Summer's desire : my mad love : wedding scene

[alexandral]

Yes, the picture below is totally OTT and Peter Ho wears FEATHERS, still, I love it:





The wedding chapter of the novel is out!! YAY! I am reading it and I am feeling very angry with Luo Xi. I was fearing this moment all along, and may be my opinion about his character have always been affected because I knew this is going to happen. But in reality, I am even angrier than I thought I would be:

Xia Mo is about to marry Ou Chen. On the way to the ceremony, Luo Xi meets her and in no ambiguous terms tells her to marry him, Luo Xi or he will commit suicide. And when she refuses, he drives home and commits suicide THERE AND THEN without thinking how this can affect her (or any other people), just thinking how much he is in "pain".

Can a person get more selfish than that? Whatever is happening in Xia Mo's life, you can not control it, Luo Xi. And the fact that you are doing the lowest (and weakest) possible thing available to a human makes you the weakest possible man. And honestly, I don't feel your pain. You have two arms, two legs, healthy body, stacks of money, fame, etc. Why should I feel sorry for you?

That pretty much ruins any good opinion I had of Luo Xi. Not only is he intentionally causing that kind of trauma to someone he apparently loves he's also throwing his life away over a girl.

Considering my horrible fear of giant birds (TRUFAX) that picture isn't doing much for me. They do look very pretty though.

Oh Luo Xi no!

That picture, LOL.

Actually, it made me feel much sorrier for Luo Xi because it shows just how damaged he is - I mean, he is ill, mentally, IMO, and needs treatment. But I know you have a different take on suicide.

In any event, you'll be glad to know they removed the suicide from the drama - Luo Xi does not have a suicide attempt in it. Which makes me very happy because it shows that he is much less damaged that in the book and so it's OK if he doesn't get Xiamo because he is capable of functioning and eventually finding his own happiness.

Btw, since I know you view suicide as a huge weakness/bad thing, what do you think of Ou Chen's attempt - back with the car crash? I mean, neither that not LX's attempt bother me but what's your take.

Oh, you'll also be amused to know that apparently both Xiamo's mom and Ou Chen's mom killed themselves for the same guy (Ou Chen/Xiao Cheng's father). That would be the most awkward wedding reception ever - can you imagine :P (So clearly suicide for love seems some sort of a theme in this - though I view the Moms as much more selfish than OC or book!LX because neither of these guys would be leaving behind small dependent children).
