"Yes, of course I'm talking to you."
Bo Changling nodded, suppressing his inner elation, and stared intently at Mu Lingxi.
From his angle, he could clearly see Mu Lingxi's flawless face.
The girl seemed very surprised when she heard his voice; her pale, almost glowing face was filled with astonishment.
Her rosy lips were slightly parted, as if she were saying something, or as if she wasn't saying anything at all.
However, her round, almond-shaped eyes seemed to speak volumes, telling her everything; she was absolutely adorable.
Bo Changling has no experience interacting with girls, after all, he has been alone since he was a child, but he can try.
He was about to speak first before the girl could, since she seemed to be a shy person.
However, what should I say? I can't say anything too harsh, lest I scare people away.
Bo Changling looked at her intently, his eyes filled with affection and warmth, his mind racing.
Got it!
"Your name is Lingxi? That's a beautiful name."
Looking at the girl's surprised expression, Bo Changling thought for a long time, his face flushed, before he finally managed to squeeze out those few words.
This... seems like it might not work.
It has to be said that this taciturn man really doesn't know how to talk; he couldn't even seize such a good opportunity to communicate.
The audience's attention was focused on this side. Some people came to see Mu Lingxi's looks, while others wanted to see which of these men would win the beauty's heart.
However, they witnessed the entire process of Bo Changling striking up a conversation with her, and they were all amused.
"Why is this male lead so tongue-tied? He seems so stupid and doesn't know how to talk."
"That's right, that's right, you made me laugh. You look like an elite gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be such a tongue-tied person."
"This is so funny! Bo Changling is so good at talking. So if you're so good at talking, just keep talking, hahaha, you bring us joy."
"I laughed. Even the female lead was speechless. This... kids shouldn't try this at home, they might get beaten up."
Bo Changling was completely unaware of the criticisms he received from the audience; he even thought his excuse was quite good.
However, when he saw that the girl ignored him completely, Bo Changling realized that he had said the wrong thing.
No, is there anything wrong with what you're saying?
Having worked his way up in the business world, Bo Changling developed a cautious nature. He knew very well that some things could be said and some things could not be said.
Therefore, he usually keeps a straight face, making it impossible for partners or others to guess what he is thinking.
This approach allowed him to dominate the turbulent business world, and even perform better as a result, securing numerous projects in one fell swoop.
However, Bo Changling is starting to dislike his own personality; he can't be as adept at social maneuvering as Han Jin.
What should I do? The girl isn't saying anything, and I can't force her to talk.
Bo Changling was somewhat troubled. He wanted to talk to the girl more, but she didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
Does having a stern face make me seem unapproachable?
So Bo Changling tried to force a smile, wanting it to be gentle and even more beautiful than Han Jin's.
The scene he imagined was just like when he was a child, when his smile made many female classmates like him. Now, he thought that if he smiled, Mu Lingxi would like him too.
With that in mind, Bo Changling began to try it out. He tried to pull the corners of his mouth, wanting to smile more naturally and gently.
It's a pity, though, because Bo Changling rarely smiles, the muscles in his face have become somewhat stiff, making his laughter even more stiff.
He tried to achieve a gentle effect, but his attempt backfired, and his laughter became somewhat frightening.
“You… Bo Changling, I’m warning you, don’t come any closer.”
Mu Lingxi was indeed startled. In her previous life, Bo Changling was the person who hated her the most, and she was even directly expelled from the show by him.
She now harbors a natural hostility towards Bo Changling. When she saw the man threatening her and smiling at her as if to intimidate her, she suddenly understood.
This person disliked me from the moment we met, and now they're trying to scare me away—they're really up to no good!
Mu Lingxi looked like a frightened kitten; if she had cat ears, they would have turned into airplane ears, which shows how scary Bo Changling was.
The audience was so amused by Bo Changling that they burst into laughter, as if a switch had been flipped on, and they couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha, I thought Bo Changling would come up with some novel idea, but it turns out he's just using his own laughter to scare people!"
"It's so funny. Looking at Bo Changling's figure, I feel more and more heartbroken the harder he tries."
"What's there to be sad about? Bo Changling is a real comedian, even more entertaining than a Spring Festival Gala skit."
Sure enough, Mu Lingxi's wary voice attracted the attention of her two protectors, who were trying to help her.
Provide protection and support.
"Mr. Bo, you should stop laughing like that. Didn't you see how scared you've made Xi'er?"
The person who said this was Han Jin, who exuded an air of refinement and appeared somewhat reliable in Mu Lingxi's eyes at this moment.
Yi Changfeng was equally unyielding. Although he was frail and sickly, he still possessed the courage and spirit expected of a man.
Seeing his beloved being "bullied," he naturally started arguing without hesitation.
“Mr. Bo, your smile is really ugly, it scared the girl.”
Is Yi Changfeng speaking up for himself?
Mu Lingxi was somewhat shocked to see Yi Changfeng also standing in front of her, after all, this one was the most frail and unable to take care of himself.
In his previous life, Yi Changfeng was physically ill, and it seemed like he had some serious mental illness, so he insisted on going on this show to suffer.
He was one of only two people who had never criticized himself, after all, eating, sleeping, and writing songs had already taken up all his energy.
Yi Changfeng was sickly all day long, seemingly uninterested in anything, and detached from everyone else.
He doesn't participate in group activities much, and even that one-on-one date was arranged by him using a dating card.
This person looks much stronger than in his previous life.
And he even spoke up for himself. Wasn't he the one who was most indifferent and didn't care about anything?
Mu Lingxi felt as if the world had turned upside down, into a state she could no longer recognize.
She was even considering whether to change her target, since these people had been speaking up for her and might have feelings for her.
The thought had just crossed Mu Lingxi's mind when she quickly dismissed it.
Never mind, never mind.
Let's stick to the original plan. Who knows what might happen if we rashly change our target?
I don't want to be reborn again.
