Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2374: Chapter 2368: Must I Really Say It Out Loud?

"Who are you looking for, kid?" Ye Xiao turned to Chu Molin.

"Who else but the principal of the academy?" Chu Molin retorted to Ye Xiao. Having spent a year studying at the academy, it wasn’t just for nothing. He truly understood the situation, and the principal was one of the few friends he could actually speak to after arriving in the Imperial Capital. He hoped the principal could help him secure a spot, so his wife wouldn’t have to constantly worry about her sister’s affairs.

This is why Chu Molin put so much thought into the matter, with the purpose of easing his dear wife’s anxiety.

"So it was him. Although I haven’t dealt much with him, I feel a mutual appreciation." Ye Xiao thought the principal was a passionate friend. They had discussed student issues before, making them familiar with each other.

Not to mention the principal, anyone would get anxious with Ye Xiao. The principal put great effort into cultivating talents, and Ye Xiao would come and take away all his best trainees. Anyone would be upset with him.

So in work, the principal had to listen to Ye Xiao and cooperate by providing him with people. But in life, they were friends and didn’t let it affect them. They would joke around and brag with each other.

"You could actually say that? With a relationship like yours, who would believe you haven’t interacted much?" Chu Molin didn’t believe it. How could someone have such a casual conversation without a relationship? Friends with the principal were rare, and without ties, who would joke around like this?

"Can’t you just keep quiet? Our relationship really can’t be defined by words, it’s like we’re both friends and rivals." Ye Xiao looked at this step-son of his who kept undermining him. Was this really okay? Fortunately, this was at home; otherwise, he’d lose face in public. Such things couldn’t just be exposed or else his position would be a laughing stock.

Chu Molin only spoke like this at home with the family. Outside, he wouldn’t say such things as it wouldn’t be good for him. Ye Xiao didn’t understand Chu Molin enough, or he’d notice that Molin was more talkative at home. Outside, he hardly said anything unnecessary unrelated to work.

If you observed carefully, you’d discover that he talked more when with Qin Xue. But in front of others, it wasn’t something easily seen. People can really be different; one way in front of others and another way with those they care about.

Their family was often very harmonious. When they were together, the atmosphere was lively, just like now. Chu Molin, though not saying much, had even started learning to tell cold jokes and showcase dry humor.

Even without Qin Xue, he was still someone who could join in the conversation. Although often people didn’t want to talk to him, if Qin Xue were there, she would definitely find that she was getting less familiar with the ever-changing Chu Molin.
