Chapter 17 Memorable Quotes for Sarcasm
Li Shen stood up and said truthfully, "Brother Liang, it seems that Mai Lin never actually said she liked glutinous rice cakes!"
Merlin raised an eyebrow and exclaimed excitedly, "Look!"
Li Shen said, "Brother Liang, you didn't even remember that Mailin said he liked to eat glutinous rice cakes. I know you lied to appease your partner, but lying won't solve the problem."
Merlin's lips curled into a smile: "You're right!!!"
Li Hangliang pursed his lips and lowered his head dejectedly.
Looking at the pitiful-looking Li Hangliang, Tian Xiwei said in a very low voice, "Don't say anything more."
Merlin: "Fukako, continue!"
Li Shen looked at Mai Lin: "Mai Lin, but I want to tell you something: if you use lies to verify lies, what you get will definitely be lies!!"
Merlin frowned: "???"
Tian Xiwei exclaimed in a low voice in surprise, "Wow!"
Li Hangliang raised his head, and a light shone in his bloodshot eyes behind his thick glasses.
The live chat erupted in praise:
[Holy crap, brilliant!]
That makes so much sense!
[Quote of the Year is in the works!]
[As long as he's not a jerk like Tian Tian, Li Shen is quite handsome!]
……
Merlin's lips trembled: "But entrapment is also a way to punish criminals! The facts prove that Hangliang was just placating me, deceiving me. Don't you agree, Li Shen, don't you...?"
Li Shen ignored Mai Lin and did not answer.
Trying to reason with someone you can't communicate with is disrespectful to your own intelligence.
Li Shen nodded to Zhang Ruonan again, indicating that the task was completed.
Zhang Ruonan's face turned deathly pale.
She asked Li Shen to use the healing style of "Facing the Sea, with Spring Blossoms" to resolve the conflict! Who told you to escalate the conflict?
The sounds of crying, comforting words, and others urging Li Hangliang to apologize filled Li Shen's ears, making him extremely annoyed.
He decided to seek some peace and quiet for a while.
Li Hangliang was surrounded by the guests.
Yoko: "Women, don't try to reason with them, get used to apologizing, just coax them a little and they'll be fine."
Huang Shengyi: "Actually, from our female perspective, Hangliang, you haven't grasped what Linlin really wants at all."
Liang Song: "Brother Liang, you did make a mistake by lying to quell your troubles. Look at Li Shen, he's very honest and straightforward, which is why he has fewer troubles."
Besides, Tian Xiwei didn't fly into a rage just because Li Shen forgot the moment he fell for her, did she?
Melin, sobbing uncontrollably: Click me?
Li Shen also came up to Li Hangliang and patted him on the shoulder.
Li Hangliang asked with a wry smile, "You want me to apologize too?"
Li Shen shook his head: "Let me play the guitar for a while, but you probably won't have time to play anymore."
Li Hangliang: "Damn!"
Li Shen, holding his guitar, left the crowd and sat alone under a golden coconut tree, practicing his fingering.
Although the original owner did not have great achievements in music, she had a solid foundation in the basics of various instruments.
In his previous life, Li Shen came from an artistic family and had dabbled in many fields. Although he never released an album, he recorded demos for some well-known singers.
He was a true all-rounder in the entertainment industry, so even though he was blacklisted by the film and television industry back then, he still lived a relatively carefree life.
Li Shen was leisurely playing his guitar under the coconut tree.
Meanwhile, on the other side, everyone surrounded Merlin, comforting her.
Li Hangliang became the target of public criticism. The girls advised him that a man should learn to bend down, apologize, and say a few nice words.
Huang Shengyi and He Meiyan pulled him aside and analyzed from a female perspective what Mai Lin really needed.
Meanwhile, Mai Linza nestled in Tian Xiwei's arms, recounting her misfortunes.
Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, but just looked resentfully at Li Shen, who was leisurely playing the guitar in the distance.
It's all his doing!
If he hadn't said that, he probably wouldn't be so hard to coax!
If you use a lie to verify another lie, what you get will definitely be another lie.
After careful consideration, Tian Xiwei realized there was some truth to it!
As for Huang Shengyi and He Meiyan's views, she didn't quite agree. Mai Lin had emotional needs, but who had thought about what Li Hangliang needed?
We shouldn't side with someone just because they're crying, right?
It's best not to express opinions on matters of the heart.
Besides, she herself is a mess, so she shouldn't be giving advice to others.
So she just kept handing tissues to Mai Lin in her arms, without commenting, and casually glanced resentfully at the leisurely Li Shen in the distance!
Whenever Merlin's crying stopped, the sound of a guitar in the distance would grow louder and more cheerful.
Li Hangliang stood silently in the crowd, enduring criticism and listening to advice, feeling utterly alone like a soulless scarecrow.
At this moment, I really want to die!
Over the years, he has been gradually worn down.
Leaving the crowd, he walked over to Li Shen, sat down, picked up a twig and drew random lines on the ground, muttering softly:
"Your guitar has improved a lot. Listen to me play a piece from Kotaro Oshio's 'Untitled' and let me see your true level."
