It was the first time for Liu Woxing and Lai Bingxuan to eat crayfish at a food stall.
The tables and chairs here are just placed casually on the roadside. If you want to eat something, just tell the boss loudly, and he will bring it to you once it's cooked.
The guests were drinking and chatting happily, and the boss's boiler was emitting smoke.
After a few drinks, Liu Woxing looked at the scene in a trance.
It’s hard to imagine that this is what she’s going through.
At least for her in the past, it was out of reach.
"Wow! Cool!"
After finishing another glass, Lai Bingxuan's face turned red, and she was obviously drunk. "Xie Mi, you are really an interesting person."
"Many people I met before would show an expression of enduring humiliation when I paid them to do something, as if I was paying them to humiliate them."
"But when I told them they didn't have to do it if they didn't want to, and I had plenty of people to hire, they still chose to take the money."
"I just don't understand. They obviously want money, but they have to pretend that money is nothing. Why is that?"
"Is it shameful to love money? Who doesn't love money?"
"So, Xie Mi, you are the first person I have ever met who takes my money and is grateful to me."
"You're different from those people."
Lai Bingxuan, who started to speak the truth after drinking, patted Xie Mi's shoulder hard. After patting him several times in a row, he finally blurted out a sentence that he had been holding back for a long time.
"Thank you."
Xie Mi looked at Lai Bingxuan with horror.
Is this the God of Wealth?
Not only did he make her $200,000 in just over half a month, but he even thanked her?
If there were a live broadcast comment at this time, one sentence would probably pop up: [Hey, she has to thank us.]
In response, Xie Mi just looked at Lai Bingxuan with deep sympathy.
"The monsters you encountered before are only a minority."
"Believe me, most people will have the same reaction as me."
Are you kidding? If you meet the God of Wealth, wouldn’t you worship him?
Lai Bingxuan looked at Xie Mi dazedly, nodded as if she understood, and turned to look at Liu Woxing.
"And you, Liu Woxing. I've always thought you were a boring person. You don't have much presence on the show, and you're a wimp."
Liu Woxing pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Ms. Lai...you are so straightforward."
Subtext: Don't give her any face.
"Don't worry about it!"
Lai Bingxuan waved her hands randomly. "That day when we were recording on the mountain, I heard what the host said to you. I was so angry, but you didn't react at all. At that time, I thought, ah, this person is hopeless."
"It wasn't until that day when you rejected Qiu Chengye that I changed my mind about you. Suddenly I realized that you seemed to have some thoughts of your own."
"Then today, I completely changed my mind about you."
"I didn't expect you to be so crazy when playing. You are completely different from the you I knew before."
"When I saw you today, an idea suddenly popped into my mind."
"Hey? This lifeless marionette actually started moving on its own."
“Hahahahahaha…”
When it came to the second half, Lai Bingxuan was completely confused, shaking her head with her wine glass in hand. Maybe she herself didn't know what she was talking about.
Liu Woxing fell into silence, looking a little dazed.
turn out to be……
In the eyes of outsiders, she is a lifeless puppet.
What an apt description.
She raised the wine glass to her lips, but Xie Mi held it down with his hand.
"The dream is over, it's time to return to reality."
Looking up, she met Xie Mi's rare serious eyes.
Lai Bingxuan was already lying on the table unconscious. At this moment, only she and Xie Mi were looking at each other at the table.
The atmosphere became inexplicably heavy.
"Actually, I brought you out today not to convince you of anything or to make you make any decision."
"It just occurred to me that it would be terrible if I could never experience freedom once in my life."
"So I went to find you."
"I want you to experience this kind of time, even if it's only for one day."
"It's up to you to make the decision next. No matter which path you choose, I respect your choice."
Xie Mi looked at Liu Woxing calmly as he finished speaking.
She never thought of forcibly changing a person's destiny.
After all, it is the person himself who should make the choice.
Faced with Xie Mi's words, Liu Woxing remained silent for a long time.
Then he smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie."
Xie Mi also laughed and didn't continue the topic.
Liu Woxing has already made a choice in his mind.
Whatever that choice was, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
…
The day's escape is over, and the next thing to do is to face reality.
Liu Woxing took a taxi back to the Liu family.
Looking at the cage-like oppressive building in front of her, she walked in even though she knew what was waiting for her next.
Just like countless times before, after briefly escaping from reality and secretly finding happiness, I have to return to this suffocating home again.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.
Lu Ping sat at the tea table drinking tea with an expressionless face, while her eldest brother sat on the sofa looking at the tablet with indifference.
Liu Xingzhou stuffed grapes into his mouth and looked at her with a smile.
The butler greeted her with a smile.
"Miss San, welcome home."
It seemed that this sentence made other people notice Liu Woxing's existence. Lu Ping raised her eyes and glanced over, sneering.
"You still remember to come back?"
The eldest brother Liu Fuan didn't even raise his eyes, and said in a very dull tone, "Go and apologize to mom."
“…”
Facing Liu Xingzhou's eyes that were watching a good show, Liu Woxing slowly walked in front of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping had naturally withdrawn her hand that was pouring tea, and said in a light commanding tone: "Pour the tea."
The teacup was scalding hot, and Liu Woxing's fingertips were scalded red just by touching it.
She poured the tea as if unconsciously and placed the cup in front of Lu Ping.
Under Lu Ping's slightly satisfied look, he apologized.
"sorry."
"What's wrong?" Lu Ping glanced at her slowly.
"My fault is disobeying your orders."
"What else?"
"I will continue to disobey your orders."
Lu Ping paused while holding the teacup, and suddenly glanced at Liu Woxing with a sharp look.
Liu Fuan, who had not raised his eyes, finally looked over, his dark eyes filled with displeasure, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I think she is really crazy." Liu Xingzhou sneered.
Liu Woxing ignored all the voices and continued to look at Lu Ping with his calm and determined eyes.
"I won't go on the blind date, but I will continue to participate in the show."
"If you are angry, you can take back my director position, freeze my bank card, cut off all resources given to me, and kick me out of the house."
"I guess you do."
"Well, I'll be leaving now."
