Li Xi: "..." Is this a bitch or a bear?! Also, won't your hand go numb if it stays like that?
For example, there were those two sisters over there, arm in arm, chatting and laughing (presumably sisters, not aunt or niece, right? They looked about the same age!). They seemed like close friends, each beaming with smiles, eyes adorning their faces as they glanced at each other. But Li Xi clearly saw that as one of them lowered her head to touch her bag, the other's smile immediately fell. She glanced at the other, her lips twitching, and rolled her eyes. When she raised her head, she immediately smiled again. The other was no less sluggish. When the other stood up to use the restroom, she took advantage of the moment she turned around and quickly pulled something from her bag and waved it up her skirt, putting on a look of anticipation. As the girl passed by, Li Xi took a peek. It was something like blood plasma, dotted just below her hips. Ummm, it looked like her period.
Li Xi: "..." Is this vicious or childish? Li Xi couldn't understand it, Li Xi couldn't comprehend it, but Li Xi was shocked.
For example, the couple kissing behind the balcony curtains over there, so passionate! Because Li Xi was not far away, she could occasionally hear some discordant sounds, the sound of water, humming, and heavy breathing.
Li Xi: "..." Ha! This is immoral! Are you really that intolerable? Can't you just find a vacant lounge? Don't you know that people have a sense of shame, curiosity, and a competitive spirit?!
Well, Li Xi doesn't have a competitive spirit. She has been a solo person for more than 20 years and has zero kissing experience. How could she have a competitive spirit in this regard?
Ha! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Rich families are prone to controversy and gossip. Just from this family dinner, it's clear that the Luo family is undoubtedly the most fraught with controversy and gossip of any family Li Xi has encountered. Yet, it's difficult for Li Xi to view the Luo family's affairs with the same amusement she experiences with other families' gossip. It's not because she's caught up in the gossip, or even part of it. Rather, it's because everyone present, including Luo Jingxuan and the babbling child nestled in an adult's arms, is the executioner who brought about Li Xi's tragic end in the original story.
Although the original story is a novel, and Li Xi is a mere figment of her imagination; although with Li Xi's arrival, "Li Xi" has already transformed her character and altered the ending; although many people were not directly involved in the pivotal events of "Li Xi's wedding," "Li Xi's bewitching," and "Li Xi's betrayal," they, sucking Luo Jingxuan's blood, look down upon Li Xi, who came for "bringing joy." In their limited interactions, they treated the original Li Xi with endless coldness and sarcasm. If the original Li Xi were just an ordinary person, someone who had been cherished from childhood, she would have been able to heal herself even if hurt. But the original Li Xi was born into a life of lovelessness, never experiencing a single day of "normal" love. Despite her outward appearance of being defiant and arrogant, she is actually very sensitive to the emotional shifts of others, and the pain caused by others' indifference is doubled compared to that of an ordinary person.
She couldn't sense any kindness from the Luo family, so there was no need for her to harbor any kindness towards them. Her own desire to be loved was even greater than before.
Therefore, Shen Zhou's disguised shallow love was able to quickly move Li Xi's heart and make her fall in love without hesitation. Even though she vaguely knew that Shen Zhou's "love" for her was not pure, or even did not exist. But at least, there was someone who once "loved" her passionately.
He is the only person who makes me feel "loved". For him, even if I am abandoned by everyone and fall into the abyss, what does it matter?
Li Xi never experienced the childhood of the original Li Xi. She never had elders who spoke sweet words but had treacherous intentions, siblings who hated her, or someone she desperately wanted to love. But she can empathize, putting herself in the other person's shoes and considering the logic behind their behavior.
Therefore, even if the original text didn't explicitly state it, Li Xi was basically certain that the original Li Xi knew that Shen Zhou's love was fake. Those wrong things that seemed to be bewitched and deceived were done willingly by the original Li Xi with a clear mind.
She was always awake.
Consciously being hated, consciously being excluded, consciously being abandoned by everyone, and consciously giving up on oneself.
In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. Li Xi's tragic fate is the product of a series of events: the Li family, the Luo family, the original male and female protagonists, the second male lead, and even the Lu, Shen, and Jing families.
At the beginning of the journey, Li Xi condemned everyone equally. But humans are, after all, emotional animals and social animals.
After traveling through time for so long, Li Xi inevitably encountered and developed feelings for many people. She could no longer view the people involved rationally, as an outsider would. For example, she now viewed Luo Jingxuan and Su Yu through a thick filter. Even if they took the initiative to plot against others, it was always the other person's fault!
But the Luo family. Ha, they weren't worth Li Xi's special attention. She hated all of the Luo family members equally. Of course, except Luo Jingxuan.
The original text reflects Li Xi's experiences, coupled with her own feelings. Li Xi felt no sense of belonging to the Luo family, even a certain repulsion. Therefore, she viewed gossip about the Luo family more like the abyss gazing down upon a demon on the verge of destruction. Malice tinged with a touch of mockery and a curse, she hoped they would soon reach paradise.
She had no intention of spreading gossip about the Luo family online. It wasn't that she was afraid of affecting the Luo's stock price or her own reputation among the Luo family. With Luo Jingxuan around, even if the stock price plummeted, it would surely recover. And reputation alone wasn't enough to make a living. Luo Jingxuan's temperament meant he didn't care much about Li Xi's exposure of these "insignificant" matters. Though the boss was aloof, he was still very protective of his protégé.
