How Do You Know That Much?

Liu Qing could not help but tell Xiao Wen what he thought.

"Xiao Wen, don't blame me for being direct. I think you're very unclear about your position. You're one of those people who lacks self-awareness."

The light in Xiao Wen's eyes dimmed with disappointment when she heard that.

She was not that lacking in self-awareness. She knew that she was at best not ugly and was a long way from what people would consider as beautiful. Although she was young and she had very good skin, her height was her Achilles' heel.

She knew that her looks had not reached the point where she could depend on it to achieve a leap in social class.

Some women could earn money just by lying down. Some women not only could not manage to earn money by lying down, but they still had to subsidize the rent and utilities.

Even so, she still felt a little hurt when Liu Qing pointed it out.

Liu Qing continued, "With your looks, why do you want to wear black silk stockings? Is black silk stockings suitable for you? It's not suitable for you! If you really want to wear silk, you can only wear white silk."

"Huh?"

Xiao Wen looked at Liu Qing in surprise.

You perv, how do you know that much?

"What huh? Am I wrong?" Liu Qing glared at her. "Look at your casual clothes. What the hell are these? You dress like a 30-year-old woman. You're just a teenage girl. Why are you pretending to look mature?"

"Those clothes are cheap," Wen explained softly.

"But that doesn't mean they suit you!" Liu Qing said. "For your age and your size, you should tie two ponytails, wear a JK outfit and long socks. Either black socks or white socks are fine. What the hell is black silk? Does it match your image?"

"You're right, daddy," Xiao Wen admitted humbly.

Liu Qing waved his fist at her.

Xiao Wen quickly corrected herself. "Brother Qing, you're right!"

"You can also wear Hanfu or Lo dresses," Liu Qing said. "In short, you should not go down the flirtatious route with your figure. Being fair, young and thin, these are your advantages!"

"Brother Qing, you know it too well!" Xiao Wen quickly flattered him.

It suddenly struck Liu Qing that it seemed quite indecent of him to understand these things. Only a stinky otaku would understand these things so well.

He coughed and said awkwardly, "Um, these are just some ideas I have from scrolling through the video app these days. They might not all be correct. Just use my ideas as a reference and don't take it too seriously."

Xiao Wen whispered, "Brother Qing, then I'll wear it for you tonight, okay?"

Liu Qing made a halting gesture.

"No need for that. I won't give you money even if you wear it for me. It doesn't have to be like this between us. What I mean is, if you want to become an internet celebrity in the future, you can do something along that line and seduce some pervs to give you tips so that you can solve your financial difficulties. That's something you can consider. As for me, we're already so familiar with each other, so forget it."

Although Xiao Wen had expected this outcome, she could not help but feel a little disappointed.

For people struggling at the bottom of society, be it a man or a woman, who would not want a rich person to drop from heaven to help them solve their predicament?

If Liu Qing was not interested, then she could not force him. Otherwise, they might not even be able to remain as friends.

She was a person with a fairly good mindset. Although she was disappointed, she recovered after a short while.

When the food arrived, she ate like there was no tomorrow.

Liu Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

For him, there were very few people in the world whom he knew well. Xiao Wen could be considered to be the one closest to him recently.

If he still had any friends in this world, then Xiao Wen would definitely count as one.

Perhaps she was the only one.

He thought it would be good for the two of them to remain as just friends. It was easier to get along in this manner.

If money or feelings were added into the mix, the relationship would definitely change and then, he might not even have one friend left at the end.

After dinner, the two of them took a stroll down the street. As they walked, Xiao Wen grabbed Liu Qing's hand and he did not shake it off. They held hands as they shopped.

In the past, when Liu Qing and Huo Zhenzhen first got together, the two of them would also walk around hand in hand.

However, they had not held hands since about a year or two back.

It was probably because Huo Zhenzhen felt that it was too embarrassing for an office worker to hold hands with a security guard. If her colleagues saw them, she would never be able to look them in the eyes again.

It would also hinder her from finding a rich husband.

Thinking about his past, Liu Qing suddenly felt a little emotional.

Some people remained as strangers no matter how long you had been with them or how close you were in the past.

It was only after they separated that he saw clearly that she had never treated him truly or sincerely.

You think you have found love, but from the point of view of the other party, you are just a person who would appear whenever she needs company and the only one willing to help her when she needs help.

If Huo Zhenzhen continued to stay at Jiayi as a security guard, the two of them might be able to make do with each other for the rest of their lives. They could have children and grow old together.

If Liu Qing had been more realistic in that life and given up more than 10 years of hatred to accept Ding Yun and become a rich second generation like what he was doing in this life, perhaps Huo Zhenzhen would have quickly ended her relationship with that manager and pretended to love him very much to marry him as soon as possible.

That manager and that betrayal would seem like it never happened.

She would live with him and lie to him for their entire lives.

Liu Qing would be living happily with a woman who had already betrayed him.

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt glad.

He had a lot of gratitude for this rebirth.

In that life, his life was like a pathetic joke.

In this life, he saw things a lot clearly and did not want to repeat that joke of a life.

Liu Qing did not want to know if Xiao Wen possessed the type of snobbishness that would make her turn into another Huo Zhenzhen.

He did not want to put her human nature to the test.

No one's human nature could stand up to a test.

That included himself.

Did he not give up 10 over years' worth of hatred and choose to forgive the heartless mother who had abandoned his father and him in the first place?

It was not because of forgiveness, it was just for the sake of money.

Everyone was just living humbly, giving up something in exchange for something else.

In terms of character, no one was a saint. There was no need for anyone to look down on another.

As for whether such an exchange was worth it, he could only say that only one would know best by one's personal experiences.

If one lived too foolishly, as life went on, one would become a joke.

But one could not live too soberly too.

If one lived too soberly, one would see all the despicable things in the world and how people schemed against one another. That would be too tiring.

It is good to be in the current situation.

I don't need to know if you will trample on my true heart in the future after I give it to you. I just need to seal my heart and give it to no one.

We can be friends and we can only be friends.

In this way, I will never get hurt.

When the two of them passed by a fashion bazaar, Xiao Wen suddenly stopped in front of a stall selling all kinds of stockings and long socks. She turned to ask Liu Qing a question.

"Brother Qing, do you want to buy any? I'll wear whatever you buy."

Liu Qing rejected her mercilessly. "I'm leaving for Yangcheng early tomorrow morning. I'm going straight to bed when I get home. I don't have time to waste on you."
