifice my most basic dignity. Most people wouldn't necessarily be better at enduring hardships than me."
Chu Shangli complained in his heart. It was obvious that his brother and father had done nothing wrong to Chu Moyin, yet she actually said that she was sleeping on straw and tasting gall.
Is it really jealousy at work? If she were the real daughter of the Chu family, she would be able to receive fair evaluations, become Wei Shengfan's fiancée without fighting or competing, and so on.
But she was very concerned about what Chu Moyin had just said.
She was very clear that Chu Moyin had concealed his true strength. After all, she was facing the complete form of Chu Moyin after being imprisoned.
But real personality?
Although Chu Moyin became much more tactful afterwards, she did not think that her personality had become very likable - in fact, in the later period, she had the attitude of a strong and powerful superior -
It can be said that it is sharper and covered with spikes.
In other words, besides his ability being admirable, his personality is even more annoying——
This was not her one-sided prejudice, but she had found a lot of comments about Chu Moyin in her previous life.
Although she appears to be a glamorous and admired strong woman on the surface, behind her back she is almost always ridiculed for her rare character. If she does not have a pretty face, no matter how strong her abilities are, they will be in vain.
"But it's a little too late for you to change your ways now, Mizune-dono—but in a sense, your previous actions coincide with my disguise. In other words, if you become a lady now, you might suddenly become very popular."
"Why is it so popular?" Lian Shuiyin looked puzzled: "Whose welcome?"
Chu Shangli originally thought she was joking, but Lian Shuiyin's expression seemed very serious.
It seems that Lian Shuiyin's constant harshness on herself has caused some problems with her sensibility -
But at least it looks cute to Chu Shangli - this strict sense of setting high standards for himself.
