Chapter 537 The word love is difficult to understand
After the words fell, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Contrary to the imagined feeling of relief, after actually saying such unspeakable things, the situation became a little difficult to end.
Su Chengyi felt that the roots of his ears might be a little red and hot at this moment.
It feels like I got into trouble when I was a child and it was revealed, and I was forced to confess the crime in front of my elders.
I vaguely remember that when I was eight or nine years old, I once accidentally broke my grandfather’s favorite antique vase. Its scientific name is the Blue and White Eight Treasures Pattern Double-Eared Baoyue Vase. You can tell a clue from the length of the name. This thing must be very special. expensive.
How expensive is it? It's probably so expensive that you can't even buy it with all the New Year's money in this life.
As a result, Su Chengyi, who was still young, was shocked and turned around in the room, repeatedly engaging in ideological struggles.
To speak, or not to speak, that is the question.
Would you honestly admit your mistake and then be criticized by the whole family and lose the right to enter the collection room? Or should you just take a chance and wait as long as you can? Anyway, there are so many bottles and cans in the house, grandpa Maybe I have long forgotten this Laoshizi blue and white double-eared moon bottle with eight treasures pattern.
Which of these two options is more noble?
Obviously, Su Chengyi chose the latter.
He first sneaked out to find a tube of 502 glue and came back, and put on gloves to avoid being scratched by the debris.
Then I followed the techniques of the antique repairman on TV and started to assemble the broken pieces of porcelain piece by piece.
However, after working hard to glue the base, Su Chengyi fell into silence.
Although the shape was barely restored, the originally beautiful porcelain was now covered in mottled cracks, which made people feel increasingly uncomfortable.
It seems that some things can't be repaired, not even by the best repairman on TV.
Su Chengyi stared at the fragments for a while, and finally closed the lid of the 502 glue.
At this point, the last glimmer of hope has been shattered.
In the end, Su Chengyi had to carefully clean up the debris on the ground and try his best to restore the scene before the incident.
After finishing the work, I even took a long detour and threw the garbage into a large trash can three alleys away.
Of course, in the end, these so-called remedial measures and delaying plans were of no use. The matter was quickly exposed that night and did not even survive the next day.
At that time, all he could think about was that if it was over, he might have to kneel in the ancestral hall all night again.
At that time, Su Chengyi came to the study alone, stood in front of his grandfather and confessed, almost as uneasy as he felt now.
Maybe it was because Mr. Li and Grandpa were too deeply ingrained in his mind as elders, so Su Chengyi felt so ashamed for the first time since embarking on this road of no return.
The quiet and simple tea room now looked like a big iron pot, with hot oil sizzling loudly. He just wanted to stand up and walk around the room like he did when he was a child to relieve his anxiety.
Su Chengyi couldn't help but think back, what was grandpa's reaction when he found out he had broken the vase?
Yes, at that time, he did not lose his temper.
He just called him over with serious words and touched his head.
“As a man, if you make a mistake, you must bravely admit it, and there may be room for redress; wavering left and right, hesitating, is not only bloodless, but will only make you suffer in vain.”
Hearing his grandfather's rare gentle tone, Su Chengyi lowered his head in shame and realized his mistake deeply.
"I'm sorry, grandpa, that's your favorite vase. I'm afraid you'll be sad if you find out."
"It's just a vase, it's important to have my own grandson. Wait a minute, My favorite?”
“Yes, the blue and white eight-treasure-patterned two-eared moon bottle.”
“Which one did you break?” br>
"Yeah. Grandpa? Grandpa! Mom, go get the quick-relief pills!! Grandpa fainted from anger."
Although he was very angry, he forgave him easily in the end.
However, today is different from the past. With my grandfather’s upright temperament, if he knew that he had the audacity to do such a thing, he would probably be so angry that his beard would stand on end. .
Then he slaps the table and angrily scolds the unworthy descendants for the misfortune of the family. At this time, Su Zelang and Yang Liu are often cursed together.
After scolding him, he felt that the child could not survive without education and that he had to be treated with family methods - that is, waving a rolling pin to break his legs.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but cautiously raise his eyes to confirm that there were no souls floating around in the room.
