"You don't get it, do you? This is called advancing by retreating," Ye Li tapped Lin Ke's head and explained slowly, "That dumbass Ye Xiu, after all, was brought up by Ye Jinian himself. Ordinary tricks can't make him devoted. The girl just now, on one hand, she's accepting Ye Xiu's ambiguity, and on the other, she's self-reliant and strong, feels good, right? Doesn't she seem just like those physically-disabled but mentally-strong heroines in romance novels? Then the male lead finds this woman particularly interesting, falls deeper and eventually they end up together."
Indeed it feels good, Lin Ke eagerly asked, "Which novel?"
"The one you gave me last time," Ye Li said, "Different soup but same medicine, actually pretty similar."
Lin Ke: "..." I suspect we're not reading the same novel. "Then are you planning to tell Liu Ling?"
