Chapter 106 - 106 105 Actually My Eloquence is Not Bad

?Chapter 106: Chapter 105 Actually, My Eloquence is Not Bad (Fifth Time Update)_1 Chapter 106: Chapter 105 Actually, My Eloquence is Not Bad (Fifth Time Update)_1 “I thought you were hard to get along with.” The soft smile at the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth left Ye Xiwen somewhat taken aback, leading her to accidentally voice her inner thoughts.

“How so?” Mu Lin raised an eyebrow in counter-question.

Does she really appear so challenging to deal with?

Perhaps Mu Lin herself doesn’t realize that her face always holds such a serene air, even when she smiles. It always broadcasts a sort of aloofness. However, she is the type of person who easily attracts attention, regardless of gender.

Gazing at Mu Lin, Ye Xiwen scratched her head in slight embarrassment. Her face didn’t particularly show discomfort, and she straightforwardly said: “Because when I asked you before, you… seemed aloof, like you didn’t like to talk.” There was a sense of keeping people at arm’s length. However, after observing the way Mu Lin interacted with Jing Youlan, she could faintly sense that Mu Lin treated them differently.

Don’t ask why, it’s just a feeling.

Understanding the feeling or not, it was an indescribable intuition.

Regarding Ye Xiwen’s comments, Mu Lin just laughed nonchalantly, “Actually, I can be quite articulate.” Indeed, during certain occasions, she liked to talk.

Jing Youlan and the others: We believe in you!

…

Listening to the two of them having casual, intermittent conversations, Xia Luoyu’s lips curl upward at the corners in a slight smile.

Compared to Mu Lin, Xia Luoyu genuinely dislikes talking. Of course, this only applies to strangers. However, she doesn’t exude the same unapproachable aura as Mu Lin. She radiates gentleness.

Ever since Mu Lin entered the room, she kept quiet except to briefly introduce herself. It was only when their last roommate entered that Mu Lin finally understood the main reason why Ye Xiwen could keep up her chatter with her incessantly.

This girl must have been stifled these past few days, with two roommates who hardly talk.

Although Mu Lin also hadn’t spoken much since entering the room, she came across as very approcahable once she dropped that intimidating aura she held. Even when Ye Xiwen spoke to her, she responded with a smile, a sign of respect unique to her.

Her occasional responsiveness reassured others that they aren’t being ignored, a perfectly balanced approach.

It wasn’t until later, when Mu Lin mercilessly extracted a person’s heart in their presence, and still kept him alive to agonize in pain until his death, that they realized the stark contrast between the Mu Lin they interacted with daily and her true self. She was the Poison Doctor- an icy, heartless Poison Doctor. But in front of them, she was different, which made them cherish their relationship with Mu Lin even more.

Because they were comrades! They were comrades who could entrust their lives entirely to each other.

…

As she was speaking, the door swung open. Mu Lin lifted her head, making direct eye contact with the newcomer. The latter, however, averted her gaze after a brief glance.

Ah… seems like a cold beauty.

“Yue Qiao, you’re back.” Ye Xiwen showed great enthusiasm to everyone, even if they were aloof. For someone as casual and simply cheerful as her, Mu Lin couldn’t help but wonder about her growing up in such a family.

It wasn’t until later that she discovered she was perhaps the one who truly wrung people’s hearts among the three of them.
