Chapter 257 [Ridiculous? Plausible? 】
Eighteen years have passed, and the speed of airplanes has been greatly improved compared to 18 years ago. However, it has to be said that the development of science and technology has brought great convenience to people's lives, but also made people not very happy at some time in many ways.
For example, Xiao Xuan at this time.
During a boring journey to a strange and foreign country, he met Shen Xiguang by coincidence, and then Shen Xiguang turned the supposed boring flight time into fun.
At least that seems to him.
Because aside from Shen Xiguang's "father" who is dressed in mystery, powerful, selflessness, etc., she herself is undoubtedly a rare beauty. It is a wonderful thing to have such a beautiful woman sitting next to him and chatting with him, talking about geography, and talking about humanities and various environmental pollution in the middle.
It is also worth mentioning that during the good time when they were chatting on the plane, Shen Xiguang went to the bathroom halfway, and then Xiao Xuan appreciated the figure of this beautiful woman with dark red hair and deep red eyes. Her figure was so good that just one glance was enough to leave an indelible impression on his mind—what a slender and graceful one!
Of course, Xiao Xuan surpassed his father not only in terms of academic performance, but also in terms of height, although he didn't know that Xuan Ran was his father. In terms of height, he should have inherited more genes from his mother Pei Ling than uproar. Xuan Ran is 1.75 meters, Pei Ling is 1.73 meters, although Xuan Ran is still two centimeters taller than Pei Ling, but 1.75 meters is a half-cripple in the boys' height spectrum, and 1.73 meters is upstream in the girls' height spectrum.
After seeing Shen Xiguang's height, Xiao Xuan silently made up the scene of the two of them standing together in his mind, and finally he came to a conclusion that made him a little annoyed - Shen Xiguang can't wear high heels, never. Because if she wears it, they will no longer have any gradient in height, either equal or surpassed. Although he is also 1.83 meters, but when he met Shen Xiguang, who was close to 1.8 meters tall, he could only sigh from the bottom of his heart: Human beings are really constantly evolving! Height alone is enough to prove it.
He had been deeply attracted by Shen Xiguang's appearance earlier, and after seeing her figure, the restless flame of youth immediately ignited in his heart, and he began to shift the topic from the war caused by the blood clan and finally affecting the whole world, intentionally or unintentionally, to some private issues. For example, the purpose of Shen Xiguang's trip to France.
However, Shen Xiguang's answer to him was somewhat unexpected, because the purpose of her trip to France was neither a tourist as he guessed, nor a study abroad as he speculated, but to go home.
Yes, she went from China to France to go home, and she came to China for tourism. In her words, although she lives in a foreign country, she is a Chinese, and she cannot live a lifetime and has not even visited the motherland once.
Although this answer was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Xuan, I have to say that this answer is really excellent. In his two subconscious guesses and the answers Shen Xiguang gave him, the bad result is traveling, and the good result is studying abroad and going home.
Because if she was traveling, then this encounter would most likely be the only time in her life, and it would be very different if she was home, which meant that they would see each other often if he wanted to.
After receiving this delightful answer, he used all the means he had accumulated over the past eighteen years to conceal his purpose, so that the fact that he had begun to "plot against her" would not be so obvious, and thus arouse the disgust of the other party.
Of course, all this was done in a subtle way, and at the same time, he had to learn as much information about her as possible so that he could launch a further offensive after the plane landed.
Ancient military strategists had a cloud: knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible in a hundred battles. Today's military strategists also have a cloud: the current war is a war of information!
From the above two points, it can be concluded that information is crucial at all times.
As the development direction of the topic began to gradually become more personal under Xiao Xuan's leadership, Bing Xue was as smart as she wouldn't know where Xiao Xuan belonged, so the smile on her face became deeper and deeper.
I thought to myself: He really hit me with the idea!
Before coming to China, her mother had told her not to deliberately visit her old people.
Based on this, although she was very curious about Aunt Peiling, Uncle Dongdong, Uncle Anan, and other people who had fought side by side with her mother back then, she knew that her mother's request must be reasonable, so she was very obedient and behaved for a while, and did not go to the uproar of the former residence to bother.
Since there is no visit that is destined to bring out some sparks of memory, there is naturally no sincere and up-and-down storytelling about history. Then, her journey to her homeland was spent in the splendid civilization accumulated over thousands of years and the magnificent rivers and mountains that nature has carved so much that it can be touched at a glance.
