readx; After the two of them finished lunch, they continued back to the reading area and continued to read. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoUnder the earnest teaching of Kosaihei, Shizuka Mishima's reading level of classical Chinese has improved a lot. Of course, this is inseparable from her cleverness. Shizuka Mishima is indeed a bit talented in language, and there are many words that are difficult for even people in country Z to understand, but she can understand them with a little explanation. Even Gong Xiping secretly admired her intelligence. Maybe she is the same as Shen Daixian, a genius child with a high IQ.

The two read the book for a while, and Shizuka Mishima gradually became more and more compatible, and there were fewer places to ask questions. Gradually, she was able to read some simple classical Chinese throughout. Seeing this, Kosaihei asked Shizuka Mishima to read the book by himself, while he took out the book he had originally brought and flipped through it.

When there is something to do, time tends to pass quickly. The two of them sat together and read a book for an afternoon, and the time passed quietly.

"Pingsang, did Dr. Guan tell you anything about my family?" Shizuka Mishima suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

Gong Xiping raised his head, glanced at her, and said, "I mentioned it, and I also mentioned his previous affairs with Dr. Mishima." ”

Shizuka Mishima was silent for a while, and said, "I also heard Sister Noriko talk about it, and she said that the two of them were separated because of family pressure. But what I don't understand is, why is Dr. Guan so ruthless and broke up with Sister Kiko like this? ”

Gong Xiping closed the book, sighed softly, and said, "It is precisely because of deep feelings that I chose to let go." ”

Shizuka Mishima said with a confused face: "I don't understand. ”

Professor Kwan and Dr. Mishima loved each other, but when Professor Kwan learned about Dr. Mishima's family background and that Dr. Mishima's brother had spoken to him, he decided that he could not give Dr. Mishima a happy life, so he gave up. He didn't want to drag down his lover's lifelong happiness, so he was ruthless, endured his sadness, and proposed to break up. Love, sometimes it doesn't have to be in your hands, and letting go is sometimes a manifestation of love. ”

Shizuka Mishima shook her head and said, "But I don't think so. Isn't it an evasion of responsibility to choose to separate when you unilaterally think that you can't bring happiness to the other person? If you feel that you can't do it, then work hard to be motivated, and fight for your lover, which should also be a sign of love. But don't you do anything, just retreat, don't think about the other person's feelings, and simply think that this is to give the other person freedom, isn't it ridiculous? ”

Gong Xiping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Although Shizuka Mishima is young and looks very simple on the outside, she can understand such a truth, which really surprises Gongxiping. However, what Shizuka Mishima said makes a lot of sense, Guan Shanyue's original move seems to be great, but it is actually an escape. This kind of evasion not only makes him feel deep remorse, but may also cause permanent scars to the other party.

"You're right, I totally agree with you. However, we are not the parties involved, and we cannot understand what they were thinking at the time. The so-called different positions will also look at the problem from different angles. Perhaps at that time, Professor Kwan's choice was the right one. Who knows, it's already a fait accompli anyway, and it's been so long. ”

"I still can't understand it. I think that no matter what the reason, you should go forward and not back down, so that is the performance of manhood. Isn't loving someone always wanting to be with him and never separate? ”

Kosai smiled lightly, but he didn't expect Shizuka Mishima to be unexpectedly stubborn in this regard. However, maybe it's because she's more simple, so she's more persistent in some aspects.

"If you only know how to move forward and don't know how to back down, I don't think it's a sign of manhood, it's just a stupid move. We live in this world, it is not very easy and simple, and anything, even the smallest thing, should be thought twice. ”

"So, Pingsang." Shizuka Mishima looked at Kosaihei and said, "What would you do if it were you?" ”

Gongxi said flatly: "I don't like to make impossible speculations. ”

"I just want to know, can you tell me your options?"

Gong Xiping stared at Shizuka Mishima for a few seconds, and finally said slowly: "If it were me, I wouldn't care what background or identity she is." If there is love, they will be together, and if there is no love, they will break up. ”

Shizuka Mishima looked at Gongxiping in a daze and asked, "It's that simple?" ”

"It's as simple as that. Many things seem complicated, but in fact the truth is very simple. ”

"But don't you care about the other party's family background?"

