Chapter 522: I don’t need to feel inferior if I like you
When vision is blocked by darkness, Chen Jinzhi’s voice sounds even more heart-pounding.
Su Chengyi nodded, hugged her slender waist and pressed her into his arms.
“I want to see the legendary beautiful female ghost with my own eyes.”
What he said sounded like a trapper in a storybook. Chen Jin subconsciously wanted to straighten up, but was stopped by him. He hugged his waist and couldn't move.
She had no choice but to maintain this posture and said in his ear:
"If you were placed in ancient times, you would be the kind of silly scholar who would be seduced and your life would be taken."
"Well, That's also possible."
Su Chengyi said seriously.
“How can a beautiful person be a monster?”
This is a sentence from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin". Wang Sheng met a beautiful woman on the road and took her home to be his concubine.
A Taoist priest told Wang Sheng that he was surrounded by evil spirits. Although Wang Sheng was confused, he did not believe it, so he thought to himself:
How could she be such a beautiful woman? Where's the demon? It must be a Taoist priest who wants to make money through this.
"After returning home, Wang Sheng saw with his own eyes a green-faced monster. He spread human skin on the couch and drew it with a colored pen. After completing the drawing, he put on the human skin and turned into a woman. "
"Wang Sheng was so frightened that he crawled to find the Taoist priest for help. The Taoist priest thought that the monster was pitiful and couldn't bear to take his life, so he gave him a whisk and let him hang on it. On the door.”
"I originally thought that the painted-skinned demon should retreat after seeing the whisk, but I didn't expect that she stood at the door for a long time before leaving bitterly.
When she came back, she became even more angry and even broke open Fu Chen broke into the house, cut open Wang Sheng's chest, and left with his heart."
Chen Jinzhi has watched the movie "Painted Skin" but not the original work.
Listening to what he said was very interesting, so he laughed softly, and his warm breath blew against his ear.
“What happens next?”
"After that, the Taoist priest came and killed the painted-skinned monster. She had changed her appearance. Wang Sheng's wife begged the Taoist priest to save Wang Sheng, but the Taoist priest said that her Taoist practices were not enough and asked her to ask someone else."
"That man was a dirty beggar. He was singing on the road with runny nose. When he saw Wang Sheng's wife, he shouted "Does the beauty love me?" and other words, and used the hand in his hand. He beat her with a dog stick and finally coughed up phlegm and asked her to eat it. "Did she eat it?"
Chen Jinzhi couldn't help but ask, it was not filmed in the movie. With such a heavyweight plot, most of the plot is just the intrigue between the painted monster and his first wife.
Su Chengyi nodded, said "hmm", and continued:
"Despite this, the beggar just laughed at her and left grandly. Wang Sheng's wife had no choice but to return home, hugging his body and crying bitterly.
At this time, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. As if something was stuck, she struggled to vomit it out, and it turned out to be a beating heart that fell into Wang Sheng's empty chest.
In this way, the body gradually gained warmth. , at dawn, Wang Sheng came back to life."
After telling the ending, Su Chengyi said with a smile:
"Excuse me, classmate Chen Jinzhi, what does this story tell us?"
Chen Jinzhi was silent for a long time thoughtfully, and replied:
"This story tells us that people who are greedy for beauty and half-hearted will not end well."
"Ahem!"
Su Chengyi didn't expect that she would get caught up in the story, so she choked and coughed.
Chen Jinzhi laughed and reached out to gently stroke his chest to calm him down.
"It's very immersive, isn't it?"
"How could that be?"
Su Chengyi regained his composure and forced his mouth to speak.
He freed up one hand to tuck the quilt on the side, and the palm he retracted smoothly covered her arm.
"Is the air conditioner over there turned on very low? Why are you so cold?"
"Fortunately, it's my own physical problem."
Chen Jinzhi raised his chin and leaned on his shoulder.
"I thought you two would chat until late at night."
Su Chengyi said casually, smelling the lemon scent of shampoo on her hair.
“She was very tired. She forced herself to chat with me for a while and then fell asleep. She was also talking about me in her dream.”
"What are you talking about?"
"Jinzhi Ouni, look, look, I'm just saying, there are so many handsome men!
You, just you! The one over there wearing a vacuum You guys in suits, come and dance a TroubleMaker for me~"
Chen Jinzhi imitated Quan Enyan perfectly, with a smile in his tone.
“.What kind of messy dream did this guy have?!”
Su Chengyi sighed.
"Until I heard you talk about the original work, I thought that just like the movie, the Painted Skin Demon truly loved Wang Sheng."
Chen Jinzhi brought the topic back to the story.
"Actually, there are thousands of people with different faces. You can interpret this story however you want."
Su Chengyi thought for a while and continued:
"You see, Wang Sheng got interested and hid the painted-skin demon in his study and often had trysts with her.
Before the Taoist priest discovered Wang Sheng's abnormality, the painted-skin demon had many opportunities to kill it. Eat his heart. But she never did so."
