"Hey, hey, are you denying my feelings for Mr. Fan...Brother Fan?"
"I'm not disapproving." The Cheshire Cat shrugged. "I'm clearly denying it. Can't you hear that?"
“…”
Even Ying Meng probably felt that the Cheshire Cat's words were a bit too much, and said with an embarrassed attitude: "Hey, cat - you're a bit too much, right? After all, it's someone who has invested time and energy in the relationship -"
"Does investing time, energy, and emotion into gambling, drugs, and the underground service industry really mean anything in return? Only brainwashed, obedient individuals believe that rewards are proportional to effort. Well, in a sense, Ying Meng is also a brainwashed, obedient individual—it's just that her thinking is rather peculiar, so fundamentally, it's not quite consistent with the expectations of universal values—"
"Don't talk like you know me so well." Chu Shangli puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Of course, she was not dissatisfied at all, she just made such an expression deliberately to match the atmosphere.
She was really interested in what the Cheshire Cat said - so she let her attitude conform to the atmosphere -
"Well—I do know you very well, huh? Even if it's just a model pieced together from scattered bits of information, that's still understanding, isn't it? Actually, if you think about it, what people usually mean by 'understanding' is mostly this—using scattered fragments to piece together a complete picture. However, no matter how perfect the piece is, there will always be gaps. So, what one person reveals to another is never the whole picture. There will always be missing parts—in other words, it's not actually a complete puzzle, after all, the number of pieces in the puzzle was incomplete to begin with—"
The Cheshire Cat took a sip of black tea.
"In fact, popular shops—be they bars or clothing stores—are the most natural places to gather information. With a little processing of the chat messages coming and going, the amount of information you can obtain is terrifyingly vast. With a little processing, you can almost draw the facial features of half the residents of the empire. Especially if you pay special attention to the people related to a certain character, the amount of intelligence you can obtain is even more astonishing..." The Cheshire Cat leaned back gently in his chair.
The seats were not soft sofas, but rather hard wooden chairs.
Seeing the Cheshire cat dressed like this leaning on the stool like this, Chu Shangli was really worried that it would hurt her back.
But the Cheshire Cat seemed to feel nothing, as if he was leaning on a comfortable sofa chair - even cotton.
Her whole body seemed to sink into it.
"You're in the third year (A) class of Meso Academy, and you're clearly doing pretty well academically. Every time new items are released, you actively come to the store to try them, but it's not just to check in. You savor the flavors that have been changed, and sometimes you even think of ways to improve them. It's clear you have a good palate and good cooking skills. Although you sometimes appear with the heir of the Weisheng family, more often than not you keep Family in your pocket as if it were your own private treasure—you even deliberately use being busy as an excuse to avoid the heir of the Weisheng family. When you appear with your sister, Chu Moyin, you report your new discoveries to her with sparkling eyes—think about it this way, dim sum and your sister, Chu Moyin, actually come before Weishengfan, don't they? If you break dim sum down, you can even break it down into eating, appreciating, and cooking it yourself—isn't that subtly interesting? Although at first glance you appear like a love-brained person, there's something that naturally comes before love—"
