Chapter 17: Two Worlds
Sometimes Gu San speaks in a tone like a robot without the slightest emotional fluctuation. Her words really succeeded in angering Murong Yuhua once again. The man in front of him has a very striking characteristic, he hates any kind of questioning, except for the elder with whom he agrees, anyone who talks about anything that undermines his authority in the slightest way will be rejected and refuted by him.
After all, in this world, he is in control of everything, everyone is subservient to him, no one will try to overthrow his "rule", and people's obedience is natural and natural.
This is the world that Murong Yuhua has always been accustomed to and recognized, he should always occupy the initiative, no matter in which field, even if it is love or marriage, he should be the one who says the same.
But the accident still happened, Gu San never took his authority in his eyes, from the very beginning of the meeting, she would smash his right to speak again and again, which made Murong Yuhua feel that his words and deeds were like a joke, what he did seemed ridiculous, and everything he had was like child's play.
Don't doubt yourself when you think there's something authoritative to back you up. Doubt will bring everything down, because "authority" is a man-made deception, and everyone rationalizes all exploitation around a virtual world built by one person for the same goal, and exalts a person to make him forgive everything.
Therefore, before Murong Yuhua met Gu San, he had never become another self who recognized the truth outside of four to six o'clock, and he clearly understood that if he wanted to get used to all this and enjoy all this, his current self was the most suitable.
Murong Yuhua sat up straight and said sternly, "My intelligence is not your turn to question. What do you mean that I like to listen to lies? I'm just allowing others to embellish their expressions to the extent I know them. ”
Gu San didn't even raise his eyelids, and said bluntly: "You didn't choose An Lian because you liked her, you just felt 'simple' and 'convenient'." You are false, he is real. ”
After Gu San finished speaking, he finally didn't forget to summarize with Murong Yuhua's slightly angry gaze.
"In this way, you are indeed two people. He is better than you, and you are afraid that he will replace you. ”
"Enough!" The man interrupted her angrily, "I'm negotiating with you, not listening to what you say about me!" ”
"You get angry and don't want to listen to other people's opinions."
"You're not done!"
"But maybe you also know it's all you, it's just that you don't want to admit it, you don't want to deny yourself. I don't know what your 'self-confidence' is, but it's not much like 'being suspicious'. ”
Murong Yuhua scolded angrily: "You are really an impolite woman. ”
"And you're a weak chicken with little power."
"You-" Murong Yuhua raised his hand and pointed at Gu San, but before he could say anything, Gu San directly grabbed his tie and pulled him in front of him.
The distance between the two was instantly closer, Murong Yuhua looked at her, thinking of the fist he had received, and the words that he was about to blurt out swallowed back into his stomach.
Gu San said: "You like lies, boasting, all the falsehoods. But falsehood is always the most useless. Lies do not bring bullets, food and safety. ”
After saying this, the car also stopped, Gu San let go of his hand and opened the car door by herself, and at the moment when she was about to get out of the car, the person in the car suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
"I'll tell the truth."
Gu San turned around, and Murong Yuhua grinned on his face, which was an expression that belonged to another sincere person. He took Gu San's hand and approached: "Whatever I like, what I hate, or what I want to accomplish, I will tell the truth." ”
Zhu Li had already come over at this time, and noticed that the atmosphere between Gu San and Murong Yuhua was good, paused for a second, and immediately turned around, returned the same way, and disappeared into the underground parking garage.
Murong Yuhua sat in the car, his eyes showed a little caution, he seemed to notice the softening of Gu San's expression, lowered his head, put his hand into the suit pocket, and stretched out something in front of her, and opened his palm.
"Give."
It is a cherry tree.
Gu San twisted the small petal flower, Murong Yuhua leaned over to observe the change in her expression, and saw that she smiled slowly, as if relieved: "I'm always afraid that I will accidentally upset you like a fool." ”
Gu San shook his head: "I'm not unhappy. ”
"You have. It may not be obvious, but I feel it. You don't like me being so close to An Lian, and you don't like me yelling at you every time. ”
Gu San put the small petal flower into his palm: "That's you, too." I don't really like it, but I don't get angry. After all, from the first day I met you, I knew you were stupid sometimes. ”
Murong Yuhua followed her out of the car, he took off his tie again, took off his coat, ripped off the top two buttons of his shirt and walked beside Gu San.
"I hate to admit it, but that's another way of being smart. Sometimes, I think it's just this 'stupidity' that keeps me confident and happy. ”
"It seems that you know yourself well, but the other you don't agree with you."
"If I could come to a consensus so quickly, there wouldn't be so much." The two of them walked out of the underground parking garage together and walked up the stairs, "But the past two days have also allowed me to slowly figure out the pattern." As long as I don't want to answer, I want to escape, I don't want to continue this conversation, if I disobey me but I don't want to continue arguing, the 'confident' and 'narcissistic' me will disappear, and now this me will appear. ”
"So, you're solving the problem for him?"
