Chapter 6 The car rollover scene.
Yeah?
Is the reason why I have grown up to be the way I am today because of the trauma caused by my original family and my childhood experiences?
Chu Ling thought about it carefully.
She had actually thought about this question before.
Because she was indeed unpopular from the moment she was born, and she was an annoying person wherever she went.
But because of this, she never indulges anyone, and after being beaten by the world, she has become a stubborn person with a sharp tongue and a hard bone.
Maybe many people think this is not good.
But Chu Ling is very satisfied with his personality.
She is now in the direction of growth that she has chosen herself.
In this world, many people have indeed developed their personalities because of their original families.
But what Chu Ling was sure of was that the person in front of him was not analyzing her character because he liked her or loved her.
He didn't understand her at all, and had never tried to understand her. He just arbitrarily applied common formulas to show off his knowledge of psychology and demonstrate his charm.
The topic of original family now resonates with many people.
So, he probably thought that simply by using some popular rhetoric, he could take a shortcut to get close to her and open her heart.
"oh?"
Chu Ling tucked her hair behind her ears and looked sideways at Lin Zirun. "You know a lot about psychology?"
Chu Ling looked at him with her beautiful eyes, the corners of her eyes raised, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she was giving him a bright smile.
Lin Zirun couldn't help but lose his mind for a second.
...Although Chu Ling has a bad personality.
But I have to admit that this face is so beautiful that it makes people crazy.
If she really likes me, dating a female celebrity...it doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Lin Zirun came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "I did minor in psychology in college, but I can only say that I have a superficial understanding of it."
He seemed modest for a moment, then said, "If you need to, you can relax in front of me and treat me as your good friend of many years, rather than a stranger you just met. Tell me everything you want, how about that?"
"Don't worry, I don't mind being your tree hole."
Chu Ling glanced at the cameraman and camera following behind him.
...Do you think I'm a fool?
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and moved closer to Lin Zirun, as if he wanted to get close to his ear.
The air seemed to become ambiguous at this moment.
Although he knew that it was a recording, Lin Zirun's heart couldn't help but rise with nervousness as Chu Ling approached.
Even though he has seen many beautiful girls, he can still be calm and at ease in front of most of them.
But Chu Ling's beauty in this dimension still makes people feel oppressive.
Could it be that Chu Ling was really moved by him and opened her heart to him?
He couldn't help but bend down to listen to what she had to say.
"—but I do mind."
Chu Ling said.
Lin Zirun was suddenly stunned.
Chu Ling took a step back and then smiled: "Does this mean that I am two-faced?"
Lin Zirun quickly said: "Of course not!"
Chu Ling didn't give him a chance to explain, and only asked further: "Have you used this trick on many girls?"
Lin Zirun didn't have time to think about it and denied it again: "No."
"That's good."
Chu Ling said calmly, "Because I heard that psychologists can't date their patients because of the imbalance of power."
She laughed and asked, "Since you've learned it, you wouldn't be unaware of it, right?"
[Just now, for a moment, I thought that this was the classic original family whitewashing plot arranged by Chu Ling...I was overthinking it.]
Chu Ling is still the same Chu Ling. Although he speaks harshly and has a negative EQ, he is still true to his character and feels at ease with his dark side.
Lin Zirun seemed to realize something, his face looked a little bad, and his tone was a little anxious: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I just wanted to... understand you better and get closer to the real you. Please don't misunderstand me."
"Can I get to know you this way?"
Chu Ling asked back, "You've been obeying me since the beginning. Are you a people-pleaser or a highly sensitive person?"
Lin Zirun: “?”
Chu Ling said jokingly, "You like analyzing others so much because your family background also brought you corresponding trauma, so you formed the habit of observing others to gain information and a self-protection mechanism?"
Who doesn’t know how to use formulas?
Let’s start a magic showdown.
[She speaks so harshly, her mouth looks like it's coated with poison.]
【The second male lead felt his face turn pale. 】
[He showed good intentions but ended up getting criticized. Chu Ling's EQ is really low. This rude date is the worst among all the dating shows, right?]
[Tremble, the love variety show soles are really here. 】
[I'm not a fan of either of them, but the second male lead was the first to ask about her family background in front of the live camera? He's digging into her scars like that... isn't that a bit unkind?]
[Then Chu Ling shouldn't say that. It's so hurtful.]
"See? Topic, topic is coming!"
Backstage, the director, who had been monitoring each shot, looked at the ever-increasing barrage of comments and exclaimed happily, "Quick, buy the corresponding trending search."
"Isn't that bad, Director?"
The staff member hesitated and asked, "Wouldn't buying a trending search just lead people to criticize her? Would the attention generated by this trending search really be good for our show?"
"What do you know? This is exactly the effect we want!"
The director said, "When signing the contract, Chu Ling and her agent both knew that she was being used to create controversy for the program. Look how cooperative she is, trying so hard to create buzz. Of course, more of this kind of hype is better!"
