Chapter Seventy-Two: Refusal to Marry

Watching Anton take Mimi to touch the bread starfish in the experience pool, Qi Min's heart was full of peace and tranquility. Zhang Songxue stood beside her, as if she could also empathize with this mammalian nature of "caring for offspring".

She said with some emotion again: "Da Min, you are so Ou. ”

"You don't have to." Qi Min smiled, "If you get married and have a daughter, you probably can look better than Mimi." My brother Great Leap's appearance is not a joke. ”

To be honest, Wei Siyue in middle school did not belong to the category of being handsome, but he was gentle and quiet, and he was not as good as Qi Min at that time, and he was quite popular with girls. Now Qi Min doesn't know what he looks like, and the photos of him in Zhang Songxue's circle of friends are not bad, but in the group photos he posted, he looks black and ordinary.

But after all, it's a buddy.,Even if you rob your own friend, you have to say something good.。

The Great Leap ...... He must have wanted to dink. Zhang Songxue said lightly.

"Ah, why?" Qi Min was a little strange, but what was strange about her was not that Wei Siyue thought about Dink, "What do you think, haven't you discussed it yet?" ”

Faced with this problem, Zhang Songxue hesitated. She was unusually silent for a moment before replying, "I want to discuss it with him, too, but now it seems ...... Great Leap doesn't seem to want to get married much anymore. ”

"What's wrong?" Qi Min hurriedly asked, "Songsong, don't be joking, what's wrong with you and Da Yue?" ”

Zhang Songxue turned her head to look at Qi Min, her fair face seemed to fluoresce in the dim and cold light of the aquarium. It seemed that this question made it difficult for her to answer, but Zhang Songxue still spoke: "I don't know what's wrong...... I asked him about getting married, and he didn't refuse at the time, but then he didn't say no. ”

"Uh...... Maybe he didn't feel in a hurry? Qi Min tried to analyze.

"Isn't there a hurry? Oh my God, it's been more than ten years. Zhang Songxue couldn't help but bring a tone particle, "In addition to the two of us, who have you seen who has been in love for more than ten years and has not married?" ”

Qi Min thought about it, she hadn't seen anyone else, but she hadn't actually had an in-depth understanding of many couples. And Qi Min doesn't think it's good for those who get married at a young age just after graduation. When I go to college, there is no interest relationship, and many people can show their most interesting side, but when they graduate, things that involve their own future will reveal their utilitarian nature - for example, the so-called successful person Qin Zhenjun who became a PI in a TOP5 university.

"It's not so bad if you don't get married." Qi Min comforted her, "According to the origin of the marriage system, this itself only exists as a part of private ownership. You and Great Leap are not short of money and don't care, isn't there nothing happening to live like this now? ”

Zhang Songxue felt that there was some truth when she heard it, but she still asked Qi Min: "Damin, why don't you get married?" ”

"I ...... Uh......" Qi Min didn't want to admit that it was because she was poor, but in addition to having no money, she really had a more reasonable reason, "I just don't think I can rashly add immediate family members to myself." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Songxue asked.

"Would you rather have your parents represent you or your boyfriend when you want your immediate family to make decisions on your behalf?" Qi Min said, "Of course, I believe that if something happens to you, Dayue will definitely choose to save you without hesitation." But how to say it...... I think it might be a good thing to have someone who can meddle in your own destiny. ”

From the point of view of evolutionary biology, for a young human under the age of thirty, the parents are almost infertile, so they have a lower genetic value, and it is very easy to get the elderly parents to resolve to save the young child. However, the spouse is different, and the spouse itself has a higher genetic value. We all know that "don't put all your eggs in one basket", if you have a high genetic value, it is more in line with the maximization of benefits in the genetic sense to prepare for both. In such a situation, the average person would be more likely to give priority to their parents in decision-making in times of crisis – especially if they are in a coma and need surgery to save their lives.

Of course, human decision-making is not only influenced by genes, but also by ideology – the so-called "meme" – without which no one would be able to consider an unrelated child as their own. Qi Min and Anton gave Mimi the name Meme (meme) with this intention.

Zhang Songxue understood what she meant, but she was also very sure that Wei Siyue was not so willing to get married, but it was not because of this. She just asked, "What, Damin, don't you believe your boyfriend?" ”

"I believe it." Qi Min replied without hesitation. At least in matters related to life, Anton will still resolutely choose to save people. Of course, on the other hand, he may not care so much about the future, whether it is his own or Qi Min's. "But I don't want to put my fate on 'believing'. After all, I can be sure that my parents will be determined to save me, and there is no need to 'believe' it. ”

"That'...... Conversely, if something happens to your boyfriend, will you be determined to save him? Zhang Songxue asked again.

According to the logic of the selfish gene theory, this question does not seem so easy to answer. But Qi Min immediately said, "Of course it will." After all, he has no parents, if I don't save him, then am I still a person? ”

Hearing this answer, Zhang Songxue couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds, and then said in some surprise: "Damin, you ...... What a nice guy. ”

"It's basic morality." Qi Min sighed helplessly.

Zhang Songxue felt that her Ji You's sense of morality had improved too quickly, but after thinking about it, she could adopt a mixed-race little girl as a girl, I'm afraid she was going to become a saint.

At this time, Mimi ran over again and pulled Qi Min to touch the bread starfish in the experience pool. Qi Min couldn't resist her, so he had to touch the starfish in the pool twice.

"Mom, why aren't bread starfish soft?" Mimi asked.

"Because starfish have a layer of hard spines on their bodies, they are called echinoderms. It's called a bread starfish because it looks like bread, but it doesn't really have anything to do with bread. Qi Min began to pour her little zoological "inventory" again, "Mimi, remember, jellyfish are protostomian animals, and humans are posterior animals, so guess whether the starfish is a protostomouth animal or a posterior animal?" ”

"It's a Haraguto!" The little girl guessed at once. Radially symmetrical ones are usually inferior, bilaterally symmetrical ones are usually higher, lower ones are protostomates, and higher ones are posterior orozoans – this is the general rule.

"Generally speaking, animals like this without notochord are indeed protostomates, but echinoderms are posterior animals." Qi Min said, "Although starfish look a bit like jellyfish or something, they are all round and have no obvious heads, but their radially symmetrical structure is secondary......"

Mimi looked up at Qi Min with a small face, and nodded as if she didn't understand. Anton next to him deliberately took off his sunglasses and showed Qi Min an expression of "You are really a NERD".
