(Thanks to the reward of "110000101001", the number of chapters in the previous chapter was wrong, it should be eighty-nine chapters, if you are interested in the "Illuminati", I recommend you to take a look at Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons", the original focus of this book is also to tell about the collision of real-world religion and science, but because of the prevailing trend of online reporting, religion is a very sensitive factor, in order to avoid harmony, the religious plot can only be greatly weakened, and religion is placed on the background board, and the green shirt is also very helpless)

[BGM - "Your Luv" Galaxy Knight Boss Li]

Cheng Mo entered the house and adjusted two cups of gin and tonic, and when she returned to the balcony, Bai Xiuxiu resumed her lazy sitting posture again, lying on the sofa, like a cat lying on the windowsill basking in the sun on an autumn afternoon, half-closed eyes, blowing a cool river breeze, the invisible wind swept a few strands of hair on her forehead, the beautiful melon seed face looked as natural as a knife and an axe, and the blue dragonfly buckle went down along the undulating body line, until the hem of the dark blue cheongsam hung down on the knee side and stopped abruptly.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances at the white and round calves and the slender feet painted with red Kodan, and silently put the gin and tonic in front of Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu naturally noticed Cheng Mo's somewhat wandering gaze, got up and ripped off the thin blanket placed on the armrest of the sofa, covered her body, hid her delicate feet, and said lightly: "Cheng Mo, you are playing with fire, some things are enough to do once, and some words can be said once, don't consume my good feelings for you." ”

Cheng Mo heard that Bai Xiuxiu was not joking, compared to the last time he kicked him directly in Chang'an, it was obvious that Bai Xiuxiu was really angry this time, Cheng Mo was not panicked, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for a woman to be angry, assuming that she has no idea of being angry with you, but it is worse.

Cheng Mo took his cup, sat on the small sofa with a single seat as if nothing happened, looked at the flowers blooming around the balcony, and said: "Sister Bai, people often say that women are just like flowers, no matter how beautiful they are, they all need to be appreciated...... I don't think there's anything wrong with me appreciating you!"

Bai Xiuxiu sneered: "I don't need your appreciation, what you should show is respect for me." ”

Cheng Mo nodded, "I know that in your eyes, I am just a little virgin who has not graduated from high school, and a little kid who is far away from becoming the chosen one..... It's already you....."

"Even if you're self-aware. Bai Xiuxiu said lightly.

Cheng Mo smiled, took a big sip of gin and tonic, and said in an indifferent tone: "As you said, maybe I haven't reached the level of seeing through people's hearts, but I still know very well how I should behave in order to please people, but most of the time, I don't want to." ”

"Cheng Mo, don't tell me that I am a person who minds lying, even if you want to be an honest person, you should know that in our current world, there is its own operating logic, and your 'honesty' is essentially a kind of presumptuous and heartless eyes, and it is also a kind of arrogant ....."

"I know, I understand, the reason why I am dishonest is because many people do not deserve to be treated with an honest attitude, but in front of you, I want to maintain a pure, to tell the truth, I can be hypocritical like a simple child in front of you, and then turn my head and vent my emotions against you in college....."

Bai Xiuxiu straightened up, sat cross-legged, and interrupted Cheng Mo with a cold voice, "Are you threatening me?"

Cheng Mo was silent for a moment, and suddenly the bull head said to the horse's mouth: "Schopenhauer said, 'Women always like flowers, but they don't know that they are the raw organs of plants'......"

"Why, you want to laugh at women's ignorance, and they are only worthy of being a breeding tool like a flower?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "Although flowers are indeed the reproductive organs of plants, the history of humans and flowers can be traced back to one summer 11,700 years ago, when a group of Neanderthals living in the Fertile Crescent died unfortunately. Although death may not have been an accident in ancient times, this time, the living Neanderthals decided to bury them in a more solemn way: they built a tomb and gathered many beautiful and fragrant wildflowers, including mint, mallow, cornflower, grape hyacinth, etc., and spread these flowers around the body of the deceased......"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect Cheng Mo's thinking to be so wild, she actually talked about it 11,700 years ago, and talked about the history of flowers in a leisurely tone, Bai Xiuxiu didn't know whether to listen to it for a while, and reason told her that she shouldn't let Cheng Mo control the rhythm and talk eloquently.

