"Uh......" I was speechless, not knowing what to say.

She smiled slightly, "I'm embarrassed, I don't know what to say, right?" ”

"You just said that there have been people in the circle who want to murder your grandfather?" I digressed, "What's going on?" ”

"It's hard to say a word, it's offended people", she smiled calmly, "I don't care what my grandfather has done in the past, I am his granddaughter, his only relative, as long as I am here, no one is allowed to hurt him." ”

I lowered my head, "My grandfather was killed by someone, I understand this feeling." ”

"You know, so I don't need to say more", she glanced at me, "When grandpa was young, he traveled from south to north, and it was inevitable that there would be some enemies, such as the Japanese Seita Eiji who told you. In the eyes of others, he may not be all a good person, but in my heart, he is my patron saint from childhood to adulthood. Now that he is old, I will do my best to protect him, take care of him, and let him have a stable and happy old age. ”

"Well, after decades of wandering on the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that there will be festivals that cannot be solved", I nodded, "It is not easy for you to get to this point today." ”

"But I'm just a girl after all", her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Ever since Seita Eiji's attempt to murder my grandfather, I've become a frightened bird, and I'm always afraid that my grandfather will be hurt again." I hate myself for not being a boy, I hate myself for being a weak daughter, I work hard, I am exquisite, I have become a master of mathematics in the world. In your opinion, I am scheming, not content, willful, and inconsiderate of others, but here I just want a sense of security, a solid guarantee that will allow me to sleep soundly. ”

I was silent.

"My enemies are not ordinary people", she paused, "They either have a strong family background, or they have ruthless methods, or they have a network of connections, one thing they have in common, they are all very powerful feng shui masters." These people are rich, powerful and capable, they can hide in the shadows and kill people invisibly, or they can be honest and use various means to calculate our Li family. I can't help it, if I want to live, I have to rely on my own efforts, I have to become smarter than them, I have to be stronger than them! ”

"Don't you have a master?" I said lightly.

"Yes", she sighed softly, "I have a master, and it is thanks to the protection of the master that I am today, and my grandfather was not killed by the Japanese." But no matter how powerful Master is, it is impossible to protect me for the rest of my life. Besides, how long can I rely on Master to protect me? Ten years, or twenty years? Master is my idol, but he is too busy, he has big things that he can't deal with, he has a heart that can't be finished, and there are so many beautiful and sensible women. I can't squeeze into Master's world, I can't do that, and I can't do that. ”

"The seventh master is your master, you don't need to see him like this, right?" I looked at him.

"Then Eighth Master Qiu is still your master, why don't you take refuge in the Qiu family?" She looked at me coldly, "Your Lin family is a feng shui family, you have the glory of your ancestors, and you have the responsibility of revitalizing the court, what about me?" Our Li family has been a master of mathematics since the Song Dynasty, and among the ancestors of the past dynasties, there are no less than four or five Ziwei masters who are famous all over the world, can the glory of my ancestors be annihilated, and my Li family's court does not need to be revived? ”

These words were like knives, and I was speechless when asked.

Yes, my Lin family is a feng shui family, isn't it the Li family? Isn't Li Zixin also bearing what I bear? It's the same commitment, I'm a man, my shoulders are much stronger, and she's just a weak girl, she has to face far more than me.

For the sake of the future, I can worship under the Qiu family, and for the sake of the Lin family, I have to keep a certain distance from the Qiu family while borrowing the reputation of the Qiu family. My relationship with Qiu Baye is strikingly similar to her relationship with Seventh Master, so what qualifications do I have to look at her approach?

"So, you're not going to get married in this life, are you?" I asked softly.

She smiled faintly, "Married? A woman who knows how to do math, marriage is a luxury, and she knows that she can't do it, have I learned the yin and yang art in vain? I don't want any marriage, if God favors me and gives Li Zixin a son and lets him inherit the incense of my Li family, it will be enough. As for the rest, I don't want to think about it, and I don't have the right to think about it. I'm not like you, while enjoying the talent of mathematics given by God, and using this to live a life that others can't hope for, while crying and shouting, why doesn't God give you ordinary people's marriage and love. I'll spit out some truth after drinking today, Lin Zhuo, you are very good, that's it, it's too hypocritical. ”

"What do you mean?" I don't like to hear it anymore, "What is hypocrisy?" Who are you to say about me? ”

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Just like this time, the Liu family's affairs, the red envelopes given are far less than what you usually earn, which is one million." Do you know what the concept of a million is? You come from Beijing, where a person can reach the level of a manager, and the salary is only more than 10,000 yuan, plus various commissions and year-end bonuses, and the annual income is about two or three hundred thousand yuan. In other words, the money you earn in three or five days is equivalent to the salary of those people for three years, and the average office worker for ten or even twenty years. What do you rely on? It's magic, it's a gift from God! ”

