she can still have a more neutral version of it. OC is powerful and, I agree, not good at taking things lying down, why aggravate him unnecessarily?
yes, she could have just said that he did something bad to her she can't forgive him.
Xiaomo/Luo Xi are a really really bad pairing not because they are awful people or are not attracted to each other or whatever (because I don't think any of that is true) but because both are majorly damaged in a very similar way. Xiamo needs someone very mentally healthy and secure to be able to deal with her, and the last thing Luo Xi needs is someone who canot commit or truly show love - he needs someone who would love him very openly and very wholeheartdly (and also someone not messed up). They are damaged in too similar a fashion, at least OC's brand of damage is different.
** nods ** But I also think that from the beginning, the fact that Xiamo can't like him fully attracts LX even more. If she was all over him, he (because he also really doesn't know what to do in a committed relationship) would have probably got over her quickly.
Ou Chen reminds me of Domyoji, a classical type of a spoiled rich kid, even a softer version of Domyoji. He just needs someone standing up to him.
I tried my best searching skills, it seems that the translation of the novel is not available yet.
but thank you very much for the manga tip - I am going to be all over it!
