Real time PM13:57
City B, Dexin District, Mo Tan’s apartment< br>
“So…”
Mo Tan sat at the table, looking blankly at the little figure on the screen who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion watching cartoons with his back to him, and asked dumbly: "What is this?"
The man on the screen is no more than five years old at most, but he has thick black hair, dull eyes and a handsome appearance. The boy turned his head to look at the camera with a dull expression and said dryly: "Are you blind? Have you never seen "Big Mouth Gourd"?"
"First of all, I have never seen "Big Mouth Gourd". At most, I just know which characters are in it."
Mo Tan sighed and said helplessly: "It's not. This time, although I recognized that you were watching "Big Mouth Calabash", this did not conflict with the shock I felt at this moment. In other words, it was not so much that I was asking you 'what were you watching'? What I asked was, 'Why do you want to watch "Big Mouth"? I think even if you want to watch it, you should also watch "The Truman Show" ", "The Pianist", "The Godfather", "Oppenheimer" and the like, instead of... To be honest, I don't mean to disparage a certain work, but I really can't understand why you would watch it. "Big Mouth Gourd""
"I'm just a four-and-a-half-year-old kid."
The four-and-a-half-year-old child casually paused "Big Mouth Gourd", turned around and smiled at Mo Tanqian: "Can't you look at something that a four-and-a-half-year-old child should watch? As the saying goes, existence is reasonable, even if it is garbage, since it can exist In this world, it definitely has its meaning."
"You just said 'trash', right?"
"..."
"You. Did you say the word 'trash'?"
"..."
"You said it yourself!"
"Shut up, do you think I don't want to watch "The Grudge"?"
"Why "The Grudge"?"
< br>“Because Kayako is very beautiful, and he is also low-key and restrained, not as scheming as Sadako.”
“Sadako... where is the scheming?”
"Haven't you seen "The Ring"?"
"I have, but where is Sadako's scheming?"
"Don't you think she crawled out of the TV? Is that part particularly erotic? The curves of your body are clearly visible..."
"Stop it."
Mo Tan immediately raised his hand to interrupt the boy on the other side of the screen and said sternly: " I don’t think this is a topic suitable for a four-and-a-half-year-old to discuss, unless you just look four-and-a-half.”
"It's a pity."
The four-and-a-half-year-old shrugged and spread his hands and said: "I am a real four-and-a-half-year-old, so stop talking nonsense and talk about business."
Mo Tan thought for a while. , hesitated and said: "Then "Big Mouth Calabash"..."
"It has nothing to do with you! Although this thing is indeed not what I want to see, it has nothing to do with! You! Do you understand? ? ”
The boy shook his fist at the screen angrily and said through gritted teeth: “If you are not serious, I will hang up. I still haven’t watched more than 80 episodes of this cerebral palsy movie!”
Mo Tan nodded slightly and asked: "What, so "Crayon Shin-chan" is not good? That one is at least..."
Pa.
This time the other party hung up the video without hesitation, giving him no chance to continue talking.
‘Sorry, I won’t talk about this anymore. '
Mo Tan first quickly entered this sentence into the dialog box of the chat software, and then sent out the video invitation again, and five seconds later saw the boy's extremely gloomy face again. appear on the screen.
"I'm warning you, if you talk to me about useless things again, I promise to block you as soon as possible!"
The four-and-a-half-year-old glared at Mo Tan angrily and said through gritted teeth: "Speaking of which, It was obviously fine last year, but why did you suddenly lie out that I was not a normal person in the spring? You even threatened me to report the club, which scared me so much that I signed a bunch of contracts with you. Treaty of equality."
Mo Tan sighed and said seriously: "I have told you several times, those treaties are not binding, and you will not be ignored even if you ignore me. Report it, and to say the least, I really don’t believe your club can’t be opened because of being reported.”
“Maybe, but you are my guest, aren’t you?”
The boy shrugged and said calmly: "I am not one of those fringe people who tamper with the memories of ordinary people at the slightest disagreement. Although their starting point is indeed very good, they have indeed avoided a lot of trouble for most ordinary people. Necessary troubles, even working silently every moment for the public to live safely, but I always like to 'respect the fate of others', so... you are a guest when you come."
