In Chu Chengrui's view, Chu Shiyao has always been a strong-willed girl. Even after learning the truth about his approach to her yesterday, she didn't break down immediately. As for Chu Ge, there's no need to mention — from Chu Ge's previous behavior, he is definitely a bold, fearless man with defiance in his bones.
However... whether it's Chu Shiyao or Chu Ge, why do they both look so disheartened now?
Ha! Either these two are putting on an act to make me lower my guard, or I overestimated them; they're nothing special after all!
Chu Chengrui thought to himself, not realizing that Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao were actually engaged in an "awareness exchange." They weren't silent all along; they were continually conversing.
Chu Shiyao appeared lifeless because she found it hard to adapt to this mode of communication at first. It was difficult for her to maintain harmony between her body and mind in both the real world and the Spiritual World.
