Chapter Seventy-Six: Storytelling
At nine o'clock in the evening, the moon is on the willow tops.
The ringtone of the video call broke the silence of the room, and there was no need to think that the caller must be Jiang Baizhi. You can disturb him anytime and anywhere, this is the privilege he gave Jiang Baizhi.
Put down the jurisprudence in his hand, that's right, Su Ye has been quite interested in this piece recently, there are two basic principles of law, retribution and fairness. Retributivism is based on the naΓ―ve idea of a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, which can be traced back to the Code of Hammurabi. Fairness, on the other hand, is meant to play a positive role, and the punishment of sinners is improved by education. In fact, these two principles have some philosophical thinking in them, which is worth pondering.
But if he was interested, Su Ye still chose to let it go, in his codex, Jiang Baizhi had a high priority.
"Can't sleep?"
"That's right, I'm wondering why you suddenly have such a good relationship with my parents, obviously you are so introverted."
Jiang Baizhi in the picture is holding her chin, and she seems to be really confused by this.
"Don't you know that sincerity is the only nirvana?" Su Ye smiled, "Maybe my uncle and aunt think I'm very sincere." β
"Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself." Jiang Baizhi muttered.
"Don't you have to film tomorrow, and you have to go to the concert in the evening after the end, are you sure you don't have an early rest?"
Jiang Baizhi's eyes rolled, she actually wanted to talk to Su Ye, but as soon as Su Ye said this, she seemed to have an excuse.
"I just thought of watching the concert tomorrow, and Wan Ning wanted to confess to Lao Zhang, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all."
"It's really worth being happy, and Wanning can be regarded as getting what she wants this time."
Su Ye was full of blessings to Zhao Wanning, but looking at the Han Han rolling around on the bed in the picture, he had a headache, and he didn't know when he would be able to get what he wanted.
"Su Ye, but I'm afraid that Wan Ning's confession will fail, I'm not cursing her, of course I hope she can succeed. It's just that I'm afraid that in case, I'm worried that I won't be able to stand the blow with anticipation. β
"The two of them have a concubine intentions, we all see it in our eyes, it should be successful, don't worry, you might as well think about yourself when you have this time, a thirty-year-old single dog."
"Ahh Jiang Baizhi's eyes widened, her face was incredible, Su Ye, who had always been gentle and considerate, actually said such heart-piercing words! "Su Ye, you stinged me, I don't care, you have to compensate me."
Su Ye was a little helpless, how did he not know that Jiang Baizhi was acting finely, but he was willing to cooperate with her performance. "Then may I ask the beautiful Ms. Jiang, how do you want me to compensate you?"
"Tell me a bedtime story, I'm going to go to bed early, recharge my taxes, and tomorrow night I confess, I'm going to cheer happily!"
After speaking, Jiang Baizhi in the picture got into the quilt nest in a hurry, pulled up the quilt, looked at Su Ye expectantly, and winked cutely by the way.
"Ms. Jiang, are you a child, and you still want to listen to bedtime stories?"
"Yes, yes, how do you know I'm a kid from Springfield Flower Kindergarten?"
Su Ye was defeated by Jiang Baizhi's cuteness, and it was difficult for him to refuse Jiang Baizhi's request, let alone Jiang Baizhi under the cute BUFF.
"Okay, then I'll tell you a story. Earlier I recommended a book to you called "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a story about waiting. Have you ever heard the song Fireworks Are Easy to Cold? β
Jiang Baizhi, who only showed one head, nodded obediently.
"In fact, this song is also about waiting, the story behind this song comes from the Northern Wei Dynasty "Luoyang Jialan", Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was a war-torn era, the war was not stopped, the people were displaced, and the joys and sorrows of the little people were wrapped up in the whole era, it was in this situation that a general guarding Luoyang City happened to see a graceful woman on the city gate, and it was love at first sight since then......"
Su Ye's voice was warm and magnetic, and Jiang Baizhi was easily brought to the story, as if she really saw the glorious Luoyang City, the general and the girl.
"The general's love is very warm, the girl's feelings are always poetry, the two soon fell in love, private for life, at this time, the general received an order, he was called to the front to fight. Even if he was desperate, he had to leave, and when he left, he made an agreement with the maiden that when he returned triumphantly, it would be the day he would marry the maiden......"
"The vows of the young man are always very sincere, and from then on the maiden will come to the city gate every day and wait for a certain time, one day, two days, a month, two months, a year, two years...... And at this time, the general was fighting the front line, because he knew that there was someone in the distance waiting for him to come home, he didn't dare to die, he couldn't die, and he still owed a promise to a person......"
And so it was, year after year, he was waiting, and she was waiting. The war finally subsided, and the general could return, and when he returned to Luoyang City, he would ask around for news of the girl. Finally in people's mouths, he knew where the girl went, the girl waited year after year, and finally to no avail, chose to go to Jialan Temple to cut her hair as a nun, the green lantern ancient Buddha as a companion, the rest of her life is very long, but she can no longer fit anyone in her heart, only to be accompanied by the Buddha. In the end, the girl did not wait for the general, and died in the Buddhist temple the year before, and the general listened to the bell of the Jialan temple gloomily, and also cut his hair and became a monk......"
Jiang Baizhi sighed leisurely, "They are unfortunate and lucky. Unfortunately, born in that war-torn era, people are like duckweed and cannot control themselves. But fortunately, they met the person they liked, although it was only a momentary joy, but it was enough to comfort a lifetime. Although they didn't wait for each other, they were all concerned about each other. β
"Wan Ning is luckier than the girl in the story, although she has also waited for more than ten years, but she finally waited, and the regrets of her youth will be filled by the fierce joy in the second half of her life."
"yes, Evening Lemon is so lucky."
For a moment, the air fell into silence, and both of them were a little distracted, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a while, Su Ye spoke, "Bai Zhi, you should rest early and see you tomorrow." β
"Okay."
Just when Jiang Baizhi was about to hang up the video, she couldn't help asking, "Su Ye, if it were you, would you be willing to wait for someone for more than ten years?" β
"Why do you ask?" Su Ye was a little nervous, he thought he was exposed.
"I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, so I wanted to ask you for the answer."
Su Ye's heart was relieved, and then he smiled, "I'm waiting." β
"Seems to be the expected answer, I'm confident in love again, good night!"
"Good night."
Su Ye smiled at the corner of his mouth, I'm waiting is actually a pun, because he has a lot of experience in this question, I'm waiting not only means that he will always wait, but also because the homonym of I'm waiting is love and admiration. Just as the reason why he is willing to wait for Jiang Baizhi is because his love for her has never stopped......
