Act 42: The World to Caesar, the Girl to the Boy (2)
"What's going on? Here again?" Xia Mi was a little angry, puffing out her face to show her little tiger teeth.
"Yes, it's very immoral......," Chu Zihang said, but with a thoughtful expression.
"Really, it's a shame that I just praised Senior Brother Lu, and now I announce that he can't take off his dead eunuch's hat in his life!"
"I don't know who I learned from, only half of it was sent and there was no follow-up, and the previous story was also not followed-up, and then the next one was opened."
Xia Mi thought in pieces, brushing the message below.
"Someday with a knife in hand! Kill all the dogs in the world!"
"Lu Mingfei, is your pen name Jiangnan? I only wrote half of everything, and then I became a eunuch."
"! Upstairs, Jiangnan friends, come and shake hands!"
"Senior brother, senior brother! Come and join me in scolding Senior Brother Lu, this dead eunuch!" Natsumi tugged at the corners of his clothes.
"Hmm......" Chu Zihang frowned and didn't respond to the topic, "Xia Mi, can you guess the follow-up of the story?"
"I'm not a prophet, how do I know?" Xia Mi looked away from the screen, "I just think this story is a little sad."
"You see, senior brother in the article, he has got everything he wants, and he will make money every day when he becomes famous, but does he really feel happy?"
"Happiness? After all, he was so successful......" Chu Zihang thought for a while and gave an answer.
"No, I don't think he's happy." Xia Mi said.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths, and even made a special excuse to fly on a business trip that didn't have to be in person, just to meet the girl he had a crush on for the first time."
"But I don't really understand why he wasn't a little bolder in the first place, maybe he still had a little chance?"
"Maybe, but what can he do?" Chu Zihang whispered, "At that time, he had the responsibility he carried."
I think that maybe the girl's boyfriend is too good and intimidating is just one of the factors, and it is more because of his inner inferiority, he feels that he has no capital to fight for this love." Natsumi pinched her chin in thought.
"Low self-esteem?" Chu Zihang said seriously, "What you said also makes sense."
"Oh, it's all empty talk that we're talking about here, and we still have to see the follow-up."
"Why don't we go to Senior Brother Lu together and ask about the follow-up?" She jumped out of her chair and was about to rush out of the restaurant.
"No need." Chu Zihang said, "Actually, I don't really want to see the follow-up of the story, I'm afraid the ending is not what I imagined."
"Otherwise, it would be a pity."
"Oh......" Natsumi's arrogance instantly subsided, and she swayed back and forth across the chair.
The atmosphere was a little silent again, Chu Zihang silently picked up the rice in his mouth, and Xia Mi rested his chin on the back of the chair and didn't know what he was thinking.
……
……
"Senior sister, do you think Senior Brother will come to ask me?" Lu Mingfei moved his sedentary body, "Don't ask me for emotional problems with a bunch of irrelevant people at that time, but there are no results I want to see."
"That's more than worth the loss, it's a waste of time and energy, not to mention, I can't achieve my goal."
"I can't guarantee it either." Nono shrugged, "I just think this method must be more effective than going straight to him."
"After all, Chu Zihang, you also know, if you are stubborn on the surface, you want to save face, you have to let him take the initiative to come to you to ask."
"I just hope that all the side knocks I did for him before will work." Lu Mingfei sighed.
"What did you tell him?" Nono asked casually.
"It's nothing, just talking about a movie, and then talking about my past, and carrying some private goods in it, probably to let my brother let go of the past and focus on the present......
"Then I think there's a good chance he'll come to you." Nono nodded, "You've given him so many psychological hints, if he doesn't come, it's really a bit hopeless."
"I hope so......" Lu Mingfei said
, suddenly the conversation changed, "By the way, senior sister, can I order food in the library?" I'm a little hungry."
"I can't think of it...... Forget it, if you can't, you have to be able to do it, it's a big deal to deduct some credits." Nono smiled ambiguously, "What? Want to eat with me?"
