Chen Zhaijiu is Zheng Xici's nominal "benefactor", the culprit behind her fate of being "unaccompanied by no one in Beijing" and the villain behind the title of "Western Beijing Slut".
It would have been as if she had not received Chen Zhaijiu's charity money by mistake, but had died of diarrhea, unable to enter the cage of Chen Zhaijiu's giving and receiving.
Then she thought, she would not be obsessed with his amorous feelings all her life, and she would not end up in a miserable life.
———
She always has questions and answers in her mind.
"Can I kiss Mr. Chen?"
"No."
"Then can I get close to Mr. Chen?"
"Don't take the initiative to approach."
"What if I leave Mr. Chen?"
"You can't leave."
Throughout her life, Mr. Chen, who flattered her, also flattered herself, who was on the road to clinging to others.
