787, the bright sunshine of youth
"Actually, I really like you, although I don't know how to speak, but I still hope you can understand my heart."
The girl takes the prince to the alley behind the school café, where he often comes to feed the stray cats, and the shadows cast by the tall plane trees on sunny summer days make the place seem gentle and tranquil.
"Is your mind a knife?" The prince sat on the mottled bench, one hand gently caressing the body of the tanuki cat: "If I refuse, you take out your knife, or solve it or I will solve yourself." ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and her face turned pale, in fact, she didn't need to ask for an answer, her expression had already written everything on it. But the prince didn't do anything, just opened a small box fixed in it, took out a handful of cat food and handed it to the girl: "Here you go." ”
The girl was stunned for a moment: "You ......"
"When I'm alone and have nothing to do, I come here to feed the cats. I don't advise you either, because I'm not you, I don't know how you feel, so I can't tell you some chicken soup, but I know that there are some things that are worth living well. ”
The prince maintained a very relaxed posture, looking up at the canopy above his head, the weather was bright in the afternoon, the temperature was not too high, there was a breeze and a faint fragrance of flowers, and the sound of cicadas had come out, but it was not harsh.
"Okay, what are you going to tell me? Now it can be said. ”
The prince took out a can of iced coffee for Yin Rong from the small bag he was carrying and handed it forward: "Drink something, I'll invite you." ”
"I ......" the girl took the coffee tremblingly, "but I ......"
"My teacher once told me that love is the most unworthy emotion in the world, all the love that is praised is just a leaf in the sea, and the idol dramas we often watch are aphrodisiacs for girls, and the things in it are too ethereal, they are all a sweet net woven by the screenwriter and director." The prince's tone was the same as Gu Tao's at the moment: "We are strangers in the first place, just because you have met me a few times somewhere, and you told me that you have strong feelings and love for me, so what do you think this kind of thing means to me?" ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Like, of course, it's always right. You have the right to like anybody and you have the right to dislike anybody. That's freedom, right. But if you have to make someone you like like you, that's wrong. And you're even prepared to hurt yourself for a stranger's rejection. The prince looked up at the girl and said with a smile: "Even if I am killed by you, I don't feel it, if I die, I will die, and then enter the next reincarnation." But what about the back? My family, you, your family, your friends, those who like you, those who love you will all go to hell. It's just a pain in the face for me and I don't know anything, but for you it's a decades of anxiety and regret for decades to come. ”
The prince held out his hand: "Give me the knife." ”
The girl has now lost her judgment, and silently took out the fruit knife in her arms, and the prince took it and broke it directly into iron slag: "What's more, it won't hurt me, but will turn you into a demon." ”
Seeing the prince's movements, the girl stood there in a daze.
"Alright, alright." The prince got up and held out his hand to her: "If you really like me, then start with friends, and don't do anything to hurt yourself." ”
The girl trembled and stretched out her hand to shake the prince gently, and then the prince smiled and withdrew his hand: "I often come to this coffee shop, if you are free, you can also come and help me feed the cat, the password of the cat food box is 0000, you can open it yourself." ”
"Then ......" the girl called out, then stopped her voice: "Thank you......"
"You're welcome, but I want to thank you."
"Thank me? Why? ”
"Thank you for liking me." The prince smiled and waved at her, "See you later." ”
"Hmm...... See you later. ”
Walking out of the alley, the prince let out a sigh of relief. He laughed silently, if he followed his original temperament, he would definitely use various methods to send this woman to the police station. But at that time, he suddenly remembered Gu Tao in his mind, the teacher once said, you can be born without being too strong, but you must be kind, give people roses to have a lingering fragrance, there is never more than one way to solve problems, and the best solution is sometimes the most unexpected.
Now that I think about it, the teacher is a real social person, and his ability and level of dealing with interpersonal relationships can be said to be the peak, just now the prince just used Gu Tao's way to deal with this kind of thing, but it was unexpectedly solved very well.
