Chapter 107: Man lives by a thought
Lin Xiaotong raised his eyebrows and asked with a little disdain, "Do you know what I'm asking you?"
Xu Xingkong pursed his lips and firmly defended his IQ.
"It's hard to understand, you're afraid I'll laugh at you're timid, aren't you?"
Lin Xiaotong was slightly stunned, and then said with relief: "That's right, people like you are very smart, don't you think I'm stupid and timid?" I always thought I was very tough, yes, I was tough, I always thought I was fearless, but now that I know, it turns out that I will also be afraid." ”
"Everybody is afraid, I've never seen or believed in anyone who is fearless, it's just that everyone is afraid of something different. ”
Lin Xiaotong looked at Xu Xingkong in surprise, and after a pause, he asked with a smile: "Are you comforting me?"
Xu Xingkong took a sip of beer, shook his head and said: "I don't like to comfort people, I just say what I think, I will also be afraid, when facing death, I am also so scared that I want to cry, want to run, I will be weak, I will be overwhelmed, but what is the use? In the end, I still have to face it, get used to it, just get used to it." ”
"Just get used to it?"
Lin Xiaotong frowned, but soon she smiled.
"So you were forced?"
Xu Xingkong nodded unabashedly and admitted, and said calmly: "That's right, so, I still admire you very much, you just wavered just now, if you were me, I might just go back, yes, I will definitely go back, so, not long ago, I was just an ordinary person." ”
Lin Xiaotong blinked, looked at Xu Xingkong with interest, and said with a smile after a while: "Why do I think you are encouraging me?"
Xu Xingkong smiled, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Emotionally, I don't want you to participate in these things anymore, but on the other hand, I hope you don't give up, I think, then you are you, Lin Xiaotong." ”
"Why do I think it's not a big deal for you to watch the excitement?"
Lin Xiaotong took a sip of wine and asked half-truthfully.
In fact, no matter what Xu Xingkong thinks or says, Lin Xiaotong has already made her own choice, she is not a soft-eared woman, on the contrary, she has always been quite assertive, and even a little stubborn.
However, if Xu Xingkong is happy to see Lin Xiaotong persistently rushing into this circle, then Lin Xiaotong is also very happy to put a fetter on Xu Xingkong, which can make Xu Xingkong feel that Lin Xiaotong stubbornly broke into this circle and he also needs to take some responsibility, and he will definitely not ignore Lin Xiaotong's request in the future
Xu Xingkong naturally didn't know that Lin Xiaotong, who was smiling, was putting a sleeve on himself, smiled slightly, and was about to answer, when a waiter suddenly walked over, picked up a blue cocktail from the tray, and gently placed it in front of Xu Xingkong.
Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaotong were both stunned, Xu Xingkong looked at the waiter in surprise and asked, "I didn't order a cocktail." ”
The waiter smiled slightly, turned sideways and guided Xu Xingkong with his eyes to look at a beautiful woman with a temperament sitting alone not far away.
"It was the lady who asked you to drink. ”
Lin Xiaotong raised her eyebrows, and looked at the lady in surprise, not to mention, although the lady was more mature, she was quite good in appearance and temperament, especially the confident aura she exuded, indicating that she was by no means a superficial woman.
The corners of Lin Xiaotong's mouth hooked, and he looked at Xu Xing with a smile and said, "Yo, good luck, that eldest sister is very good." ”
Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth, ignoring the woman who was raising a glass to him, and said lightly to the waiter:
"Thank you for me, lady, but I don't drink cocktails, please take it." ”
The waiter was slightly stunned, and then sighed with some regret, but he couldn't force himself to leave the air, so he had to pick up the cocktail he had just put on the table again, and turned to leave.
Lin Xiaotong glanced at the woman who was a little disappointed but never out of shape, and looked at Xu Xingkong playfully without saying anything, Xu Xingkong was a little uncomfortable by Lin Xiaotong, and pouted: "I have flowers on my face?"
Lin Xiaotong smiled and said: "There really is, otherwise how could there be a beautiful big sister inviting you to drink? I really can't see that you have such charm, but if you look closely, you are really a little different." ”
Xu Xingkong smiled and asked in a low voice, "What's the difference?"
Lin Xiaotong snorted and said: "Even if you become handsome, that's my credit, don't forget that I chose your clothes for you, but"
Xu Xingkong blinked helplessly when he heard this: "But what?"
"However, when I say different, I don't mean your appearance, but your temperament has changed. ”
"Oh, what's becoming?"
Lin Xiaotong said with a straight face: "Originally, you should know very well what kind of person you are, although it is not annoying, but it is not attractive, but now a man who can calmly talk about the great horror of life and death, no matter what he looks like, that kind of calm and mountain-like temperament is always a little exciting." ”
Xu Xingkong was stunned for a moment, and then retorted disdainfully: "Che, it's stupid to believe you, even if you are not wrong, how can that strange sister see this? Could it be that you sued her?"
