A Slight Smile is Very Charming (微微一笑很倾城) : A Beauty’s Smile is Also Charming Part 3

Part 3: A Day At The Supermarket

Today, MoZhaHim and KO are at the supermarket when a voluptuous woman passes them with a breeze of fragrance.  MoZhaHim’s gaze follows her and the gorgeous woman actually smiles back.

MoZhaHim truly enjoyed the moment, so he can’t help but turn his head to take a few more glances at her.  KO says impassively, “Stop looking.  I’m better than her.”

MoZhaHim says with disgust, “Which part of you is better than her?  Just look at the shape of her body!”

“I’m better.”

“Holy, in what way?”

KO says casually, “Last night, you said it was too big.”

MoZhaHim almost thought he heard wrong.  When he finally registers what KO has just said, he says angrily, “Get lost!  When have I ever said that?”

KO glances at him.

Okay……alright, he really did say it, but……MoZhaHim scoffs, “Was that a compliment on your body figure?”

“It’s the most important part of the body.”

“……!!!” MoZhaHim is lost without words, so he could only fight to deny it, “I never said anything.”

“You didn’t say it, you screamed.”

“…..You, you, you!  If I said I didn’t, I didn’t!”

“Okay, let’s do it again tonight.”

MoZhaHim’s ears are completely red, yet he pretends it’s nothing by looking left and right.  He sees another pretty woman walk by.  Just to make a certain person mad, he purposely takes a few glances at the woman and even murmurs a few compliments.

“Not bad, not bad.  You can tell she’s the smart type.  Focusing only on someone’s body is too shallow.  Inner qualities are more important.”

KO also takes a look and comments, “The vegetables she’s buying are over-ripe.  She doesn’t know how to cook.”

“Her fingernails are too long.  She doesn’t use the computer much, so she can’t play online games with you, or help you hack into your favorite female celeb’s computer to download their personal photos.”

Did I ask you to go hack their computers?  Did I?  I only said that she was pretty and then you went and did it yourself.  Furthermore, they were all photos of her without makeup and no photoshop, shattering my image of her……

“Her waist is too small, and she’s too skinny.  She doesn’t have the strength to help you rub your back or carry a bag of rice.”

Waist?!  MoZhaHim is outraged, “Where are your eyes looking to?!  Who let you look into such detail!  Get your eyes back here right now!”

KO, “……”

  1. Haha…mo zha him is really too much….that kind double standard and pettiness. ..only KO can stand it…,

    Thank you so much for the update! 🙂 I guess that is the end… so sad…I will miss this funny book

      1. He really wasn’t forced though. This may be just myself opinion though but sometimes love has no limits. I may think I’m straight but someone of the same sex attracts me, an example would be I have no interest in any girls but for some reason due to our connection there is a form of attraction that goes beyond labels. But either way I will still be attracted to primarily guys and my partner who happens to be of the same sex. I’m saYing this from human psychologically, cause some people are bi,asexual, and pansexual meaning they aren’t primarily attracted to either like bi but more well just Google it if your interested. I don’t want to butcher the definition of it.
        Also we kinda have to read this not from our eyes and opinions but more so the culture of it. This is an eastern book, set in China I think and the portrayal/culture of couples is different especially BL. Also taking in account of tone the author is giving throughout the book, it isn’t a dark angst or tragic love story like Addicted or Uncontrolled Love. So I don’t think she was writing her story in a way to portray KO in a negative light. I think she was just showing humor of the characters and nothing to do with Stockholm Syndrome. If the story all along had the dark connotation I could possibly see it being that but it isn’t in this case. This is my opinion though and I just wanted to share it so it’s fine if anyone disagrees. I prefer the live action characters to the book.

        1. Right! Though I still feel.like he is straight but confused. If he was bi he wouldn’t still be freaked out by KO.But in a strange way KO is abusive and makes Mr.Beauty feel like he need hi. This is definitely Stockholm’s Syndrome.

          1. yes, i still cant get over that mei is a gay, in the main story there isn’t any indications at all….. was this really part of the main story? in the main novel and also the drama, it really did not indicate that Mei is of gay role ??!! :O

    1. But I also feel like he isnt straight at all. probably bisexual. Because the moment KO mentioned the waist, MoZhaTa became really jealous and immediately demanded KO to stop looking.

      I really dont even know with Hao Mei anymore… @-@

  2. I don’t think he was forced LOL, it can look strange at first, cuz we see him still getting atracted to women, but he can be bisexual, but we can see that he likes KO right at the end, when he says this:

    Waist?! MoZhaHim is outraged, “Where are your eyes looking to?! Who let you look into such detail! Get your eyes back here right now!”

    It’s like: Ok I can look at women, but can’t look at anyone else KO LOL. He was freaking jealous *.*

  3. I feel like people are misunderstanding their relationship… From my perspective MoZhaHim is bisexual BUT in China that’s not seen as an okay thing to be so he tries to deny that part of himself because being attracted to someone of your same gender it’s seen as wrong. MoZhaHim likes KO but tries to avoid him so he can get into a more acceptable relationship with a woman, so KO slowly breaks into his walls and get’s MoZhaHim to be more and more honest about his feelings for him. At least that’s how I feel about it.

  4. I watched the drama first, not knowing anything about the whole story, just a few days ago. Even from their first meeting, I can already feel like there’s something from KO’s side. But gradually, while KO remains cold and expressionless I could tell Mozhahim was unconsciously attracted him. But it’s not really clear up until the end of the drama so I Googled and found this. I’m so glad I was right about them having feelings for each other! Although some people think it’s a forced/faked relationship by KO, I don’t feel like that at all. I do think KO’s pursuing Mozhahim persistently and taking advantage of every opportunities relentlessly but that’s too much to label as Stockholm Syndrome. Mozhahim is growing to be dependent on KO but he’s no way restricted/isolated/threatened coz he himself allow it when he actually (and the others) can try to remove KO from their life should they feel the need to (even though I think KO would still stalk him) but it’s still doable/possible. But Mozhahim did not even consider that much about KO’s advances, as if he’s aware but just can’t accept the attraction/development by himself and let KO dictate everything.

  5. Wow. I didn’t find Hao Mei’s sexual preferences clearly outspoken in the book, but the drama clearly shows him to be gay. I loved these two characters in the drama.

  6. My god! Why do people keep saying Hao Mei was forced and raped?!! Like where do you see any rape? Maybe he was bisexual.. attracted to both men and women or maybe he just fell in love with KO because of his charms..like what’s the problem? It gives me so much headache reading those comments……. seriously!