"It's not just about eating together." Lu Mingfei's expression was serious, "I still want to have a candlelight dinner with my senior sister."
"I don't have time to have any romantic feelings with you, I'm going to study on my own in the library at night, I failed Mance's class last semester, and if I don't hurry up and take the exam, he won't let me have a good time." Nono pouted.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei was a little disappointed.
"Hey, junior brother." Nono looked at him with his chin in his hand, "Next time I have a candlelight dinner with you, this time I owe you."
"Long live Senior Sister!"
……
……
At night, Lu Mingfei stayed alone in the dormitory, and Fingal didn't know where to fool around.
Sure enough, many young men who were trapped in love came to him this afternoon, and it took Lu Mingfei a lot of effort to send the young men with a budding heart away.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Lu Mingfei went over to open the door.
Looking at each other, outside the door was a pair of ice-blue children's holes, without any expression, Lu Mingfei gasped.
"Boss? You... You... Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Caesar asked rhetorically, "Don't forget that I also hung up three subjects last semester, and I was half a pound and eight taels with you."
"Aren't you usually too lazy to take the retake......
"I was upset about staying at home, so I came to the academy, and of course, I definitely won't make up for the exam."
"Ah, this ......" Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "What's the matter with me, don't you have any emotional problems, boss?"
"What emotional problem?" Caesar was puzzled.
"That's it...... I recently wrote a little emotional story on the Night's Watch forum, and said that anyone with emotional problems can come to me for advice."
"I did see that." Caesar said, "But I didn't come to you to ask questions about the feelings between men and women, but privately."
"What ......?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
"Why don't you let me in first?" Caesar motioned for him to be standing outside the door.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Lu Ming dodged his position unconsciously.
"Speaking of which," Caesar looked around his bedchamber, "I lost to you the first time I was defeated on a woman's battlefield."
"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Chen Motong." Caesar said in a surging voice, the ice blue Tong Kong stared at Lu Mingfei, "You should also know that I once chased Chen Motong, but she refused."
"Yes, you know," Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, "Boss, you shouldn't be looking for me to settle accounts......
"How is that possible?" Caesar smiled, "You think I'm such a small-bellied person?"
"It's not."
"What's more, I didn't care much about Chen Motong, just because I thought that I was the best male student in Kassel at that time, and I should also find the best female student as my girlfriend."
"And Chen Motong just met this condition, but she refused."
"My dad used to say that the men of the Gattuso family should not be defeated on the battlefield of women, and he proved it with his actions." Caesar had a look of disdain on his face.
"But I lost to you, and it's hard for me to imagine that a girl like Chen Motong would fall in love with someone, but you did, so you're quite worthy of my admiration."
"Uh-huh." Lu Mingfei nodded, "Boss, let's get into the topic."
"Okay, then I won't talk nonsense." Caesar said, "I have come to you this time to talk about the problems between me and my family."
"What's the matter?" Lu Mingfei pretended to be puzzled, "Boss, there are still problems between you and your family? Shouldn't you be in harmony with your family? What's more, your family is so rich."
"A family kiss." Caesar sneered, "It doesn't matter if you have money or not, they forced me to death
Mother, and this debt, sooner or later, I will have to settle it with them."
"Understood." Lu Mingfei nodded, "There are always so many bloody plots in the family."
"yes, I think it's bloody, too." Caesar whispered, "My father, such a merry stallion, took a lowly woman as his wife, and finally caused her to die a humiliating death in Gattuso's house, and he watched with cold eyes."
"So that's it, you hate your family, don't you?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Almost." Caesar shrugged, "Sometimes I think I'd rather not be born in Gattuso's house, so I wouldn't have been through so much bullshit."
"Boss, what do you think after reading my story?" Lu Mingfei did not answer Caesar's question, but chatted like a chat.
"I haven't finished it," said Caesar, "don't you have a follow-up?"