"I don't need you to remind me of this, I understand", I softened my tone.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch," she paused, "If you enjoy the favor that ordinary people can't get, then you can't aspire to the life that ordinary people enjoy." What about you, take this, look at that, insist on having the best of both worlds, Lin Zhuo, you say it yourself, are you greedy? Are you hypocritical? ”

I nodded, "Yes, it's greedy, it's hypocritical, it's so hypocritical." ”

She looked at me, "Hey, why didn't you scold me when I said so much?" ”

"Why do you want to scold you?" I took a deep breath, "You're right, why should I scold you?" Do you avoid medical treatment? You can't have both, I understand that. ”

"Then you don't want to defend yourself?" She didn't understand, "You've been trying to do it, you're correcting yourself quickly, and you have every reason to refute me!" ”

I laughed, "You must have your intentions in criticizing me, I am inferior to you in terms of eloquence, and even worse than you in terms of intelligence, isn't it asking for trouble to debate with you?" In fact, you can see many things about me very clearly, and if you have to say this, it is just to make me speed up some steps. You're kind, I'll just listen to it, and besides, I'm too tired to argue anything. ”

Li Zixin was stunned, looked at me blankly, and was speechless for a long time.

I took a sip of tea, "This tea is quite fragrant, it doesn't smell the same as the one in my room, and it can't be given to you by your students, right?" ”

Li Zixin was a little lost, she was like a swordsman, I thought I had met an opponent, when she opened her posture and was ready to fight with me, I glanced at her and sat down to drink tea.

To put it nicely, there is a saying that you don't need to say it, you will understand.

To put it mildly, there is another sentence called, I am too lazy to say, you don't understand anyway.

She wanted to hear me explain, and then she continued to attack me, chasing and blocking me until she cornered me. She knows what I will say, everything is in her heart, she doesn't mean to embarrass me, because that's the instinct of a smart person.

Tonight, I can talk to her about anything, except that I don't want to get into the topic I just had. I'm here to listen to stories, and if there's too much to talk about, it's hard for both of us to think of something.

"Lin Zhuo, you're still guarding against me," she looked at me, "yes?" ”

"You misunderstood", I put down the teacup and paused, "I know you didn't mean that, those words just now were all for my good, and there is no selfishness." It's just that we all drank and were alone in the room, and the topic was too deep, and it was easy to become a reason for indulgence. Don't mind if I say it, if something happens, I'm a man with nothing to lose, but to you, that's not fair. ”

"It's good that you didn't misunderstand me", she said softly, "There are too many people in the world who misunderstand me, and I have long been numb, but I don't want you to look at me like that." You have to try to go with the flow, I have to try to be cautious, we have a long way to go, but I have enough time, and you? ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"Within two years, you will have a catastrophe, and now you are racing against time, and your eyebrows are burning, why are you still so calm?" She picked up the teacup, "This tea was given by a student from Fujian Province, and the girl's father is a tea merchant." You also have a lot of students in your life, and you can experience this happiness in the future, but first you have to make sure that you can survive. ”

"I don't have time to think about that, let's let Ye Huan survive first", I said, "She also said that I will have many students in the future, and it is hard to imagine what kind of scene it is." Hey Zixin, your family's crape myrtle secret technique must not be passed on, so what do you teach students to teach them? ”

"Truth and numerology", she put down her cup, "In fact, most of the people in the world are Ye Gong is a good dragon, and worshipping a master as a teacher is nothing more than to ask for peace of mind." The essence of the arithmetic, people who don't have talent can't learn it, for students, they don't need so much, understand a little numerology, and you can use this relationship to ask the teacher for advice in case of trouble, which is enough. ”

"It makes sense", I nodded, "Students seek peace of mind, apprentices seek a future, and only disciples who enter the room can seek the avenue." ”

"Don't digress, let's talk about your catastrophe", she said lightly, "I'll help you." ”

"Do you have a way?"

"I'm not completely sure, but I hope it should be quite big," she said, looking at me, "You need someone to die for you once before you can pass it." I was destined to die three times for a man, three days ago it was the first, and if the second time was because of you, then the third time, I would have a way to save you. ”

I looked at her in amazement, "Purple Heart, you're not kidding, are you?" ”

"Do you think I'm joking? Who would joke about such a topic? She looked at me calmly, "Actually, there is no need to hide anything, with the first time, this man is you." The first time I died for you, the second time, I died for your woman, and the third time ......"

"What's the third time?" I looked at her blankly.

She hesitated for a moment, smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, don't say it all thoroughly, it will be troublesome if there are variables in life." Okay, let's not talk about that, aren't you here to listen to the story, let's start now. ”
