I have ten trillion licking dog gold

KE Group, a leading international high-end fashion brand.

East China Sea Branch.

Staff canteen.

Luo Li'er, who was born with a good life and knew it, held her chopsticks and rummaged through her food, her mind elsewhere.

"Hey."

Xu Siyi suddenly appeared from the side and called out.

Luo Li'er wasn't frightened; she simply snapped out of her reverie.

Xu Siyi, carrying her tray, sat down opposite her. "What are you thinking about?"

"Ugh."

Luo Li'er sighed softly, making no attempt to hide her dejected mood.

"What's wrong? You've been distracted these past few days. You haven't even offered me a drink."

Xu Siyi was joking.

"Burning over TV dramas has made me depressed."

Luo Li'er's words were astonishing.

"Bingeing up TV series?"

Xu Siyi was taken aback, then casually asked with a smile, "What show?"

Luo Li'er shook her head, "Let's not talk about it, I'm afraid it will hurt my chest if I do."

Xu Siyi, slightly curious, picked up her chopsticks and said, "Tell me about it, I haven't watched a TV series in a long time."

"Never mind, I'm afraid I'll upset you too."

Xu Siyi chuckled, took a bite of rice, and said boldly, "Go ahead and say it. When I was a kid, I didn't shed a single tear watching those heart-wrenching Korean dramas."

They really are from the same era.

They were only one year apart.

"You're pretty impressive."

Luo Li'er praised.

"You've watched those kinds of Korean dramas too? That doesn't seem like it."

“My sister watched it, and I watched a tiny bit of it too.”

"Miss Pei?"

Xu Siyi asked tentatively.

"Mm." Luo Li'er nodded.

Xu Siyi suddenly realized that those melodramatic Korean dramas about dying and coming back to life were coming to an end by her age, while Pei Yunxi, who was older than her, was a generation that had been deeply affected by them.

"Did your sister cry when she watched those Korean dramas when she was little?"

Xu Siyi, out of curiosity, inquired about the gossip surrounding the superstars; who wouldn't be interested?

"Don't tell you."

Luo Li'er was still wary.

"cut."

Xu Siyi pursed her lips, ate her meal, and got back to the point, "What kind of drama is it that has such a powerful magic that it can make you so engrossed?"

Since the other party had asked so sincerely several times, it was not easy to refuse. Luo Li'er fiddled with the little potato and finally spoke up, "Actually, it's quite cliché. It's a modern city story about a love triangle."

Xu Siyi laughed in disappointment, "I thought it was something else. Aren't all dramas like this nowadays? Even historical dramas are the same. Besides romance, these screenwriters and directors can't come up with anything else, so I haven't watched TV dramas in a long time. They're boring. Only young girls like you like them."

"How am I a little girl?"

Luo Li'er retorted, "I'm only one year younger than you."

Oh.

I almost forgot.

However, physiological age and psychological age are not the same thing. Physiological age increases irresistibly with time, while psychological age is related to experience.

Therefore, some children resemble old people, and some old people resemble children.

As for myself, my fate has been full of twists and turns. Although I am only one year older, I have experienced more than just one year of vicissitudes.

Okay. I misspoke.

Xu Siyi remained calm and said, "Go on."

Luo Li'er pondered, seemingly trying to figure out how to summarize it concisely, "...It's about a guy, a domineering CEO, who has a girlfriend but also philanders outside."

Xu Siyi looked at her strangely, "That's it? Aren't most melodramatic dramas like this?"

"No. It's different from those melodramatic dramas. The mistresses in melodramatic dramas are all pretty manipulative, but the character in this drama is different. She's kind, gentle, beautiful, and considerate, and she's incredibly sincere towards the male lead."

Xu Siyi frowned slightly.

That's a bit different.

"That's somewhat original. And then what?"

"The plot was going well so far, and the male lead wasn't a complete jerk. Although he wasn't single, he did what a man should do. But in the latest episode, his girlfriend got pregnant."

Xu Siyi paused in her eating, her chopsticks still in place. She looked up and stared at Luo Lier, who was continuing to share her food.

"Senior Xu, don't you think this kind of plot is heartbreaking? Why didn't you make the second female lead's character so perfect? ​​She's so perfect, but she ends up getting hurt. Sigh, it really hurts my heart."

Xu Siyi remained silent.

"Senior Xu, why aren't you saying anything?"

say?

What a load of rubbish.

As she listened, Xu Siyi began to seriously suspect that the other person was making veiled accusations, or that they had... heard about her story.

Her previous romantic experiences and the huge heartbreak she suffered were almost identical to the story the other person had just described.