Lin Xiaotong shook his head, looked at Xu Xingkong and said, "Don't underestimate a woman's intuition, especially such a woman who is not simple." ”
Although Xu Xingkong still had a hint of joy hidden in his half-belief in his heart, he still had reservations about Lin Xiaotong's statement, perhaps, the woman invited herself to drink just because she met her eyes, this explanation is more acceptable than the ethereal aura, as for Lin Xiaotong saying that he can calmly talk about the great horror of life and death, Xu Xingkong did not dare to accept this praise, after all, he was only forced.
However, he really hopes that one day he can truly face the great horror of life and death, instead of being forced.
was stirred up by this little episode, making it difficult for Lin Xiaotong to continue the pace just now, and then holding on to this topic at this time is likely to make Xu Xingkong come back to his senses, the current Xu Xingkong is not the stupid person he was not long ago, Lin Xiaotong doesn't dare to show off his cleverness at will, and he is afraid that it will backfire when the time comes.
Lin Xiaotong suddenly found that her and Xu Xingkong's attitudes and strategies were also changing because of the changes in their demands and identities, and the man in front of her was no longer the pseudo-house that could be at his mercy.
"I decided. ”
Lin Xiaofeng quickly made up his mind, since he couldn't use means to achieve his goal, then he had to use sincerity to impress Xu Xingkong, because he was a person who attached great importance to feelings, perhaps, this should be regarded as a weakness.
"What has been decided?"
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaotong with a smile and asked, in fact, he didn't need to ask him to already understand what Lin Xiaotong was going to say, because Lin Xiaotong's face was written on it.
"I still can't give up, even if my life is in danger. ”
"Do you think your parents will approve of your choice? Maybe they didn't want you to be caught up in it in the first place, so they kept hiding it from you. ”
"Also?" Lin Xiaotong's face changed, and he muttered for a moment and said, "Maybe you're right, but I have my choice, of course, I'm not in a hurry to die." ”
Xu Xingkong smiled, Lin Xiaotong's idea is still a little too simple, the so-called once you enter the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself, after crashing into this circle, I'm afraid many things will be out of your control, isn't what happened to me a good example.
However, Xu Xingkong didn't plan to tell Lin Xiaotong about these things, firstly, he said that Lin Xiaotong might not believe it, and secondly, if he didn't say it, someone would naturally tell her, in this case, why should Xu Xingkong be a villain in vain.
"Then I wish you success!"
Xu Xingkong raised her glass, Lin Xiaotong smiled and raised her glass in response, this time she took a big sip of wine.
Putting down the wine glass, Lin Xiaotong suddenly smiled slyly and said, "To be honest, why did you refuse that big sister's invitation just now?" ”
Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, "Why do you mind?
However, this question is really difficult to answer, and I can't tell Lin Xiaotong that the reason why he refused was because he didn't know how to deal with it, for fear that a bad one would be embarrassing, so he simply refused, to be honest, he actually regretted it in his heart, that big sister is really a temperament beauty.
Xu Xingkong blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm not blind, why should I be willing to go far?"
Lin Xiaotong was very disdainful of Xu Xingkong's teasing, and glanced at Xu Xingkong and said, "You think too much, I'm different from her." ”
"It's really different, you're my friend, and she's a stranger, isn't that a more valid reason? ”
Xu Xingkong did not continue to talk nonsense, some things should be stopped in moderation.
Lin Xiaotong is very satisfied with Xu Xingkong's clever words, if Xu Xingkong continues to tease herself, she doesn't mind teaching Xu Xingkong a lesson, she is very experienced for men who always want to crook their heads
Xu Xingkong, who was full of alcohol, returned to his residence downstairs It was almost twelve o'clock, because both of them were drinking, and finally he took a taxi to send the drunk Lin Xiaotong home first, and then went back to his house, but it was so late.
Turning the corner, Xu Xingkong saw the slender figure standing on the edge of the lawn downstairs at a glance, Lin Xiaofeng had already changed into casual clothes, walking back and forth on the edge of the lawn unhurriedly, the long ponytail swayed gently behind her back, it seemed that she had been waiting for a while, of course, Xu Xingkong would not believe that she was full of food.
"Miss Lin, are you waiting for me?"
Lin Xiaofeng nodded unabashedly and said, "Well, how is my sister?"
"It's good, we're drinking, she's in good spirits, but she hasn't drunk much. ”
Xu Xingkong replied casually with a smile, this answer seemed to be a bit unexpected by Lin Xiaofeng, but with her cleverness, she quickly tasted the message that Xu Xingkong wanted to convey.
Lin Xiaofeng frowned, and a trace of gloom drifted through his ethereal eyes.
"So, she still decided to insist on doing it?"
Xu Xingkong nodded: "She said that she has the right to choose her life, of course, she doesn't want to die." ”
"Childish!"
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and did not comment, rubbed the corners of his eyes with a sigh and said:
"I'll go up if it's okay, I'm sleepy. ”
