CHAPTER XVIII
"I'm sorry to frighten you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Bai Lulu looked quite indifferent, and felt out a delicate lighter: "Now here, four women." However, the same people do not have the same fate. The three of you are all beautiful girls, from famous families, with fine clothes and fine food. You wouldn't think that there are still people in this world who grew up in Shikumen and never had enough food and clothing before they were ten years old. You have family protection, brother pampering, and I, who lost my parents when I was a child, lived in a relative's house and suffered a lot of white eyes. Bai Lulu said lightly: "But fortunately, God appreciates food, I still have such a face." Therefore, you have your abundant food and clothing, and I have my leisure. I won't say I'm forced to do it, after all, it's my own choice. So, there is nothing taboo that cannot be said. There was a hint of mockery and disrespect in her slightly hoarse voice, but her fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the lighter was pressed several times, but it did not ignite.
At this time, a hand reached out from the side and took the lighter from her hand steadily, the movement was gentle, but firm and powerful. She looked at it in amazement, but it wasn't Rong Ziyi who it was. His long, jointed fingers were just a deft pull, and the flame ignited. Small flames jumped, flickering in front of Bai Lulu's eyes. Bai Lulu stunned and moved her gaze from the flames to Rong Ziyi's face, facing his bottomless black eyes. At this moment, the indifferent, peeping gaze that often contained in those eyes has disappeared, and a flame is reflected in each pupil, making these eyes, which are always cold, seem to have a little warmth, emitting some heat.
Bai Lulu lowered her eyes, not wanting to reveal too much emotion. She put the cigarette on the flame and took a deep breath, and the cigarette butt seemed to absorb the heat and ignite a little red. Then, a curling puff of white smoke rose, like a cloud of mist, obscuring Bai Lulu's true face.
"Miss Bai doesn't have to be presumptuous." Rong Ziyi said slowly: "Actually, I don't think what Jiang Gongzi said is wrong. In this troubled world, people are lucky to be alive. Isn't Miss Bai much better than those of us who simply rely on the blessings of our ancestors to live an independent life? Rong Ziyi's words were very sincere: "Moreover, as the so-called people have their own aspirations, even if they embark on a road that is not recognized by the world, it will only be slightly more difficult." I think that with Miss Bai's character, even if the ground is full of thorns, she will persevere in going on. Along the way, there are great scenery that others can't appreciate. ”
"Yes, yes." Jiang Dewen hurriedly nodded in agreement. He was an unintentional mistake, of course, he wanted to make up for it as much as he could, and in his opinion, the fact that Bai Lulu was a dancer would not detract from her beauty in the slightest.
The cigarette calmed Bai Lulu's emotions, she secretly blamed herself for her gaffe, and said with a slight smile: "I don't dare to take this kind of compliment." I'm just living, living for the sake of living. My existence in this world is my only achievement, if it can be called an achievement. ”
"Of course. Isn't this exactly how we live? Save our lives and try to live? Rong Ziyi's tone brought that faint mockery again.
Rong Zixiao said sincerely: "Although a person's background cannot be chosen, the path he takes in life and the posture he walks are his own choice." Miss Bai sits upright, with her own hills and ravines in her chest, which is not inferior to any man. ”
Yang Yushi felt that Rong Zixiao's words seemed to have a deep meaning, and when she saw Bai Lulu hearing it, she smiled heartily. Although the smile was fleeting, it also showed that she fully understood what Rong Zixiao meant.
Her mouth was almost past her brain, and she said without thinking: "It's rare to hear the third cousin praise a woman like this, it turns out that you know more about Miss Bai than you say." The implication is that I don't understand how Rong Zixiao could be so familiar with this woman.
"Born from the heart." Rong Zixiao also replied quickly: "Miss Bai was born with a beautiful and generous appearance, and her heart must be the same. He deliberately looked at Yang Yushi's face again, and sighed with some regret: "A woman still has to be kind in order to have a good look." ”
Yang Yushi narrowed her eyes and retorted: "At this point, women are really different from men!" Because some men often have a smile on their faces, a sanctimonious face, just so that people can't see that he has a bad idea in his heart. ”
"Poetry!" Rong Ziyi stopped Yang Yushi, and continued to spread with the smell of fire prevention medicine. Jiang Yuerong also shook her head at Rong Zixiao, signaling him not to quarrel with others.
"What can I say? It can only be said that you are all kind people. Thank you for not looking down on me for that. Bai Lulu teased: "You have always been high, accustomed to being superior to others, I am afraid that you are more willing to show your tolerance and generosity to people who are not as good as you, right?" ”
"So Miss Bai is trying to make us feel guilty now?" Rong Ziyi hit the nail on the head: "Just as you can't choose your origin, neither can we." All of us can only bow down and obey the arrangement of fate. I don't feel guilty about having enough food and clothing since I was a child, but I've always been grateful. I can't imagine what kind of mindset I would be like if I were to get along with you. Because this assumption is always a false proposition. Rong Ziyi simply opened the skylight and said brightly: "I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I didn't mean to offend you, but I don't dare to agree with your opinion." I look at people and treat people, and I pay more attention to his quality and inner equality. As for everything external or past, who can guarantee that what we see is not an illusion or that it is not temporary? He glanced at Rong Zifan: "So, there is nothing to taboo." If I had a concern, I wouldn't have introduced you to my sister, would I? ”
Rong Zifan was moved by Ziyi's heart, she listened to her eldest brother's words silently, and quietly tasted it in her heart, feeling that although it was different from what Jiang Yuerong said, the general idea between the two was still the same.
"It was." Yang Yushi said: "As long as Miss Bai is frank in her heart, what does it matter what profession you are engaged in?" In other words, why should you care what other people think? ”
"That's it." Rong Ziyi continued: "Maybe everyone has secrets that they don't want to be known or don't want to be exposed to others. It's just that sometimes, we can't whitewash* the peace, and some cruel realities have to be faced. When faced with a problem, some people choose to ignore it, and some people choose to avoid it. But for me, I always believe that the problem should not be hidden, because after all, it does not exist because you deliberately ignore it. Not thinking about it, not mentioning it, only proves that we have a ghost in our hearts, proves that we are afraid. ”
"Scared?" Yang Yushi was a little puzzled: "Does my cousin also have something to be afraid of?" ”
"Of course, of course I'm scared too." Rong Ziyi's indifferent and polite smile seemed to contain a trace of bitterness.