"It happened that after Wang Sheng knew her true identity, he decided to eat his heart. After placing it at the door and not allowing her to approach it, she stood there for a long time. In the end, she even broke the fly whisk and risked being killed by the Taoist priest to take Wang Sheng's life."
"Perhaps. She knew that the truth was revealed and Wang Sheng was afraid of her and would not be happy with her anymore, so she killed her. "
Su Chengyi reasoned.
"Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio·Painted Skin" is a remake of "The Overbearing Female Ghost Falls in Love with Me".
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Chen Jinzhi pondered for a long time, nodded, and the thin bones of her jaw rubbed against Su Chengyi's shoulder a few times.
Su Chengyi’s ears were a little itchy from her rubbing, and she said with a smile:
“I didn’t know that Wang Sheng’s wife was so affectionate that she wanted to save him, a heartless man, regardless of humiliation.
If it were me, I would just let him die. If I like beauties so much, I might as well go away from that painted-skinned demon and become a happy ghost couple in the underworld. "
Chen Jinzhi burst out laughing, then shook his head and said:
"You say this just because you are not Wang Sheng's wife, you are just lying on the wall eating melons. Just gossipy neighbors watching a show! "
"Then if you were Wang Sheng's wife, would you do the same thing as her? ”
Su Chengyi tilted his head, trying to see her current expression clearly.
However, the light in the room was too dark, and he could only hear Chen Jinzhi's soft breathing in the darkness.
After a long while, she whispered:
"Yes, of course I will do that."
Although her voice was soft, her tone was very firm, and Su Chengyi couldn't help but feel Startled slightly.
“Even if the beggar refuses to help in the final outcome, I will cut open my heart and give it to him.”
Chen Jinzhi said slowly.
She really thinks so, and if she were there, she would really do it.
She even preferred this bloody ending to the happy ending of being lost and reunited.
"Then you will become the most famous infatuated fool in storybooks and become a big joke throughout the ages."
Su Chengyi suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her face, and used a little strength with his fingers.
She couldn't see clearly in the dark, but given her physique, there must have been a red mark on her face.
Chen Jinzhi did not complain of pain, and his breathing remained steady.
Su Chengyi became a little upset for no reason, but he couldn't really do anything to her, so he had to sigh.
"However, I think I will not play the role of Wang Sheng's wife."
Chen Jinzhi suddenly grabbed his finger and said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Su Cheng responded in confusion.
“If I were the painted-skinned demon, and you returned home restlessly after being warned by the Taoist priest, and happened to see me showing my true face, an ugly monster with exposed fangs, what would you do? Do it? "
Chen Jinzhi asked.
This is a bit like the common death question in love, the kind that girlfriends often ask when they are unreasonable.
If I turned into a caterpillar, would you still love me?
If I turned into a spider and you turned into a mantis, would you break reproductive isolation to be with me?
If you had a girlfriend when you met me, would you break up with her for me?
And so on, one is more outrageous than the other.
Thinking about it this way, the question Chen Jinzhi asked is very reasonable!
And since after listening to this story, it is normal to have some associations.
Su Cheng realized this and responded with his own thoughts:
"I will let you put on the painting skin quickly."
"."
"Just kidding." At this critical moment, Su Chengyi still shivered before continuing:
“I would probably ask, do you have to harm people.”
“What if so?”
“How many people have you harmed so far?”
“This is how the little girl ate all the way.”
Chen Jinzhi said seriously.
“.It’s quite edible!”
Su Chengyi thought for a while, then asked from a different angle:
“Is it possible that you were thinking about it from the beginning? Do you want to eat me?”
“Of course~”
Chen Jinzhi was inexplicably amused by this question, and Su Chengyi also laughed contagiously. He heard her say again:
"I wanted to eat you, but you were too stupid and couldn't bear it."
Su Chengyi touched his heart and shook his head He said matter-of-factly:
"Miss Chen Jinzhi, if the monster said such things with a painting like yours, I guess no one would turn around and look for the Taoist priest."
"It's so bold."
Chen Jinzhi lightly bit down on his collarbone, and when she felt it could leave a shallow tooth mark, she stopped in time.
"Teacher Su thinks, if Hua Pi is not a demon that can harm people, would Mr. Wang have love for her? Or is it still just lust?"
She Changing the title back to "Teacher Su" means returning to the perspective of a bystander.
"Is this question covered in the modified movie version?"
Su Chengyi recalled the scattered fragments in his mind.
"It seems that he realized at the last moment that what he really loved was his first wife, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Jinzhi nodded.
"Although his wife was framed by Painting Skin as a monster responsible for many murders, he ultimately chose to live and die with her."
But she continued:
"Let's just discuss the characters in the original story."
Su Chengyi thought for a while, then followed her words and said:
"Maybe. Even if I just love her painting, It’s love after all. It’s possible to force yourself to ignore the fact that she is a demon because of her appearance.”