I feel like I have seen Grandpa King Kong’s angry look at this moment.
"Chengyi, your grandpa has always been a free and easy-going person who doesn't care about others' opinions. He also did some rebellious and willful things when he was young. No matter what others said at that time, he would snort coldly and never Pay attention. "
After a long time, Mr. Li slowly said.
“Yes.”
Su Chengyi nodded.
“However, he also denounces those who are careless and greedy the most.”
Mr. Li sighed quietly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and tapped his palm.
“You shouldn’t do it, you shouldn’t do it, you can say anything, but you kid really shouldn’t do such a thing that plays with your sincerity.”
His tone was not blaming, but regret.
Su Chengyi lowered his head and looked at the swaying tree shadows outside the threshold, with no intention of defending himself.
“The most taboo thing about love affairs is lack of exclusiveness and lack of reciprocity.
A girl’s true heart is with you, but you can only give half of it to her. Can’t you Are people really that stupid to never realize it?”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Li sighed and tapped his head gently with the folding fan in his hand.
"You are a smart kid, why are you so emotionally confused? You have to break things off when things go wrong. If you are so disconnected, you will end up with a lose-lose outcome."
"Putting all this aside, if it's okay for ordinary girls, how can two girls like them be willing to compromise? Chengyi, this is a dead end from the beginning, do you really not understand?"
Li The old man has never been a good teacher, but now he really regards him as one of his own, so he can't help but talk about such a lot of truth.
"I understand."
Su Chengyi said slowly, his eyebrows lowered all the time, making it difficult for people to see what his expression was.
"But Mr. Li, my sincerity has been divided from the beginning. No matter what the outcome is in the future, that is all I can give, and the other half is always somewhere else."
Mr. Li originally prepared a series of rhetoric, hoping to persuade this young man to turn around and pay for his money. After all, if he made a decision the day earlier, the easier it would be to deal with the matter.
Needless to say about the two little girls, the fact that a piece of paper can cover the flame for so long only shows that they have been deceiving themselves so as to give more time to the center point of the scale.
“Have you ever seen a movie, the plot goes like this.
Two characters are asked to play a game, which is to cut off their own flesh and throw it on the scale within a time limit, who The one who cuts heavier meat will win, and the rest will die."
As Su Chengyi said this, he felt that Mr. Li's expression was a little complicated.
The old man was already very old and he was not interested in this kind of restricted bloody movies, so Su Chengyi had to find a way to make up for it.
“Well, it might be a little bloody, but it’s normal if you haven’t seen it.”
The clips he listed were from “Saw”, but I kind of forgot which one specifically. Yes, there are many similar perverted mini-game plots in it.
Su Chengyi initially watched it out of curiosity, but in fact he didn’t feel much about it. He has always had the ability to watch all restricted thrillers with a blank expression. "Well, I can probably imagine that scene."
Mr. Li nodded and tried his best to keep up with the young man's thinking.
“To describe it, I feel like I am standing in front of such a scale of flesh and blood.
If I have to cut off a certain part to survive, I would rather be the leftover The one who is not willing to give up no matter which part Loser."
Su Chengyi sighed softly, opened his palms and looked at the lines on his palms, and continued:
"But, you said, if this thing really cuts off a few pieces. It’s great that meat is so easy to handle.”
"."
Mr. Li took a sip of tea silently to hide his thoughts.
For such a bloody and terrifying scene, this guy spoke very lightly. It sounded like he was shouting to the boss at the vegetable market, "Hey, cut that steak into small pieces for me."
And he seemed to be serious and not kidding.
If this could solve the problem, he would probably be able to do it without even blinking.
All else aside, this is clearly not a healthy mentality.
Mr. Li frowned and said after careful consideration:
"Chengyi, when did you decide to walk all the way to the dark side?"
Su Chengyi listened. Asking this question, he shook his head.
“I can’t tell. If I have to say it, I think it started when I realized that I fell in love with two people.
I am really slow in this regard. I have always been a hindsight, so when I realized it, I had no choice.
Mr. Li, if it were you, what would you do? "
Su Chengyi threw this question back and wanted to know how normal people would deal with it.
