"Let's talk. 35xs”

The man squatted on the side of the road without any image and beckoned to Ling Shucheng.

The teacher who taught the afternoon class dragged out the class as always. Ling Shucheng glanced at the time, he still had half an hour to settle dinner and run to another classroom.

"I put down all the work I was doing and came here, can I give a little face, don't be so unwilling." Men, as always, lack the majesty of their fathers.

Ling Shucheng sighed softly and replied, "Let's talk as we go." ”

"Wait, Daddy is going to buy you some ice cream."

"I don't eat those things."

"Cooperate with me, I'm a middle-aged and elderly person, and I'm not too embarrassed to go to the store to buy alone."

Pointless conversations.

The warm sunlight characteristic of the evening shines through the barrier-like glass, elongating the two shadows that are always at a delicate distance. The man held two flavors of cones in his left and right hands, and even threw the briefcase to his son.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's the matter? Ling Shucheng hugged the bag a little helplessly.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing to do?" The man's answer was a little shameless.

Ling Shucheng glanced at him faintly.

"Okay, well, as you know, I'm really the kind of person who does things with a lot of purpose." The man took a sip on the scoop of ice cream, "Although I'm really not in a hurry at all...... But there are some people who are always whispering in my ear. I've been nervous lately. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, you let those people down." The man's tone suddenly became serious, "Passive resistance is useless, never overestimate the moral bottom line of those people." If it weren't for your father, my wings would be too hard now, and people who look at your oily face would have been active again - you are not irreplaceable to them, understand? ”

"Is this a piece of advice, or is it a warning?" Ling Shucheng still didn't have any expression on his face.

"Knowing the son is more than the father." The man sighed inexplicably, and then began to say incomprehensibly, "Speaking of which, have you seen it?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the? Ling Shucheng's eyes flickered, and his tone was a little lacking in confidence.

"Didn't you take advantage of class to pass by your mother's office door a few times?"

Ling Shucheng was silent.

"I don't think I saw it." The man confidently concluded, "I guess too." 35xs”

Ling Shucheng exhaled softly, and then continued to remain silent.

"Yes, it's much calmer." The man gave a perfunctory compliment, then asked, "Do you hate her?" ”

"What position do I have to hate her." Statement tone.

"That's how I like it. It's weird, she doesn't care about you at all. You really hurt the heart of my father, who is digging out his heart and lungs for you every day. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Ling Shucheng stood still.

"Didn't I just say that?" You are not irreplaceable'. The man also stopped and said leisurely, "Do you want to be an older brother lately?" ”

Ling Shucheng was stunned.

"Alright, I'm done with what I need to say." The man actually waved at him with a smile on his face, "Study hard." ”

After turning around, he heard Ling Shucheng's voice with a faint hint of anger.

"Is this something you can talk about in such a joking tone?"

"Or else?" The man asked rhetorically, "What do you think I should say?" Many things, whether right or wrong, are not your turn to cry bitterly, what's the point. ”

"If you know that it may not be right, do you want to let it go wrong?"

"Wrong? Do you think it's all wrong? The man turned around with a smile, "If your performance can be good enough, it might be worth it from the perspective of the majority of people who have benefited." If only all the misfortunes in the world could be resolved through the sacrifice of a few, that would be nice. ”

"Is this accusing me of 'ignorance'?" Ling Shucheng asked coldly.

"How could it be. After all, I've asked this kind of stupid question before...... Then I listened to an afternoon of preaching. The man raised his eyebrows, "Maybe everyone has such an innocent stage, it's good to grow up." ”

Ling Shucheng lowered his head and was silent. The man looked at him and felt a little regret in his heart.

This silent son is finally willing to take the initiative to talk to him, maybe he should seize the opportunity to work hard to cultivate a relationship, instead of pouring cold water on him.

"I'm not going to be like you."

"What?" It was rare for the man not to react immediately.

Ling Shucheng raised his head slowly, his dark eyes as clear as black water.

"I'll never be like you." The boy repeated word by word.

With the illusion of being suddenly hit for a moment, the man subconsciously took a step back, and then quickly picked up his usual smile and asked, "Is this sarcastic to me?" ”

"It's not. Flash." Ling Shucheng shook his head calmly, the inexplicable stubbornness in his eyes was 100% similar to his mother, whom he had never met, "It's a spur on myself." ”

Frustration and strange joy welled up in the man's heart at the same time. He stared at Ling Shucheng with a rare calm face for a while, and finally shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Then ...... Wishing you success? ”

The good news came sooner than he expected. It only took half a month, and Ling Shucheng's talent for controlling gravity began to improve by leaps and bounds, which directly led to the fact that several old acquaintances in the laboratory had recently spent a lot more on meals than before, and it was estimated that they had a happy appetite.

"Did you choose your mother's 'gravity'?" The man's smile was a little complicated, "Does this count as a slap in the face for all of us?" ”

-

"I'm an atheist." Answered calmly as always.

Lu Xiao looked at Ling Shucheng's appearance, couldn't help but laugh softly, and then slapped his palm a few times in solitude.

This guy is really very interesting. His naturally delicate eyebrows and eyes doomed him to never have a chance to describe him as "cold", and Lu Xiao couldn't help but recall the first time he stood quietly by the tree.