“What a fragile love.”
Chen Jinzhi. murmured.
"But it is."
She thought about it again and successfully convinced herself.
"Even if he truly falls in love with Huapi, he will eventually give up being with her because of her identity as a monster."
"How can you see that?"
< br>Su Chengyi asked rhetorically.
"Because he has a virtuous and kind-hearted wife and a rich family fortune. How could he give up everything he has because of his vague feelings for a monster?"
Chen Jinzhi said leisurely.
"Abandoning the painting skin, he can return to his original life without any impact.
If he insists on being with the painting skin, he will have to endure the cold eyes of the world. If it is serious, His wife and children were separated and he refused to recognize him. From then on, he had to hide and be cautious wherever he went.
He was afraid that a Taoist priest would suddenly appear from somewhere, and he would just draw his sword and execute his little monster justice.
You say, with so many troubles, who would choose the latter? "
"."
Su Chengyi felt for a moment that what she said seemed to make sense.
This is not the story of "The Legend of White Snake". Before Xu Xian fell in love with Bai Suzhen , he is just a little drug boy who does not have his first wife, let alone a happy and prosperous life
While he was thinking seriously, Chen Jinzhi leaned on his shoulder and sighed softly.
"What's wrong?"
Su Chengyi turned his head and looked at her through the dim light.
Chen Jinzhi was silent for a long time, and then said in a half-joking tone:
“If you think about it carefully, I seem to be a very troublesome person like that.”
"Why do you say that?"
Su Chengyi frowned and asked seriously.
At this moment, he even leaned forward and turned on the lamp on the bedside table. Chen Jinzhi was so shaken by the sudden light that he subconsciously closed his eyes.
Su Chengyi stretched out his hand to cover her eyebrows in time. Although his movements were gentle, his tone was still serious.
“Why do you suddenly say you are in trouble.”
As soon as he covered it with his hand, most of Chen Jinzhi's face was blocked, and he could only vaguely see the curve of the corners of her mouth.
"Teacher Su needs to take off the filter on me first, and then we can continue the discussion."
"Okay, take it off."
Su Chengyi blinked Blink to show cooperation.
"Teacher Su, think about it, I have a family of origin like that, and I have been in a lot of weird troubles since I was a child.
There is no good growing environment and no so-called family accumulation. "
"And, because of these reasons, of course my character will not be very good.
So far, many of my seemingly good qualities have been faked by me. "
"First of all, I am not good at communication, and I will only keep my thoughts in my heart. The side I show is exactly the side I want you to see. "
"And, for most things in this world, I actually don't care at all.
Sometimes, I myself am shocked by the indifference I reveal inadvertently. "
Speaking of this, Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and seemed to want to sigh again, but he held it back.
"There are very few things that interest me. Even eating and drinking are not interesting to me. Just a necessary burden to survive.
In other words, you will definitely have no appetite when eating with me. "
"In addition, I have recently felt that I often have some extreme thoughts.
Hmm... I originally wanted to give a proper example, but to avoid scaring you, I'll skip it.
If you think about it carefully, people who grew up in such an environment must have some psychological problems to some extent.
At the age when I need to establish three views, I am teaching myself. Maybe my personality is not very sound. "
This is becoming more and more exaggerated.
Su Chengyi put down the hand that was blocking her.
Chen Jinzhi opened his eyes, and his amber pupils looked particularly beautiful and fragile under the warm yellow light of the desk lamp.
“So, although you may like me, you think it would be good to fall in love with me.
But if we really want to talk about a marriage partner, someone who will live with me for a lifetime. , I am probably the type who will be directly excluded.”
She said this in a very serious and determined tone, which was obviously what she believed to be the truth.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed difficult to refute this sentence.
If we put aside the settings of dramas and novels and really talk about marriage partners, most people only want stable happiness.
There are not so many spectacular plots in reality. Ordinary people just want to live an ordinary life. However, Chen Jinzhi has always had a troubled physique and will obviously not be included in the list of "marriageable candidates".
So, when Chen Jinzhi said this, her expression was very calm. She had long accepted the reality.
Although this was not her fault, she had to bear the consequences.
“I already knew what you said before I fell in love with you.”
After a long silence, Su Chengyi composed himself and looked into her eyes.
"But I still fall in love with you, don't I?"
"That's what I say, but"
Su Chengyi didn't wait for her to finish her words, and turned to herself Zi Di continued:
“The story between us is not like a painting, because before I fell in love with you, I already knew that you were a little monster disguised as a human.”
"Besides, you're Iris. Do you know how many people are waiting in line to fall in love with you? I don't need to feel inferior if I like you."
Su Chengyi once again made a very inappropriate move.
Chen Jinzhi raised his head in his arms and cast a helpless look as if he was looking at a fool.
Su Chengyi took advantage of the situation and held her face and said seriously:
"I hope you understand that I like everything about you equally. And you have always been in my thoughts about the future. In the plan.”
