Chapter 645 Love Like a Moth to a Flame
Wen Xi paused in her steps. "I already said I'm not angry. I don't get angry when others are angry. Getting sick from anger is something no one can take your place... I'm a very easygoing person."
She looked up at the sky. "Once I'm done with these last two days, can you help me move my things from the Li Mansion? I've already found a place to live, and I'll move there this weekend."
"Wenxi, I'm sorry." Qin He suddenly stopped and apologized earnestly, "I was wrong."
Wenxi was startled by his serious demeanor. "What are you doing? You...you didn't cheat on me too, did you? Which little vixen stole my boyfriend while I was working overtime to earn money?"
She almost lost her temper.
Qin He quickly said, "No, there's no little imp... I've already asked your aunt to help pack your things, and you moved in today..."
He glanced at Wen Xi cautiously, "She moved to my house."
"Huh?" Wen Xi's eyes widened suddenly. The surprise came so fast that she couldn't react for a moment. "Why do I want to move to your house?"
She feigned modesty and said coquettishly, "I thought you didn't like premarital cohabitation."
"I'm not used to it... Over the years, I've been by the CEO's side and seen all sorts of women. I think if a man wants to live a good life, it's best to stay away from women. Otherwise, he'll have more troubles than work... And two people in a relationship don't necessarily have to be together. Having each other's independent space is better..." Seeing Wen Xi's expression change, Qin He belatedly realized that he had said too much from his heart again.
"Wenxi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way..." He apologized awkwardly, then quickly grabbed her hand as if afraid she would run away. "What I just said was what I thought before. Actually, I'm a homebody with no romantic feelings in private. I come into contact with too many weirdos at work, so I like to be alone in my spare time, watch movies and play games. I've never lived in the same room with anyone before, and I've gotten used to it over the years."
“Before, I thought you thought the same way. After all, young people these days put themselves first. An independent woman like you must have emotional needs that far outweigh material needs, so I didn’t want to intrude on your inner world…”
"...Stop!" Wenxi finally understood what he was trying to say, even though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. "Since you want to continue living alone, why did you move my things over? Just because you're afraid I'll get angry?"
She frowned, genuinely angry this time. "Qin He, I knew from the moment I met you that you weren't a particularly romantic man, and that's not what I value. But I hope that when we're together, we can first and foremost bring each other happiness. If I become a burden to you, then it means our relationship..."
"We're fine!" Qin He had a premonition that she was about to say something terrible, and his lifeline went off like a whirlwind, awakening his belated will to survive. "I'm telling you this because I wanted to share my true thoughts with you. But these past few days you've been so busy with work, and after I calmed down and went home, I found the house to be terrifyingly large, and a sense of loneliness that I'd never felt before suddenly appeared."
"Every day when I lie in bed, I think of your voice. It makes me feel that my life is lively and human. Actually, I never thought loneliness was that terrible. I used to enjoy it. Now I realize that that enjoyment was a self-hypnosis based on reality. According to the theory of human sociology, humans are social animals. Even if someone is socially anxious, they cannot escape this large group."
"Just like Robinson Crusoe, stranded on a desert island, barely able to survive, yet still having the heart to befriend 'Friday,' no one can truly live alone in this chaotic and noisy world. The end of absolute loneliness is nothingness."

"Utter despair, that's not the way to go on living."
“I’ve just been waiting for someone—someone who resonates with my soul, shares my interests, and makes me willingly step out of the misconception that ‘loneliness is a comfort zone.’” He looked at Wen Xi with a mixture of trepidation and sincerity, his gaze burning hot enough to melt anyone’s heart. “Now, I’ve found him.”
"You..." Wen Xi's eyes welled up with tears. "Did you suddenly get some kind of romantic catalyst? How come you suddenly started talking like a human being?"
She suddenly grabbed Qin He's ear and asked, "Did you go to Yao Ruo to train you?"
“…It hurts! It’s not training, just asking for advice.” Qin He quickly explained, “I didn’t even need to go to her. She couldn’t sleep because she wanted you to be her sister-in-law, so she came to confront me.”
Wen Xi scoffed, "So you're implying you're actually quite unwilling?"
"How could I dare?" This time, Qin He's emotional detection radar finally got smart. "Then let's go home. You can reorganize your living area. You have a lot of things. I'll help you put them away slowly."
"Let's go home." Wen Xi suddenly stood on tiptoe and bit Qin He's lips. "You don't need to be romantic. I just like your silly, goofy self."
A romantic man can bring her momentary vanity and pleasure, but he will also bring that same feeling to other beautiful women.
The real reason she was angry was that she subconsciously categorized Qin He into that group of scumbag ex-boyfriends—how many of those men who didn't want to live with her had someone at home, and how many had a different one in bed every night?
Su Youling always says she's love-obsessed and has a magical constitution that attracts scumbags, so every time she sees her dating, she's on tenterhooks. Yangyang even secretly did background checks on her ex-boyfriends, just so she wouldn't suffer as much.
Unfortunately, even men who pass background checks always reveal their true colors in the 'future' of their relationship, and they cheat with a sense of self-righteousness.
She knows that her family of origin has caused her indelible emotional trauma, so once she invests in a relationship, she is like a moth drawn to a flame, taking it so seriously that it's frightening.
In this materialistic and restless society, talking about sincerity and love often makes men feel scared, timid, or even disgusted.
She couldn't control herself.
But now she doesn't need to control it anymore.
Qin He is right—there is always someone in this world who is a perfect match for you, someone with whom you share the same interests, and someone with whom you are compatible no matter where you are.
It wasn't innate, but rather his willingness to accept her strengths and weaknesses, and to love her as always.
Seeing the two of them get into the car and leave sweetly, while Su Youling was still engrossed in drawing, Li Tingxi felt a serious sense of imbalance.
"Su Su, have you not had a good night's sleep for days?" Li Tingxi took off her glasses and massaged her eyes, his tone full of resentment. "The kids were complaining to me today—saying that all you care about is work and making money, and you don't care about your family anymore."
Su Youling turned her head and pulled his hand down. "Are you sure these are the children's true feelings?"
“It’s mine too.” Li Tingxi readily admitted. “Let’s go home. Mom has prepared a big feast for us tonight. Don’t keep them waiting.”
“But my design drafts…” Su Youling didn’t want to leave yet. She hesitated for a moment before someone picked her up, packed her up, and put her in a car.
Li Tingxi said firmly, "You have no choice but to come home with me tonight. Xingxing said they have something very important to discuss with us."