Mo Tan smiled and asked: "What about me? Am I a guest or a friend?"
"There are more than enough bad guests but not enough bad friends."
The boy frowned and said He said with a disgusted face: "My social circle is already very full. I just need to keep a distance from people like you who either cause trouble or are troubled by it, and maintain an indifferent relationship between gentlemen. At most, the situation is not too troublesome. I'll give you a backing, a helping hand or something."
"Thank you, that's enough."
Mo Tan nodded slightly, and the boy continued the conversation. After identifying it, he asked: "So, what is the situation now on Xueyin's side?"
The immature four-and-a-half-year-old glanced at him: "You won't ask yourself? I think she trusts you to the point of blindness, right? Ha, the lyrics are well written, Teacher M."
"I knew she wouldn't be able to hide this from you after she passed."
Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and looked around: "I just wrote something casually, mainly... Xueyin sings well.”
“There’s no need to belittle yourself. After all, I have to thank you. After all, I never knew whether I was a fan of Xueyin’s songs or teacher M’s lyrics. But now. I finally understand.”
The boy smacked his lips and sighed earnestly: “I am Xueyin’s dog——”
Mo Tan: "...Didn't you say you have someone you like?"
"Yes." The boy raised his eyes and looked at Mo Tan, and asked: "But I have someone I like." Is it not a conflict if I have a 'favorite idol'? No one stipulates that they must be the same person?"
"That's not a problem."
< br> Mo Tan, who couldn't refute for a while, pinched his eyebrows and brought the topic back: "I actually don't really want to have anything to do with her, so I contacted you directly. In that situation , I can’t just let her who has awakened her super power fend for herself, right? If she accidentally causes a commotion during the concert, Xue Yin will definitely be targeted by those fringe people she doesn’t like very much.”
"First of all, that's not called superpower, it's called symbolic power."
The boy raised his eyes and explained with a look of disgust: "Every marginalized person has his own unique symbolic power, from space distortion to distortion. The scrambled eggs become more delicious, which can be said to be completely random and bizarre. In addition, they will also use spiritual power to drive spells and talismans. You can understand the spells as magic in Western fantasy novels, and talismans. printed Words are derived from the Bagua Zhouyi and so on, and superpowers are the abilities of superpowers, do you understand?”
“I don’t understand”
Mo Tandian. He nodded and said honestly: "I understand now."
"It doesn't matter, there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing anyway, but it's useless if you know it."
The boy touched his chin and said in deep thought: "But I'd better say less, otherwise it will be bad to make you yearn too much for the circle under the table."
Mo Tanfeng said calmly. He smiled, shook his head and said, "I think my current life is exciting enough, and I'm pretty good at games."
"Games? You mean [Innocence Boundary]?"< br>
Boy scratching He scratched his head and said helplessly: "I can't get in, and the store is busy at night. Even if I could get in, I wouldn't have time to play. Alas, actually if I had the choice, I would also like to sleep and fly with Sister Qian in that game. Come on."
Mo Tan just smiled, then spread his hands and said: "Anyway, I have finished explaining the reason why I didn't go to Xue Yin to inquire directly. You should explain the situation to me, right? ”
"The situation is, as you wished, I found a mentor for her, a lazy female mouse."
The boy snapped his fingers (no sound) and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, Although the rat's strength is average, she is better because she has lived a long time, is well-informed, and is very capable of surviving. To be honest, with her hiding ability, she has to live for a long time. She didn’t offend someone she couldn’t offend before, and she didn’t end up being taken care of by me in the club. I heard that she had a very prestigious nickname back then, called Half Bodhisattva or something like that.”
< br>Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "So powerful?"
