Chapter 44: What is soft does not work, what is hard is what is hard
"Marianne, I know, because of psychological hypnosis, your mood has improved a lot recently, would you like to come on stage and share it with us?"
Marianne's first reaction was to look at Zhou Zhen, Zhou Zhen reached out and grabbed her hand, and looked at Lomax who was kind on the stage.
Although he didn't know what the other party was doing, he always believed that all the designs and all the arrangements were aimed at him.
At this time, he will definitely not let the other party be satisfied.
Marianne held Zhou Zhen's hand, much more relieved, and just wanted to impulsively agree, but heard Zhou Zhen say, "I'm sorry, Professor Lomax." I know Marianne has been in a much more relaxed state lately because of your guidance, and as her husband, I can enjoy the pleasure of this effect......"
Everyone present couldn't help laughing, understanding Zhou Zhen's vague joke.
However, Lomax felt Zhou Zhen's resoluteness, which was not at all the attitude of a person who was ready to compromise.
"However, please allow us to retain a little privacy between couples, so, thank you for having me."
Lomax smiled and said, "Mr. Romez, since you have enjoyed this good result, don't you want this pleasure to last longer?" ”
Zhou Zhen shook his head, his eyes swept around the hall, and said with a confident look: "I graduated from the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, and the law department and the psychology department have always been inseparable disciplines. ”
Penn is one of the top 10 universities in the United States, with both law and psychology ranked in the top 10 in the United States, compared to the University of Florida, which is ranked 50.
When Zhou Zhen said this, everyone else would think that Zhou Zhen was proud.
"I am very much in recognition of the role and effect of psychology, and I also believe that psychology can promote our lives. However, I don't think Marianne can surpass me, and I don't want her to surpass me......
Psychology is known to be the only subject in which students can outperform professors. In many applications, professors get caught up in psychological tests of students without knowing it.
I'd rather my family life be a little more peaceful, a little more plain, and then, a little bit more initiative. ”
There were about fifty or sixty people present, and most of them laughed.
Zhou Zhen's words gave Professor Lomax a lot of face and gave him a step to step down.
He explained it in terms of the initiative of family life, which can be said to be a very reasonable request.
Lomax asked, "Mr. Romez, are you a masculine?" ”
"No, of course not. Everyone who knows me knows that my family life is happy and content. You may ask how we have maintained this state, and I would like to explain to you a little bit......"
Of course, Zhou Zhen would not let her wear a hat, and after putting it on, it would be difficult to take it off.
"When a man and a woman start a family, the first thing is to find a balance in life. A happy family requires men and women to adjust the balance between each other.
So, does this balance mean equality between men and women? Or is it equal rights for men and women? No!
All married people know that there is a need for compromise between husband and wife, and often the room for compromise is unequal.
Some husbands are strong, some are strong wives, some are husbands who give more to the family, and some are wives who give more to the family.
Every person is unique, and so is every family. There may be a standard for happiness, but misfortune comes from a variety of differences.
I'm happy with my family, Marianne, what about you? ”
Marianne said sweetly with a fascinated look in her eyes, "I'm also satisfied." ”
Her happiness can be seen by a person, and some people even applaud it.
Zhou Zhen smiled: "Look, this is the realistic result. Psychology is a spice, not a necessity, for our lives. If the original happiness is damaged even more because of the dispensing, this is the end of the day. ”
Professor Lomax still had a smile on his face. "First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your happiness, but I have a question. If just the concoction affects the outcome of happiness, it can only mean that happiness is not stable. ”
"Yes, I admit it. Because there is no happiness that is constant. Professor Lomax, I have a lot of respect for you, because you are very knowledgeable, and I don't want to debate with you.
I blocked it just because I didn't want to affect the outcome because of a trivial matter. It doesn't already affect the outcome, or it necessarily affects the outcome, I say that, can you understand? ”
Marianne wanted to speak, but was pinched by Zhou Zhen, and she closed her mouth again.
Although she wanted to argue for Professor Lomax, she would never risk making Zhou Zhen angry. In her heart, Zhou Zhen is more important than anyone else.
