Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Unsociable Mage
Chapter Eighty-Nine
Luo Qi walked out of the mahjong courtyard and walked on the stone road of the ancient town for a while, the warmth of early spring has just come here, the sluggishness of the rainy season is still far away, and now is a good time.
Luo Qi searched for the cat's tracks, and walked along the narrow stone road, and in the high-walled and narrow alleys of Jiangnan, he was a little confused. The old mansion had been uninhabited for a long time, the stone pavement was covered with moss, and the tall gray walls were mottled with countless traces of time.
The stone road leads to a river, and there is a small bridge over the river, on which the mahjong cats gather to bask in the sun. Luo Qi stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the opposite side of the river, still whitewashed walls and tiles, and the weeping willows at the bridgehead were clinging, adding new green. He was silently in a daze, as if he saw the woman holding an oil-paper umbrella in the past passing by him, and when he looked back, he didn't know who would sigh and say that I was not born.
He came to his senses, found a clean ground by the river and sat down, and an orange cat stretched slowly on the railing of the bridge, got up and approached him slowly, and jumped down from the little stone lion at the head of the bridge, and ran into his arms.
Du Zhengyi approached him from behind him at this time, slowly and leisurely, with a hint of arrogant elegance, as if he was also a cat.
Luo Qi didn't look back, and a little yellow-eyed black cat slammed onto Du Zhengyi's shoulder.
Du Zhengyi stopped abruptly and said threateningly, "Luo Qi! ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Roach's hand was still caressing the orange cat's back, "What's the use of telling me about cats?" ”
Du Zhengyi kicked him in the ass, Luo Qi didn't say anything, but the black cat screamed as if it was being teased, and its paws were inserted into the fabric on Du Zhengyi's shoulder.
"Roach!" Du Zhengyi kicked him again, "Don't think that if you use a cat's mouth to talk back and forth, I won't know that you called it." ”
"What are you doing with me?" Rocky still didn't look back, he sat cross-legged by the river, coaxing the cat on his lap, looking at the clouds reflected in the river. "Do you think I'm going to be mentally ill?"
Du Zhengyi didn't answer, he raised his head and looked at another small bridge in the distance, he had never counted how many small bridges there were here.
Compared with Du Zhengyi, there will be no chance of winning. Not because Du Zhengyi is patient, but because he doesn't like you, these things are small things that can be listened to or not listened to in his eyes. Luo Qi was silent for a while and realized that he would either seize the opportunity to talk to Du Zhengyi as a stone lion at the head of the bridge, or he would not have a chance to talk to anyone. "I don't understand why my parents did this to me. And what right do they have to do that? A sentence for my own good, it's like a joke. ”
Du Zhengyi really didn't make a sound.
Roach was a little frustrated, and said in a low voice, "I'm a little uncomfortable. Guan Xinyue's grandfather is dead, and he still wants to see her after death. My parents are still alive and I am homeless outside, I contacted my mom last night and I begged her, but she was just angry. Guan Xinyue's grandfather obviously didn't approve of her tossing like this, how easy it was for him to interfere with a human girl's thinking, he only needed some psychological hints. However, he did not try to control Guan Xinyue's actions at all, but only silently predetermined a remedy for the consequences of her actions. Isn't that a minimum of respect for what people are? My parents have always told me about the sin of the Mind Master violating the consciousness of others, but it turns out that they have been violating my consciousness."
Rocky choked up, and said in a muffled voice, "They don't care about what happened to me at all, and you don't care about me yet." Why is that? What am I doing wrong? ”
"I don't know." Du Zhengyi suddenly spoke, startling him.
He held back the embarrassing choking, and hoped that Du Zhengyi could say more. He was just so lonely that he felt like he would never figure out why his parents had abandoned him.
"I don't know." Du Zhengyi said, "My parents died when I was eight years old. ”
Roach was stunned for a moment, but this time the choked and tears were completely endured. He turned his head to look at Du Zhengyi with his own eyes, not the eyes of a cat.
Du Zhengyi's face was strangely blank, as if he had turned off all his emotions. "Parent-child relationships have always been a mystery to me."
Roach stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.
"But being miserable is not my style." Du Zheng looked at Roach, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Roach knew he was joking, and suddenly Fang Cai's depression was swept away, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Du Zheng looked at him for a while, then turned to the river again. "I wanted to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
"Maybe I want to be an animal behaviorist in human society." "I'm probably going to be able to do a good job and finally get a chance to publish my paper." ”
"Good." Du Zhengyi said.
"Are you here to say goodbye to me?" Luo Qi said in surprise, suddenly a little panicked, "I'm still a fugitive from Qionglin, you still have a lot of trouble, right?" ”
"Hmm." Du Zhengyi generously admitted, leaning on the stone at the head of the bridge, "But I have already filed a formal written complaint." If it's fast, there will be a formal complaint from the office every three or two days. I copied Teacher Liu Li, and she will come forward when the time comes, and I am too lazy to hide from those colleagues who are looking for me. ”
"And I," Roach swallowed, "can't I do you a favor?" ”
"You can stay here to help mahjong, Pei Shu said that it will take more than a month to get out of the customs, and the work of deciphering Guan Yushan's storage crystal can only temporarily make mahjong on top. Guan Xinyue will also stay here to help out with mahjong, I think the key may be some words in Guan Xinyue's life. I just told Mahjong that if you don't have a place to go, stay here in Mahjong for the time being. Du Zhengyi said.
Maybe it was because he didn't want to see Roach's expression, and he said, "Mahjong is a good teacher, but sometimes he has a bad brain, so don't care about his suspicion of you." He will still teach you a lot of knowledge about the mind mage, and when you can better adapt to this situation, you can go wherever you want. ”
Roach pondered for a moment and tried to say, "My dad said you need a high-level mind mage."
"First of all, you're not even a junior mind mage." Du Zhengyi said.
Roach's face pulled down.
"Secondly, I like to be alone and don't like teaming." Du Zhengyi said.
Guan Xinyue was startled by the sound of Luo Qi slamming on the door.
"What are you doing?" Mahjong looked back at him inexplicably, "My door is also an antique, and you will lose money if it is broken." Do you have money now? ”
"I've never seen a mage as unsociable as him!" Rocky said exasperatedly.
"Hey, hey." Mahjong gloated, "Honestly, have you ever seen a gregarious mage?" Being unsociable is one of the reasons why we can't develop as human beings. ”