"Besides, I can't understand the mood of this kind of man, because it's the girls who come to me on their own initiative, and I don't have time to go to them."
"Explode it for me." Lu Mingfei whispered.
"Cash? What do you mean?"
"Nothing, nothing." Lu Mingfei hurriedly waved his hand, "Then I'll tell you the follow-up to the story."
"That brother went to the United States and met the girl in a fancy restaurant, probably the kind of place where soothing music was played, the marble floor was shiny, and the dessert cart was slowly coming and going between the tables."
"Brother said I've never waited so nervously for a guest, I always feel like I didn't choose the right shirt color, so fucking I also think there's something wrong with my glasses frames, and my glasses are slanted on my face."
"That's when the author says, 'Okay, I know the end of the story, and then the girl comes, and she simply finishes the meal with you, she's a little old but cheerful, and you find that the topic of conversation is completely different from what you expected, and then you go your separate ways, right?"
"Senior brother said no, she's not as old as you say! Well, the rest is pretty much the same as you said, she brought her best friend with her when she came that day, and said that the two of them just went shopping for clothes, so they came together."
"We recalled everyone we knew and then we dispersed."
"The author asks: What would you like the story to end like?"
"Senior brother said: I really hope that she can listen to me quietly in a place where there is music, I liked her very much back then."
"Gone?" Caesar frowned.
"Hmm," Lu Mingfei nodded, "It's gone."
"It's a bit of a sense of unfinished."
"yes, it's really unsatisfying."
"It's like a man's nostalgia for the past after he has achieved fame, but he finds that he has come to this position, and no matter how much he sees his first love in his heart, he can't change the past."
"So that's all we can do, just chat, and then separate."
"I didn't quite understand the connection between the meaning of the story and the question I wanted to ask." Caesar said.
"Boss, do you know to whom Caesar's inheritance is divided?" Lu Mingfei asked suddenly.
"I'm not dead yet."
"I didn't mean you, boss." Lu Mingfei slapped his forehead, "I mean the Julius Caesar in history, Gaius Julius Caesar."
"Then I know for sure that as a member of the Gattuso family, I know every part of the history of Rome." Caesar raised his head with some pride, "He divided his property among his sister's three grandsons by will, of which Octavian had three-quarters for himself, and the other two children shared a quarter."
"He had several women, including Cleopatra, with whom he gave birth to what would become the Egyptian pharaoh Ptolemy XV."
"But that's just his legacy, not the whole of his life, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "The only one who can share the glory with him is his family, and it can't even be counted as his own family."
"What do you mean?" Caesar asked, somewhat confused.
"Boss, you can imagine Caesana
Kind of man, right, he jumped on his horse and said I was going to conquer Gaul and he would set off." Lu Mingfei became excited, "Even if he is extremely worried about something in his heart, his heart is still stoic and excellent."
"Only such a man could conquer Gaul and then take control of Rome, and the awesome spirit continues to this day."
"You're right." Caesar nodded, "But I still want to ask if it has anything to do with my family's problems."
"Let's put yourself in that shoes, if you're that brother, but the thing you like isn't that girl, it's something else."
Lu Mingfei stared into Caesar's eyes, "Are you willing to trade your position in the Gattuso family for that thing?"
"If I really like it." Caesar pondered, "I think I'm willing to exchange."
"You're going to be extreme, boss." Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, "The crown prince of the Gattuso family, how many people dream of a position."
"But I hate it."
"Maybe you can do it another way?" Lu Ming is not a good one, "For example, accept it, and then change it through your own power."
Caesar did not speak.
"I know that you hate the family system, but instead of fighting against the family, it is better to endure the humiliation first, like Julius Caesar, who stoically jumped on his war horse and conquered his Gaul."
"Slaying the dragon is your Gaul, boss." Lu Mingfei said word by word, "First conquer the family on your battlefield, and then conquer the world."
