Even though she took advantage of Brother Leopard's powerful position to become the boss, she saw that life was prospering, but when the shop opened, she looked at Li Xiaojun, who brought his wife to cheer, and devoured all the food on the plate. She was gorgeously dressed, with flashy blue eyeshadow, but she showed her hunger in front of him almost inappropriately.
Li Qiao is not a person who is prone to starvation, at least never when she was with Li Xiaojun. She would dislike the chocolate that Li Xiaojun melted, and there was one dumpling left in the evening, and she didn't want the chicken feet that he specially reserved for her to "fill the shape". Even though she could do everything she could to survive, think of ways to coax mainlanders into English classes to earn commissions, and even become a masseuse she despised in her heart, she never showed the slightest thirst for food.
And this scene appeared at the moment when she could be called a golden age. Why?
Desire of appetite is the best symbol of emotions and desires, and Li Qiao just lost to desire. The thing that Li Qiao had neglected for a long time finally burst out when Li Xiaojun had a beautiful woman by his side.
Originally, the seven emotions and six desires were never included in Li Qiao's future. Look at her, she is always alone, running around for the numbers on her savings. She doesn't need any friends or loved ones (the only expectation for her husband is to be a Hong Konger), she doesn't make money for herself, but just saves it in the bank as a proof of getting closer to her lofty ideals.
Appetite, or love, is insignificant in the face of ideals. It's too light and too shallow, and it's hard to come to Hong Kong. How can you be confined to these trivialities. She wants to be a Hong Konger, marry a Hong Kong husband, earn a lot of money, buy two houses, one for herself and one for her mainland mother. She doesn't think about love, just as she doesn't think about the melted chocolate that Li Xiaojun put behind his butt. She might not be able to resist his temptation and persuasion, and took a small sip, but that's all. She did not come to Hong Kong to meet Li Xiaojun. Li Xiaojun cannot and should not shake her planned life. Even if she was really moved, so what? It can be given up after all. . . .
"longlive friendship."
"Bye-Bye."
But she still failed. Her failure was not the sentence "We finally failed" on the bed. Her failure began with the secret feelings that Brother Leopard saw through when Li Xiaojun met again at the wedding. Her failure was magnified and bolded by her desperately swallowing. For the first time, she was defeated in the fight against desire, and the desire for food finally prevailed over her reason and firmness—devouring was never a decent thing on the occasions of her career—and before long, the desire for love would be Repeat this process.
Filling your stomach with food won't solve any problems. Because her hunger doesn't just come from her stomach. The scene of her kissing with Li Xiaojun was always so intense and hot that it was unsightly, as if she was going to devour each other. The desires of the two who have been empty for a long time are vivid and full of power.
The picture with Brother Leopard is full of warmth, but it lacks the participation of passion and desire. For Brother Leopard, Li Qiao may be more of affection than lust.
And the only thing she longed for was Li Xiaojun. So even if she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, even if Brother Leopard treats her well, she is still hungry and will eventually lose to hunger. Her eyes could no longer pass the emotions, so she ate a lot, so she kissed Li Xiaojun at the car window in the crowd. Her ideal blueprint was ripped open by hunger, and her entire vision of the future crumbled.
Hunger is the resonance of the stomach, the skin, and the heart. She craved more than food.
