Lu Yu watched her act like this and wanted to laugh, wondering how a girl could show so many different faces.
He couldn't help but say, "When I saw you talking about that girl just now, you were all fierce, but looking at you now, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believe you're the same person."
Gu Shengyin took a bite of the noodles. The noodles were chewy, and the soup was fully flavored—it was delicious.
She replied earnestly, "You naturally adopt a certain posture when dealing with different kinds of people. Take that Qing Luochen, for example. Do you believe that if I didn't show some dominance, she would definitely think I'm an easy target to manipulate?"
She couldn't possibly play the naive and sweet girl forever in front of her lover; her true self also needed to be known to him.
Lu Yu's focus was entirely elsewhere, however.
He asked, "Then tell me, why do you act like this in front of me?" Simple and harmless, like a delicate little cat.
