Chapter 244: Persuasion
Why drink tea? This question is very different from why you smoke or why you drink. Because tea is not a spiritual dependency. If it is just to satisfy the need to quench thirst, plain water is good.
As the ancient Chinese said that drinking soup in winter, drinking water in summer, etc., there is no need to fan the soup before making tea, and then wait for the tea to sink when it is not sunk to scrape and eat in a bowl.
There is also a saying that tea can eliminate food and relieve greasyness. This proposition has a tendency to be aristocratic. In the eyes of the last days, if you are tired of asking for something but you can't get it, how can it be dissolved? Therefore, when you are poor, occasionally a piece of big fat can be wiped around in the rice, and it is called "golden oil", so you don't need to use tea to melt and dissolve.
In fact, the terms aristocratic and noble are sometimes interchangeable. The reason for this is that they can all be expensive. Some people say that tea can cool and relieve the heat, but this is not a real reason. Because there are also people who drink tea in winter.
Just like at this moment, Ning Xiao and Qin Ji's mother was drinking tea under the blooming plum tree. Although plum blossoms are the first branches of spring, they still mean winter.
"Ah," Qin Ji's mother drank the tea brewed by Ning Xiao, and after a long time, she came back to her senses. "If it snows, drinking this tea again will definitely have a special charm."
"It's easy!" Ning Xiao responded on the spot. "Smack!" She snapped her fingers briskly.
Soon, snow began to fall in the sky. Ning Xiao was above them again, reaching out and waving a circle. The snowflakes didn't fall on them, as if they had made a huge transparent umbrella.
Startled, Qin Ji's mother involuntarily put down the teacup and stood up. She saw the snowflakes falling from the sky through the transparent place above, and she would rather float away than float to her, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Ah, that's amazing. Human abilities can go so far as to command the snow in the sky. ”
"Yes, Auntie!" Ning Xiao also stood up and stood behind Qin Xiao's mother. "Therefore, although this last era has carried out a very cruel elimination of human beings, it has also given very rich rewards to human beings - the supernatural can not only have the ability to control some laws of nature, but also extend their lifespan."
"After entering the fifth level, the lifespan of 500 years is just beginning. If you can reach level 20, you will be able to cross the millennium. That's why we, the Abilities, are always looking for ways to improve our abilities. ”
"So what?" Obviously, Qin Xiao's mother had already understood Ning Xiao's intention. "I'm just an ordinary person, without any special abilities, so I'm destined to live no more than a hundred years. However, I only hope that in the limited years I can see my only son start a family, is that wrong? ”
"But, Auntie, have you ever thought about it: if you find a girl for Qin Shao that he doesn't like, it will make him miserable for five hundred years? Rather than this, it is better to let him slowly find a girl who suits him over the course of hundreds of years. ”
At the same time, I also asked Qin Shao, and he made it very clear that he didn't want women who were not superpowers. He didn't want to go back to finding a partner after a hundred years. ”
"I'm very much in favor of that. Qin Shao is a very good person. I also hope that his descendants will be even better. If you look for an ordinary girl, only 50% of their children are likely to be supernatural, which is something that no one can help. ”
"Really?" Qin Ji's mother smiled. "When I was younger, there was an incident that had a big impact on me. When I gave birth to Ah Ji, I couldn't let go of that in my heart. Would you like to hear about it? ”
"Auntie, please speak," Ning Xiao asked Qin Xiao's mother to sit back in her place. She continued to make tea, while Qin Ji's mother told about her youth.
No matter what the years, if a man and a woman have worked closely together for a long time, and both parties have good appearances, there will soon be rumors that the two are "having an affair". I've heard a lot of men and women talk about it like this. Unfortunately, I have been talked about in this way.
The male protagonist who is talked about behind my back is the happy time when he often enjoys afternoon tea with me, and Hans, who works closely with me at work.
Is there a "personal relationship" between us? I have always made a simple denial of this and have not been able to explain much. Gradually, I started to stop thinking that I was having an affair with Hans because I couldn't explain it. At the very least, me, Hans, and Hans's wife knew that there was no affair between me and him.
The Hans I knew was a handsome and sunny mixture. He dresses very aristocraticly, loves to wear light-colored clothes, and often dresses himself in elegant fashion.
As a half-partner in an advertising agency, at that time, he earned a lot of money, often used an Audi sports car to get around, and spoke a foreign language fluently. Even the actresses who have worked with them are often attracted by Hans's temperament.
One day, Hans and I had afternoon tea together. I couldn't help but say, "You know what? Ever since I was rumored to have had an affair with you, I've become the enemy of countless women? ”
"Uh-huh!" Hans, who was drinking whiskey, smiled at me and said, "But I know you who are never afraid of enemies, let alone villains." ”
"Hmmm! You often laugh at me for being a villain's nemesis. It's because of the villain, the more you are afraid of him, the more offensive he becomes. You don't have to fight or avoid villains, you just ignore them and suffocate them. ”
"Haha!" Hans burst out laughing.
"Thank you," Hans said to me, "Cheers to you for keeping this secret of mine, for always helping me carry the cauldron." ”
"Cheers!" I responded cheerfully.