"I'm dodging questions for him. Of course, it's okay if you look at these two things as one thing. ”
Pushing the door out of the stairs is the wine cellar. Murong Yuhua noticed Gu San's gaze at the wine cabinet and took the initiative to propose, "Do you want to have a drink?" ”
"It's dinner time in a moment."
"That doesn't affect drinking." He took the initiative to pull out the chair for Gu San, then took out the glass, took out the ice cubes and whiskey and poured it into the glass. Murong Yuhua's movements are skillful, and it seems that there are many people who secretly come down to drink.
Gu San sat behind the bar and was slightly curious: "Why did you only find out the rules until today, could it be that before I appeared, no one would disobey Murong Yuhua?" ”
"I didn't have so many 'accidents' in my life before you appeared."
Murong Yuhua handed her the wine. Gu San took a sip and raised his eyebrows slightly at him.
The man smiled helplessly, and after the wine went down, he seemed to sigh: "Sometimes life is too smooth, and you can't tell whether it's a dream or a reality." For 'me', that's how the world works. No one disobeys me or questions me, my character should be cultivated to be unsightly, self-confident, the world is under my control, whether it is people or things, they can become my pawns. In my eyes, even the most basic economic laws can be tampered with and reversed. I can control the whole world. ”
"Your tone now sounds a bit like 'that' Murong Yuhua."
"Sort of, right?" Murong Yuhua looked at his hands, "Turning my hands into clouds and covering my hands into rain, I seem to be in this world, as long as I am a young overlord." ”
"Are you showing off?"
"Nope." Murong Yuhua put his hand down, "I'm telling you a joke." ”
That being said, he didn't laugh himself.
"A lot of people here are like that, like they're prescribed to do something, and it doesn't matter if it's extreme. Like An Lian's stupidity, my stupidity, Zhu Li's loyalty, and the insidious cunning and viciousness of some people. Simple and straightforward, as if ...... It's as if that's all there is to his life. ”
Murong Yuhua looked at his hand hanging on the table, and gradually looked up at Gu San with a wry smile: "Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Everyone seems to have only one face, and their joys and sorrows are all ignored. They appear here and I appear here, both have only one function. And we never have the slightest doubt about the fate of this world, accept it, and live with it, as if that is enough. But as a human being...... Should you just live your life according to the established rules as a human being? Can't you just do something beyond your original life plan? ”
"Life here is simply and crudely like a dream," he said. ”
Murong Yuhua's palms slowly clenched, and his voice gradually deepened, not knowing whether he was saying it to Gu San or to himself.
"Like a fake."
Gu San quietly listened to him express himself, and her silence and silence made Murong Yuhua gradually calm down. He took a sip of his wine with some embarrassment, as if trying to hide his overly emotional weakness after saying this.
"But you can still think about truth or falsehood. Aren't you curious about my life? In my previous life, I was not even qualified to question that everything was a dream. Gu San said, slowly sighing, "We only have to keep running for our lives, and we want to survive every day." You just have to think about the empty question of 'are you or not?', but what we have to think about is how many people can be saved, how many people can live, who is willing to sacrifice, who is willing to leave their lives to others. ”
She said these words with great blandness, because they were just things that happened almost every day of her life. Murong Yuhua was stunned there, for some reason he was a little at a loss, what they were talking about was completely different issues, they were all very important, yes, but in comparison, what Gu San said was too realistic.
Reality to the point of brutality. The reality is so bloody that there is an inexplicable sense of pain.
Gu San raised his head and drank the wine, and pushed the empty glass forward: "Now it seems that maybe that 'your' choice is right." At least he enjoys the 'falsehood' in the 'falsehood' and is proud of it and gets used to everything. It may not be this wise 'you' who is protecting you. It's the stupid 'you' who is protecting 'you'. If it weren't for the fact that there were only two hours in a day, and you were thinking about everything anytime and anywhere, sooner or later one day you would either destroy the world or the world would destroy you. ”
Murong Yuhua was surprised by how many words she suddenly had and what she said. After Gu San said this, she stood up and said the words she always liked to say.
"Are you going to eat? Hungry again. ”
But Murong Yuhua still stopped her before she was about to walk out of the bar.
"I have one last question. I'm afraid it's too late to ask if I'll see you again until midnight. ”
Gu San stopped and motioned for him to speak.
"How do you say goodbye where you live?"
Gu San seemed slightly surprised by the question he asked. She replied very sincerely: "We don't have time to say goodbye. Saying 'goodbye' is a luxury. ”
"Then you ......"
"One of the things we are most likely to say when we part...... It's 'go fast'. ”
Saying "goodbye" is something that only people in peacetime are qualified to do, and only then can there be a chance to say goodbye. But in Gu San's world, there is rarely a chance to "say goodbye".
She and her mother were not able to "say goodbye". She and Uncle Zhang also failed to "say goodbye".
But she seemed to suddenly think of something, chuckled inexplicably, and said to Murong Yuhua, "Do you want to stay here and finish the wine?" Then I'll go upstairs. Murong Yuhua, goodbye. ”
"I'll see you later," she said. ”
