Thinking back, it all started after that night in the basement.
Song Lingshan never contacted Su Luo again, nor did she watch his live streams. She also deleted her WeChat account associated with Qiangwei.
In the past, Su Luo would have been grateful if Song Lingshan hadn't contacted him.
But suddenly not contacting me like this feels a bit strange, and I feel empty inside.
Does he have some kind of problem?
I think so. He had talked to Dr. Lu about his daughter before, and Dr. Lu had mentioned it to him in a roundabout way.
Dr. Lu said he couldn't quite remember his exact words, but the gist of it was that his personality wasn't well-developed.
He asked if there was any way to make himself more normal.
Dr. Lu said with a smile.
"If you're not perfect, then you're not perfect. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Nobody says a person has to be normal. As long as it doesn't affect your normal life and work, that's fine."
Since that's the case, then let's just stay sick.
Su Luo smiled slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
...
The weather in Beijing in November is already quite cool.
After finishing breakfast, Su Luo took off her pajamas, put on a light blue hooded sweatshirt with cotton lining, put on thermal underwear, and then put on a pair of light-colored casual pants.
I put on a baseball cap before leisurely heading out.
We took a taxi to the company entrance to meet up.
Once all the employees were present, they lined up and boarded the bus one by one.
Looking at the long queue ahead, Su Luo sighed inwardly.
It's a small company, really, and they're poor. He remembered that when he was at iQiyi Media, Song Lingshan chartered a plane to take their employees on a team-building trip.
After everyone in front got on the bus.
Su Luo boarded the bus and found there were no good seats left. He gets carsick and didn't want to sit in the back, which made him feel frustrated.
Mia, sitting in the front row, smiled and greeted him, "Lolo, come here, I have a seat here."
Su Luo walked over excitedly.
Mia picked up her handbag from the seat next to her and gave it to Suloten.
Su Luo sat down, turned her head, and smiled at Mia.
"Thanks."
Mia dressed very cutely today, with her waist-length pink hair braided into the trendy crayfish braid that's been popular online lately, hanging down on one shoulder.
That delicate doll-like face was lightly made up, with some kind of lipstick on it, pink and jelly-like in texture, making it look so tempting to take a bite.
She wore a fluffy light pink fuzzy coat, a white pleated skirt, and her fair and slender legs were casually crossed. On her feet were a pair of white princess shoes.
Mia smiled and said, "You're welcome. By the way, I feel that your outfit today doesn't look very feminine."
The baseball cap covered Su Luo's eyebrows and eyes, and his clothes were men's hoodies, making him look more like a pretty boy.
Upon hearing this, Su Luo excitedly took off her hat and looked at Mia intently.
"Really?"
If he dresses like a boy, then he should try to dress like that in the future.
Mia pursed her lips, suppressing a smile.
"Um... it won't work if you take off your hat."
It turns out that the baseball cap was covering half of his overly stunning face, which is why he looked like a boy. Once he took off the cap, he reverted to his original form—a beautiful girl.
"All right……"
Su Luo lowered his head somewhat dejectedly, then raised his hand to put his baseball cap back on.
At this moment, the bus slowly started moving.
Seeing that Su Luo was in low spirits, Mia asked in a low voice.
Are you very dissatisfied with your appearance?
Su Luo was stunned; it was the first time someone had asked her that question.
He nodded without hesitation.
If he looked normal, even if he wasn't handsome or ugly, maybe he wouldn't have been bullied.
Mia finally understood why Su Luo was so introverted and spoke so cautiously; it turned out he was insecure about his appearance.
My God, you have to know how many girls dream of having a guy like him.
Thinking back to the scene of Bai Bing bullying him yesterday, he can understand now.
His appearance might attract unwanted attention from some men, though there might be others with special tastes who like his looks. But he's probably straight, which is why he's unhappy.
He comforted her, saying, "It's okay. At least you're making a good living from live streaming because of your pretty looks. The future looks promising."
Su Luo's eyes lit up. Right, if he didn't look like this, he wouldn't earn so much money in a month. Song Lingshan must have liked his face when she first pursued him.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to balance things out a bit.
"Thanks……"
Mia said somewhat helplessly, "You don't need to be so polite with me. Aren't we friends now?"
Su Luo swallowed hard, surprised.
"You...you'd like to be my friend?"
Since leaving school and entering the workforce, he has not made any female friends, and his only male friend is Ye Xiaotian.
His busy work schedule and financial pressure were partly the reasons, but he was also not good at communicating with girls, had an uninteresting personality, and couldn't speak fluently.
As for Ozawa Nami and Ye Xiaoman, whom he knew, he felt they couldn't be categorized as friends.
Being with Nami Ozawa always feels like having an affair.
Being with Ye Xiaoman felt like a dream, because Ye Xiaoman was his idol, and it always felt unreal.
"Of course."
Seeing Su Luo's tense and incredulous expression, Mia speculated.
"You don't have any female friends, do you?"
Su Luo scratched his head awkwardly, "No, nothing."
Mia smiled and said, "Then I'm the first one. I'm honored."
She wanted to be friends with Su Luo not only because of his good personality, but also because the way he looked at her was different from other men; there was no lewd desire in his eyes.
Of course, I also think he has potential in the live streaming industry and might be able to surpass me in the future.
After all, having more friends means having more options.
Su Luo was speechless again, her cheeks burning, and could only thank him again, "Th-thank you..."
Mia found his flustered reaction adorable. He seemed genuinely innocent, shy, and easily blushed—just like a girl!
...
One hour later.
The group arrived at Hongyun Villa.
The resort covers a large area with beautiful scenery, including mountains and water. The buildings are all in Chinese style and are quite magnificent.
Everyone enjoyed a special lunch prepared by the resort.
Free time afterwards.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was not as low as it was in the early morning.
Mia pulled Sulo and several colleagues onto the ship.
The air was very fresh, and a gentle breeze caressed my face.
Su Luo comfortably squinted his eyes, gazing at the verdant mountains not far away.
The boatman was not driving fast, and Su Luo did not feel dizzy at all; in a very good mood.
Mia, standing beside him, placed a strawberry lollipop on Su Luo's lips and asked with a smile.
"Want some candy?"
Su Luo smelled the enticing strawberry scent, her eyelashes drooping slightly as she looked at the lollipop whose wrapper had already been removed and said something.
"Thanks."
Then, immediately open your mouth and put the lollipop in your mouth.
So sweet.
As he looked up, he met the cold yet familiar gaze of a beautiful woman on a boat not far away, and he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.
It was Song Lingshan!
