"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.
