"That seems to be true?" 037 pondered for a while, not knowing which direction his train of thought had strayed, and his tone suddenly became more cautious, "So what you mean is that you have now taken over the role of the male protagonist? Are you... really prepared to be monogamous?"
Lu Xiaoxiao:"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao:"If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death."
037:"Oh, sorry."
After a few seconds of silence, 037 suddenly said, "But isn't it a good thing Lu Jiaoyue? It will be better for us to push the plot if she listens to you!"
Seeing that 037's starting point was so utilitarian, Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless for a moment.
Intellectually she knew what 037 said was right, but emotionally it was still a bit hard to accept.
"No, I feel bad." After a moment of silence, she still said, "Lu Jiaoyue I like this person very much now. I really regard her as my sister, so I don't want to see her play a role that lives for others all the time."
"I feel like the author of Original Novel actually set her up as a person... once she identifies someone as a 'trusted person', she will completely follow that person's thoughts. It seems that she can't live without dedicating everything to someone, but she is obviously very good! For example, she is in music. His talent should be comparable to Lu Bochen's painting talent, but Original Novel didn't put too much words into describing it. He occasionally wrote that Lu Jiaoyue is good at playing the piano, as if to add interest to the romance between the male and female protagonists."
"Let me tell you, she can really study hard in this industry and become a singer-songwriter or artist. In time, her achievements will not be worse than Lu Bochen."
"Lu Jiaoyue is actually very malleable. She is fully capable of shining in her own field, but she hasn't realized it yet."
"Well... let me interrupt." 037 spoke weakly at this time, "What you said is theoretically correct, but if you really guide her like this, wouldn't it conflict with the emotional line? Gu Sipei is the kind of person who has a strong desire to control. With his character, how could he let his woman work hard outside? All the clips in Original Novel where readers shout that Tiantian is sweet are the kind of things he puts Lu Jiaoyue at home to pamper!"
Lu Xiaoxiao said with an expressionless "tsk": "So I say that these overbearing CEOs don't understand what equal and healthy love is at all, and they love people like pets. If I get along with such people, I won't feel comfortable."
Just as we were chatting here, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
Lu Xiaoxiao was interrupted. He subconsciously looked down at the screen and saw the voice call invitation initiated by "The Brave Hero with 36-pack Abs".
Oh, it's Qian Annie.
Lu Xiaoxiao usually has the habit of changing comments for all the people who added it, but at that time she felt that the online name Qian Annie was interesting and recognizable, so she left it alone without changing it.
Ji Yunhuai told her two days ago when the black-buying turmoil was settled, that the subsequent situation would be handled by Qian Annie. When she called now, it was probably something happened.
"Hey Annie, how are you doing there? It shouldn't be too much trouble, right?"
"Oh... it's not troublesome at all. I was ready to help you sue Chen Xiwan, but as soon as I sorted out the materials, I realized that my hard work was in vain." Qian Annie's voice on the other side sounded weak, and he would sigh every few words, "Chen Xiwan and her family are dead. It is estimated that they will be on the news in the next two days. You will not be able to get justice from her."
"Huh???" Hearing this unexpected news, Lu Xiaoxiao was also a little shocked and quickly asked, "How did they die? Suicide or homicide?"
"Well... it should be that Chen Xiwan wanted to commit suicide and dragged the whole family on his back? As far as I know, the forensic doctor has detected drug residue in everyone except Chen Xiwan. From this, it can be judged that Chen Xiwan first knocked out the whole family, then sealed the doors and windows and turned on the gas... Anyway, they all died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the end, and they were discovered by neighbors a few days later."
Lu Xiaoxiao was still in shock. He opened and closed his lips several times but couldn't find a suitable response. In the end, he could only reply blankly, "Ah... that's how it turned out to be."
Qian Annie noticed her complicated mood and quickly expressed comfort, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Don't think too much about it. It's not you who caused this. In the final analysis, it's their own fault! Think about it, this family has treated Chen Xiwan badly since they were children, Chen Xiwan's feelings towards them were originally twisted. When she was doing well in the past, she could still go back and help her to satisfy her desire for attention since she was a child. Now that she is not doing well, those family members are still making trouble with her. Chen Xiwan is not really a temperless person, so it is not surprising that she will eventually break out in revenge."