"That rat's Eight Diagrams belongs to Li, and the Five Elements belongs to Fire. . Li belongs to the heart, and the heart goes in and out all the time, like a rat; Li has two yangs, upper and lower, and is golden and white, so he is a golden-nosed and white-haired rat spirit, which is a rare thing. "
The four-and-a-half-year-old boy shook his head and recited a series of words that sounded eloquent and unclear. The old god said calmly: "In short, with her following, Xue Not only will Yin and the people around her not be noticed by those fringe people, but even ordinary monsters and ghosts will never be able to harm her. Even if there are enemies that the rat can't deal with, she will probably be able to buy enough time to wait. Those fringe people came to save lives and were much better than ordinary bodyguards wearing suits, sunglasses and double doors.”
Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "You should be able to ensure that... uh, Ms. Rat can take good care of Xue Yin, right?"
"Yes, if it were anyone else, I You may need to get some restraints, but that guy is totally fine."
The boy grinned and said casually: "After all, she does. He's a fan of Xueyin."
"Huh?"
"What? You look down on mice? Mouse, even an ordinary rat can understand and appreciate music, isn’t it normal to like Xueyin?”
"According to what you say, that's quite normal."
Mo Tan twitched the corners of his lips, and then gratefully said to the increasingly impatient boy on the other side of the screen: "Thank you this time. I owe you a favor."
"No, I can be considered a star-chasing success, just because Xue Yin can connect the trash can in the house. They all signed several names for me, and the favors have completely offset each other."
The boy waved his hands and said with disgust: "It's okay, I'll just hang up, I'm still here. I haven't finished watching more than ten episodes of "Big Mouth Calabash"."
"Yeah, you're busy. Goodbye."
"Haha, it's best not to see you."
......
Two minutes later
"Huh——"
Be careful to put too much energy on the table His laptop switched from [Secret Mode] to [Eat, Drink, and Have Fun Mode]. After lunch, Mo Tan suddenly had a 'conscience realization' and immediately found a human cub to ask about the specific situation of a popular idol. He breathed a sigh of relief. I finally felt relieved.
After all, Xueyin is not Mo Tan, and she is not Yi Dong, who probably has a tough background. Although she is a world-class idol, there is no guarantee that she will not encounter problems of one kind or another after awakening her abilities, so even though she has already done it It was a relatively safe arrangement, but he still wanted to confirm it again.
The person identified is none other than the current store manager of the [Second Class 2 Club], a kid who is only four and a half years old, has not been reborn, has not traveled through time, has not cheated, but has great hands and eyes.
Strictly speaking, Mo Tan and Xiao Gui have known each other for almost two years, but for a long time, he only regarded each other as a person with a business mind, rare but But it was not uncommon for little geniuses to be born until a few months ago , Mo Tan, who had already had a preliminary understanding of the world under the table, took him by surprise, and used big and small deceptions to reveal the fact that the boy was not just doing business for ordinary people, and then used the report of the club leader who had just weaned as a bargaining chip to get a favor from the other party. And it was used on Xueyin not long ago.
But as Mo Tan said, as he just said, he does not envy the wonderful lives of those 'supermen', nor is he interested in being below the surface as a mortal, so this contact is just Just asking about Yuyin's situation.
Then, just when Mo Tan was about to take advantage of this moment to do some general cleaning, his cell phone suddenly made a crisp noise, and the caller had the word 'Kang Lan' written on it.
"Hi."
Without any hesitation, Mo Tan immediately answered the phone and asked before Kang Lan spoke: "Xiaoyu is awake?"
"Uh..."< br>
Kang Lan on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "How did you know?"
"Didn't you and Wanyang say before that you were going to see Xiao Yu today? Calculate the time , should be at the medical school by now.”
Mo Tan smiled and asked: "So, how is Xiaoyu's situation?"
"Ha, this is a scoring angle..."
Classmate Xiaokang laughed dryly, with a complicated tone. He said: "You want to talk about his physical condition. In the words of Yuchen and her classmate, Xiaoyu is now very strong. It’s the same as a little calf, but you have to talk about the mental state... Really, Wan Yang and I always feel that if we don’t pay attention to Xiaoyu, we have to go straight to the rooftop and throw ourselves down and reincarnate again."
"Why do we have to reincarnate again. Reincarnation?”
“I guess I want to change my father.”