"My words"
Mr. Li touched the beard on his chin and pondered A long while.
"When I was young, there were quite a few girls who were interested in me. However, it's hard not to realize that you like me, right? As the old saying goes, a girl's blush is worth a long dialogue."
"Isn't there an old saying that there is no wise man in love? What if it were such a coincidence that you fell in love with two people at the same time?"
Su Chengyi was unwilling to give up and imposed a setting.
"If this is the case, and I can't tell which one I like more, I will probably change the selection criterion from 'like' to 'need'."
Unexpectedly Faced with such a demanding problem, Mr. Li still answered with ease and quickly gave his solution.
"What does this mean?"
Su Chengyi frowned slightly.
"That is, I will think about, when everything else is equal, which of the two needs me more."
Mr. Li flicked his wrist and shook off the folding fan.
Written in cool cursive on the white fan is "The wild flowers are gradually charming the eyes", which comes from Bai Juyi's "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake".
I don’t know if it was carefully chosen to alert him.
Su Chengyi understood what he meant. Thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be the line of thinking that most people would adopt.
If you think about it carefully, the answer will be obvious.
Chu Qingmian’s world is very big. Even if Su Chengyi is missing, there are still many other important ties.
And Chen Jinzhi's world is very small. She is like a fluttering kite in this world, with the only silk thread involved in his hand.
But is this idea really fair to Chu Qingmian?
The matter has come to this, no matter which side you give up, the damage will be the same.
You fall in love with her because of her brightness, her frankness and gentleness towards everyone around her, and her burning love and curiosity for everything in the world.
However, this can also be a reason for you to give up on her.
Su Chengyi was silent for a while and then shook his head.
"I can't convince myself like this."
Looking at his expression, Mr. Li guessed that this road was probably not feasible, so he had no choice but to pat the folding fan and sigh.
“Before talking to you, I asked Xiao Zheng, this guy is obviously a grasshopper on a rope with you, he is so glib and refuses to explain anything.
I have talked with you now, and although the result is not satisfactory, it has allowed me to see your intentions."
Su Chengyi was stunned, but she didn't expect that Xiao Zheng was really loyal enough to achieve this step. .
Today I have to call Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng is a real man!
“Contrary to what I thought, you are not hesitating, but rather firm. Although this firmness is not a good thing, it cannot be called cowardice.
I I think even if your grandfather is alive, there is probably nothing he can do to you."
At this point, Mr. Li couldn't help but laugh.
Su Chengyi shook his head and replied seriously:
"If it were grandpa, he would have called both of them over. He would have made a sincere apology as an elder, then hung me upside down and whipped me severely with a cane in a 360-degree rotation."
Thinking of the glaring look of his old friend, Mr. Li looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, nodding approvingly:
"You have thought of a good way for me. Okay, In this case, I will clean up the house for Zhiyuan!"
Mr. Li rolled up his sleeves and pretended to teach him a lesson.
Of course Su Chengyi knew that Mr. Li would not be so violent, so he nodded and let him do whatever he wanted.
In the end, Mr. Li just tapped his left and right shoulders with a fan, and then spoke again:
"Since you choose to take this path, you will face many problems. The Chu family is currently protecting I am waiting for you, and when the matter is exposed, I am afraid that I will hang you at the gate of the city wall for three days.
Besides, the Hou family has always been eyeing you, so you must be more careful in your daily behavior." br>
Su Chengyi nodded, and just as he was about to answer yes, Mr. Li continued slowly:
"However, these questions are not problems. Although I told you to be careful, I don't mean What do you mean by being timid?
Regardless of whether you are Zhi Jinchen or Su Chengyi, you must treat the suspicion of others like a will-o'-the-wisp and go boldly on your way at night.
And just remember, I will protect the traitors and bullies, and your grandpa will protect the monsters and monsters. "
Mr. Li said these words as calmly as ever, but there is no need to say too much about the weight of them.
Su Chengyi thought of a lot of words, but felt they were too light, so in the end he just
After nodding his head, Mr. Li sighed deeply and looked out the window at the setting sun.
"It's just that everything else in this world is easy to deal with. Only the word love is difficult to understand. You will understand it in the future."