It's plain, but it's surprising.
But at the end of the journey, when she had already stepped on the plane home, she met him. And the purpose of his trip turned out to be to pursue his father's message.
Thinking of this, the smile on her face became more and more unpredictable. Because she seems to have understood something. This is the bond of fate, the so-called fate.
Mother has lived this life, although she looks like a young girl, but her age is really not small. And in her colorful life, Shen Xuanran is the only man who walks into her heart, and the only man she has. But it was also this man who didn't really become her man until he died.
She once asked her mother, what do the three words Shen Xuanran mean? How important would it be for her to be willing to give up this colorful world in the future of her eternal life, and to hold on to it until she no longer wants to continue that meaningless eternal life and then end herself?
Nicole's answer to her was: This colorful world, the eternal life that lasts forever and then meaningless, is all left to me by him, and I naturally have to keep it well. Also, I'm not the only one in the world who suffers from this. She's still guarding, how can I lose to her?
She knew that the one in her mother's mouth she was referring to Aunt Peiling. Looking at the pain that her mother has endured over the years, she believes that Aunt Pei Ling is no better. Every time she thought of this verse, she would feel a little contempt for her so-called father - you have really done a good job of letting two beautiful sons who have brought disaster to the country and the people so great to you a widow for the rest of your life. However, this is not the point, the point is that these two beauties seem to be immortal, so their pain will be permanent.
After wandering for a while, after expressing his criticism of the uproar and sympathy for his mother and Aunt Pei Ling in his mind again, Shen Xiguang put away the smile on his face, which was already deep and unpredictable, and then a little sad. Then, she told Xiao Xuan some of her basic information.
At this time, she felt that it was a good choice to do so, because even if Aunt Pei Ling quarreled with her mother back then, so that the last one returned to China and the other hid abroad could not prevent her from meeting him, then even if she tried her best to hide her information, he would eventually appear in front of her at the next point in time for a reasonable and unassailable coincidence.
She is convinced of this, because it is fate!
On the topic of fate, she had discussed it with her mother a long time ago. She knew how she died, and it was precisely because she knew that she had doubts.
Based on her mother's narration and some scattered information circulating in the world, she has a more specific image of Xuan Ran in her mind, he is a guy who usually wears a cynical faint smile. There may be only one word to describe how cynical that smile is, and that is unscrupulous! Because that smile seems to show all the time: I don't care about anyone in the world.
In fact, that's exactly what he thinks.
The reason for this is not because he thinks he is stronger and smarter than 99.999...% of the world, but because he doesn't know 99.999...% of the world. Because I don't know it, it's not important, so I don't need to take it seriously.
There are only two kinds of people who can be regarded by him, one is a friend and the other is an enemy.
Now, all but a few of his friends are still alive, and his enemies are all dead, dead because of him! This fact shows his strength from the front, from the side, from all sides.
But how could such a powerful person believe in fate? That's what she wondered.
To her doubts, her mother gave her the answer: Your father saw very clearly, he and Cain could only stand on both sides of the river, and they could not look quietly across the river, and one of them would eventually cross the river and fight the other to the death, because they had completely different ideas about life.
Although the answer was a little hazy, she still understood it somewhat, and her father thought that his opposition to Cain was the duty of fate to him, the meaning of his existence, and when this responsibility was completed, his existence would become meaningless. And everything in this world has a meaning, so things that have no meaning will not exist. And just like that, he vanished.
However, she had a different view as to why Uproar had chosen a path that would end with Cain, but she did not share this view with her mother, because it was in a sense absurd.
In her opinion, the fact that Uproar would eventually choose to die with Cain was largely a one-hundred-hundred-fold implication. Because he died, he no longer had to choose between Nicole and Peiling. If he doesn't die, there will be someone who will be hurt no matter what he chooses, so it's better to hurt both than one! That seems at least fair.
It has to be said that this is a choice that has no choice, and is not a choice to find after a long struggle of despair and pain.
But is it really fair to do so? From Pei Ling and Nicole's point of view, this may be fair, as they have suffered the same amount of pain. But is it fair to himself? Apparently not, because he lost everything because he lost himself.
She had no one to discuss this idea before, but now the situation was different, she met Shen Xiaoxuan, and she might be able to discuss it with him after he knew everything in the future, maybe he would also come up with this seemingly ridiculous but reasonable idea at that time.
