Chapter 46 The Question of Title
"Zero, are you having fun?" As soon as the practice was over, Ruan Qingning rushed back as quickly as possible to pick up the most jealous object in the hearts of the fans recently. Hearing her voice, she twisted and walked over, and her posture was still a little unstable in her arms, and Ruan Qingning kissed Zero very dotingly. "Do you miss your sister?"
"Sister?" Lu Ling, who had been holding his arms as a background board, raised his eyebrows, among the titles of his parents and fathers, the title of sister is really a clear stream! But do you treat your younger brother as a sister raised by her son? Lu Ling glanced at Ruan Qingning, who let Zero lick her face, and kindly decided not to tell her what Zero had eaten today.
But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Ruan Qingning doesn't ask. Eating is a chore for Zero, and every time she eats, Ruan Qingning chases after her with a dog basin to feed, and she never takes the initiative to eat.
It's a big problem at home, and when I took it to the store to take care of it, Ruan Qingning was of course more concerned about this big problem. Putting down Zero, who was tired of her for a while and then struggling to leave, Ruan Qingning turned his head and looked at Lu Ling, who was standing aside. "The manager excused me, did Zero have anything to eat today?"
"Just call me Lu Ling!" Lu Ling ignored Ruan Qingning's question, but instead raised an objection to the title, he has been in this country for a while, and the rest is okay, he is an otaku except squatting in the store or squatting at home, and the whole world is the same for him. But he can't stand the country's overly particular etiquette.
There is a limit to everything, and it is not appropriate to go over. It's a good thing to be polite, but it's not so comfortable to care too much, it's okay at home, except for the braised egg is air, there is no need to talk about etiquette.
But in the store, it's inevitable to communicate with people. As soon as you speak, you have to act according to the etiquette of this country, and at the end of the day, especially when there are many guests, there will really be a feeling of tiredness slowly growing in the bottom of your heart.
But Lu Ling can't say anything, follow the customs, the environment will not accommodate you, then only you will adapt to the environment. But adaptation doesn't mean liking, Lu Ling doesn't like such a polite way of expression from the bottom of his heart.
True politeness is not something that can be summed up in a few actions and a few words that sound very formal. Being too polite will always give people a sense of alienation.
Just like you happily greet the visitor, say come, drink a glass of water and then go? People can't answer, I am not free today, I have time to chat with you again another day and thank you very much, but there are still some things to be carried out, I really can't accept your warm hospitality, I can only accept your kindness next time. Although the meaning is the same, it feels very different.
Lu Ling is an authentic disciple of Sijiu City, and the people of Sijiu City, who were born and raised in Sijiu City, have a very significant feature when they speak, no matter who they talk to, their tone is very close, even if they are strangers who have never met, after chatting for a few sentences, just listening to the tone of the conversation, they think that the two are a family. Commonly known as self-cooked.
Growing up in such a trivial city where you can talk to people around you about astronomy and geography, national affairs, and trivial things like the manhole cover of this street is gone, or what delicious restaurants are nearby, such as country K, which is very polite even in the face of parents, is very polite, that is uncomfortable, not to mention.
So although he has gained a lot of fan girls during this time, even if he doesn't buy things, he has to be a outside the door every day, and the girls who always change their tricks and try to talk to him have already seen I don't know how many, Lu Ling has no fluctuations in his heart except for a commercial smile for display.
Who can tell me every day, store manager, I'm really happy to see you again today. Thank you store manager for your concern, I will be careful, you don't have to send it, the person who said goodbye should be a friend?
Compared with these people who are extremely polite and eager to use all the words that go hand in hand with politeness, Ruan Qingning undoubtedly feels much better to Lu Ling.
Although he was very polite when they met for the first time, it may be because Lu Ling saved Zero, Ruan Qingning's attitude towards him has always been very kind, although it can't be compared with the friends who know in Sijiu City who can eat together with two sentences, but compared with the people who know these days who are polite and uncomfortable, Ruan Qingning is undoubtedly much better.
This is also the reason why Lu Ling likes to talk to Ruan Qingning, and even takes the initiative to help. He likes to be quiet and doesn't mind having no friends around. But after staying in this stereotyped and suffocating environment for a long time, the desire for a comfortable way of communication is not ordinary.
Ruan Qingning didn't do it very happily, according to the habit of country K, unless it is a very close person, you can't call her by her name, you must add an honorific title after your name, otherwise it will look very rude.
Lu Ling is barely an acquaintance, and there is really a long distance from being able to call his name directly. really called his name directly according to his proposal, Ruan Qingning, who had been taught to be polite since he was a child, was really a little unable to speak.
Lu Ling is a good person who will not be difficult most of the time, but occasionally, really just occasionally, he will also be an empathetic villain. This is the situation now, pretending not to see the embarrassment on Ruan Qingning's face, Lu Ling insisted on his thoughts.
"We're not friends, it's normal to call each other names, but it's very strange to be so polite. Do you feel a little uncomfortable to be called that all of a sudden?,Or... A trace of melancholy quickly flashed across Lu Ling's face, "You didn't treat me as a friend?"
"Of course not. I didn't miss Lu Ling's sad expression, and Ruan Qingning, who didn't regard Lu Ling as a friend, reflexively denied it.
I didn't treat you as a friend, even if I didn't face Lu Ling with such a cold words, even if it was a passerby I just met, Ruan Qingning couldn't say it. She is such a kind good child, and most good children will be bullied by bad children.
Lu Ling is a bad boy, so Ruan Qingning can't beat him, so he can only admit that the two of them are friends, and then having to call him by name is destined to be unchangeable.
"Lu, Lu Ling. After hesitating for a while, Ruan Qingning shouted out a salutation that made Lu Ling feel very comfortable just by listening to Lu Ling's expectant gaze.
"That's right!" Lu Ling, who was in a good mood, reached out and patted Ruan Qingning's shoulder very happily, "It's really depressing to talk so politely." I'm really going crazy with your country's etiquette these days! Don't call me Mr. Lu Ling in the future, and don't tell me anything please, thank you very much, sorry for your trouble. Say whatever you want, even if it's scolding me, I'll be happy. ”