"Family background? That's hers, what does it have to do with me. Even if she is the president, isn't she a human being? As long as it's human, it's the same for everyone. If there is affection, they will be together, and if there is no affection, they will be separated. ”

Shizuka Mishima was silent. She lowered her head and pondered, and was silent for a long time before she said faintly, "If only Dr. Guan could be like you." Sister Noriko has never been married until now, and it can be seen that she has a deep affection for Dr. Guan. ”

Gongxi said indifferently: "I said, it's been a long time since the incident. What can be put down, should be put down. has been reluctant to let go, perhaps because of persistence. ”

"Why do you seem to be open to everything?" Shizuka Mishima asked faintly.

"Maybe it's because I've seen too much, so I'm numb." Gongxi said flatly.

What Gong Xiping said was actually the truth, he used to live in the rain of bullets and blood, and he could see people fall almost every day. Yesterday he was a close comrade-in-arms, but today he has become a dead corpse, he has experienced too much of this kind of transformation, and over time, he has seen everything openly, and he is indifferent.

"And have you ever liked someone?" Shizuka Mishima asked a little sheepishly.

When Gong Xiping heard this, Susie's appearance immediately appeared in his mind. For so many years, Susie had been in his mind, and she had never disappeared.

"Yes." Gong Xiping nodded and said.

"Didn't you say you don't have a girlfriend?"

"That was before, and we ended up parting."

"Why?" Shizuka Mishima's eyes widened and asked, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't care about the other party's family background and identity or something?" ”

"I don't care. However, if there is no love, then it will naturally be separated. ”

"Don't you love her anymore?"

"It's that she doesn't love me anymore." Gong Xiping said with a little self-deprecation, "But the responsibility lies with me." ”

"If she doesn't love you anymore, why do you say it's your responsibility?"

Gong Xiping glanced at Shizuka Mishima and said lightly: "This is my **." ”

When Shizuka Mishima heard this, she said slightly apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't help but ask." ”

"Forget it, it's all over anyway, so don't mention it again."

"Oh." Shizuka Mishima nodded and said.

The conversation between the two seems to have reached an impasse. Gong Xiping is not a person who is good at finding topics, and what he said just now touched his heart again, so he was silent. Shizuka Mishima felt that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little awkward, so she wanted to find a topic for the two to continue talking.

"Pingsang, don't you want to ask about me?" Shizuka Mishima finally spoke.

"It's your **, it's inconvenient for me to ask."

"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I've asked you about it, so you can ask me about it too. Shizuka Mishima said with a smile.

"But I don't know what to ask."

"There are a lot of questions you can ask, such as whether I have a boyfriend, whether I have ever liked someone, and so on."

Gong Xiping was speechless for a while when she heard this, isn't this the question she asked herself just now. Why did he ask her again now? The thoughts of girls, especially Fuso girls, are really strange.

"Okay, so do you have a boyfriend?"

"Of course not. As soon as others heard that I was from the Mishima family, they were immediately scared away. I remember when I was in junior high school, I secretly liked a boy. That boy has a crush on me. However, when I said that I was from the Mishima family, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to come to school, and finally changed schools. ”

Gong Xiping couldn't help but think of Guan Shanyue talking about Mishima Ken's threat to him, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that a powerful family like the Mishima family, who would panic when he saw it. What's more, maybe that boy was also threatened by someone from the Mishima family, so he transferred to another school.

"Since then, as long as I say that I am from the Mishima family, both male and female classmates will immediately stay away from me. I don't want to talk about a boyfriend, I don't even have a normal friend. ”

Therefore, as a descendant of a big family, it seems to be very enviable to outsiders, but the pain is really only known to himself. Although Shizuka Mishima is very beautiful and the eldest lady of a big family, she can't even make a friend, which has to be said to be a sadness.

"Aren't we friends now?" Gong Xiping said.

When Shizuka Mishima heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, we are friends now." You're the first friend I've ever made. ”

"That's a good start."

"yes, I think it's nice to know you." Shizuka Mishima said with a smile.

"Really? Thank you. ”

"So, Pingsang, what are your hobbies? Or, what's something to like? ”

"Hobbies? In addition to drinking tea, there is. ”

"Tea and reading?" Shizuka Mishima said with some surprise, "These are all older people who are interested." In Fuso, only the old man likes to drink tea and read books. ”

"Really? Maybe I'm mentally old. ”

"I don't know what hobbies you boys in country Z usually have. At Fuso, boys of your age either like to play games or like cartoons. Or surf the Internet, or go karaoke and sing or something. Do you like all of these? ”

"These aren't for me." Gong Xiping shook his head and said.

