Chapter 157: Humans and Suckers Don’t Belong Together
“But the romance part of this drama is a bit veiled,” Wei Shanshan talked about why she was not optimistic about “Overseer of the Heavenly Destiny.”
“Is it veiled, really?” Yun Xiangxiang disagreed with Wei Shanshan.
As she held Wei Shanshan’s hand, Yun Xiangxiang said, “Shanshan, you cannot look at it through the female protagonist’s lens. You have to step out of it and see it from the lens of the audience.”
Yun Xiangxiang did not manage to see the complete script, but Wei Shanshan described it in great detail.
Putting aside the pleasing character of the drama’s female protagonist, the part where the male protagonist fell for the female protagonist first was already making it stand out.
In most mythical dramas, it was usually the female protagonists who fell head over heels for the incredibly aloof male protagonists.
Even though the old overseer was a powerful being who controlled the life and death of the mortal realm, it was exactly the fact that such a being falling in love with the female protagonist first made the audience adore the female protagonist.
Song Mian was still the chef for dinner. He called Li Xiangling and Song Meng over.
“Xiangxiang, I have never been jealous of you. But now, I envy you.” Song Meng said after she finished her pre-meal snack.
Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, “If you want to date, you can do it anytime.”
Song Meng might not be a really beautiful lady, but she was optimistic and had a sense of justice. She was not bad with the boys at all.
“I want a perfect boyfriend like this too,” Song Meng pouted as she placed her cheeks in her hands.
“If you want a perfect boyfriend, you have to be perfect yourself too,” Li Xiangling remarked mercilessly.
Song Meng glared at her, “Hmph! I am a sucker for good looks. He at least has to be handsome.”
Li Xiangling took a mirror from her bag and handed it to Song Meng, “Take a look in the mirror.”
“Li Xiangling, our friendship is over,” Song Meng threw the mirror back to Li Xiangling.
Yun Xiangxiang stood up with a resigned smile. She went to the kitchen to help Song Mian out. Both of them have been teasing each other since they were kids.
“Look at those two. Don’t they look like an old married couple,” the two fighting girls whispered to each other after their little tussle had ended.
From where they looked, they could see the backs of two busy people through the space between the carved mahogany.
Yun Xiangxiang would hand the sauces, dishes, and plates to Song Mian.
Song Mian would take some from the wok with a pair of chopsticks and feed it to Yun Xiangxiang. He was maybe asking her about the taste and how cooked the dish was.
“They’re torturing singles like nobody’s business,” envy bubbled in Song Meng’s mind.
“Sister Mengmeng? Are you getting tortured?” Yun Lin who was doing his homework suddenly raised his head to ask.
“Yes,” Song Meng answered instinctively. She did not react in time.
“Then you are a sucker. I am not,” Yun Lin nudged his homework further away from her. He even moved his body as he spoke. Staying away from Song Meng was what he was planning.
“Humans and suckers don’t belong together.” Li Xiangling had also stood up and went toward the kitchen.
