Chapter 1496 - 1508: Heartthrob Girlfriend (16)
"Stop lying to us. If you didn’t have deep feelings for that person, why would you drag it on until now and refuse to get married?"
"That bastard from the Shao Family still thinks you can’t forget him, that’s why you’re like this. Even after getting married, he’s still up to something, and he’s somehow managed to send a message through someone to me."
Mr. Luo angrily waved his hand.
Suddenly, Luo Shui’s eyes turned cold, and she spoke fiercely, "Then let him never bounce back again."
Whenever Shao Sanfeng was mentioned, Luo Shui felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.
"Don’t change the subject, we are discussing your marriage now." Mother Luo sternly pulled the topic back on track.
Mr. Luo secretly shrugged and gave Luo Shui a helpless look.
Luo Shui: ...
Mr. Luo also joined the conversation, speaking gently, "Shui Shui, you’re not young anymore; you can’t keep making us parents worry."
They were not afraid of their daughter not getting married; they were afraid she’d lose herself over a man and get involved in household drama.
That odd behavior of Su was already legendary in their circle.
"A few days ago, that girl from the Li Family supposedly angrily ditched her fiancé who she was about to get engaged to, all because of Su Li. And in the Yan Family, there was... also a breakup with a childhood boyfriend..." Mr. Luo stopped, seemingly unsure how to convey his thoughts.
This man is not just a charming playboy; he’s a femme fatale. In ancient times, he’d be the type to bring disaster to a nation.
Although describing a man this way isn’t quite right, these were the only words Mr. Luo could think of to evaluate him.
Watching as their family speculated more and more bizarrely, Luo Shui couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted, "We’re just simple friends."
"Moreover, those girls you said are bewitched also just treat Su Li as a good girlfriend."
Sisters are like limbs, men are like clothes.
For the sake of siblings, what’s the harm in severing a few clothes?
Besides, those ditched men weren’t good ones. Thankfully, Su Li, the good girlfriend, noticed early, or the sisters would have suffered.
"Sister, stop denying it. No one truly becomes ’girlfriends’ with the opposite sex." To this, Luo Shui’s brothers sneered.
Being men themselves, they understood the most hidden thoughts of men.
Luo Shui anxiously scratched her scalp and inwardly apologized to Su Li.
Then she slowly said, "Have you seen someone who steals his girlfriend’s desserts and acts more princess-like than his girlfriend?"
"Have you seen a boyfriend who is more charming than his girlfriend?" Luo Shui shamefully wanted to bury her face and flee.
Compared to Su Li, the qualities they were proud of were reduced to mere scrap iron.
What Luo Shui didn’t say was that their subconscious behaviors now completely mimicked Su Li.
Who knows if Su Li was hurt by an ex-girlfriend; anyways, after the breakup, he seemed to liberate himself, flamboyantly spreading charm all over, hooking one little damsel after another back.
Luo Shui found it funny thinking about those innocent girls who approached Su Li with admiration only to find out about his essence and end up as if struck by lightning.
With such complicated feelings, they, the old friends, simultaneously repel and anticipate newcomers joining.
"...Su, Su Li is actually such a man... Didn’t see that coming." Mr. Luo stammeringly asked, "Is he always this effeminate?" This type is indeed suitable for being a girlfriend.
Mr. Luo shuddered at the thought of a macho man putting on a delicate, princess-like appearance...
Mother Luo pursed her lips and wasn’t swayed by her daughter, directly asked, "So if that’s the case, why don’t you want to get married?"
Luo Shui fell silent momentarily, and as the Luo Family worried they might have touched some painful memories of the Luo family’s little princess, Luo Shui suddenly lifted her head and smiled brightly.
"If you’ve tasted the utmost tenderness and care from a man, everyone else is just settling."
Luo Sui said lightly, "He can remember every girl’s menstrual period, thoughtfully preparing brown sugar water and heating patches."
"On every holiday, every girl receives a surprise. He knows every girl’s likes and dislikes; the favorite dishes are always placed right in front of us. All your worries, without needing to be spoken, he understands."
"After meeting him, we grew mature and became better people. We love nature, love life, love ourselves."
"Some girls have vowed to find a boyfriend modeled after him... but there’s always something inadequate."
"Life now is already happy, why would I want to seek trouble by trapping myself in the cage of marriage?"
...
The Luo Family’s hall fell silent, no one could say a word; everyone was astounded and felt complex emotions from Luo Shui’s depiction.
As time slowly passed, the most lively Mr. Luo couldn’t help but move his numbing legs and muttered, "Is that even human? That’s the Prince in a fairy tale."
"In the real world, does such a person exist?"
Luo Shui looked at Mr. Luo like he was a fool.
Mr. Luo: Wailing, he’s the fool.
Why wouldn’t someone like that exist in the real world? Look at the person little sister spoke of; isn’t he just such a perfect person?
Indeed, with the double joy of boyfriend strength and girlfriend companionship, who needs another man?
Isn’t life good right now? If he could choose, he’d want such a considerate, talk-about-anything, do-anything girlfriend too.
Mr. Luo couldn’t help his thoughts from wandering. No, no, how could he think that?
Realizing it, Mr. Luo remembered they were here today to pressure little sister into marriage.
The men present perhaps didn’t quite understand Luo Shui’s meaning, but the women present grasped it.
Mother Luo felt a sourness in her heart, and her gaze softened. She wanted to say something to her daughter but seemed stuck with something in her throat, opening her mouth several times, but not speaking.
Every woman has a Prince Charming during her youthful dreams.
They hope he can understand her thoughts, cherish her fragility, sympathize with her strength... but afterward, ideals ultimately lose to reality.
Even without love, once you’ve experienced the utmost tenderness, what’s left is just settling.
Suddenly, Mother Luo understood; why force Luo Shui into marriage?
Per her daughter’s words, she’s already living blissfully, no need for unnecessary distress.
She and Father Luo could be considered an affectionate couple, yet after love cooled, the initial years were extremely hard.
---------
Once the family troubles were resolved, Luo Shui felt liberated like a bird and even more unrestrictedly fawning over Su Li.
As a result, the newly risen Su Family’s women’s club became the quirkiest place in their circle, and later its influence slowly spread beyond the circle and nationwide.
Su Li was respectfully called the ’Friend of Women.’
Despite her death, her significant contributions to the organization were publicized, yet surprisingly, her ’Friend of Women’ title and the unavoidable stories with various beauties spread more widely.