"Don't you usually play with your friends?"

"Friends?" Gong Xiping thought for a while and said, "Sometimes I go to the bar with my friends to drink. ”

"Drinking?" Shizuka Mishima said in surprise, "You're still underage, aren't you?" Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. ”

"There is no such provision in our country. And, in some places, a few years old can drink spirits. ”

"Isn't it? Really? ”

"Really."

"This kind of place, I really want to see it."

"There's going to be a chance." Gong Xiping glanced at Shizuka Mishima and said meaningfully.

"Will it?" Shizuka Mishima had a look of fascination on her face and said, "Maybe you can follow Sister Noriko to have a look." ”

While the two were talking, Gong Xiping had already noticed that someone was coming towards them. He glanced back, only to see Noriko Mishima walking towards the two of them, while Sekiyamagaku was nowhere to be seen.

When Noriko Mishima walked in front of her, Kosaihei stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Dr. Mishima, are you finished?" Why didn't Professor Kwan come out with you? ”

Noriko Mishima smiled slightly and said, "He's talking to Chairman Ona about things, maybe I'll have to come over a little later." ”

Gong Xiping nodded and said, "Okay, I know, thank you." ”

"Don't be so polite." Noriko Mishima said with a smile, "I happened to see it when I came out just now. ”

Seeing Noriko Mishima coming, Shizuka Mishima also stood up and walked to Noriko Mishima's side. Noriko Mishima saw Shizuka Mishima walk up to her, and said with love in her eyes, "Shizuka, did you read another afternoon of books today?" ”

Shizuka Mishima smiled a little embarrassedly, then nodded.

Noriko Mishima stroked Shizuka Mishima's beautiful long hair and said softly, "I guess so." So as soon as I came in, I went straight to here, and sure enough, I could find you right away. ”

Shizuka Mishima smiled sweetly and said, "It's still Sister Noriko who knows me best." ”

Noriko Mishima glanced at Gong Xiping, and then said, "Do you want Gong Xi-san to be your teacher again?" ”

Shizuka Mishima's face turned red when she heard this, and she said a little shyly: "Yes, Pingsan knows a lot, he has taught me a lot." ”

A hint of uneasiness flashed in Mishima's eyes, but the expression on her face did not change at all. Still smiling, she said to Gong Xiping: "Gong Xisan, I'm really sorry, Shizuka is pestering you. ”

Gong Xiping said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm okay anyway, time flies faster here." ”

"That being said, I still have to thank you."

"Nothing."

Noriko Mishima turned her head to Shizuka Mishima and said, "Shizuka, we're going back." ”

"Going back?" Shizuka Mishima was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "Don't you have to wait for Dr. Guan to come back?" ”

"What are you waiting for Dr. Guan to do?"

"For" Shizuka Mishima said, she really couldn't say why she was waiting for Sekiyama. It's just that she instinctively felt that Gong Xiping had to wait for Guan Shanyue, so she should also wait together.

"Hehe, don't worry about Guan Sang, Gong Xisang will wait for him. Let's go back first. ”

"Oh, okay." Shizuka Mishima said with some frustration.

Noriko Mishima nodded at Gong Xiping and said, "Gong Xisan, then we'll go first." See you tomorrow. ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Shizuka Mishima said with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Goodbye, Heisan." ”

"Goodbye, Shizuka."

After saying goodbye to each other, Noriko Mishima left with Shizuka Mishima.

After Gong Xiping and the two walked away, they sat back in their seats, opened the book and read it for a while. Then, as if remembering something, he put down the book and pulled a small note from his pocket. This note was put in Daniel's pocket when he came to say hello at lunch. In fact, he also knew very well that for no reason, Daniel suddenly ran over and said something boring, there must be a reason. The moment Daniel slipped the note into his pocket, he understood what Daniel was here for.

He opened the note, which read, crookedly in English, "Saturday at 9:30 p.m., Juan XXIII Tourist Drive 22, Don Friorella Bar."

After Gong Xiping read it, his palm shook slightly, and the note turned into ashes.