We drank it all. So, what am I keeping a secret for Hans?
Hans was very masculine in appearance, but despite having a family, he was a homosexual. Outside, Hans has always had a boyfriend who has been dating for many years. His wife had always known this. The couple also kept arguing over the third party. Hans is caught between his wife and his lover – torn between a dilemma.
Originally, I wouldn't have found out this secret. I worked with Hans for several years, and according to women's intuition, I just felt that he was not interested in me, or even in other more feminine women. But given his marital status, I always thought he was a good man who was loyal to his wife.
However, Hans was preoccupied by chance, and from time to time he hid in the conference room and made mysterious phone calls. Once, he went on a trip abroad. Clinker, his wife called the company to ask if he was traveling on business. That's when I realized that he had been hiding a third person outside.
Of course, I didn't doubt his sexuality at the time. Because it's hard for anyone to think that a man with a wife turns out to be a homosexual.
Until one day, his wife suddenly came to the company and pointed the finger at me! She asked me in public, "Have you been fooling around with Hans?" ”
"You—" I immediately turned red-faced, and I was so angry that I wanted to rush up and punch her! What is the use of me answering "no" even if I answer "no" when she asks in public like this?
It's like being in a crowded elevator, where someone farts and the person next to you points at you and asks loudly, "Are you farting?" "It's useless for you to answer anything, because everyone in the elevator will immediately assume that you are farting. The most annoying thing is that it's really not me.
However, a good upbringing allowed me to endure this humiliation.
When Hans came back, the first thing he did was to apologize to me. At the same time, he also brought that mysterious third person to introduce me to him.
His name was Henry, and he was a young man in his twenties, who looked and felt very similar to Hans, and was surprisingly similar. is like another him in the world, but the age difference between the two is more than 20 years.
So, I kept thinking to myself: Is Hans considered gay? Or is he originally a narcissistic person, so he is deeply in love with someone who is very similar to himself.
"Hans," I asked. "Why don't you make it clear to your wife? It made her feel like she was going crazy. ”
At that time, I was self-righteous that it would be painful for two husbands and wives to live together without being honest.
"When I came back, she told me about coming to the company to find you. She cried and told me that the third party was you? I was shocked. So, I had to tell my wife about the six years I've been with Henry. I never thought that Hans would throw the answer to me like this.
"Ahh My eyes widened in disbelief. "And how did your wife react?"
"Nope!" Hans shrugged in reply. "She didn't have any adverse reactions and seemed calm. Next, she told me how much she wished she wanted to be a woman. It turned out that there were some things that she had already guessed. ”
"Will she divorce you?" I immediately asked again. Because if it were me, I would have done it.
"At first I thought the same thing, but later, when she calmed down, she told me that she would never leave me and would not agree to a divorce. She decided to just wait for me. However, we had a serious argument about divorce. ”
"Why would you want to accept such a treatment? Let's give her back a freedom, and give you and Henry a freedom. ”
"She loves me so much that she hates me, and I owe her so much that I can't do anything to force a divorce. She also said she would kill herself. However, I really can't live without Henry. I know that if we go on like this, the three of us will one day perish together. ”
At that moment, I felt a chill in my heart. Hans, who has always been calm and tough at work, and has a meticulous mind, actually binds himself to this predicament until the moment of sudden explosion strikes.
At that time, I believed that there were many people in this world who had stories behind them that were contrary to their appearance. But what I never expected was that Hans, who was rational on the outside and decisive in doing things, could be so hesitant in the face of affection. I can't imagine how painful it will be for these three people to go on.
In this way, I really don't want to put any more pressure on Hans's bomb. So sometimes, knowing that others are talking about me behind my back, I have the right to turn a deaf ear to Hans's suspected third party.
"Hans, I can only silently bless you." So at that time, I tried my best to make it easy for him to spend this short but happy time.
Later, as I expected, Hans finally couldn't take it anymore and shot himself. His lover also closed with him. As for his wife, she endured the pain to raise the child.
"However, the more I am afraid of something, the more it comes," Qin Ji's mother took another sip of tea. She finally spit out the depression that had been held in her chest for many years, and her whole person became refreshed. "You've been with Ah Ji for a while. Did you find out: he is a very narcissistic person? ”
"Yes!" Ning Xiao can't deny this. "But I'm sure he's not a gay!"
"Alas, Ning Xiao, go read the books about homosexuality!" Qin Ji's mother is still insisting on her opinion. "I heard you have four younger brothers. You should pay more attention to these aspects, right? ”
Ning Xiao began to waver when he said this. She swept the space with her senses. By this time, the system had already run to the library to look for books about homosexuality. Only then did she relax.
"Auntie, Qin Shao will join hands with a female supernatural for a lifetime." Ning Xiao remembered the apocalyptic text that had been forgotten for a long time. She remembered that Qin Ji was the male protagonist in the apocalyptic text. That's why she dared to make such bold promises. "I promise you by my own powers."
"Okay," Qin Ji's mother looked at the still flying snowflakes again, and finally nodded in agreement. "I believe you: Ah Ji will find a female supernatural who will not live a miserable life because of narcissism!"