Li Shen: "Stop analyzing my guitar skills, instead you should analyze my new wife."
Li Hangliang: "???"
"Li Hangliang, I grant you the favor of two men."
Li Hangliang gave a wry smile: "You really are my brother!"
[The first guest in dating reality shows to advise couples to break up has been born!]
[Every word Li Shen said really resonated with me!]
[Li Shen, can you see the comments from viewers? Hahaha!]
[I've kind of gone from hating to liking!]
[Li Shen's speech resonated deeply with me!]
……
Li Hangliang said, "I live in a suffocating state every day, afraid that every little thing I do will offend Linlin..."
Shenzi, how can I solve my problem? I'm in so much pain!
As a true brother, can you give me some heartfelt advice?
Li Shen: "It's very simple. Instead of solving the problem, we should solve the problem of the people who create it."
Li Hangliang thought he was hallucinating: "Huh???!!!"
"The former is ten thousand times more difficult than the latter."
Li Hangliang hurriedly pointed to the drone in the sky and the video camera, and said in a panic, "Dude, are you saying all this? Don't you know anyone in this world?"
Li Shen sighed: "Yeah."
"This is a live stream! A live stream!!!"
"Broadcast whatever you want."
[pretty!]
[Yesterday, you said you didn't care about us, so we criticized you. Now, you don't care about us, so we support you!]
[Hooray, that was awesome!]
[That arrogant and unreasonable pretty boy, so cute!]
……
When Li Hangliang was expressing his feelings, Tian Xiwei came over.
Li Shen: "Oh, the master of impartiality has arrived?!"
"Do you want to die?!" Tian Xiwei raised her little pink fist.
A bitter smile played on Li Hangliang's lips: "Tiantian, are you also advising me to apologize to Linlin?"
Tian Xiwei asked, puzzled, "You didn't do anything wrong, why should I make you apologize?"
Li Hangliang was stunned; these were the most comforting words he had heard all day.
Tian Xiwei added, "Even if you really did something wrong, I have no right to make you apologize!"
Li Shen clapped his hands and praised, "Look at our girlfriend, Liang Ge, you can just look for someone who meets this minimum standard."
Li Hangliang smiled faintly, said nothing, and walked alone along the beach, getting further and further away.
Tian Xiwei asked, "Is Brother Liang alright?"
"It should be fine. He'll handle things on his own; you know him well enough to know him."
"Li Shen".
"ah."
Tian Xiwei sighed deeply: "Let me give you a heads-up: if you had said fewer offensive things, you would have performed even better today. I hope you become a perfect person. Goodbye, Li."
Li Shen rested his chin on his hand, watching Tian Xiwei walk away, caught in a struggle within himself.
Some people speak faster than they think; their mouths run ahead of their brains, and they regret what they've said after it's offended.
Li Shen is not that kind of person.
He's the kind of person who can't stand many things, but he keeps quiet about them, and afterwards he gets more and more upset.
He is a typical person who can't hold back his opinions.
In his past life, he had thought about controlling his personality.
For a period of time, when faced with injustice, he would, like everyone else, remain silent as long as it did not affect his own interests, following the principle of "minding one's own business" that most people follow, at most grumbling to himself or behind his back.
But after less than a month of persistence, he got so angry that he developed breast nodules.
In fact, everyone encounters various injustices every day, whether they are personal, societal, or related to online news.
This gave rise to classic terms such as angry youth and keyboard warriors.
Self-reflection, drinking alone, venting online, etc., are all ways for people to release their negative emotions.
After venting, as the anger in my heart dissipates through my body, I casually stretch myself into a circle and roll into the hypocritical society, greeting everyone with a smile.
Li Shen envies most people's ability to self-regulate; he doesn't have that ability. His way of venting his emotions is to express them in the present moment!
If I'm angry, I'll vent it on the spot; I'll never let it linger overnight.
He asked a psychologist if he was ill.
The doctor remained silent for a long time before saying, "Perhaps, we are the ones who are sick."
In his past life, he didn't even live a life of mere survival! In this life, with his talent, can he still afford to play the fool and cling to life?!
He turned to Tian Xiwei's retreating figure and said, "Tian Xiwei, I've disappointed you. Perfection is something I can never achieve. All I can do is be uniquely beautiful!!"
Tian Xiwei blinked her big eyes, pouted her red lips, and gave no response. Swinging her two slender arms, she walked briskly towards the RV.
……
The crowd around Merlin gradually dispersed.
After trying to soothe him for almost an hour without success, everyone gradually lost patience.
Li Shen continued practicing fingerstyle guitar when Yoko swayed over.
He stood with his hands on his hips, head held high, still exuding an air of authority, scrutinizing Li Shen: "Hey, brother, you're still the best."
Li Shen looked up: "Huh?!"
"She threw a tantrum this morning, it was exhausting for us. And you, you just shut her down with one sentence. You're at least half responsible for her crying like that."