The male protagonist has a wife.

The second female lead is a good person.

What is mental inertia? What is preconceived notion?

Xu Siyi, who subconsciously connected the issue to herself, was clearly unable to maintain an objective mind, but she still sensed that something was wrong.

Her story is known only to her closest friends, such as Li Shurui and others.

Oh.

Correct.

And there's Boss Jiang.

How did Luo Li'er find out about her scars?
Could it be that Shurui and her husband told on them?
unrealistic.

Putting aside the fact that neither of them has a lisp, just considering their social standing and background...
Would someone be so bored as to gossip about her private life?

Then the problem is coming.

Is this girl alluding to herself?
Don't say you weren't warned.

Sure enough, putting aside depression for now, Xu Siyi was at least a little bit depressed.

"What to do? Just deal with it!"

As she poked at the rice grains with her chopsticks, Xu Siyi's tone inevitably wavered as she recalled her "dark history."

"what?"

Luo Li'er opened her eyes wide.

"if not?"

"Can't there be a happy ending?"

Looking into those dark and innocent eyes, Xu Siyi felt an increasing tightness in her chest.

"The ending of the Great Unity?"

She gave a cold laugh. "Tell me, how can it be a happy ending? This kind of terrible screenwriter writes this kind of plot just to disgust people. So what if she's a good woman? He has a family and children. Do you expect him to abandon his wife and children for you? The best ending is for the man to give you some compensation and for you to leave with dignity."

I got emotional.

This is a complete comparison with myself.

Luo Li'er, of course, didn't know this senior's story. Even though she could tell from the other person's face that she was someone with a story, she wasn't curious.

She only cared about the other person's analysis.

after all.

An outsider's perspective is clearer.

"No way. The male lead isn't a bad person, how could he just give him money and send him away? He wouldn't be that heartless..."

"Innocent!"

Xu Siyi's face darkened, and she poked rice grains off her plate, which fell onto the table. But at this moment, no one cared about wasting food.

"Men are all the same. They talk a good game, but they know exactly what's important. They have a scale in their hearts. The reason they haven't made a choice yet is that the time hasn't come. When they're forced to, hypocrites are willing to keep wearing their masks."

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Luo Li'er did not comment on the other party's opinion, but she noticed that the other party's tone was not right.

Xu Siyi didn't answer. She picked up a piece of rapeseed, put it in her mouth, and bit it off forcefully. "It's better not to watch this kind of terrible drama."

"But I really like the second female lead."

Luo Li'er really seemed like a little girl who was too immersed in her role. "Senior Xu, what would you do if you encountered this situation? How could you protect yourself?"

Xu Siyi looked up again, her eyes "strange," which made Luo Lier blink in confusion.

"...If it were me, I would die with them."

"Huh?" "If I'm not having a good time, no one else should either."

"Murder?"

Luo Li'er shook her head, "No. This kind of plot is too suggestive and won't pass censorship."

"No need to kill anyone. Make a scene, the bigger the better. Ruin that man's reputation."

really.

Humans.

They are all giants in words.

Luo Li'er, unaware that the other party, who had indeed experienced a similar situation, chose to back down and find a way out, continued chatting, "But what if the second female lead really loves the male lead? She won't be able to bear it."

"Why can't you bear it?"

Xu Siyi's breathing became labored. "That's a liar!"

"But he was really good to the second female lead. If he were single, he would be a perfect man."

What exactly is this "miracle drama"?
Xu Siyi realized at this moment that the other party was probably not trying to sabotage her, but was genuinely just discussing a TV series, because she had encountered a complete hypocrite who was purely using her as a tool. However, her emotions had already surged and she couldn't stop them.

"You mean, the second female lead loves him very much?"

Luo Li'er pursed her lips, remaining silent for only two seconds before nodding firmly, "Yes."

Xu Siyi's lips twitched, the curve sharp.

"Then there is another way to die together."

"what?"

"I need to find a way to get pregnant too."

Xu Siyi smiled seductively, "Anyway, it's the man you love. Being pregnant with the child of the person you love is a happy thing. At the same time, this child can also be your asset, perhaps adding some weight to your side of the scale. If you are still the one who is abandoned in the end, the child can also be a comfort."

Luo Li'er was lost in thought, staring blankly at her senior who was offering advice, though the senior was unaware that she was giving advice.

How about this method?

Xu Siyi asked with a laugh, her voice tinged with a kind of manic rage.

Luo Li'er snapped out of her reverie, remaining noncommittal as she held her chopsticks, simply saying, "The screenwriter definitely couldn't have come up with such a plot."