As a result, #Chu Ling confronts the male guest on her first date# and #Chu Ling's low EQ remarks# were bought and became trending searches.
Originally, most of the people in this live broadcast room were Chu Ling's haters and the second male lead's fans, and they all despised Chu Ling's behavior.
[Chu Ling, was this necessary? This statement offends all vulnerable people with real mental illnesses. Is this something that can be used as a joke?]
However, after it became a hot topic, some curious people rewatched this segment and came up with different ideas.
[Wait… I’m just speaking for myself, I wasn’t offended and actually thought it was funny.]
[I just passed by and took a look. I don't think there's anything wrong with Chu Ling. Asking someone directly in front of the camera whether their family background was traumatic is the only problem, right?]
[I saw this because of the trending topic about Chu Ling having low EQ. I didn't think she had low EQ. Instead, I thought her way of handling the situation was very clever.]
[Fake low EQ: Responding to the male guest.]
[True low EQ: so moved that he spilled all the beans.]
[Why do I vaguely feel that the second male lead's combo has the potential to be a scumbag? ]
[Really, this combo is just a standard Aquaman attack. Next, it's time to offer some emotional comfort and pretend to understand and empathize, but in reality, it's just to trick the girl.]
[Sisters, remember! Often, the people who know you best can hurt you the most. Don't casually reveal your weaknesses or traumas to others!]
[Yeah, even if you really do, you absolutely can't tell this to a guy you've just met! It's too dangerous! ! !]
[Help me, am I too naive? I actually believed the second male lead for a moment... and I even thought the atmosphere was quite good for a moment.]
【Taking everything will only harm you! 】
Lin Zirun wisely pulled back from the brink, his eyes filled with guilt. "I was abrupt. If you don't like this topic, I won't bring it up again."
Chu Ling nodded without comment.
The photography exhibition is gradually coming to an end.
As they were about to leave, Lin Zirun asked, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee? There's a very good coffee shop nearby."
Chu Ling responded: "Sure."
The cafe is not far from the photography exhibition. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the aroma of coffee. There are not many people in the store, so it is a good place to find peace and quiet in the hustle and bustle.
"I used to come to this coffee shop often. The coffee is very good. I recommend you to try it."
Lin Zirun asked, "But, do you know what I like most about this coffee shop?"
Chu Ling: "What?"
Lin Zirun shook his head, closed his eyes, and said mysteriously, "Listen."
Chu Ling: “……?”
If you want to talk, say it. If you don’t want to talk, get lost.
Lin Zirun waited for a long time, and when Chu Ling didn't respond, he opened his eyes awkwardly and said, "It's music."
His expression was a bit melancholy. "These days, there are very few places that play vinyl records. Yet, this seemingly unremarkable cafe plays vinyl records all day long, and they're all classical music."
"Only by listening to Tchaikovsky, Bach or Mozart here can I find a moment of peace of mind in this city."
The second male lead's fans who had previously liked him were scolding Chu Ling when they were scolded by passers-by attracted by the hot search. At this time, he immediately found an opportunity to show off.
【Lin Zirun has excellent taste.】
[You are such a romantic person. Give up on Chu Ling. She obviously doesn't understand you.]
Chu Ling really couldn't understand.
“The vinyl record player is out of print?”
She asked.
Lin Zirun: “…That’s not the case.”
Chu Ling said: "Then can't you buy one and listen to it at home?"
What is there to be sad about in this spring and autumn?
Lin Zirun: “…”
Two cups of coffee were brought up. Lin Zirun held the coffee cups and deliberately showed a somewhat melancholy expression: "I just feel sorry that in this era, fewer and fewer people listen to classical music."
"You know, people like me are always looking for some old-fashioned things."
“The world is changing so fast. If we move slowly, we may not be able to keep up with the pace of the world. However, sometimes we can discover more beautiful scenery.”
Lin Zirun spoke again naturally, "I wonder if you have read The Moon and Sixpence?"
It's obvious at first glance that Chu Ling, this idiot, hasn't read it.
Lin Zirun sneered inwardly, then continued, "In the book, Maugham wrote, 'There were sixpences all over the floor, but he looked up and saw the moon.' I think, in this materialistic and impetuous age, I would like to be the one who looks up at the moon."
Chu Ling almost choked on his coffee when he heard this.
She put down her coffee, looked at Lin Zirun, and suddenly gave a playful smile.
Lin Zirun felt a little moved when he was looked at again.
really.
As a female celebrity, she has an empty brain and hasn't read much, so it's impossible for her not to be impressed by my talent after hearing these things.
Lin Zirun thought.
Although she was very resistant to the topic of her family of origin at the time, as he said, that was just her defense mechanism. Maybe she had already been touched in her heart.
"——But Maugham didn't write this sentence."
Chu Ling said slowly.
For a moment, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
[Hilarious scene of pretending to be cool and then failing.]
[Help! I'm embarrassed! My toes are already scratching the castle!]
[You told me this person is... a writer? I'm starting to doubt the quality of his books.]
