1083 Perplexed and Smitten 143 (2/2)
He picked up her phone and said, \”Let me see.\”
She tried to snatch her phone back from him and said, \”There's nothing much to see.\”
Xiao Chenyang raised his hand high above, causing Fang Erlan to miss. He dodged and tapped on the screen, which lit up instantly.
Her Weibo page popped up the moment he unlocked the mobile phone.
After reading the latest post she had published, he turned to glance at her and said, \”Your words lack accuracy.\”
\”Why?\”
\”Bliss is when you get to live with the person you love. What's so blissful about living alone?\”
Pursing her lips, she said, \”Even though you may have a point, I can't publish that.\”
He understood why she had said that. He looked at the screen again, and a number that was typed in red caught his attention — 10,865.
He tapped on the number, after which the page refreshed.
Unread messages: 1025.
Unread comments: 5685.
Likes: 4053.
Entertainment news updates: 102.
\”Why are all these unopened and unread? Don't you read these comments at all?\” he asked in surprise.
\”There's nothing much to read. I only do so once in a while.\”
He opened every comment and began reading them.
He continued to scroll down the page, growing more and more infuriated with each comment he had read.
Noticing the grave expression on his face, Fang Erlan said, \”They're all just criticizing me. Stop reading them.\”
With a sullen expression on his face, he took out a piece of paper and a pen. Seeing that he was writing something on the paper, she asked, \”What are you writing?\”
\”I'm writing down the usernames of all the accounts that have criticized you.\”
Fang Erlan stopped him and asked, \”What for? There are so many haters. Can you really finish writing down all of their usernames?\”
He paused in his actions and looked at her solemnly. \”Quit being an actress, will you?\”
\”Why…? I enjoy being an actress.\”
\”I don't like reading these harsh comments about you.\”
\”Stop reading them, then. Out of sight, out of mind. Nowadays, I rarely ever read those comments on my Weibo posts. Do you know why those haters enjoy making such malicious remarks?\”
\”Why?\”
\”Precisely because they want me to read those comments. They want me to feel upset and attacked after reading all those verbally-abusive words. They're hoping that I would be affected. However, what they don't know is… I don't even bother reading their comments at all. Ignoring them is the only way to keep my inner peace. Everyone is raised differently, and you can't expect each and every single person to treat others with respect and have manners like you do. Otherwise, why would there be so many villains in this world? Since we can't change society, we can only change ourselves and learn to adapt,\” said Fang Erlan, who suddenly felt relieved.
Xiao Chenyang put down his pen and walked toward the bed. He handed her her mobile phone and said, \”Since you've said that, it just means that you're genuinely not bothered by those comments.\”
She took it from him and asked, \”Why are you dressed in such a manner? Isn't it warm?\”
\”Not at all.\” He then untied the ribbon around his robe and began undressing himself brazenly in front of her.
Fang Erlan closed her eyes and lay down motionlessly. \”Can you stop stripping in front of me?\” she chided.
\”Why?\”
\”I don't like it.\”
\”Oh? But I like it very much. Do you want to watch some DVDs?\” he asked.
\”Sure, I like watching romance films.\”
\”Alright.\” He had already placed a disc inside the DVD player long ago.
He turned around and opened a bottle of liquor. He then poured a glass of wine for her and another one for himself, which they then chugged in one go.
She had a huge fright that night and decided to have a few drinks, only to discover that it tasted rather pleasant.
