Sweet but Stupid

"Next up, Miss Sun, please."

The video connected, and two young women appeared on screen.

One was Sun Luo, and the other was her best friend, Wang Dandan.

However...

The very first thing Wang Dandan said made everyone in the livestream's jaw drop!

"You fraud!! Give me back my boyfriend!!! Fraud! What kind of master are you? Boohoo, give me back my boyfriend!!"

Sun Luo shrugged helplessly at the camera. "Master, the police have already released their findings and confirmed that Dandan's boyfriend really is a wanted criminal. But this idiot still refuses to believe it. She insists the police made a mistake and says her boyfriend is a good person who could never kill anyone. No matter what I say, she won't believe me. She keeps demanding that you give her another boyfriend."

"Holy crap, this is what a girl with zero IQ looks like when she's in love! I give up! She won't even believe the police!"

"Seeing this girl, I suddenly understand where the phrase 'silly girl' came from!"

"Is this what they mean by sweet but stupid?"

"No, don't insult that phrase. This is called being completely unreasonable!"

Xiao Yu was rather speechless, too.

If she wouldn't even believe the findings released by the police, what else was there to say?

"Miss Sun, what would you like me to divine for you today?"

Sun Luo said, "Find her a boyfriend first! Isn't she demanding that you give her another one? Master, tell her when her true love will appear."

Wang Dandan wiped her tears as she sobbed, "I don't want some other boyfriend! I only want He Lei! Give He Lei back to me! He could never kill anyone! Boohoo, you're all frauds! You fraudulent streamer, don't you just want to scam me out of my money? I'll send you gifts, so give He Lei back to me! Just tell me how much you want!"

Sun Luo said, "Master, please ignore her. He Lei was her first love. She just can't accept it. Once she finds her true love, she'll be grateful to you."

"Is this woman stupid?"

"She's not stupid. A con artist manipulated her feelings, and she can't accept it yet, so she's made up a story to fool herself."

"Exactly. A lot of people with schizophrenia are like this. They won't believe the truth, only the illusions they invent! She really loves that guy!"

"The best way to heal from one relationship is to find an even better one!"

Xiao Yu sighed with pity.

It really was quite tragic for this girl's first love to end like this. Everyone invested particularly deeply in their first love.

"Miss Wang Dandan, I'm sorry to tell you this, but no matter how much you love that man, he is a wanted criminal, and he doesn't love you at all. Following your original path, you would have moved in with him after graduating this year. Next year, at twenty-three, you would have become pregnant, but he would have refused to marry you."

"At twenty-four, you would have given birth. He would have pretended to agree to marry you and asked you for a million to buy a home, saying you would each pay half. When you couldn't come up with it, you would have gone home, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself, forcing your parents to scrape together the money by selling everything they could."

"But what you wouldn't have known was that your mother was already seriously ill by then. Those savings were the money she needed to save her life. In fact, she was already reluctant to spend money on her own treatment. After giving it to you, she would have been even less willing to seek treatment. But your father wouldn't have wanted to give up, so he would have sold their home."

"After you gave He Lei the money, he would have said he wanted to move to a smaller city and buy a bigger home. You would have believed him again and gone with him. The moment you left the train station, you would have been abducted."

"He would have taken your money, while you would have contracted HIV at twenty-seven. Your value would have dropped drastically, and you would have managed to escape and return to this city."

"You would have thought you could start over, only to find strangers living in your home when you returned. Your parents, meanwhile, would already have been living in urns."

"Because of you, your mother would have died after a failed operation, and your father would have followed her. You would have broken down, but by then, no amount of regret could change anything."

When Xiao Yu finished, the viewers were dumbfounded, and the chat filled with exclamation marks.

"Holy... that's terrifying!"

"Thank goodness the master stepped in and saved her. Otherwise, that would have been horrific!"

"But does this girl really have to be that ridiculously stupid?"

"Ridiculous? I don't think it's ridiculous at all. Just look at her now. She's still giving the master trouble. The facts are right in front of her, and she still has the nerve to call him a fraud! She's hopelessly stupid!"

But Wang Dandan refused to believe it.

"Impossible! Impossible! You're lying! He Lei isn't the kind of person you're describing!! You're lying!!"

Smack!!!

A resounding slap!

Wang Dandan clutched her cheek, stunned.

Sun Luo had slapped her, hard enough to leave a blood-red handprint.

After slapping her, Sun Luo's face was livid with anger, and tears ran down her own cheeks.

"How much longer are you going to keep being an idiot? You're still obsessing over that murderer? So what if he loves you? So what if he doesn't? What difference does it make whether you believe it or not? None of that matters, okay??"

"Didn't you hear what the master said? Your mother is seriously ill! Seriously ill! Seriously ill!! Do your parents' lives mean that little to you?"

"Your mother will be seriously ill in two years and dead within five. That means something must already be wrong with her now, and something serious at that! Haven't you even considered taking her to the hospital for a checkup? If she gets checked now, she might still be cured!"

"Or are you so selfish that you don't care whether she lives or dies at all?? Is a man all you can think about? All you want is a man? Your parents don't matter at all??"

Wang Dandan froze for a long time, as though that slap had finally knocked some sense into her.

As if struck by a sudden revelation, she jolted.

She stopped sobbing.

"They're my parents. How could I not care?"

"Master, then tell me exactly what illness my mom has. I'll take her to the hospital for a checkup right now. If you're right, I... I'll believe you're not a fraud. I'll believe my boyfriend is a murderer!"

The word "boyfriend" left the viewers feeling that she was beyond reason.

"Still calling him her boyfriend? My blood pressure's going up! Fuck, I really want to answer for the master: believe it or don't, what the hell does it have to do with me?"

"Exactly. Even now, she still wants the master to prove himself, and she's still calling that guy her boyfriend. Why should he prove anything to you? How many times has the master already proved himself?"

"How did your parents ever end up with such a stupid daughter? I give up! Just let the world end. I'm tired!"

"If I could find a girlfriend this stupid someday, I'd laugh myself awake! But if my future daughter were this stupid, I'd fucking strangle her at birth!"

By the end, the livestream was flooded with insults, and it was Xiao Yu who spoke up for her.

"Everyone, stop insulting her. She actually believed it long ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't be on this video call today. She'd be making a huge scene at the police station."

"She just can't accept it and is deceiving herself. By insisting that I'm a 'fraud,' she's trying to deny that her boyfriend is a 'murderer.' That's all."

"Even now, she's only trying to deny that her mother will die of illness in a few years. Otherwise, she wouldn't be calling me Master."

"She cares about her parents more than you think. That man deceived her and toyed with her feelings, and she can't free herself from it."

"She isn't the one at fault. That damned wanted criminal is. She's only a victim."
