I snapped out of my daze, smiled at him, and said, "We're here? I'll head back now. You should go pick up Muxi and take her home."
I opened the car door and left.
Su Shenglin chased after him and got out of the car. "Is this all you're going to do?"
I was still holding my phone, preoccupied with getting home and continuing our verbal sparring, when I heard this and paused, "Then what do you want?"
He pursed his lips, his handsome face under the streetlights showing a mixture of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
I suddenly realized.
We had just started dating, and I was so engrossed in my phone that I neglected him the whole way.
Now that I'm home, I'm getting off the bus and leaving again.
That's really going too far.
My face flushed with embarrassment. I looked around and saw that there was no one around in the middle of the night, so I went back and tiptoed to give him a light kiss on the chin. "Goodnight, thank you for bringing me back."
Su Shenglin smiled and said, "Get some rest. We'll have lunch together tomorrow."
I didn't ask why we had lunch together; I just waved goodbye and went upstairs.
When I got home, I went straight online on my computer and saw those comments that were defaming Su Shenglin. I took screenshots to preserve the evidence and prepared to have my lawyer handle it the next day.
I worked online all night until the sky began to lighten, then I yawned and went to sleep.
He slept until the sun was high in the sky.
My phone rang for what seemed like an eternity before I was suddenly jolted awake from my sleep.
"Hey...you're up so early..." I was so sleepy that my voice was muffled.
Su Shenglin replied with amusement, "It's eleven o'clock, is that still early?"
11 o'clock?
I was startled, frowned, opened my eyes, and tried hard to check the time on my phone.
It was indeed noon.
His tone was gentle, with a smile, "I saw you arguing with someone online all night, so I didn't dare call you earlier. It's noon now. Didn't we agree to have lunch together last night?"
I had completely forgotten about it, but my sharp mind caught his previous sentence, and I asked curiously, "How did you know I was arguing with someone all night?"
"You're famous now, how could I not know?" Su Shenglin explained with a smile, "A marketing account posted screenshots of your verbal sparring with keyboard warriors online, and it went viral. Many netizens said they wanted to rent your mouth to use."
What?
I forced myself to sit up. "No way, who's so bored?"
"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing. At least now no one dares to curse you, for fear that you'll climb over the internet and get cursed at until you become depressed."
He was joking, but I felt incredibly annoyed.
I tried hard to recall the words I used when I argued with the haters last night, some of which were extremely vicious.
I thought Su Shenglin wouldn't have time to pay attention to this kind of online flame war, after all, he's so busy every day, with so many serious and confidential matters to deal with.
But he actually found out!
What will he think of me?
They discovered that I only have a pretty face and seem like a lady, but in reality I'm rude, uncultured, and constantly use foul language.
Oh my god—
I held my phone, hating myself for being too cocky last night.
Even through the microphone, Su Shenglin seemed to sense my embarrassment and helplessness, and continued to comfort me with a smile: "It's really okay, let them scold us, those people deserve to be scolded."
I chuckled awkwardly, "Don't you think I'm a shrew?"
"Why do you think that way? They have slandered and insulted you time and time again. Isn't it right for you to fight back? I like your passionate and straightforward personality. You have a vibrant, fiery, and flamboyant energy."
His words of praise made me feel so excited that I suddenly felt like a heroine.
He's incredibly good at providing emotional value.
"Second Master Su, your taste is rather unique."
Men generally prefer quiet, elegant, dignified, and virtuous ladies, but he was an exception, preferring aggressive and shrewish women.
Su Shenglin understood what I meant and said with a smile, "That's right, this young master has always been different from others."
I held my phone and chuckled to myself.
For some reason, I feel that he got a bit cocky after we started dating.
But this kind of "floating" is quite nice.
Although he was outstanding and dazzling enough in the past, I always felt that he had too much responsibility on his shoulders and too heavy a family mission, which made his life somewhat depressing and dull.
He is like the "other people's child" in the eyes of all parents, with extremely high standards and extreme self-discipline.
Over time, these rules and regulations became a "burden," binding his life into a rigid and conventional structure.
He forgot that life can be carefree, unrestrained, and a little carefree.
Suddenly, I felt sorry for him.
No wonder he thought it was good that I was arguing with those netizens. It's probably because his identity, upbringing, and status dictate that he could never be so unrestrained and arrogant.
So when they saw me do that, it was as if they had experienced it themselves.
Why……
I sighed inwardly, life... no matter how much you have, there will always be regrets.
Behind their prestige, power, and immense influence lie responsibilities, missions, and obligations that ordinary people cannot comprehend, along with countless rules and principles, and the pressure that accompanies them throughout their lives.
After agreeing on a dinner date with Su Shenglin, I got up and washed up.
I also went online to check out my glorious record of being used as a hot topic by marketing accounts.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
I even doubt whether the words I used to respond to the trolls were actually written by me.
Or was it that I went berserk last night and lost my mind?
for example:
The trolls said I look like a vixen and that I must know how to charm men.
I retorted: Are you envious? Are you so ugly that you don't even dare to look in the mirror, afraid of having nightmares at night?
The trolls said I found another man right after my divorce, that I must be asking for sex and can't stay still for a day.