Looking back, the girl was sitting in a chair playing with the tanuki cat just now, and you could see the tears on her face, but the tears were worthless, it would soon disappear, but the soft cat would always live in her heart.
The girl went back to the dormitory, and her roommate didn't know that she had brought a knife, only that she had gone out to confess, so when he saw her come back, he immediately surrounded her and asked her how she was doing.
"Didn't work out? I knew it...... He's such a cold man. ”
A roommate pursed his lips, saying that he had already guessed, after all, like that kind of male god, where can any girl get close to. And this guy is not a top beauty, maybe people don't even bother with her.
"No...... He ......" The girl lowered her head and smiled: "He is the most gentle person in the world, a real prince." ”
"How's it going? What did he tell you? ”
"That'...... Then you can't tell anyone else. ”
When this sentence came out, basically the whole school knew what the prince had done in the afternoon, and when the girls heard what he had done, it was really a star in their eyes.
Listen to what he said, how good a person must be to say such a thing, and how gentle it is to protect someone who might hurt him.
This made the already high-ranking male god raise his reputation again, and even some people who were not interested in him before began to be curious about this son, who is known as not having a son in a hundred years.
"It's too hard for me." The prince sat next to Yin Rong and complained to her, "I now know why the teacher is so likeable. ”
"Hmm." Yin Rong's eyes were still swollen, and she sat on the sofa with a pillow and ate potato chips, seemingly not caring about what happened to the prince at all.
"His way of thinking is actually to start from others, rational and sincere consideration for others, this way is too gentle, really no girl can bear such tenderness. The warmth is going to melt away. ”
Yin Rong didn't speak, just gestured with her fingers on the scissors......
"Know, know...... I won't, no one can compare to you. ”
"Hmm."
"What's on the letter from the teacher? Show me. ”
"Nope."
"Show me."
"Nope." Yin Rong shook her head vigorously: "I can't give it." ”
"What's that about......"
"Let me take care of myself." Yin Rong said, tears flowed out again, and the sobbing looked pitiful.
"Okay...... the prince hugged her hard: "Don't cry, don't cry, and me, I will take care of you." ”
"Hmmm......"
At this time, Gu Tao was celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, he was sitting in the small courtyard washing zongzi leaves, next to a big yellow dog, the father was picking wormwood leaves next to him, and the father and son did not speak, only heard the chatter inside.
"Don't mess with him! Put it down, put it down. Vivi shouted anxiously, "Children can't shake like this." ”
Liuzi hugged Gu ginseng and refused to let go: "You see how happy he laughs." ”
"Put it down, put it down." Wei Wei snatched the Gu ginseng and hugged it in her arms: "You are really ......"
Tingting walked in from outside, and looked at her silly son giggling with laughter in Weiwei's hands: "He's naughty, if no one plays with him, he can make trouble for a day." ”
"Eh, you're breastfeeding, does it hurt when he used to drink milk?"
"At first, it was fine, but then he started to grow teeth when he had the strength, and it hurt very much, and it would break."
Liuzi glanced at Weiwei after asking, and then sighed: "This old lady is lucky, she hasn't fed much." ”
"I didn't ......" Weiwei smiled awkwardly at Tingting: "I have less milk." ”
As he was talking, Gu Tao's wife came out of the kitchen: "Come and help make zongzi." ”
"Come on!" Liuzi jumped up: "I'll come, I'll come." ”
"Don't come." Weiwei handed the Gu ginseng to Tingting, and then pressed Liuzi: "You can't eat what you packed, I'll come." ”
Weiwei's cooking skills are top players, which even Gu Tao's mother praises, although she doesn't know what kind of magic her son uses to get so many girls, but she really feels that her son is not worthy of these children, these are all good children......
"What about the other little things?"
Daddy Gu Tao suddenly asked.
"I'll be here later, don't worry."
Every week, Gu Tao will stay here with her sister, brother and two daughters-in-law for a few days, and it has not been interrupted for two years, which has become the day that Weiwei looks forward to the most every week, where she can be a good mother dutifully, which makes her feel not lonely at all.
"Eh, Dad."
