If he had to define life, the young man felt that the word that belonged to him was "suffering," and nothing else.

I used to hear people say that hemp ropes always break at their thinnest points.

This statement was perfectly embodied in him.

The more he fears something, the more likely he is to experience it.

The more he cares about something, the less he will ever get it.

From the toy cars in the shop window when I was a child.

The person you fall in love with when you grow up.

Without exception.

That's how it is for all of them.

All that remained was despair and suffering.

The person who takes over his life amidst grief and pain.

It must be the same hardship and misfortune he experienced before...

Seemingly having already reached a conclusion in his heart, the young man's eyes were filled with sorrow and pity when he looked at Bai Luochuan.

But it was not what he expected.

Bai Luochuan simply smiled at him again, then gently shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Apart from my slightly poor physical condition, I think I'm pretty good."

The young man was taken aback, and hesitated for a moment: "Isn't anyone online criticizing you?"

“Yes, it’s been going on and on,” Bai Luochuan shrugged. “But I’m not something like gold or jewelry that everyone can like. It’s normal for some people to be unable to control their mouths and criticize me, isn’t it?”

The young man stopped talking.

This was something he found hardest to accept.

Bai Luochuan drew such a conclusion so casually.

He didn't really know what else he could say.

Seeing what he was thinking, Bai Luochuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, I just don't like internal strife. After all, how should I put it, I have no reason to punish myself for other people's mistakes, right?"

The young man looked into his eyes once more.

The confusion and doubt in his eyes were much greater than before.

Bai Luochuan didn't stop, but slowly explained, "It's not just actors and celebrities; in any other profession, you'll encounter all sorts of despicable people who will rush out and inexplicably accuse you."

"For example, if you are a doctor, even if you have tried your best to treat and save lives, there will still be people who think you are disregarding human life and come to cause trouble and beat you up."

"If you are a teacher and you manage people well, people will say you use high-pressure teaching methods; if you don't manage them well, people will say you lack professional ethics."

"Even putting those aside, when I write a novel online, some people rush out to criticize and hurl insults."

"These people never think from other people's perspectives, and they think they are superior and look down on everything, so they have the right and reason to criticize you at will and smear you."

"You'd be wasting your breath arguing with them, wouldn't you?"

Absolutely carefree remarks.

The young man was stunned once again.

He stared at Bai Luochuan with an almost worshipful gaze.

After a long while, he finally shook his head, letting out a desperate sigh. He said, "I can't do it. I always care too much about those comments. Every night when I close my eyes, I feel like those people's comments are constantly floating before my eyes. Then I got beaten up... and then... at that time, I thought, if I could just die like this, or have someone else live on in my place, that would be so wonderful..."

When faced with adversity, the strong choose to confront it.

When faced with despair, the weak will choose to retreat and give up.

The young man always knew that he was, from beginning to end, just an incurable "weakling".

Therefore, he had no regrets about this "successful escape" and even felt a little satisfied.

Looking into his eyes, Bai Luochuan simply nodded, making no judgment about the other person's life.

Because you make your own choices about your life.

Everyone has their own rights.

He had nothing to offer in terms of comfort or correction.

Bai Luochuan didn't know how long he would stay in this space. Since it was just the two of them, he told the young man about the recent events that had happened to him.

of course.

The part about Qi Yu has been slightly omitted.

I only talked about those things related to my youth.

For example, he and Yan Cheng completely broke up. Yan Cheng was exposed by various people in the entertainment industry for all sorts of scandals. It's not clear what his current situation is, but he definitely won't be able to continue working in the industry.

Bai Luochuan originally thought that when he said these things, the young man might show some reluctance on his face.

But it didn't.

As if he had already guessed that this would be the outcome, the young man appeared unusually calm.

As if listening to the story of someone completely unrelated to him, he simply nodded casually after Bai Luochuan finished speaking, indicating that he knew everything.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Luochuan was instead confused.

Guessing what he was thinking, the young man smiled and asked, "Do you think I might feel sorry for him, or be angry with you, thinking you went too far and shouldn't have treated him that way?"

Bai Luochuan hesitated.

But she nodded anyway.

After all, judging from the various accounts of those around him, the young man in front of him was a great lover who loved Yan Cheng to the point of disregarding himself.

But it's not just Bai Luochuan.

Even the young man himself felt that his current emotions were strangely calm.

He forced a smile, which wasn't very attractive.

When he finally spoke, it was with a sigh.

He said, "I... I actually knew what kind of person he was a long time ago. But since he was willing to occasionally put on that gentle look towards me, I could only deceive myself and tell myself that maybe he had his own reasons, and that the gentle side he showed me was his true self."

"But you can't really succeed at deceiving yourself, no matter how long you do it..."

"So I also know that one day, he will definitely be pulled down from that altar. If he doesn't pay the price for his behavior, then heaven will be blind."

"So this ending... I don't think there's anything wrong with it..."

He paused.

Then she looked at Bai Luochuan.

Her voice was strained, and she spoke slowly, "If you're going to live in my place, could you please be nicer to Brother Chen? He's a good person, and he's really good to me. The only person I've ever wronged in this life is him."
