"muscle?"
Chu Shangli had indeed seen books describing this part, but she had never paid much attention to it.
When this was suddenly brought up, she had a sudden realization—
"Muscles... I see, self-control is also a muscle—"
"Well, when you're always tense, it becomes hard to control—" Chu Moyin showed a regretful expression: "What a pity, you could have hidden it better. It's a pity that you don't have enough physical strength—now it's hard to control your expression and tone."
Chu Shangli was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:
"It seems so."
"So..." Chu Moyin's eyes fell on the computer screen: "Who were you chatting with just now? Was it some important figure in the empire?"
"I don't know if he's a big shot..." Chu Shangli was shocked when he said this, and quickly changed his words: "No, I guess he is a big shot..."
"I see." Chu Moyin smiled and played with her hair: "Thank you for your sincere answer, I think I know who it is..."
"Huh?" Chu Shangli raised his eyelashes: "Do you understand?"
"Hmm, that's an easy guess, isn't it?"
“…”
Seeing Chu Shangli curling his lips in disbelief, yet at the same time showing a rather contradictory and nervous expression——
Chu Moyin sighed: "It seems that if I don't say something to prove myself, you won't be convinced - forget it, it's not something worth hiding too much, it doesn't hurt to say it -"
Chu Moyin sat on the edge of the bed, with her feet up——
"It's the Cheshire Cat, right?"
“…”
Although Chu Shangli had thought that she might come up with the correct answer, when she actually gave the correct answer, she still felt a little frustrated.
"Ah, ah, this is so boring."
"I think so too..." Chu Moyin twisted her fingers around her long black hair, "So do you need me to tell you my reasoning?"
"reasoning--?"
"Well, although the Cheshire Cat is a bit tricky, I also don't want you to belittle her personality in your mind just after meeting her—"
"So you two are really friends—"
When Chu Shangli blurted out the answer, she realized that even if the other party wanted to trick her into telling the real answer, it was too late to change her words now.
"How did she tell you?"
"You two are acquaintances..."
"This answer is enough, right? If we're just acquaintances, it's definitely not enough to be friends, let alone family or something like that—" Chu Moyin replied calmly, "We're just friends."
"Then why are you speaking for her...?"
"Don't get me wrong—I'm not speaking for her, I'm not speaking for anyone else—it's just that for someone who has no grudge against me and I have no resentment towards, there's no need for me to interfere with your thoughts—if you think she's good, then trust your judgment; if you think she's bad, then even if I point out all her good points, you won't feel any wavering, right?"
“Hmm…”
"Speaking of which, I received a text message on my phone today. Can you guess what it said?"
Chu Moyin took out his cell phone and waved it in front of Chu Shangli.
The phone's screen is black, with no text or images displayed.
Chu Shangli wanted to mobilize her brain to think this problem through, but her mind was in a state of confusion.
shook his head.
"No, my head is in a mess and I can't think of anything."
"Alright, since you've been working so hard today, I won't make things difficult for you..."
Chu Moyin clicked on the display on his phone——
Chu Shangli raised his finger to unlock the screen——
What was displayed on the screen was a member's text message reminder.