"Huh?" The old man raised his head and glanced at Gu Tao: "What's wrong?" ”
"What day do you miss the most?"
"Me? I miss the days when my mom and your grandma were still there. The old man wiped his hands on his apron, lit a cigarette and handed one to Gu Tao: "When your grandmother was still there, how old I was a child." As soon as your grandmother left, I knew I was going to become an adult, and I was going to shelter you little rabbits from the wind and rain. ”
"It's tiring to be an adult."
"Hmm." The old man nodded lightly: "It's okay, it's just that sometimes I call my mother when I dream." ”
Gu Tao nodded, he could understand. In this world, his children are happy and his parents are complete. In fact, he had already lost his parents once, and although it had been a long, long time, he still reminisced about the scenes he used to come home on weekends.
Later, he lost his home, and he was actually really chaotic for a long time, and he lost the goal he was fighting for. It wasn't until he became a family that he understood what he was going to do.
Soon, the little rabbit cub demolition team came, the sister and brother obviously grew up, the little black stuck to the younger brother, and the little white probe probed the brain to tease the big yellow dog at home, and they came to a burst of grandparents' barking, which made the old man and the old lady laugh.
"Let's start debriefing."
Gu Tao pulled his younger brother aside alone and asked him to start his routine report. Although the younger brother is a little helpless about this father, he is a father after all......
"Aunt Tifa, they've been the same lately, Uncle Arco is getting married, on the seventh of next month. And also...... My uncle hadn't woken up yet, and he had been sitting there for more than two years, and his appearance hadn't changed at all. My sister's master is getting more and more beautiful, and she is better looking than her mother, which is very magical. Aunt Jingyuan has been working overtime during this time, and she went on a business trip a few days ago. And then it's gone. ”
"What about Eucalyptus and Xiaofeng?"
"I can't even see them, they have their own circles." The younger brother shook his head and said, "But everything is fine, you don't have to worry." ”
"Okay." Gu Tao rubbed his brother's hairstyle with satisfaction: "Go and play." ”
After being let go by his father, the younger brother breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not leave, but sat next to the little white dragon and refused to enter the house.
"Why don't you go in?"
"I'm with Sister Bai." The younger brother dragged his cheeks and looked at the little white dragon and answered his father's question: "And I have to be tortured by Xiao Hei when I go in, my body is weak and I can't bear it." ”
"Oh, where are you now? When you enter puberty, you can't bear it. ”
The younger brother glanced at Gu Tao with a strange expression: "Dad, how old am I, can you be a little more restrained when driving, this is a stroller." ”
"If you don't come, I don't know what level of your intellectual development is? Anyway, you can't be partial in the future, it's okay to like Xiaobai, but you can't ignore Xiaohei. ”
"I know, I know, the family tradition is stained with rain and dew." The younger brother sighed: "I still like Sister Bai." ”
Although the little white dragon didn't look back, he was blushing when he squatted there, and he didn't even have the heart to tease the dog......
"Today's children are so precocious." Gu Tao shook his head silently: "When I was so old with you, I was still studying the animal visual system, and you have already begun to fall in love." ”
A large room full of people is lively, seeing this scene Gu Tao is even more eager to make this world real, if it can be successful, it is really great, he can go home at any time, or he can take his family to the empire he built with his own hands to have a look.
And now...... Gu Tao didn't know if the two elders could accept that their identities were actually simulated signals.
Of course, it is still the same sentence, maybe for everyone, this is a virtual world, but for Gu Tao, either side is the real world. He knows better than anyone else, but at the same time he is more confused than anyone else, and besides, why should life be black and white.
"Fishing tomorrow?" Gu Tao suddenly said to his father: "I got two sets of imported poles, and they will arrive tomorrow." ”
"Really?"
"Let's go to the reservoir in East Lake."
"Hehe...... the old man smiled with satisfaction: "Then don't tell your mother, just say that we will go out to do errands." ”
"Okay!" Gu Tao nodded heavily: "I still have some private money, let's go have a good meal again." ”
"Gotta drink."
"White!"
