That day, on Life TV, I saw the lyricist whose love songs had filled the streets and conquered Hong Kong. Calm and composed, he said only a few simple words: “When lovers reach the end... at the very end, maybe all that's left is someone to share a meal with, someone to watch a movie with. You don't have to go to the cinema or a restaurant alone, and when you have sexual needs, you'll have someone by your side. I think that's all it comes down to.”
Mr. Lin is dear to my heart, but perhaps even he wouldn't understand that there is nothing sadder than sharing a table with someone for three whole years and still not being lovers.
Lao Jiazhuo and I were just such a pair.
Reader review:
This book is an epic in my life. Note that I mean only in my life. There are just a few other books like it, such as Past Events in Lichuan and Passing By. Calling it an epic may be overstating things, but for someone as insignificant as me, a book that can make me reflect on life's impermanence overnight, cherish what's before me, and still move me the same way every time I reread it, is an epic.
No matter who hurt whom in either half of the story, we also see the extraordinary side of each person. The affection and innocence in the first half, and the childhood memories they shared that could never be erased, are why, no matter how much hesitation and pain the second half holds, we still feel sorry for Yingying and can't bring ourselves to blame her. Some people say Lao Er is a scumbag because he kept a mistress and remarried, and that makes him impure. I really can't agree. First of all, I never clearly saw any betrayal in his relationships with women in the story. As for the remarriage, Miss Qian was quite clear about it. And about keeping a mistress, Lao Er said this: “Yingying, if you stay by my side, you'll naturally trust me. If you no longer stay by my side, then none of it matters anyway.” Maybe we're all still young and think love is innocent and must never be sullied. But for Lao Jiazhuo, who had suppressed his feelings since childhood, and for a mature adult man, that was already a very clear statement. In life, we encounter so many things. Gradually, we realize that some things we insisted on, some things we felt certain of, are not so certain after all, and don't need to be clung to.
Premise: Jiang Yingying is invincible
It's really disgusting. The main character vomited. People must have correct views. Don't be blinded by shit. Even a gorgeous shawl can't block the stench of shit.
Mmp, I was really moved after reading the main text, but now after reading the extras and everyone's comments, it really disgusts me. Why do all the authors I like have this kind of urinary behavior? It's really the author's own reaction
The male protagonist is a scumbag, stop being a scumbag, he can't be cleansed, he is tolerant to everyone, but he is cruel to the female protagonist, screw it, bullshit love, why didn't I think about leaving some way for the female protagonist at the time, later I regretted it and wanted to make up for it, it's too late, every time I write this kind of scene of reunion, it just makes me feel that the female protagonist is cheap, I just hurt her anyway, and once I make up for it, it will be fine. I feel that the pain at that time has passed, as if it doesn't exist anymore, screw it.
I'm very curious, how did Li Siler "serve" the male protagonist in those two months, making him willing to pay a large amount of money and do his best to arrange her future? Even ten years later, he still treats her differently and responds to her requests, regardless of the risk of being discovered by his wife? Such kindness is far better than the unsympathetic and unjust treatment he had towards the heroine. What kind of service was it that Li Siler had but the original heroine didn't have, so she could mercilessly kick out the wife who loved him deeply? Is this really just a fling? If I insist on saying yes, then these two months must have been extremely erotic... I'm really curious.
Scumbag. The male protagonist is a scumbag, and the female protagonist is cheap.
Every time I read this chapter, I feel troubled, why would I make an exception for Li Siler? Lao Jiazhuo's love is scum, and do men always have bad qualities?
An inexplicable divorce, then an inexplicable marriage, and an inexplicable support that was written in such a way that he was deeply affectionate to death. The male protagonist was really ruined.
I don't know who the prototype of the heroine is, but Li Siler is probably the shadow of you, the author.
Ten years later, I think the extra story can be written like this. The male protagonist may have been married long ago but still misses the mistress. The female protagonist's dark heart is not to get divorced and have sex with other men. Then the male protagonist and the prostitute mistress can be reconciled. Shundai, tell me how the child can be impotent like you.
This Li Si'er is so disgusting. Why did you create this character to make the male protagonist scumbag?
