Chapter 24: A Friend Spot Worth 20

Su Che often felt like he was living in a dream.

Because of the occasional thought that pops into my head

Always unrealistic.

I can't say whether it's emotional fastidiousness or some other reason holding me back.

When dealing with people or things in reality,

I always subconsciously want to avoid and isolate myself.

Step outside the story. Observe detachedly, and you won't get hurt.

This has always been Su Che's viewpoint.

Because I had very few friends when I was a child, I could count them on one hand.

Therefore, the viewpoint remains unchanged.

until now.

An Qing could tell that he didn't like getting close to people.

This "person" is not simply someone of the same sex or the opposite sex.

To put it extremely, it can be understood as:

"Human beings".

He seemed to have no belief in the existence of genuine and passionate love.

Even if he recounted his complicated family background and the reason for the maid's departure in a nonchalant tone, I can still interpret it as his childhood experiences shaping his current habit of avoiding everyone and viewing them as deadly poison.

[Besides the fake me.]

An Qing was quite self-aware.

It is also very clear that

In order to get closer to him,

It was created and improved upon with utmost effort.

Smear his information, observe his habits, follow his path, and understand his quirks.

He uses the ID "Waiting for a Miracle" on some of his social media accounts.

Who are they waiting for?

[Inspiration for creation?]

Are they just unattainable wishes?

Just like he said.

An Qing rarely guesses correctly.

But she can gamble and guess.

Even if we take a step back and try to figure out what we can do ourselves, we can still do it.

such as,

The manuscript he commissioned,

Most of them are landmines.

Based on this intelligence

Transform yourself into the kind of person he likes.

Make yourself look exactly like his OC (Original Fictional Character).

In this way, it's as if his dream has been brought into reality, and his life has entered into the form he created himself.

As renowned cosplayer Ms. Tang once said, "The ultimate cosplay strategy is to cater to the recipient's preferences, showing only the image they most want to see to those who are important to you, thereby achieving your core objective."

This truthful quote from a famous person is the most crucial step in the plan.

It is also an essential step towards the final outcome.

An Qing was very clear that

All of Su Che's commissioned articles were for the female lead in his own works.

And the female lead is most likely a virtual character.

First, an impression is formed, then a design is created. To bring that to life, to make it tangible and real, an artist must be found to bring it to life.

Processes and demands are like the upstream and downstream of a stream.

For authors who take their work to an obsessive degree, this is an indispensable factor.

An Qing knew that Su Che was a complete pervert.

So twisted that once they've decided on something, they'll never slacken their efforts.

He treats the female protagonists in his works like daughters.

Therefore, I began to work hard quietly one night after I had grown up.

"I don't understand landmines, but I can learn about them."

"I know you like it, so I'll change the skin."

"I will become her, even if... it's all an illusion."

"Now that I see you in real life like this, I can understand to some extent why I was abandoned."

"Your indifference is innate, stemming from your family."

"She had a privileged upbringing but no golden childhood; she was always alone. If you were a girl, you probably would have become a real landmine girl by now."

"Therefore, this personality trait is traceable. Only by truly understanding your heart can I truly help you, and..."

And become one with you.

Late at night, An Qing lay in bed, deep in thought.

……

Time flows and changes.

Monday has arrived.

"Anqing, I'm going to school now. Oh right, you don't need to open your eyes, I've prepared your meal. I ordered Sam's family-sized cod sandwich and fresh milk with a brand new expiration date."

When the delivery person brings your food, remember to open the door and receive it. Then eat your breakfast properly. Okay?

The person is still unconscious.

Then Su Che's calm yet slightly busy voice came to his ears.

Time flies.

An Qing turned over.

The movements were casual.

The straps of her nightgown sagged down her smooth shoulders.

Unfortunately, he had already turned away, his gaze no longer on her.

"I'll wait for you to come home obediently, Cheche."

She murmured,

It spoke in a tone that wasn't that of a house cat, yearning for something.

"Okay, I understand. I'm not working tonight; my part-time boss gave me the day off, so I should be back around this afternoon. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything, okay?"

"Well."

A surge of warmth welled up in the girl's heart, and she wanted to ask:

Can I contact you if I miss you?

However, he didn't say it.

I'm going out.

Su Che put on his coat and left the room in his black Martin boots.

Click.

"..."

Listen to the lingering sound of the lock.

He sighed.

For some reason,

relieved.
