Chapter 499: Warm and cool as jade
Everyone was temporarily blocked by the power of this orange, but after Chu Qingmian drank half a cup of warm water, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered something. What a flashy point.
"Hey! Do you think it's possible that classmate Zou Lian's mother actually likes Aunt Yang?!"
"Pfft!!!"
Su Ze Before Lang could swallow his mouthful of water, he choked and coughed.
"."
"."
Su Chengyi touched his chin thoughtfully and looked at Zou Lian on the other side.
The latter also looked deep in thought, but obviously, like Su Chengyi, he was not very surprised by this.
“To be honest, I think it’s reasonable for you to say this.”
Zou Lian frowned and his tone was serious.
“It’s not strange to have a crush on your best friend who grew up together, right? Friendship has deteriorated or something.”
“At least it’s more reliable than falling in love at first sight with low-match Shen Teng.”
Su Chengyi 's comments hit the nail on the head.
Su Zelang, who was already deeply shocked, felt like someone had stabbed an arrow in his knee again.
"Oops!"
Chu Qingmian waved her hand to interrupt the two boys' "appearance bullying" towards the poor uncle. She thought for a while and decided to further explain her point of view.
"That's right. I'm not thinking about whether it's reliable or not. I'm judging it from the behavior of Aunt Zhong."
"If she did something like that If the big sacrifice was because she liked Uncle Su, then after the marriage between uncle and Aunt Yang broke up, she should strike while the iron is hot. That could be said to be the moment closest to her goal. "
"But she doesn't seem to be at all. Without such thoughts, she just destroyed their marriage - at the cost of almost destroying her own life, and then left quietly, even contentedly
It's like she knew early on that what she really wanted would never be available. ”
Chu Qingmian is very good at telling stories and giving speeches. Her logical and clear explanations are really convincing.
And she is the only one present. As a girl, perhaps she is the only one who can understand such complex female psychology.
The other three men could only frown and listen.
Chu Qingmian tilted her head slightly. He looks like he is thinking very seriously
"Well, actually, what I just said is a bit one-sided. Maybe I can't simply replace this feeling with liking, because girls also have a very strong possessiveness in friendship.
That may not have anything to do with love, but Sometimes it is more extreme and stubborn than love."
"Do you have this mentality?"
Su Chengyi clicked his tongue and moved aside deliberately pretending to be cautious. .
“.No way!”
Chu Qingmian raised her eyebrows and gave him a faint look.
“This only happens to a few people. In reality, most of my friends are mentally healthy.
It’s just that if you have some personality disorders, when you encounter them, When faced with similar situations, the reaction will be even more extreme. .
Of course, I’m just guessing! The situation may be different!”
Chu Qingmian stuck out her tongue and realized later that she seemed to have pointed out something too special. Not thinking about the possibility of catching the horse, he hid behind Su Chengyi with some embarrassment.
"No, I think your guess is right."
Zou Lian shook his head, confirming her guess.
"However, maybe it has nothing to do with love. But the fact that the protagonist is Aunt Yang is almost a certainty.
In these years, I have never seen my mother mention or reveal it She has no feelings for Uncle Su.
But the photo with Aunt Yang is still in her room, and she even carefully keeps the props and costumes from the former dance troupe.”
"."
Su Zelang was silent for a while and took deep breaths for more than ten times before finally becoming a little more accepting of this possibility.
“But I really don’t think it’s love.”
Zou Lian shook his head solemnly and took a sip of beer to soothe his throat.
“I think people like my mother have deep feelings for the sisters they grew up with, but they also have strong jealousy.”
"In other words, I want you to be happy more than anyone else, but I can't accept that your happiness has nothing to do with me.
If things really come to this, then I will find a way to destroy your happiness. Happiness.
I lost you in exchange for losing all of this."
When Zou Lian said this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Perhaps it was the connection between mother and son. At this moment, he completely understood what his mother was thinking.
Love and hate are actually just a matter of difference.
“Women are so scary!”
Su Zelang felt a little out of breath, pulled off his tie irritably, and drank several sips of wine.
"Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to be afraid of her anymore. Her target is not you."
Su Chengyi said slowly.
"Joke! Why are you and I afraid of her?"
Su Zelang untied his tie and threw it off, sighing heavily.
"I wasn't even afraid of your grandpa back then!!"
"Are you really not afraid?"
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows, looking quite provocative.
".That's still a bit scary."
Su Zelang scratched his hair. Although he felt quite embarrassed, he still admitted honestly.
