Chapter 355: Feelings Are Just Chemical Reactions
In order to ease Han Zheng's emotions and prevent him from losing face in front of the girls in the convoy, Xiao Nan deliberately dragged Han Zheng and sat down in the small pavilion to chat with him about something, planning to wait for his emotions to completely calm down, and the two of them would go back to the restaurant together.
Until many years later, Han Zheng still couldn't forget the scene at that time, Xiao Nan sat on the wooden fence of the gazebo with his back to him, swaying his two dangling calves casually. The sunlight filtered through the dense branches of the poplar forest, mottled and scattered on the top of her head, face and shoulders, and the breeze blew her waist-length hair, sending a faint fragrance that seemed to be close at hand, but as if far away.
A great writer once said, "The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, you don't know that I love you." ”
But for Han Zheng, the farthest distance in the world is not that he stands in front of the girl he likes, and the girl doesn't know his thoughts, but that the girl knows that he is obsessed with love, but she rejects his feelings.
However, Xiao Nan didn't know what Han Zheng was thinking at the moment, she fiddled with a bunch of hand-picked dogtail grass, and did "persuasion work" for Han Zheng very seriously.
In fact, the so-called feelings of human beings, whether they love or hate, are certain chemicals secreted by the brain that play a key role, such as dopamine, when you are with the person you like, the body will secrete a large amount of this kind of substance, which can make you feel happy and happy, which is what we call the feeling of love; and when we leave our lover, dopamine will stop secreting, and we humans will have a strong reaction similar to that of addicts when they quit drugs, so we will suffer because of lovesickness; in the final analysis, human feelings are essentially just chemical reactions produced in brain neurons…… We humans used to proudly claim to be the spirits of all things, thinking that we were different from other animals on earth, because we have a soul that can transcend the body, and the soul independent of the body gives us the special ability to think and feel independently of animal instincts...... However, in fact, we human beings are only slaves of our own DNA, and all our loves, hatreds, and hatreds, as well as all desires and all subconscious, are all endowed and controlled by our own material foundation...... So Xiao Han, feelings are just a chemical reaction that only exists in the brain, although it is turbulent when it comes, it is always silent when it leaves, as long as you don't think about it deliberately, it will naturally fade after a while......"
Hearing the pretty girl in front of him say such a novel and strange theory about human feelings, Han Zheng felt that it was incredible, because the style of these languages was not at all like Xiao Nan he was familiar with.
"Where did you hear these strange things?" Han Zheng asked Xiao Nan in confusion.
"That's a long story...... Xiao Nan adjusted his sitting posture, folded his two slender legs and continued: "Once upon a time, there was a guy who loved his girlfriend to death suddenly died of illness, and this thing is like losing his soul from now on, doing nothing all day long is just a puppet staring at the ceiling in a daze, not crying, laughing, or talking, it's like a walking corpse...... In order to help him get out of this shadow, I used to think of various methods, sometimes I had to go to the library to read a lot of materials, and finally summed up such a set of theories to deal with him, and every day I chanted in his ear like an old monk chanting sutras......"
"This person can be regarded as a lover...... Han Zheng couldn't help but sigh. "What happened then? Did you tell him these things?"
Useful? If it worked, maybe I wouldn't be here today...... Xiao Nan thought to herself.
If it weren't for the awakening of Huzi, who was becoming more and more autistic in her sadness, she would not have used her hard-earned pocket money to buy a broken second-hand scooter to carry Huzi up the mountain; and if she hadn't been fascinated by motorcycle sports since then, maybe she wouldn't have had a chance encounter with Xiaoting on the street; if she hadn't met and loved Xiaoting, she wouldn't have let Xiaoting get injured in the game, let alone have a later "ceremony" and transformation, naturally, she herself will not go to Top Advertising because of re-looking for a job, so she will know Han Zheng, know Zuo Longxin, and enter Zong Xin's girl team......
Fate is always so unpredictable, it always makes your predictions fall short, and you never know what will happen in the next second...... However, when you look back at the path you have traveled, you will always find that everything seems to be predestined - when you inadvertently dropped a seed a long, long time ago, you are already destined to see a sea of flowers one day in the future......
It's just that...... How could these words be said to Han Zheng? Xiao Nan was just about to make up a fool's breath when he suddenly heard someone shouting the names of the two of them.
"Manager Han, Xiao Cheng, why did you two come here and can't even take care of eating?"
It was a crisp girl's voice, Xiao Nan followed the prestige, and saw Miao Yutong holding a floral parasol, walking towards them along the sun-dappled gravel path in the poplar forest, holding two lunch boxes in her hands, and seeing that the color was her and Han Zheng's.
"Don't tell her about the two of us......" Han Zheng whispered to Xiao Nan a little nervously, with obvious pleading in his tone.
