Chapter 334 (2/2)
She would not shy away from communicating with the opposite sex. Females had their own interesting points, but so did males. Getting to know more people would be helpful in creating iconic characters as well.
Han Leng’s love letters were rather interesting to Zhao Youyue. She wanted to see how many non-repeating love letters could be produced from the Great Scholar Han’s pen. She kept a full collection of his letters and took great care of them.
When you’re alive, you should not stop searching for happy things. If you think that being an eye-catching protagonist can make you happy, then put effort into becoming one. If you think that being a passerby and watching the clowns performing from your silent corner would give you happiness, then be a passerby.
Zhao Youyue considered herself open-minded. Nothing could make her unhappy. Yet, she had been able to bring happiness to others through her live streams and music.
By the time Zhao Youyue and the great writer Ou Yang parted ways, she was already calling him “Uncle Ou.” That really pleased the middle-aged man who lived by his lonesome. He used to hate naughty kids. He considered them the primary cause of him remaining unmarried.
Zhao Youyue made Ou Yang looked at children more favorably now. In Ou Yang’s eyes, Zhao Youyue was still a high school student. She was certainly a child.
Only later did he realize that the primary cause of him not able to find his other half, was because he had placed too much in his pursuit of perfection. He was the odd one out. Those times when he got along with women on blind dates, he would always get straight to the point. He would first admit that he was a virgin. Then he would ask the woman if she was a virgin. He would only be interested in pursuing a relationship if the answer was ‘yes.’
His logic was flawless. He was already in his 30s, and he had kept himself chaste. Why would he not deserve to get a virgin as his wife?
However, the woman would consider Ou Yang neurotic. What era was this guy living in? Go search at a nearby kindergarten, then! This guy’s still a virgin in his 30s, he had to be bad with women! He had to be abnormal!
Back then, Ou Yang had barely picked up as a writer. He was in a tough situation. He had no car, no house. Everything about him was tragic.
Of course, he did not see it that way. As long as he adheres to writing for a lifetime, he would eventually find success.
Now, Ou Yang looked at Zhao Youyue as if she was his own daughter. Such a good girl. She was so respectful to him, so beautiful and intelligent. She even had such great musical talent, and had a deeply ingrained passion for literature….
And so it was. Lady Zhao had successfully built a good relationship with an abnormal uncle writer who did not appear abnormal during this New Year’s Eve.
Ou Yang was not abnormal indeed. His long years of remaining a virgin had entirely killed off his libido. It was because of this that he was able to write such extremely cold, rational characters who never let emotions get in the way.
If such a character appeared in reality, everyone would only consider him abnormal
Ou Yang actually wanted all his readers to judge his situation. What wrong is there for a male virgin to search for a virgin wife?
If they weren’t, of course they would no longer reserve the rights to ask for virgins as their other halves.