"Oh, by the way, the date she did these things was the day when the black information about you was exposed on the Internet. It seems that she committed suicide regardless of the last resort. She probably didn't know that the reversal on the Internet would be so fast. Oh, this is so tragic... I hope she can repent and be a good person in the next life!"
"No, I didn't think too much about it, don't worry." After hearing such a long list of details from Qian Annie, Lu Xiaoxiao finally regained his composure and his tone became calm again, "I'm just a little shocked to see something like this happen so close to me. I don't want to feel any guilt towards Chen Xiwan. It was her own choice and has nothing to do with me."
Although he spoke calmly, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes couldn't help but darken when he thought of Chen Xiwan's words "People like you who had a happy childhood can't understand my feelings" when they last met.
She didn't refute it at the time, but she knew in her heart how ridiculous the other party's accusation was.
Born in mud, if you don't make progress spontaneously, how can you save yourself from water and fire?
She has come out of it a long time ago and will no longer be hurt by the past.
... never the same as Chen Xiwan.
After calming down, Lu Xiaoxiao spoke to the phone again, "By the way, did the people you just mentioned who died include her cousin?"
"Huh? Let me see... this one doesn't seem to be there." The sound of Qian Annie flipping through information came from the receiver. When it calmed down, her voice began to become confused, "It's strange that she let her cousin go. It's obvious that this guy behaved the most stupid way towards her. I'm afraid he was really tortured and developed some kind of Stockholm syndrome!"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Oh, in that case, why don't you help sue Chen Haiqing."
Qian Annie:"???"
"Hey, hey? Why are you suing him? Are you planning to avenge Chen Xiwan? This is too reckless!"
"How could this be the starting point? It's just because this person is really a bastard, okay!!!" The misunderstood Lu Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he explained to her angrily and funnyly, "If you let this person go unpunished, who knows if he will harm other little girls in the future, so it's better to send him to the police!"
"Oh, that does make sense. Chen Haiqing should be considered a pedophile to a certain extent. Generally, people with this kind of fetish are indeed very likely to commit the crime again... Okay, I'll take care of this!"
Hearing Qian Annie become full of ambition in an instant, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "Hahahahaha! It sounds like we Detective Qian are very experienced in various cases! So professional, I love it!"
"Hehehehe... No, actually, the cases I handle most are about emotional disputes. Master used to like to let me practice on these!"
"Ah, is that so?" Lu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Then if you see too many cases like this, will you stop believing in love?"
"Humph... It doesn't matter. I don't pursue that at all, I just like to investigate cases!" Lu Xiaoxiao asked, and Qian Annie on the other side laughed in her tone. It was so cheerful that one could imagine the smiling expression of the cute girl with ponytails. "Love can be tiring sometimes. If I become a love brain like your elder brother, it will be over. My ideal is to always be a detective, at least until I am eighty years old!"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "... Don't shout slogans and get trampled!"
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and the phone call came to an end.
After making an appointment to go shopping and eating together another day, Qian Annie on the other side finally hung up the phone.
And 037, who had been holding it in for a long time, also condensed into reality, and finally found the opportunity to complain, "Host, you are as enthusiastic as ever. Now you have to meddle in the affairs of Chen Haiqing, a guy I have never met before. It's great, great."
Lu Xiaoxiao just smiled with his eyes bent when he heard this. He neither replied nor disliked the other party for talking too much.
She raised her eyes and looked out the window, just in time to see the blue sky, clear and cloudless, clear and without haze.
"If it were in the real world, no matter how much I resent such people, it would be difficult for them to get the sanctions they deserve. How can I even put it this way... Most of the time, evildoers who are not exposed get away with justice. This is the helplessness in reality."
At this point, Lu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, turned his gaze away from the window, and blinked at Blond-Locked Boy: "But this is a novel world, and I am a special time traveler, so there is still something I can do~"
"Since this is in a novel, let justice go where it belongs!"
