"Oh, no need. You've already offended me thoroughly before, so there's absolutely no need for any further introductions."
"Um… cough, Miss Robin, is this your original appearance?"
Mo Xin selectively ignored Master Yunli's words.
Her gaze was completely captivated by Robin's current appearance.
This was the first time Robin had completely discarded her disguise and appeared before Mo Xin in her true form.
Her beauty shone like the stars themselves, her every movement graceful like a swan. Combined with the elegant and dignified temperament of a noble lady, she exuded the warmth of a spring breeze.
Compared to Yunli's casual and natural demeanor, the contrast was striking, causing Mo Xin to unconsciously become much more reserved.
"Yes."
"After all, when arriving in an unfamiliar world, it's best to adapt to local customs and keep a low profile."
Now that their identities had been revealed, Robin no longer needed to remain overly cautious and answered most questions openly.
Of course, getting along with her wasn't much different from before.
With the "Miss Robin Buff" currently active, Mo Xin no longer lost her composure as easily as she had moments ago.
…
"Eh, speaking of which, Miss Robin, do you plan on continuing your old profession in this world?"
Having calmed down, Mo Xin threw out a soul-searching question.
Regarding this superstar singer who had once been famous throughout the galaxy, she had no doubts about Robin's talent.
Still, with such constant travel, wouldn't it be exhausting both physically and mentally?
Hearing this, Robin was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected Mo Xin to be interested in such a matter.
She nodded with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Of course. I still need to make a living, and besides, singing is something I truly love."
"Eh?"
"Yes."
"I hope my voice can flow like the galaxy itself, reaching every corner of the universe, bringing a glimmer of hope to souls trapped in darkness and guiding them toward the shores of happiness. Even if the road ahead is filled with hardships and thorns, I always believe that as long as I don't give up, I can become like a small stream, slowly gathering into an ocean where wishes are fulfilled."
Robin rested her chin lightly upon her warm, jade-like hand.
A gentle smile remained on her lips as her eyes, soft yet unwavering, rested upon Mo Xin.
Hearing this, Mo Xin's pupils contracted slightly.
As someone who had once struggled at the bottom of society, she understood just how difficult such an ideal truly was—it was a mountain that seemed impossible to climb.
Yet within Miss Robin's voice, there wasn't the slightest trace of hesitation or weariness.
Instead, there burned an ardent hope for the future, like a torch shining steadily through the darkness.
At that moment, Mo Xin gained a deeper and more genuine understanding of this seemingly unattainable superstar.
Unfortunately, that image only lasted a few seconds.
Because after some rambling, Yunli suddenly remembered the original purpose of their conversation.
Immediately, she looked at Robin with a strange expression and asked in confusion,
"Back to the main point. We ended up sitting here because we mistook you for some creepy stalker. So… why exactly were you following Mu Yao?"
Mo Xin (O.O)?!!: 'Huh… Eh… Oh right?!!'
As the words fell, she also turned a curious gaze toward Robin.
"Eh?!"
Robin (๑•̀ᴗ-) ✧:
"Ahem, since I happened to be passing by, of course I had to pay close attention to my fan's romantic journey."
'You just wanted to watch the drama, didn't you?! Definitely!'
Robin's serious expression while spouting nonsense caused both of their mouths to twitch.
The magnificent filter that had just formed in Mo Xin's eyes instantly burst like a bubble.
If fans from Robin's original world knew their idol was such an enthusiastic gossip enthusiast, they would probably turn into stone on the spot.
Robin keenly sensed the speechlessness hidden in their expressions.
After all, even she didn't believe her own excuse.
Thus, she quickly changed the subject.
"Then what about you two? Weren't you also just passing by and decided to observe your roommate's romantic progress?"
"No, Master Yunli and I were merely passing by when we happened to see Senior Mu Yao and Miss Robin."
"I see."
"Then… was that man really your roommate's boyfriend?"
"I… I don't know. Senior Mu Yao never mentioned having a boyfriend to us… and we don't know that person either."
"Speaking of which… Little Qian seemed to have brought something like this up before."
Only then did Yunli suddenly remember.
Both Mo Xin and Robin immediately turned curious eyes toward her.
Rubbing her chin, Yunli thought carefully.
"Earlier, Little Qian noticed that Little Yao had been acting differently. She guessed Xiao Yao might be in a relationship and asked me to pay attention to it, vet the guy and so on."
"Eh?! Why didn't Sister Qianqian tell me something this important?"
"Because you skip class every day and don't come back to the dorm until late."
As she spoke, Yunli shot her a direct glare.
After all, she and Mu Yao were elusive every day. Did Mo Xin really expect the only ordinary person in the dorm to track them down?
Hearing that, Mo Xin's little face immediately flushed red, and even the tips of her ears turned pink.
Thinking about all the days she'd secretly gone to the Ability Bureau to "slack off," she felt guilty, but still stubbornly defended herself.
"I-I only skipped class to better complete the training tasks you assigned me, Master Yunli!"
Yunli merely rolled her eyes, leaving the meaning for her to interpret herself.
…
"So, is that guy really her boyfriend?!"
"I don't think so… Although he's handsome and has a good temperament, Senior Mu Yao wouldn't… Right! Maybe they were just going the same way!"
"Eh? But they looked very close, even a little intimate."
"No matter what, I need to investigate him properly for Senior Mu Yao. Senior is so tiny and adorable. What if she gets tricked?"
"That's a good point."
Robin nodded with a smile.
"It seems Miss Mo Xin and this Mu Yao are very close."
"Eh? Is there really a need to go that far? In the end, Little Yao is just shopping with a boy. Why make such a fuss?"
"What?!! Master Yunli, how can you say that?! This concerns Senior's future happiness! It's no trivial matter!"
"Ah? Is it really as exaggerated as you say?"
"Haha, Yunli, you're still young, after all. It's normal not to understand."
"What?! I've told you already—don't treat me like a child!"
Yunli puffed up her cheeks indignantly, her adorable face full of dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, Robin simply covered her lips and chuckled softly.
Mo Xin, however, had already entered full gossip mode. Her eyes sparkled brightly, like stars lit by curiosity.
"Miss Robin, Miss Robin! What do people usually do when they're dating?"
"Dummy Mo Xin, why are you asking her?"
"Because Miss Robin looks very experienced!"
Robin: (｡•́︿•̀｡)
"Um… actually…I've never dated before."
Mo Xin: Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ
Yunli: (๑•. •๑)
For a moment, the atmosphere around the table became strangely silent.