If you can describe this person too emotionally, the first word that comes to Lu Xiao's mind is "distant".

There seems to be a clear line between him and all ordinary people. But Lu Xiao still didn't understand what separated this line.

At this moment, under the long eyelashes that were soaked and sticky, the heavy tiredness in Ling Shucheng's eyes was almost impossible to hide, but he still sat upright, like a bow full of strings.

"I almost admire you. But is this an evasion of the problem? ”

"And what do you want to hear from me?" Ling Shucheng raised his head slightly and set his gaze on the top floor of the small building behind Lu Xiao.

The direction in which Min Shu is located. Accurate judgment.

"I think you're a person with a conscience, so I can't help but say a few more words."

"Conscience?" Ling Shucheng's tone was so flat that it was frustrating.

"Do you think that the 'miracle' that has been obtained by such disgraceful means is justified?" Lu Xiao's smile finally began to chill, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. On your ship, every seemingly beautiful day is treading on the filthy blood of countless others. For the sake of long-term stability, the lives of innocents are ruthlessly squandered by those in positions of high power in the name of 'the welfare of the many' - who gives them the power to measure whether the life of a newborn baby has the value of continuity! ”

"And then?" Ling Shucheng frowned slightly.

"And then?" Lu Xiao raised her voice suddenly, as if she was surprised by his indifference and detachment, "Please ask yourself, don't avoid talking about it." If the souls of those brothers and sisters who died for you were right in front of you, would you be able to embrace them without being ashamed of what you did? Well, I'll admit, maybe not all of our approach is entirely glamorous...... But will you take less life with your own hands than I do? Or can you shamelessly say, 'I can live up as a hero for the same killing, killing the rebels, and you will be remembered for thousands of years by these shady means'? Listen, we are resorting to improper means because we have no choice. And what about you? How does it feel for Mr. Ling, the 'Miracle Child', to sit on a high seat stacked on top of the bones of the weak and look down on us? ”

"You can speak more slowly." Seeing that this long sarcasm almost made the girl in front of her hoarse, Ling Shucheng finally spoke, "I'm really listening carefully." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Looks like I was wrong. Lu Xiao poured a few sips of tea one after another, but her voice was still a lot hoarse, "After knowing a lot about you, I thought there would be room for negotiation between us...... It seems that I was indeed naΓ―ve. Her tone was almost aggressive, "yes, you're ...... after all I grew up enjoying this kind of life! ”

Ling Shucheng remained expressionless, as if watching a clumsy performance by a clown who jumped off a beamβ€”much to her anger.

"Well, now I only have one question." Ling Shucheng put his hands flat on the table, as if he had no warning at all, "You will take the trouble to convey this incendiary remark to Min Shu...... Or someone else who doesn't want to work with you? ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Well, then, let me answer the question you have been asking me over and over again." Ling Shucheng stated unhurriedly, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if there are really ghosts in the world, and as you said, they are floating in front of me, scrutinizing my every move every moment...... I can say this without the slightest qualms. He paused deliberately, as if to make sure that the girl in front of him could hear clearly, "I haven't done anything that would make me feel ashamed in front of them." ”

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and her wide eyes were full of disbelief.

"I really can't guarantee that everything will be done right, but at least I try to do everything I can to get it right." Ling Shucheng's voice was unusually sonorous and powerful, "Even if I am forced to 'know my mistakes and make mistakes', I will make up for it in time to the greatest extent I can, instead of pretending to regret and feel sorry for myself afterwards." In other words, if there really is a god in this world who can fairly measure people's good and evil, and even carry out 'heavenly punishment', the person who will be punished will definitely not be me. I can say this confidently at any time with the attitude of your mouth 'up to the top'. ”

"Is this shameless?" Lu Xiao gasped and glared at him, her voice hoarse and unpleasant.

"I once had a girl who said that she was not born into this world because of her own hopes. Me too. Ling Shucheng looked at her without fear, "But I took on the responsibility that everyone imposed on me, and did everything I could within my ability." If I had a choice, I would be willing to be what you call 'watching coldly from the sky', instead of having to discipline myself with the harshest standards at all times. ”

"What arrogance, you-"

"So now, it's your turn to answer my question. Do you have the patience to discuss your philosophy with everyone who has a different concept from you? Ling Shucheng spoke at a rare speed, "No, you won't." You will tell me this because you are not sure of subduing me, and you can only take a roundabout approach. And in the face of those 'weakling' that you can firmly control, don't you also force your own will as their choice? Just as you watched what I did, I thought about your code of conduct over and over again. May I ask you, are the innocent students who died at your hands, and the turmoil in Pangu and Zhuan that was caused by your manipulation, part of what you call 'the improper means adopted because there is no better way'?" You also understand that this is not legitimate, but you have not the slightest remorse, and you still trample on the lives of others and continue to carry out the wrong methods...... Why can you still accuse me so confidently? ”

"What a powerful preaching, who said you don't have any eloquence?" Quan Lin behind him finally couldn't help but help.

"I'm tired, I did." Ling Shucheng actually responded, "So in the last sentence, if there are really ghosts in the world, the person who should be most worried about me is definitely me." ”

Thunder rolled. The lightning that pierced the sky illuminated Lu Xiao's almost hideous face.
