Chapter 1748: Being persuasive
The small group of 'second generation' using Yidong's parents as the medium is the first group that Mo Tan joins. Although in principle he is actually an outsider, he inexplicably joins the group from the second generation. From one day on, I blended in with those of my age. people, and had a lot of interactions with them in the days that followed. As if driven by some kind of coercive force, a group of people who, although not exactly like-minded, got along very well and could play together became a group. Friends, very good friends.
Kang Lan, Wan Yang, Cui Xiaoyu, Yuchen, Ji Xiaoge, Ji Xiaodao, and now Yidong's cousin Gu Yanyue and Yuchen's best friend Nangong Na are added to this free and unorganized small group. Mo Tan felt very comfortable, so no matter who fell in love with him, he never thought of drawing a clear line with these people.
He could not forget the first time he celebrated the New Year lively with those people, gossiping, playing board games until dawn, and happily saying good morning to each other in the early morning light.
He could not forget the shock when a bunch of people ran into the apartment on his birthday. It was a very precious memory to him that would never fade no matter how long it took.
It is true that Mo Tan is different. His mental state is destined to make him much more mature than his peers, and he is destined to be alienated from most people, but this does not mean that he likes to be alone.
Perhaps when under the 'Chaotic Neutral' personality, he would just laugh it off with contempt and regard these unfair treatments as fun and jokes, but in the other two-thirds of the time, Mo Tan I often fantasize about whether I can have a normal life if I am a normal person, and I also wonder about what the so-called normal life will be like.
He did not complain about others, nor did he give up on himself, but he could not always maintain a strong and almost indifferent attitude, nor did he give up his yearning for 'everyday life'.
It is true that until now he has never had the 'daily life' that is ordinary to countless people, but he has to admit that since attending that small gathering with Yi Dong, his life has changed a lot. He has undergone tremendous changes, such as gaining a group of friends that are essential for normal people.
It is not the extraordinary best friend like Ito who can hand over everything to the other party at any time, not the accomplice who is both enemy and friend like Futaba, not the relationship between boss and regular customer with the Rice brothers, but the ability to work together Ordinary good friends who play around casually, bring each other breakfast during class, go out to play together during holidays, and come up with clever ideas when in trouble.
To be honest, this small group is like a gift from fate to Mo Tan.
But in fact, there were two people who were more touched than Mo Tan.
Of course it won’t be Kang Lan, who is like a social butterfly, it won’t be Wan Yang, a sunny and handsome man who can tell at a glance that he has excellent staff, and he won’t be the one who has a lot of like-minded people in the FFF group despite not being popular with women. Cui Xiaoyu, who advances and retreats together, will not be Yidong, who has a correct outlook on life without involving Mo Tan, Gu Xiaole, who is a social terrorist, and Yuchen He, who has already had a group of best friends. Nangong Na.
Yes, the two people who were more touched by this small group than Mo Tan were actually sisters Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao.
The reason is not difficult to guess. In the final analysis, it is the appearance of the former.
Although it has been mentioned many times, it still needs to be emphasized here. Ji Xiaoge's beauty is of an extraordinary level. In other words, it is more capable of causing others to commit crimes than the so-called 'beauties are a disaster'. .
And when in reality, after exhausting all kinds of efforts, she finally found a way to neutralize this influence, her father cut her hair short and achieved an effect similar to [leaving the world and being independent]. This 'happiness' The proportion of 'troubles' in 'troubles' is much higher than that of 'happiness'.
It can only be said that fortunately the father of the Ji sisters found a way before Ji Xiaoge was still a child, otherwise no matter how much the two parents loved her and wanted her to live a happy and ordinary life like an ordinary girl In my lifetime, I have to give her a grounding order before I come up with an idea.
Occasionally, it is easy to deal with one or two people with ulterior motives, but if it causes a large-scale commotion, then the fault does not lie with those who caused the commotion, but with the source of the commotion.
Even Ji's father, who has almost no so-called moral concepts, knows this.
