"I like many things, but I don’t have an ultimate dream. Maybe I’m just a couch potato!" Lu Xingzhi hesitated a bit before speaking: "Maybe I know too many things, but they’re all pretty even, so I’ve developed a fear of choosing a dream."
That was quite heart-piercing.
Listening to her makes one want to hit her.
Then she continued, "My dream is probably to live —to be free of want and live happily. Your Third Brother helped me accomplish this."
"Little Zhi Liao, saying things like that will get you smacked." Helian Xi said weakly, really infuriating!
Huo Jincheng immediately piped up, "As long as I’m here, who dares lay a finger on her."
Really infuriating, she decided to eat another bowl of wontons!
Lu Xingzhi checked her phone only after she was full.
She realized she looked quite good on stage, the cameraman’s skills were just too excellent.
Then the trending titles appeared, and she looked down.
She saw those comments.
[Cautious Ah Yi: I don’t care, I don’t care. My Ah Yi hasn’t acknowledged her, so no woman should try to ride on his fame.]
[Eat a Lemon: She’s definitely a little fairy! Mom, I want to start dating early.]
[Xinzi’s Little Padded Jacket: What’s with the genius piano girl? Isn’t she just relying on her looks? My Xinzi is the true elegant piano goddess.]
[Yi Shuai Sheng Xiaoxiao: As a fan of Yi Shuai, I think the little fairy and Yi Shuai are truly a match made in heaven. So pleasing to the eyes.]
[Orange Orange a Bit Sour: The little fairy is also a top student, possessing both beauty and talent!]
[Violet’s Coco: Isn’t she just trying to debut off Yi Shuai? But don’t think about stepping over our Xinzi. Xinzi is the real inspiring diva.]
Some praised, some criticized, and there were quite a few who criticized her. They mainly came from the fans of Helian Yi and Shen Xinzhu.
Lu Xingzhi didn’t feel anything; she simply didn’t care.
"Ahem... Hey, there’s no need to mind what these people are saying. I’ll clarify on Weibo later." Helian Yi also noticed many harsh comments targeting Lu Xingzhi, some were quite intense.
He didn’t expect things to escalate .
If it were Shen Xinzhu, there wouldn’t have been so many trending topics.
"I don’t mind," Lu Xingzhi said indifferently.
"My dad has long told me that throughout life, where there’s praise, there’s also doubt. So whether they’re criticizing me or jealous, it’s because I have something they don’t."
Lu Xingzhi smiled lightly, "Actually, shouldn’t I be happy? At least they admit I’m good-looking."
She really wasn’t angry.
Everyone has their own preferences. She isn’t perfect, and her personality has flaws. It’s normal for some not to like her.
"Little Zhi Liao, I think your inner strength must be great." Although Helian Xi was a year older than Lu Xingzhi, if she had read these news articles and comments herself, she wouldn’t have been able to be as unbothered as Lu Xingzhi.
"It’s not strength; I believe in what my dad said. He said those who like you won’t harm you, and those who do harm you are unimportant people. Since they’re unimportant, why care about their words, why care about whether they like you."
Huo Jincheng swept his big hand and pulled Lu Xingzhi into his arms, "They’re indeed unimportant. You just need to do what you want. Don’t worry about anything else; I’ll handle it all."