But there was an inexplicable allure in Cheng Mo's voice and what he said, which made her want to listen to it.

"Mankind's preference for flowers is persistent, and in various ancient records of civilization, flowers have never been absent (vacant) - you have been to the land of ancient Babylonian ruins, you must know that one of the seven wonders of the world, the Hanging Gardens of ancient Babylon, was a gift from Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian kingdom to the princess Amaedis, you have been to the place of the remains of the pyramids, you must have known that the murals of ancient Egypt depict the silhouette of a figure holding flowers again and again, I don't know if you have seen the myths and epics of ancient Greece? There are always poets and warriors who are crowned by flowers, or girls who go astray because they are tempted by flowers, yes, I mean Europa who was seduced by Zeus; and in our China, there are countless poems about flowers and beauties, and the earliest "Book of Songs" left the sentence of 'Weishi and women, Yiqi scorned each other, and gave them a spoonful of medicine', all of which show the fate of flowers and human beings. ”

Cheng Mo's voice was slow and leisurely, perfectly in harmony with the music playing in the gramophone, and the hallucinogenic notes floated out of the record player, this simple, monotonous accompaniment belonged to the eighties, when the rhythm of music was very slow, probably because the pace of life was also very slow, unlike now, time is flying, and the rhythm of music is getting faster and faster.

Cheng Mo's light voice is embedded in it, making this music a perfect BGM, Bai Xiuxiu looked at Cheng Mo's calm expression, his eyes were looking at her intently, as if he was saying something irrelevant, Bai Xiuxiu couldn't guess what Cheng Mo wanted to say, this feeling of losing control made her a little uncomfortable, she couldn't help but said expressionlessly in the interval when Cheng Mo stopped narrating: "Flowers are not precious objects, women also like gold, diamonds, Agate, everything beautiful and shiny can be a gift, and most women probably prefer those precious jewels to flowers......"

"Now it seems that flowers are not so precious, but this is a misunderstanding, you must know that in ancient times, flowers were often enjoyed by the nobility and the ruling class, and a few pieces of jewelry were far less precious than having a garden full of flowers, and even now it is not so? ......”

Although Bai Xiuxiu felt that Cheng Mo was saying that she was fleeting and needed to find a messenger to protect flowers, her intuition told her that Cheng Mo had gone around in such a big circle, and she would not be so superficial, so she suppressed the idea of wanting to satirize Cheng Mo, just looked at Cheng Mo with the corners of her mouth slightly curled, looked at Cheng Mo with a contemptuous look, and clearly expressed: I think you can say what "flower" means.......

Cheng Mo was unmoved, and continued calmly: "It seems that the flowers in the flower shop are just to satisfy people's visual consumption, but now more and more scientific studies have pointed out that the joy brought by these beautiful plant genitals is real. Dr. Nancy Etcoff of Harvard Medical School conducted a series of experiments and concluded that placing flowers in the living room has a significant and visible positive impact on the human mental state, and the act of receiving flowers can also inspire a sense of inner pleasure and happiness. The MD also wrote a well-known and interesting book called "The Pretty Survive." ”

