1. That plastic husband of hers was the most sarcastic person Li Sui had ever met.
When a guy tried to hit on her and asked her out for a stroll—
Zhou Jinghuai: "Sorry, she's already walked the dog."
When her mother urged them to have children—
Zhou Jinghuai: "I’ve had a vasectomy."
Mother: "Why?"
Zhou Jinghuai: "It was 20% off for a limited time. Couldn’t pass up such a good deal."
When she stood up for the little dog—
Her: "Why were you so cold to it back then?"
Zhou Jinghuai: "It’s a bit ugly."
Her: "What about me? Was I ugly too? Why were you so cold to me?"
Zhou Jinghuai: "Not because of that. It was purely because I have no manners."
Every time she got angry at his remarks, Li Sui would habitually use his name as a stand-in for the cannon-fodder antagonist in her drafts, gaining a moment of happiness.
One late night, as usual, she jotted down the beginning of her new book in her phone's notes:
"Zhou Jinghuai! I’m going to kill you!!!"
Unexpectedly, the next day, a few extra words appeared below that sentence—
"Pile on more dirt, I feel the cold easily."
Li Sui: "……?"
After discovering that her notes were synced to Zhou Jinghuai’s phone, Li Sui would occasionally deliberately vent furiously in the notes.
Until one gathering, when Zhou Jinghuai was punished with "letting everyone present check his phone for one minute," and the notes were exposed.
Friend: "If a man’s tongue is too sharp, he’s bound to gain weight in middle age."
Zhou Jinghuai: "Just reminding me to watch my figure."
Friend: "If a man loves to drink, you might as well have married a dog."
Zhou Jinghuai: "Praising me for being much better than a dog when I don’t drink."
Friend: "If a man is jealous, I’ll pay for his VIP ticket to the mental hospital!"
Zhou Jinghuai: "Shows she’s willing to spend big money on me. Is your wife willing?"
Li Sui leaned close to his ear and whispered helplessly, "Next time you decide to be shameless, could you pick a time when I’m not around? I’m afraid people will think we’re two of a kind."
Their friend noticed their interaction and asked curiously, "What are you two whispering about?"
Zhou Jinghuai held her hand and said cheekily, "She said she wants to sleep in the same blanket tonight."
Li Sui: "..."
Mini Theater:
One day, Zhou Jinghuai asked out of curiosity, "What kind of roles do you usually give to characters with my name?"
Li Sui thought for a moment and replied seriously:
"Someone who never gives up on their dreams."
For example, a homewrecker who repeatedly tries to come between the main couple.
"Someone brave enough to try new things, even at the cost of their life."
For example, a flirtatious ex-boyfriend who meets a tragic end.
"Someone who would rather bear loneliness alone than hurt others."
For example, a pathetic husband who runs away to another city because he’s impotent and refuses to divorce.
Li Sui (summarized version): "They’re all roles that perfectly match your vibe."