Fortunately, with the unremitting efforts of her parents and the assistance of various forces, Ji Xiaoge finally obtained a semi-permanent interference halo that would not attract the attention of 'karma' in reality, just like it would take effect as long as she wears hair accessories. [Left from the world and independent] Talent is the same. In reality, as long as Ji Xiaoge's hair does not grow past her shoulders, the 'world' will interfere with her influence and forcibly limit her charm to a range that is barely acceptable to society. inside.
In the words of Cui Xiaoyu's great grandfather, only the pervert who can cut off a part of the concept of 'karma' can single-handedly change the effective range of the [earth and moon system] ]'s interference spell is applied to someone, and it can also ensure that oneself and the other party will not be directly obliterated by karma.
Of course, that person also paid a price for it - a full ten years of life.
Yes, in order for her daughter to live like a normal person, Ji Wutong gave up ten years of his life without hesitation and forcibly erased the almost inexcusable 'retribution'. This shows that for this world , what a hassle it is to keep him alive.
In short, when Ji Wutong himself didn't care about the loss of his lifespan and hid it from his wife, he only heard that the former was going to die ten years early and his hair turned gray almost overnight. The Lord of the Underworld's Wounded World is thus completed.
And Ji Xiaoge also unknowingly turned into an 'ordinary' beautiful girl who was stuck between normal and extraneous.
However, at that time, she was self-aware and knew that she was good-looking and that she might be in trouble because of her good looks. She had already begun to obey her parents and strictly control her social circle.
As for Ji Xiaodao...
Let's put it this way, she was much precocious than her sister and knew that something was wrong since she was a child, so she paid great attention to protecting her sister when they were still in the stage of young girls. In this way, unlike Ji Xiaoge, the client, Ji Xiaodao was very keen to capture the changes in her sister during that time. Although she did not understand the principle and did not have the desire to know the truth, she took the initiative from then on. I learned from my mother how to cut my sister’s hair.
In short, whether it is the childhood, lolita, or girlhood, the younger sister who is cold and taciturn has always been protecting her older sister and blocking any possible threats, whether explicit or covert. , although she often goes too far, she still protects Ji Xiaoge very well.
Because of this, whether it is a special sister or a sister who protects her, the two of them can only accompany each other in most situations. Although Ji Xiaoge has always been very popular because of their lovable relationship no matter what. She is welcome, but there are very few people who can be called friends. The girls' awe and appreciation for her are greater than friendship. It is difficult for the boys not to have inappropriate thoughts, and this is not their fault, of course. , Ji Xiaodao, who often teaches them a lesson, is not wrong either.
To sum up, neither Ji Xiaoge nor Ji Xiaodao have had 'ordinary friends' in the conventional sense for a long time. If you just look at it, I would be satisfied with someone like Yi Dong. In every aspect of the word 'friend', Mo Tan is stronger than the two sisters.
So this small group touched the two of them no less than Mo Tan, or even more.
Just as Yi Dong had already made up his mind before setting off, if any 'rich second generation' at that party looked down on Mo Tan, he would immediately slam the door and leave. Although the Ji sisters listened to their mother (father) She might have been ignored by her sister) and rushed to the party, but Ji Xiaodao had already thought about it. If anyone had bad thoughts about her sister or tried to do something, he would immediately drag her and slam the door and leave. Obviously, both Yi Dong and Ji Xiaodao have subconsciously developed some unobjective prejudices against those 'second generations' who are from better-off families like themselves. It can be seen that the 'grassroots counterattack against the playboy villain' bridge Duan has a great influence on people.
But in the end, none of what Yi Dong and Ji Xiaodao worried about happened.
First of all, although we are all young people with distinctive personalities, they are obviously highly educated and above average in quality. In addition, they have the common theme of [The Boundary of Innocence]. topic, so in the blink of an eye, he and Mo Tan got together, and no one looked down on this guy whose family background was by no means well-off.
As for Ji Xiaoge, although everyone looked at the girl twice because of her stunning appearance, including Kang Lan, who was obviously a little tempted at first, there was no sign of anything. People did something dishonorable. The only person who directly exchanged contact information with Ji Xiaoge that day was fellow girl Yu Chen, and it was Ji Xiaoge who took the initiative.