Professor Lomax on the stage nodded lightly and smiled softly: "Yes, I can understand, then, let me find another volunteer who is willing to go on stage." Now, would anyone like to come on stage and share with you how psychology has changed their lives? ”
A woman in her forties raised her hand, and her arrival on the stage also relieved the somewhat awkward atmosphere in the hall.
After she went up, the unusual debate between Zhou Zhen and Professor Lomax quickly subsided.
Zhou Zhen and Marianne then quietly became spectators until the end of the event.
When leaving, Professor Lomax still said goodbye to Zhou Zhen very intimately, and he didn't seem to have any mustard.
"Kevin, do you have any plans for tonight?"
Marianne, who had always been on guard, saw Christabella, who was a few points taller than herself, coming out, and immediately opened her burrs like a little hedgehog. "Today we have arranged to go home and cook dinner."
Christabella smiled disapprehantly: "Then forget it, in this strange city, I can only go back to the station to rest." ”
It wasn't until Christabella got into her car that Marianne's guard was lowered and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Honey, I don't like her." ”
Zhou Zhen smiled: "I don't like strong women either, let's get in the car......"
Sitting in the car, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The opponent is Satan and his subordinates, and the pressure on himself is also very great!
When all the attendees left, in the corner of the room, stood up a man who had not been noticed all this time.
Although there were more than fifty people in the hall, everyone seemed to have not noticed him.
He was there, but no one noticed, including Zhou Zhen.
There was no one else in the hall anymore, and Professor Lomax, who was still elegant and arrogant just now, had now become humble.
"Sir, you've seen Kevin's attitude with your own eyes, how do you feel?"
John Milton walked to the window and looked at the lively campus in the sunset, but did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Christabela, who had left just now, and Moyes, who had not shown up just now, walked in back and forth.
At this time, John Milton turned around and said: "I underestimated Kevin's toughness, and the plan for Kevin must be completely reset." Too mild means to open the line of defense set by Kevin. ”
"The line of defense?" Moyes asked, somewhat surprised, "Do you need to use this word?" ”
John Milton said: "This is a war of humanity and we need Kevin to expose his weaknesses, but he protects himself and Marianne with a tough shell. ”
Lomax nodded and said, "Kevin is the calmest young man I've ever met, and at all times, he is invincible first before he fights back. In the debate with me just now, he didn't reveal anything that could be attacked. ”
Christabella also said: "Marianne is his weakness, but he protects Marianne very well. ”
"Therefore let us break down the fortress which he thought was strong. He won't be with Marianne all the time, it only takes a few small tricks to make Marianne collapse. ”
John Milton stood at the window, looking out at the beautiful campus with his arms outstretched. "What a beautiful world, but where there is white, there must be black, where there is strength, there must be weakness, and where there is justice, there should be evil."
He turned around, looked at Lomax and said calmly, "I don't want to take too long, before we leave, Kevin must be made to surrender." You are ready here, maybe Marianne will come to you soon. ”
That night, Marianne and Zhou Zhen enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, and lay on the sofa watching the drama they were chasing.
Suddenly, the lights in the house flashed twice, and she looked up at the tube, and when she retracted her gaze, she noticed that a devil's head suddenly appeared on the TV screen.
The terrifying face was hung with strips of flesh, the two hollow eye sockets were glowing, the bleeding gums were exposed, and one by one said gloomily: "Wait for me ......"
Marianne couldn't help but scream, only to find that the TV screen had returned to normal.
Zhou Zhen in the study heard the voice and walked out. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was dazzled just now." Marianne said with some uncertainty, the cold in her heart did not dissipate.
Zhou Zhen frowned, Marianne is usually a big grin, and gaffes like this are rare.
In the original play, Kevin just didn't notice her changes that led to her tragedy, and now he won't make such a mistake.
He came to Marianne's side and put his arm around her shoulders. "Tomorrow weekend, there will be no overtime tonight."
"Isn't there a court session on Monday?"
"Of course, the case is not as important as yours."
As soon as the words fell, the lights in the room flashed twice, and Marianne suddenly leaned into Zhou Zhen's arms and looked nervously at the TV screen.
The original urban scene on the screen went black, and an eerie wall appeared, with two words dripping blood on it.
"I'm coming."
Marianne nervously pointed to the screen and asked, "Did you see that?" ”
