Xiao Xue becomes more and more vulnerable and confused under the pressure of her family and her disappointment in Xiong Yufang, who takes the opportunity to further deepen Xiao Xue's emotional dependence on her.
Xiong Yufang knows Xiao Xue's current situation, and she understands that Xiao Xue has fallen into extreme isolation in the family, and this is the perfect time for her to take full control of Xiao Xue. One day, Xiao Xue came to Xiong Yufang's rental house with a haggard look. Her eyes were hollow and lifeless, her hair was a bit disheveled, and her former vitality had disappeared. Xiong Yufang opened the door and saw Xiao Xue's appearance, secretly pleased in her heart, but on the surface immediately showed concern. She hurriedly pulled Xiao Xue into the house, let her sit on the worn but piled up all kinds of seemingly high-grade goods (in fact, most of them are fakes) on the sofa, and then held Xiao Xue's cold hands tightly, said in a tone full of heartache: "My dear, what's wrong with you? Seeing you like this, I am so heartbroken."
Xiao Xue couldn't hold back her tears when she heard Xiong Yufang's gentle words. She cried about her family's quarrels, her husband's anger, and her fear of the future. While listening, Xiong Yufang gently stroked Xiao Xue's hand, as if conveying strength to her. When Xiao Xue finished, Xiong Yufang gently wiped away the tears on her face, looked at her with firm eyes and said, "My dear, I knew it would be like this. That husband of yours doesn't understand you at all, he only cares about money. And I'm different, I care about you as a person, your feelings are the most important thing to me." Xiao Xue raised her head and looked at Xiong Yufang's sincere eyes, a warm current welled up in her heart.
Xiong Yufang continued, "Do you still remember that kiss we had at the movie theater? That was an expression of my true feelings for you. In this world, only I can really give you happiness. Don't be afraid, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be by your side." Xiao Xue's inner defenses completely collapsed as she listened to Xiong Yufang's words. She remembered her husband's accusations against her and felt that only Xiong Yufang was the one who truly understood and loved her. She couldn't help but move closer to Xiong Yufang, leaning her head on her shoulder, and said softly, "I'm really tired, and only in your place can I feel a trace of warmth." Xiong Yufang obediently embraced Xiao Xue into her arms, gently patting her back, with an imperceptible smile of triumph on her face.
Since then, Xiao Xue's dependence on Xiong Yufang grew stronger. She would go to Xiong Yufang almost every day and share her joys and sorrows with her. Xiong Yufang, on the other hand, continued to strengthen Xiao Xue's trust in herself through sweet words and occasional small favors. She would buy Xiao Xue some cheap but delicate-looking trinkets or take her to some free parks and attractions to make Xiao Xue feel that she is a caring and romantic partner. And Xiao Xue gradually lost herself under this false care. She became more and more convinced that Xiong Yufang was the salvation in her life, and even began to neglect her family responsibilities. She no longer cares about her husband and children as she used to, and immerses herself in Xiong Yufang's beautiful dreams every day, fantasizing about living a happy life with her.
Once, Xiao Xue and her husband had another heated argument over money. Her husband angrily accused her of ignoring her family and being cheated by her friends. Xiao Xue was full of grievances, and she felt that her husband did not understand her feelings for Xiong Yufang at all. After the argument, Xiao Xue ran to Xiong Yufang in tears. Xiong Yufang saw Xiao Xue's red and swollen eyes, heart secretly happy, but on the surface but pretended to be incomparable pain. She gently hugged Xiao Xue and whispered, "My dear, don't be sad. It's his loss that he doesn't know how to cherish you. I will always be by your side and give you true love." Xiao Xue felt the so-called "comfort" in Xiong Yufang's arms, and her reliance on Xiong Yufang deepened a few more points.
Xiao Xue began to change her dressing and living habits under the influence of Xiong Yufang. She follows Xiong Yufang's example and puts on revealing and colorful clothes in an attempt to show off her charms. She also began to imitate Xiong Yufang's mannerisms and became more worldly and vain. She no longer focuses on the warmth of her family and the preciousness of her affection, but puts all her thoughts on Xiong Yufang. She even began to make up all kinds of lies to deceive her husband and children in order to spend more time with Xiong Yufang, saying that she had to go to work overtime or attend a friend's party. Her human nature is gradually distorted in this deformed emotional relationship, and she becomes selfish and indifferent, caring only about Xiong Yufang's joys and sorrows and ignoring the people around her who really love her.
On a date with Xiong Yufang, Xiao Xue dresses up carefully and wears a tight short skirt recommended by Xiong Yufang, which is just above the knee and reveals the lines of her legs. She also paired it with a pair of high-heeled shoes with thin and high heels, which made her walk a bit wobbly, but she felt that it made her more attractive. When Xiong Yufang saw Xiao Xue's outfit, she nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "My dear, you are so beautiful today." Xiao Xue had a happy smile on her face when she heard Xiong Yufang's compliment. They went to a bar together, which was dimly lit with deafening music. Xiao Xue sat next to Xiong Yufang and watched as she skillfully communicated with the bartender and ordered two colorful cocktails. Xiao Xue, who usually seldom came to such places, was a bit uncomfortable, but seeing Xiong Yufang like a fish out of water, she tried her best to get used to it. Xiong Yufang shared some so-called "life experience" with Xiao Xue while drinking wine, saying that women should know how to enjoy life and not be bound by their families. Xiao Xue listened to the words of Xiong Yufang, heart gradually agree with her point of view.
With the passage of time, Xiao Xue's emotional dependence on Xiong Yufang has reached the point of being unable to extricate herself. She began to regard Xiong Yufang as the center of her life, and all her decisions and actions were based on Xiong Yufang's opinions. She even sacrificed her dignity and principles to please Xiong Yufang. Once, when Xiong Yufang was in an argument with someone else, Xiao Xue did not hesitate to stand beside Xiong Yufang and defend her, even though she knew that Xiong Yufang might be wrong. This blind behavior of hers makes her stranger and stranger in the eyes of those around her. Her friends and family are shocked and disappointed by the change in her, but Xiao Xue doesn't care in the slightest; all she cares about is what Xiong Yufang thinks of her.