"That is."

Xu Siyi scoffed, "These days, TV shows are only for idiots. They talk about truth, goodness, and beauty, about positive energy, about the mainstream ideology, but look at this society, who isn't looking out for themselves?"

Luo Li'er remained silent, lowered her head, and began to eat her rice.

really.

Sharing can help shift your emotions.

What show?

After they finished their meal in quiet contemplation, Xu Siyi looked up, breaking the silence.

"what?"

"What's your name?"

I'd also like to go and observe?
"A short drama."

Luo Li'er picked up her plate. "I'm full. Senior, please continue eating."

"Wait for me a moment."

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going home to rest."

……

Now it was Xu Siyi's turn to say "Ah".

"Aren't you going to work this afternoon?"

"I'm not going anymore. I'll go tomorrow."

Luo Li'er left immediately.

What is her destiny?
Born with a life of fortune and nobility.

If you're destined to reap the rewards without so much effort, why bother working so hard?

Go downstairs.

drive.

Come back home.

"sister."

Open the door.

Enter the house.

"sister--"

Go upstairs.

Take a turn.

They even went to the bedroom.

My sister isn't here.

That was close.

This girl is really good at surprise attacks. She runs away without even asking for leave, and no one gets a word of it. If she's not careful, she'll get caught again.

Look.

It's wise to stay away from home.

It's safer on the bus.

Luo Li'er seemed a little disappointed at not catching—or rather, not finding—the person. Dejected, she slowly walked downstairs, holding onto the handrail. She went to the hall, sat on the sofa, grabbed a cushion, hugged it to her chest, raised her legs, leaned back, and curled up into a ball. She wasn't happy about her good fortune.

Compared to her own destiny, what she really wanted to know was her cousin's destiny.

"Rolling".

She suddenly sat up, crossed her legs, and hugged a pillow.

At this time, everyone is working hard.

Why don't we take this opportunity to go and ask Duanmu Liuli again?
Just as Luo Li'er was about to put her feet down, a strange smell suddenly wafted into her nose.

She sniffed.

What does it taste like?
Following the scent, she got up and eventually arrived at the trash can. Inside, there was a large brown paper bag with the words "Chinese medicine" clearly written on it.

medicine?
There is no third person in the house.

She didn't lose it.

So who else could have lost it?

Is my cousin sick?
Luo Li'er frowned and became nervous. She quickly squatted down and, without caring about the dirt, pulled out the brown paper bag.

Oh.

Besides traditional Chinese medicine, there is also the character "袋" (bag).

Luo Li'er opened it, and as the name suggests, it was filled with medicinal herbs, which she of course couldn't recognize.

What illness does my cousin have?
Why didn't you tell yourself?
and.

Why did you buy the medicine and then throw it away?

--why?
Naturally, it stemmed from trust in Boss Jiang, or rather, trust in the Taoist nun.

If you're still taking useless medicine, then the first thing you should treat is your brain.

"what."

Besides the unfinished herbs, there was also a piece of paper lying in the herbal medicine bag, crumpled into a ball.

Luo Li'er noticed, and enduring the pungent smell, reached inside and pulled out.

I was careless.

When you're not living alone, you should throw away some of your more private trash further away, because it might get found by someone else.

Of course.

Because of her work, Luo Li'er, who studies perfumes, is quite sensitive to smells.

Unfold the paper and smooth it out as much as possible. The result was both unexpected and not unexpected: a series of medicinal herbs were written on it.

"Angelica sinensis 10g, stir-fried white peony root 12g, prepared rehmannia root 12g, chuanxiong rhizome 6g, vinegar-processed cyperus rhizome 10g, bran-fried atractylodes macrocephala rhizome 12g, mulberry mistletoe 15g..."

Luo Li'er didn't know most of them, but at least one thing she understood.

This is the prescription.

What does it treat?

If I call my cousin, I know without a doubt she won't tell me, and even if she does, it definitely won't be the truth.

Luo Li'er frowned, stuffed the brown paper bag back into the trash can, stood up, and only took the prescription.

Traditional Chinese medicine uses a single prescription for each symptom, so if you want to know what illness you have, just ask for the prescription.

just.

Besides physiognomy, Taoist medicine is also a required subject.

Go find Duanmu Liuli.

Luo Li'er, who was already planning to go out, didn't delay any longer. She clutched the crumpled prescription tightly in her right hand and ran towards the door.

Someone should feel ashamed.

As someone who spends every day with her, she actually understands the wide range of uses of a Daoist nun less than Luo Li'er. (End of Chapter)