"No, son, you haven't seen your grandpa like that when he was a little younger. That good guy, with a glaring look like a monk! Who wouldn't tremble three times after seeing it?
< br>When I first met him, I thought he was some kind of social thug!"
He explained desperately, not wanting to be reduced to a coward in front of several juniors.
Su Cheng thought that there was some truth to that.
After all, as Huang Maozi, the ghost-fire battery car who kidnapped someone’s daughter, he would inevitably feel guilty and scared when he saw his father.
For a moment, Su Chengyi felt that he was being merciful if he didn't ride the battery car and turn the accelerator to full speed and send the daring Huang Mao Chuang flying out.
"Okay, I think."
Zou Lian stood up, straightened his waiter's vest, and tucked in the hem of his shirt again.
"Now that we have talked about the past, I won't bother you three any more and continue to sing. Goodbye."
"Ding Ding."
Just as he was about to leave, Su Chengyi He tapped the cup to show that he still had something to say.
Zou Lian had no choice but to turn around with gritted teeth.
“What else to do?!”
"Actually, the past is not a topic I want to talk to you about."
Su Chengyi spread his hands innocently and continued:
"It was you who led the topic there. ”
“.! ”
Zou Lian felt the bubbles of the beer he just drank rolling in his stomach.
If he could, he would like to vomit all over this man's clean and smooth white shirt.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
If the manager knew that he had done such a thing to a customer, he might be owed two thousand yuan on his salary slip at the end of the month after working so hard during this period.
“So what do you want to talk about?”
“I would rather know why you ran away from home.”
Su Chengyi picked up the cup and made a toasting gesture to him. Zou Lian felt that this was a naked provocation, but he still sat back on the sofa, clenched his fists and punched his thighs helplessly and furiously.
“Well, classmate Zou Lian. If you really, really don’t want to say it, that’s okay. But if you have difficulties in life, we can help.”
< br>Chu Qingmian poked Su Chengyi's waist and winked:
You can't do it forcefully! Isn’t this the same as interrogating a prisoner? Could you please be more tactful?
Su Chengyi rubbed his lower back and looked back as if nothing had happened:
You can only treat people like him with force.
Chu Qingmian blinked, suddenly feeling a little unable to refute.
Of course Zou Lian saw the two people flirting there.
I feel like I’ve been stuffed with dog food for no reason.
Just when his patience was about to reach its limit, Su Zelang on the other side spoke.
"That's right, you kid, you just get angry with adults. You can't live your life like this. If you are really tired and hungry and have something wrong with your body, what can you do?"< br>
He knocked the cup in his hand on the table and said seriously:
"It is their responsibility to raise you reasonably. Even if you are ready to leave the family, you don't have to stay here." You are still a student after all when you are forced to fend for yourself.”
Su Zelang’s words surprised Su Chengyi.
I originally thought that with his personality, he would give some unreasonable lectures like standing up and talking without hurting his back.
It seems that Su Zelang, as a father, has grown up a bit in these years, at least he is much more open-minded than when he was a child.
If Su Chengyi had run away from home as a child, he would have been scolded and put in solitary confinement.
Zou Lian lowered his head and was silent for a while. Not sure if he was a little touched by Su Zelang's words, he sighed heavily.
"I'm not lying. The reason for the quarrel is no different from adolescent rebellion. But this time, I suddenly felt that the quarrel was meaningless.
If she doesn't love you, what's the point of talking nonsense to her? She simply cannot understand your thoughts.
From a certain point of view, maybe she is right. For a child she doesn't love at all, providing food and clothing is already fulfilling her duty. "
Zou Lian raised his eyes and glanced at Su Chengyi, who frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.
"So, I think, if you really want to cut off this so-called The shadow of my childhood left me truly leaving this home that didn’t feel like home. I'm an adult and I can support myself.
Then, I also have the right to make a complete cut with the shadow that cannot be shaken off. ”
"."
Almost every sentence of Zou Lian's answer was unexpected by Su Chengyi, and he was obviously serious.
“Although I know that I am just an insignificant NPC, NPCs can also have their own ideas, and when necessary, they can give up their opinions.
Fucking ten After several years, I can't beat the hero, why can't I run away? If I don't fight, surrender."
Zou Lian raised his hands in a half-joking gesture of surrender.
Su Chengyi looked at his twinkling eyes and shook his head.
“There is no protagonist who is not the protagonist.”
He once thought he was getting a cannon fodder background for a passerby script. Who would have thought that he would suddenly get the golden finger of rebirth? ?
"It's almost done. I've long since reconciled with this fucked up world, okay? Don't look like you pity me."
