Chapter 691 Role Substitution
Later, Angel actually started eating vegetables seriously.
He wants to prove that he deserves the [Good Boy Trophy].
Cheng Ling raised her lips and smiled.
——How could she just throw herself into a trap without making any preparations?
It can be said that she understood Angel as fully as possible.
"Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle" - many people do not deeply understand the meaning of this sentence.
The so-called "confidant" means clearly knowing one's own abilities.
The so-called "knowing the other party" means to clearly understand the other party's abilities and ideas.
How can we “know each other”?
You must completely put yourself into the other person's role, wear his shoes, see the world with his eyes, and think with his thoughts——
It is difficult for ordinary people to do it.
But for Cheng Ling, it was not difficult.
Because she is a writer.
If a writer wants to create a successful character, he must create a growth process of his own for the character.
Whether you are writing about a child or an old man, you must outline the character's growth path step by step starting from the infancy.
For example, write about an old man.
You have to think, is his family poor or rich? What do his parents do? Was his childhood happy or painful?
What is the attitude of the people around him towards him?
Is his school life exciting?
Does he have someone he likes? Will his love work out?
Is he married? How is life after marriage? Is the child obedient?
Will your career go smoothly when your children grow up? Is family life going well?——
After thinking about all this, when you write the role of "old man", it will have flesh and blood and soul.
——Then the "old man" character you write will have flesh and blood and a soul.
The writer can know how this old man should speak, and what kind of reaction he will make after meeting someone or something——
You don't just guess about the character, you just observe the character and write down everything you observe.
The same goes for Angel.
Cheng Ling collected all reliable information related to Angel and filled it into [Angel's Growth World].
Then, close your eyes and put yourself into Angel's role.
As a child, he was ostracized by servants and longed for the warmth of family.
As a boy, he was punished by his parents and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to the Andrew he once was.
…
——Cheng Ling walked in the illusory Miller family house and saw the world through Angel's eyes.
[Angel] saw the disappointment on his parents' faces, saw the contemptuous and disgusting expressions on his servants' faces, and saw his once perfect twin brother, Andrew, who was as perfect as a mythical prince.
[Angel] saw Andrew’s wall full of medals and display cabinets filled with trophies—my mother would come to the room every day to wipe these medals and trophies, shedding tears while wiping them.
[Angel] also wants to have his own trophy.
But [Angel] never got his own trophy.
——He is a transgender, how can he compete with those normal and healthy boys?
When he was a child living in Iceland, his tutor did not educate him seriously at all.
His foundation is very poor.
And his long-term depressed mood limited his intelligence——
Therefore, no matter whether it is sports, intelligence, or art, he is outstanding in nothing.
The worse he is and the more others like to compare him with Andrew, the more desperate [Angel] will be.
Vicious cycle.
So, when [Angel] became the president of the Freemasonry one day, he immediately ordered his subordinates to smash all the medals and trophies that Andrew had won and mix them into the concrete.
Then he built a lavish public toilet with a concrete floor mixed with trophy fragments.
[Angel] has a strong [trophy complex].
He both hates trophies and craves them.
…
Cheng Ling predicted Angel's thoughts and actions.
Therefore, she knew that Angel would be very happy to receive this trophy - even if it was a worthless napkin, he would treasure it well.
Angel's heart and soul were agitated——
His eyes were fixed on the white napkin swan for a long, long time.
It took him a long time to realize that Cheng Ling had put down his knife and fork at some point and looked at him.
Only then did Angel realize his gaffe, put down his knife and fork, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
"Are you full?" Angel asked.
"I'm very, very full." Cheng Ling didn't lie.
She didn't know when or what her next meal would be - so she had to fill herself up when she had the chance.
"Your island is very beautiful. Can you accompany me for a walk?" Cheng Ling asked.
"It's an honor," Angel said.
Angel stood up, but Cheng Ling sat still.
"What's wrong?" Angel asked with concern.
"My clothes and shoes are not suitable for hiking."
Cheng Ling was wearing the cotton slippers provided in the cruise ship's room, and a long windbreaker jacket over a suspender skirt.
"Do you have casual clothes here that are suitable for me to wear?" Cheng Ling asked.
Angel looked at Connie.
Connie stepped forward obediently: "Yes, Master, can you please Miss Cheng come with me to change clothes?"
"Then wait for me for a while. I'll come back after changing my clothes." Cheng Ling said, "Don't sit there when you're full. Go and stand by the window for a while and look at the scenery -"
Angel stood up obediently, walked to the window and looked out.
Standing in front of the closet, Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief -
She had to make Angel give up his sexual fantasies about her.
