37. The Scumbag's Reflection
Chu Xiao rarely reflects on himself.
Before her eighth birthday, the word "reflection" had never been in her vocabulary.
It wasn't that she resisted growing up, but rather that no one dared to give her the opportunity.
Her parents had an overly strong bias, treating her like an angel. Her teachers, with the attitude of fawning over a sugar daddy, revered her like royalty. Because of her tall stature, exceptional fighting skills, and privileged background, the children around her treated her as their leader, following her every command.
When Chu Xiao was a child, after watching Snow White, he stood in front of the mirror with his hands on his hips and said domineeringly, "Magic mirror, magic mirror on the wall, who is the most perfect child in the world?"
The nanny would then mimic the magic mirror next to the mirror and answer, "Little Chu Xiao is the most perfect child!"
She was constantly bombarded with sweet words and compliments, so she always thought she was the most outstanding and perfect child in the world.
Until that unlucky summer, her uncle, who was hiding his identity and working in the entertainment industry, completely shattered her perfect image with a show called "Baby Metamorphosis: The Runaway Princess of a Wealthy Family".
Chu Xiao still remembers it; it was an ordinary afternoon, sunny and cloudless.
My uncle, wearing large sunglasses and a tacky-looking floral shirt and shorts, whispered furtively in my mother's ear.
"Can I borrow your daughter for three days to film?" The uncle rubbed his hands together, put on a fawning smile, and followed his sister around like a shadow. "Anyway, my makeshift crew can't make much of a splash."
The mother was focused on applying a face mask, but was annoyed by her fly-like, eyesore-filled little brother next to her. Finally, she waved her hand and said, "Just make sure the child doesn't go hungry."
I thought it was just a few days of fun shooting life.
Who would have thought that, after her uncle's devilish editing, the scene of her picking at the strawberry tips was played on a loop, the close-up of her picking the seeds off the dragon fruit was accompanied by the subtitle "drama queen"... and the scene of waiting for the nanny to help her put on socks even became a meme!
When Chairman Chu chased his uncle for two miles with a golf club, the entire internet had already labeled eight-year-old Chu Xiao as a "human atavistic specimen".
Although her father confiscated all her electronic devices, the printed version of trending topics tucked in her classmates' textbooks still made her realize the world's ridicule of her.
Faced with the cold reality, young Chu Xiao slammed the door, hugged the teddy bear that was one of only six in the world, and cried with snot bubbles all over her face.
After crying her heart out, she wiped her face and then smeared the snot on her hands onto the teddy bear.
Looking at the child in the mirror, whose eyes were swollen like walnuts and whose cheeks were as red as a monkey's bottom, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists: "Chu Xiao! You're the boss! You have to do your best!"
She recalled the sly smile on Qian Xiaopang's face when he secretly glanced at her trending topics, and a sense of crisis overwhelmed her.
It's been shown in TV dramas: bosses who aren't good enough will eventually be overthrown!
She absolutely refuses to lose to that dark-skinned Qian Xiaopang!
During the Mid-Autumn Festival ritual, Chu Xiao knelt before the statue of the God of Wealth in her home and secretly vowed that she would become a truly perfect child. Otherwise, she would... she would make the God of Wealth punish Little Fatty by depriving her of pocket money for the rest of her life!
She solemnly kowtowed three times, and the incense ash in front of the God of Wealth statue fell onto the back of her hand, burning a small blister on her delicate skin.
Chu Xiao thus began her life as the perfect child.
From then on, she would consciously remove the stems from strawberries and no longer pick out the seeds from dragon fruit. Although there were many maids and servants in the house, and she didn't need to do any real work, she still learned all the life skills.
She consistently ranked among the top students in her grade, developed many hobbies, traveled to many places and experienced different lives, and gradually grew into a seemingly perfect adult.
Once she entered the dazzling world of adults, she became the embodiment of authority, with very few daring to contradict her, and no one needing her to reflect on her actions.
This perfect life continued until she was twenty-eight when she transmigrated into a melodramatic novel. Faced with the dramatic lives of various characters, she gradually began to reflect on herself.
Tonight's casual question, "Why are you angry?" not only stumped Yu Chun, but even Chu Xiao, the one who asked the question, was taken aback by his own words.
Yu Chun's reddened eyes made her feel uneasy, and she began to reflect on herself again, something she hadn't done in a long time.
Upon reflection, Chu Xiao was quite frightened.
What on earth is wrong with me today?!
First, he took advantage of Yu Chun's looks and made a scene on the hospital bed. Not satisfied, he even went to the attending physician to get twenty tubes of lubricant... How is this any different from a teddy bear in heat?
What's even more terrifying is that she only now realizes that she never seriously asked Yu Chun if she was willing.
Although the other party always blushed and acquiesced, that condescending attitude...
Yu Chun's anger just now made Chu Xiao realize that Yu Chun was not that kind of person, and that she could not give Yu Chun any promises about the future.
The fatal thing is that even knowing all this, she still can't control her desire for Chun's beautiful body.
Chu Xiao covered her face in despair: "You're right, I really am a scumbag."
Faced with Chu Xiao's sudden outburst, Yu Chun was at a loss.
Although Chu Xiao deeply reflected on his actions and felt that his mind had been somewhat erratic for the entire afternoon.
But in Yu Chun's eyes, Chu Xiao's sudden declaration that he was a scumbag was like he had taken the wrong medicine.
Could it be that when I was struggling just now, my arm accidentally hit Chu Xiao's head and knocked him senseless?
Yu Chun frowned and thought carefully.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't recall the details of the physical altercation.
Yu Chun propped herself up, moved her buttocks next to Chu Xiao, and pulled Chu Xiao's head down.
Chu Xiao: ? ? ?
