"fear--?"
Chu Shangli laughed dryly twice: "What are you talking about? I don't feel any fear——"
"Ah, is that so?" Su Wan once again glanced at all the dishes she had prepared and pressed his finger against her lips——
"Those who like to lie are not good children."
“…”
Those eyes seemed like devil eyes that could see through people's souls, causing Chu Shangli to feel an inexplicable chill behind him.
"Well, that's fine, but you should know how I can see through you, right? Or—are you trying to play dumb even on this question? But, playing dumb will get you mashed, especially in the hands of a top chef. There's a good chance there won't be even a slag left, clear garlic juice—"
"Perhaps it's because—I clearly knew what the best dish was, the one that would be most suitable even if it wasn't for my style of cooking that doesn't rely on color coordination, but in the end I still chose a cooking method that wasn't the best—"
"Correct." Su Wan snapped his fingers. "This is a pretty obvious oversight. I don't think you, who immediately thought of using the latest drying technology to dry the spices upon entering the door, would make such a low-level mistake. So, then—is it because you are afraid of something?"
A shallow dimple appeared on Su Wan's face——
"Are you afraid of me? I've never shown my face to the public, so why would you be afraid of me?"
“Yes…” Chu Shangli originally wanted to use “Yes, yes, I have no reason to be afraid of you” to get by, but when the words came to her lips, she found that it would not work——
If Chu Moyin's keen intuition and understanding of herself made her appear in front of Chu Moyin like a transparent person, then Su Wan's was pure insight -
In front of someone with pure insight, it's impossible to tell absolutely no lies. After all, I have a purpose that I must achieve, and if I tell the truth, the meaning of communication will be lost.
Small lies are harmless, and even if Su An sees through them, he will think it is a normal social tactic. In other words, if a person is completely honest, he is often the most terrifying.
In a sense, it is an extreme form of self-centeredness, not considering the conditions of others or their feelings.
The so-called adherence to correctness has always been nothing more than the implementation of a rather empty concept.
Chu Shangli didn't think Su Wan would like such an existence——
Even if he just wanted to impose his own ideas on Su Wan because he didn't like them, Chu Shangli didn't think there would be anything wrong with such arrogance.
However, telling too many lies is not good either.
If a person is full of lies, he will definitely be judged as untrustworthy.
Perhaps it would have been better if she hadn't been so reckless before, but now that things had come to this, the number of her lies had actually reached a critical point—
If you say one or two more words now, your favorability will drop rapidly.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Chu Shangli took a deep breath and smiled sweetly.
"Yes, I am indeed very afraid of you. Although I want to face you with respect, you are a complete monster, a monster that I cannot easily defeat. If I were still a human, there would definitely be no one who is not afraid of monsters."
"monster?"
"Hmm..." Chu Shangli nodded: "One level higher than genius - no, it should be two levels higher - that is, the upper level of ghost, probably a monster -"