Li Shen wiped his face: "I know her better than you do."
Yoko sat down next to Li Shen, pulled down her sunglasses, and stared directly into Li Shen's eyes: "Brother, which gang are you from? You seem to have a very fierce personality."
"On the road to socialist happiness."
Yoko: "..."
"Brother, hahaha!" Yoko patted Li Shen on the shoulder, "You're the only one who dares to talk back to me to my face."
Yoko straightened her suit, tilted her head back, and said condescendingly, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Yoko, a collector, chairman of China Giant Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., vice chairman of China Giant Group, and a specially appointed researcher at the China Cultural Relics Research Institute..."
Yoko stood tall, hands on her hips.
Li Shen sat low to the ground, stroking the strings of his zither.
Yoko's powerful aura of dominance enveloped Li Shen, showcasing her immense pressure.
Li Shen looked up at him: "I, Li Shen, am a member of the Communist Youth League, a successor to socialism, and a glorious reserve force of the proletariat..."
"Huh? Hahaha!" Yoko's arrogant demeanor crumbled.
He pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Li Shen, "You won Tian Xiwei over with your silver tongue, didn't you?"
Li Shen waved his hand: "Thanks, but I can't take a single needle or thread from the people."
……
Liu Qing, watching the monitor, laughed so hard she slapped her thigh.
The king of memes!
Men with witty remarks are especially charming!
This scumbag not only acts boldly and directly, but also has a very interesting personality. In the variety show industry, such a persona is easy to take off.
The barrage comments also offer a glimpse into this phenomenon.
Yesterday, the screen was filled with angry comments criticizing him, but today, up until now, there have been far fewer negative comments.
On the one hand, because there weren't many bad things that happened in his interactions with Tian Xiwei today.
On the other hand, his unique sharp tongue and unrestrained personality won the audience's favor during his interactions with the guests.
Perhaps, the public's opinion will slowly turn around.
……
At 10 p.m., the plane landed in Lijiang.
As they exited the airport, Mai Lin took Tian Xiwei's arm and slipped into the back of the official car.
Tian Xiwei frowned slightly.
She was thoroughly annoyed throughout the journey. She had hoped to get some rest on the plane, but Marlin kept her talking the whole time. For two out of the four-hour trip, she was giving her husband a long lecture.
Li Shen watched as Tian Xiwei was pulled to the back row by Mai Lin, his eyebrows furrowing as he scolded, "Tian Xiwei, is that your seat? Don't you know what's wrong with you?"
Tian Xiwei was annoyed and questioned, "What's wrong with me?"
"Those with long legs, sit in the passenger seat; they take up too much space."
Tian Xiwei paused for a moment, then readily agreed: "Okay!"
He Meiyan nudged Liang Song and said enviously, "Learn from others."
"If I were as good as Li Shen, I wouldn't be looking for you."
As a famous tourist destination, Lijiang's unique feature lies in its ancient town.
The guesthouse rented by the production team is located on a high point in the ancient city. From the courtyard, one can overlook the dazzling night view of the entire ancient city.
The streets leading to the guesthouse are crisscrossed, steep, and winding.
When the three groups of guests entered the courtyard, Li Hangliang and Mai Lin lagged far behind.
One maintained a cold demeanor throughout, while the other fawned over him.
Yoko: "Li Shen, your best buddy's fallen behind, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"I don't meddle in other people's business. If a couple sleeps through the night and makes up the next day, I'm caught in the middle."
"Well, I haven't seen you criticize Merlin any less either."
"Criticizing others is a way to heal myself, not to get involved with them."
Yoko didn't quite understand: "Your logic is contradictory, isn't it? I don't quite understand."
"So you are not a successor to socialism."
Yoko was stunned for a moment: "I fucking like you so much!"
11 pm.
The courtyard of the guesthouse was brightly lit.
The last segment of today's program has begun.
Zhang Ruonan: "In the next segment, the contents of last night's diary will be revealed anonymously. Couples who guess correctly will receive a mysterious privilege!"
Everyone immediately became interested.
Everyone has a voyeuristic tendency.
Zhang Ruonan pulled out an A4 sheet of paper: "This is an essay. The plane swept across the atmosphere, looking down at the continuous flow of Chinese culture... This is the cause I pursue: to pass on the jade culture of China."
Whose partner is this? Please claim them.
Liang Song: "When I heard the words 'Chinese cultural heritage,' I knew it was my foreign brother."
Thank you everyone for your recognition.
Zhang Ruonan flipped to the next diary entry and made a copy: "I don't want to be a pretty face anymore, and I feel that especially strongly today. Sometimes I lose myself... I hope to improve myself and strive for excellence in the rest of my life... Whose partner is this? Please claim them."
Li Shen raised his hand: "Mine."
Tian Xiwei tilted her head and looked at him: "In your heart, have I always just been a pretty face?"
"Actually, sob sob sob—" Li Shen's lips suddenly felt a warm sensation as Tian Xiwei's chubby little hand silenced him.
Tian Xiwei: "Please be kind with your words, thank you."