No one concealed their admiration and admiration for Ji Xiaoge’s beauty, but no one rationally evaporated. They wanted to have a vigorous love affair with Ji Xiaoge on the spot, including missing the party and arriving later. Including Cui Xiaoyu from City B, no one was trying to show off. Instead, they said things like "Xiao Ge is a bit too nice," which made the two sisters feel less annoying.
In this way, Mo Tan and the Ji sisters, who had never been very gregarious, finally gained a group of normal friends and experienced what it means to be in a normal social circle.
In the process, the password lock of Motan's apartment gained a lot of permissions, and for the first time, Ji Xiaoge went shopping with a boy without his father and sister (props for club activities, Cui Xiaoyu and Wan Yang was caught as a young man), and Ji Xiaodao occasionally made one or two sharp jokes. The three of them have changed a lot in their daily lives.
But——
No matter Mo Tan, Yi Dong, Kang Lan, Wan Yang or Cui Xiaoyu in reality, Ji Xiaoge could not let Ji Xiaoge deal with the problem of 'getting along with boys'. Huge progress has been made in this regard. Note that what is mentioned here is just 'getting along with boys', the kind of pure friendship.
Yes, even though these guys are very qualified male friends, they only interact with each other frequently when they get together. Since the college is very scattered, even if they already like to get together. We get together, and we only get together once or twice a week at most when there are no classes or on weekends, and each time there are fewer people.
Ji Xiaoge has always known how to be content, and feels that the current social environment is already very good. When Ji Xiaodao mentioned his sister, his first reaction was not to have a distracted expression or wandering eyes, but She held her stomach and looked livid and then breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that even a somewhat frivolous person like Xiaokang would never bother her sister again.
However, while he was relieved, Ji Xiaodao still maintained a high intensity of tension on the other hand. For no other reason than the 'Mo' in [The Boundary of Innocence] was too close to his sister. .
One thing to say, Ji Xiaodao wouldn’t be so worried if this was another game, but she knew that [Innocence Boundary] had almost achieved the ultimate in realism, and she knew very well that a The man that my sister often mentions inadvertently is a huge hidden danger.
It is no exaggeration to say that the guy named 'Mo' in the game is the only male of the same age who has spent more than 10 minutes with Ji Xiaoge day and night in the past 20 years. Although this wording sounds obedient, but This is actually what happened.
The facts also proved that although Ji Xiaoge repeatedly told his sister not to think too much, the latter's worries were not groundless.
Fortunately, although she guessed her sister's change of mood, she did not guess another person who, in her opinion, should die ten thousand times.
"In my opinion, the reason why you have this kind of feeling may just be because you gradually feel that I have become a somewhat special person to you."
Mo Tan organized the words while speaking. He said carefully, "Although this statement sounds a bit strange, but In fact, it is very likely to happen, because without reference and comparison, there will be no identification."
Ji Xiaoge thought for a while, then hit Mo Tan's head hard: "Say something and I can listen. I understand.”
“Just like what you did just now. , if I am the only person of the same age who is familiar with you, maybe it will give you the illusion that I am special, because you will not just fuck other people’s heads.”
In short. After quickly sorting out the arguments, Mo Tan gradually calmed down and spoke. He said calmly: "To put it simply, if you have a hundred male friends with whom you have a good relationship, then you may really like the one who makes you feel the most special, but if you only have one that you can spend every day with, I play with male friends of the same age..."
He didn't continue, he just shrugged and said nothing.
Ji Xiaoge, on the other hand, pushed back Mo Tan's hunched shoulders and frowned: "You might as well say that if there is only one man and one woman left on this planet, even if they get married and have children and grow old together, it won't matter. It may not be true love.”
“That’s okay.”
“So what you mean is that I don’t actually fall in love with you, just because I know you better than others. So I have the illusion that I am attracted to you?”
“I just said that it is possible, and it is very likely.”
"Tsk, tsk, that's what I said, but why do I feel that... you talk so much, are you just afraid of being attracted to me?"
"..."