Xiao Nan nodded and smiled, since she said that she wanted to be a good friend, how could she let her friend lose face in front of the girl? She supported the fence of the gazebo with both hands, jumped up lightly, and landed silently on the gravel path, just in front of Miao Yutong. "Xiaotong, why are you here?"
Miao Yutong looked at Xiao Nan obviously with some doubts, and then looked at Han Zheng who pretended to be relaxed in the pavilion, and when he saw that the two of them didn't seem to have any unusual emotions, his delicate brows furrowed slightly, and said, "You two don't look at the time, it's been almost half an hour, and we haven't seen you come back after we've all eaten...... No, I brought your lunch boxes, hurry up and go back to rest, there are three training classes in the afternoon!"
"Thank you, Xiaotong. Xiao Nan reached out to pick up the lunch box, but Miao Yutong only handed her the one over, took Han Zheng's lunch box and turned around into the pavilion, and handed the lunch box to Han Zheng with his own hands.
"Manager Han, don't you feel hungry when you two come here to chat without eating at noon?" Miao Yutong's tone seemed to have a little bit of coquettishness in his small complaint.
However, Han Zheng, who was "a thief with a weak heart", didn't seem to feel anything, pretended to be casual and took the lunch box she handed over, and said calmly: "Thank you, Xiaotong...... I was here to talk to Xiao Cheng about some of the team's training plans, and I forgot the time while chatting, and I was sorry to ask you to send us lunch boxes......"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Miao Yutong's eyes, she shook her head helplessly, and said softly: "You two are really, you talk about work during breaks and there is no overtime pay...... Hurry up and eat. ”
Xiao Nan was relieved to see that Han Zheng didn't show any flaws, and with Miao Yutong, a warm-hearted girl, accompanying him, there shouldn't be any problems. "Xiao Han, since everything that should be talked about is over, I still have some things to do, so I'll go back to the dormitory first. Xiaotong, do you want to go together?"
Miao Yutong looked at Xiao Nan and then at Han Zheng, hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm fine after eating anyway, stay here for a while and then go back to eat...... Why don't you go back by yourself?"
"Okay, then I'll go first, bye-bye~" Xiao Nan waved his hand at Han Zheng and Miao Yutong, and turned around.
Han Zheng held the lunch box in his hand, but his eyes always followed Xiao Nan Huanting's back until she gradually disappeared into the pale sunlight outside the poplar forest.
Miao Yutong saw Han Zheng looking at the direction of Xiao Nan's departure in a daze, flattened his mouth, and said, "Manager Han, why don't you eat yet...... Xiao Cheng has already gone far......"
"Ah......" Han Zheng hurriedly explained, as if he had just woken up from a dream: "I was thinking about something else just now, and I was distracted......"
Miao Yutong gently walked to the bench opposite Han Zheng, pulled the corner of her skirt with her hand and sat down, watched Han Zheng open the lid of the lunch box and devoured it, and asked quietly: "I heard that you and Xiao Cheng used to be colleagues in the same company?"
Han Zheng chewed the rice in his mouth, and nodded again and again without raising his head: "Yes, yes, we used to stay in the same advertising agency." ”
Miao Yutong smiled faintly and asked again: "That...... Manager Han has a good relationship with Xiao Cheng, right?"
Han Zheng's chewing action paused slightly, but then replied casually: "Well, old colleagues, the relationship is naturally very good......
Miao Yutong listened to the thought and asked as if joking: "That...... Does Manager Han like Xiao Cheng very much?"
As soon as Han Zheng heard this, he unconsciously stopped his chopsticks, and slowly raised his head to look at the girl opposite, Miao Yutong leaned against the log hall pillar, put one hand on the fence, half of his body turned sideways, his big eyelashes looked at the distance and didn't know where to go, the strong light behind him blurred the outline of her figure, and the breeze blew her hair and skirt corners, which had a different style.
Han Zheng couldn't tell if Miao Yutong was joking with himself or something else, so he had to answer vaguely: "A beautiful and talented girl like Xiao Cheng, with a gentle and quiet personality, of course many people like it, and most of the colleagues in the company liked to get along with her at that time......
Miao Yutong slowly turned his face, hooked a few strands of wind-blown hair on his forehead with his little finger and swept them to his ears, his eyes flowed, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head gently, stood up and pulled the corners of his skirt, and said to Han Zheng: "Manager Han, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to be done, and I need to deal with it immediately......
Han Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied, and hurriedly said: "Then you go quickly, don't delay~"
Miao Yutong saw that Han Zheng did not stop him from leaving, sighed secretly, held up the parasol and walked out of the pavilion, and his slender figure suddenly melted into the shade of a swaying tree.