Not only Nancy Itkauf, but also Jeannette Haviland-Jones, a psychology professor at Rutgers University, and her wife, biologist Terry McGuire, came to the same conclusion. Professor Jones recorded and expertly analysed people's facial expressions when they received gifts, and the result was a surprise to Jeannette herself, with almost all of those who received flowers showing the signature 'Ducheny smile' – a smile of joy that was truly heartfelt and joyful, while others who received it were not necessarily so happy...... Obviously, it's not just that people have been trained to prefer flowers by social conventions..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Mo suddenly stood up, walked aside under Bai Xiuxiu's puzzled gaze, selected a Bai Yueji among several flower beds, picked a perfect flower Bai Yueji, slowly walked in front of Bai Xiuxiu, and said softly: "The modern custom of sending flowers was born in Europe in the nineteenth century, when it was rude to express feelings publicly, so expressing feelings was born in the Victorian era." Flower language', poets will pick a flower, with a beautiful container, and stuff their own poems into it, vaguely expressing their love for the person they like....." (the flower language of the moon season is happiness, glory and long-term beauty, and the flower language of the white moon season also has the meaning of purity)

"I used to think that the act of sending flowers was meaningless, but now I feel that whether it is the polishing of time, or the scientific and rigorous analysis, sending flowers is indeed one of the most important links in the human social link, even if the time passes, the vicissitudes of life, this behavior will not be replaced, because it always represents the nature of human beings - the yearning for beauty, the sustenance of feelings, the love of cherished things, the nostalgia for fleeting time, and the sympathy for a group of creatures who have coexisted with us for a long time..."

"The relationship between flowers and humans inspires me that maybe we and the animals and plants around us are really already in some form of co-evolution. It has taken us 10,000 years to recognize the existence of flowers, to liking them, cherishing them, and creating a better living environment for them, so they have given us something in return: for example, to make us happy.......

Cheng Mo inserted the white moon season above Bai Xiuxiu's pink carved ears, "Sister Xiuxiu, I like you to make me feel happy for no reason, so I want you to know.... That's all....."

At this moment, the breathing of both of them was a little heavier, Cheng Mo felt Bai Xiuxiu's curvy body getting closer to him, Bai Xiuxiu's forehead was even close to his chest, and he could even feel Bai Xiuxiu's body trembling through the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Cheng Mo's heart was beating faster and faster, and the voice of "hugging her" in his head was getting louder and louder, like an unscrupulous oncoming tsunami, and Cheng Mo's shoulders and hands were also trembling, as if only by hugging the perfect body in front of him could it be stopped.

At this moment, several bouquets of ceremonial flowers rose from the sky at the head of Orange Island, and a sharp whistle was like a long moan, and then one after another bright and huge flowers exploded in the dark blue sky, decorating the monotonous and silent night sky of Star City......

Cheng Mo didn't turn his head to look at the flowers, but he heard Bai Xiuxiu chuckling, and then chanted in a playful tone: "Happy birthday, Cheng Mo! These flowers are a gift from Xie Minyun!"

Cheng Mo's heart also exploded with the sound of the fireworks exploding, but his brain was clearer, if he retreated now, then his relationship with Bai Xiuxiu would end here, and all the efforts he had made before would be in vain, Cheng Mo clearly knew how to choose, love was still a luxury for him.

He reached out and hooked Bai Xiuxiu's chin, gently lifted her pretty face, and lowered his head to meet Bai Xiuxiu's cloudy eyes.

"Does Bai Xiuxiu dare to make a bet with me?"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't take her chin away from Cheng Mo's hand, her hand rested on her knee, she didn't move, and she didn't seem to have any intention of pushing Cheng Mo away, just half-squinted her eyes and said flatly: "Say!"

Cheng Mo leaned over Bai Xiuxiu's chin and whispered in her ear: "If I can help you destroy the Black Death, you will let me..."

Originally, Cheng Mo could say this sentence in countless euphemisms or literary terms, but when he said the vulgar word "" again, Cheng Mo felt an inexplicable pleasure erupt in his heart, which instantly spread all over his body like an electric current, inspiring a throbbing that made his soul tremble......

The fireworks in the night sky are still lighting up the chaotic late autumn curtain one after another, one by one more colorful than the stars, setting off Bai Xiuxiu's side face extremely brightly, she closed her eyes, and replied softly: "Okay!"

"If you really can, I'll wait for you. ”

"Wait for you. ”