Zou Lian made a sound, stood up and stretched his arms. Lazy back.
"I really have to go to work, you continue, I will deliver the employee benefits fruit plate later."
After saying this, he seemed to have been relieved of some heavy burden, and his steps became lighter. , and no longer seem to worry about the manager’s censure.
Su Chengyi looked at the bubbles of beer in the glass, feeling a little lost.
The person who broke the silence in this private room was Su Zelang. He slapped his thigh and remembered that there was still something important that he had not done.
“This was passed down from Chengyi’s grandma, and she said she would leave it to my grandson’s daughter-in-law. I thought it was almost time, so I brought it here today.”
"I haven't opened it and looked at it. His grandma said that if I dare to open it secretly and sell it for money, she will crawl out of the coffin and strangle me to death, this old lady!"
Speaking of this, Su Zelang He touched his neck with lingering fear, then turned it into a gesture of clasping his hands together in worship.
"Lafayette, you can see clearly, my son is handing everything over to your precious granddaughter-in-law."
Boss, why are you playing the same disc twice?
Su Chengyi looked at his familiar performance and felt more and more that the bad relationship between him and Yang Liu was difficult to clear.
What was a bit surprising was that although Miss Chu was so shy that her face turned red, she unexpectedly did not refuse. When she accepted the gift box, her bright eyes flashed with determination.
Su Chengyi originally thought that like Chen Jinzhi, she would feel that this gift was too heavy.
It seems that the coward Chu Qingmian still has some bold moments.
“Eh.”
Su Chengyi clasped her finger in a serious manner and said seriously:
"We don't have a seven-day no-questions-asked return policy here, dear, you can't return it after it's been opened."
"I don't want to return it!"
Chu Qingmian is like a sly person. Like a small fish, he withdrew his hand and held the gift box with a crooked smile.
Obviously I could buy ten or eight of the knick-knacks I picked out from my basement, but I still acted like a money-lover.
Su Chengyi looked at the dimples at the corners of her mouth and was secretly amused.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Chu, take it off quickly!"
Su Zelang was afraid that Chu Qingmian, the daughter-in-law-to-be, would regret it, and at the same time he was also curious about what kind of treasure was inside, so he rubbed his hands to urge her.
Chu Qingmian hugged the gift box, closed her eyes and muttered:
"Hello, grandma, my name is Chu Qingmian, I am eighteen years old this year! I will definitely do a good job. Regarding your gift, I don’t know if you have any special requirements for your granddaughter-in-law, but I will work very hard to make it happen!
I hope you live a safe and happy life there, and I also hope you will bless Su Chengyi well! Good health”
She said these silly words so sincerely that Su Chengyi was a little moved when she heard it, as if something in her heart collapsed.
Not wanting to lose his composure in front of Su Zelang, he had no choice but to reach out and pinch Chu Qingmian's face to interrupt her.
"Okay, you think this is a wishing tree."
"Okay, okay."
A series of links ended, and Chu Qingmian finally started to unpack the box .
The exquisite wooden box is divided into two layers, inside and outside, and can be opened only by rotating it to a suitable angle.
Lying in the layers of mechanisms is an emerald Buddha, with bright color and exquisite workmanship, surrounded by a red rope and jade belt.
The image is of a very classic Maitreya Buddha, with a kind face, always smiling, and a big belly.
On the golden satin used as a bedding underneath are handwritten Sanskrit scriptures, indicating that this is an item that has been consecrated by a certain eminent monk.
Although this is a real good thing, from Chu Qingmian's perspective, it is probably no more than a lollipop, but she is a little timid at the moment and does not dare to use it. Take it out and look at it carefully.
Su Zelang didn't dare to take it, he was still thinking about the old lady's curse.
So Su Chengyi had no choice but to take out the Jade Buddha. It felt warm and cool in his palm. He looked at it and motioned for Chu Qingmian to come closer.
"Put it on and take a look."
Chu Qingmian was very brave just now, but now she became a little nervous, her curled eyelashes shaking like butterfly wings.
Su Chengyi smelled the fruity fragrance coming from her neck and tied the rope buckle slowly.
The length is just right, and the jade Buddha hangs down on her collarbone. It makes people feel that her bones and skin also have a warm and cool texture like jade.
“It’s very beautiful.”
Su Chengyi laughed inexplicably.
Chu Qingmian exhaled quietly and raised her eyes to look at him.
“Really?”
"Hmm."
"Suitable?"
"Suitable."
"Super, super suitable?"
"Super, super suitable."
