Chapter 98 Talking about an important event in life
Chapter 98 Talking about an important event in life
It’s midsummer, but it’s not Chinese Valentine’s Day.
No matter how beautiful the moonlight is, it is just one of the countless ordinary nights in the world.
Lin Wanyi thought, if she was still the same person as before, and had not taken that step forward in the wind and snow of Cangshan Mountain, and had regained her past pride and persistence, she would definitely not have said what she had just said, right?
The secret in the words finally became a secret.
Maybe she won't get what she wants tonight, because even she herself can't really imagine what it would be like, but isn't it important to take this step and fulfill what she said?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyi bit her lower lip, wondering why she was so stupid as to make such an agreement?
Then she felt even more uneasy, and thought that everything that happened tonight was really unreasonable. How could someone be like her, rushing to speak for a long time without giving others room to interrupt, and then throwing the questions to the other party in the end?
If she were Gu Zhuo, what would she say at this time?
You can't just say I think you're bad, right?
That's too direct.
Or... he can only say that you are actually a very good girl, but I just don’t like you?
The more Lin Wanyi thought about it, the more regretful she felt. Her eyelids drooped slightly, filled with anxiety.
At this moment, Gu Zhuo's voice finally rang out.
“I don’t think that’s the crux of the matter.”
He looked at Lin Wanyi seriously and said, "What I mean is that liking you has nothing to do with how I feel about you. This should only be a secondary point."
Lin Wanyi was slightly startled and asked blankly: "What do you mean?"
“I don’t really understand it, but I think it should be like this.”
Gu Zhuo said honestly: "But I don't have any experience in this area, and my idea is likely wrong."
Lin Wanyi didn't know what to say.
But she liked the words "no experience" and was very satisfied with it.
Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I think there are a lot of things to talk about here. Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk? After all, the more you argue, the clearer the truth will be."
Lin Wanyi remained silent, thinking, do I have to invite you to my room, then raise a glass to the bright moon, and we can drink together and talk about our love?
Even now she couldn't imagine such an outrageous scene.
Especially at this moment when she realized that she could get drunk easily.
“Are there many people going through this side door?”
"just me."
"Then stay here."
"……it is good."
As he spoke, Gu Zhuo let the waiting carriage leave first, then called on the night breeze to sweep away the dust on the stone steps and sat down directly.
Lin Wanyi was never pretentious in this regard. She simply straightened her dress and sat down naturally.
"and then?"
She asked, "What do you think is the main part of liking this?"
"experience."
Gu Zhuo said seriously: "To be more precise, it is the time that two people experienced together."
Lin Wanyi's eyes suddenly brightened, just like the moonlight tonight.
She said seriously: "I think the two words you said make sense, please continue."
Gu Zhuo said: "Back to the first sentence, my opinion of you is not important, because no matter your appearance, temperament or any other realm talent, in my opinion, it is just an opportunity for me to contact you, or an inducement?"
Lin Wanyi understood and summarized for him: "So your opinion is that those can be the reasons for liking someone, but they cannot be the reason for liking someone."
Gu Zhuo said: "That's right."
After a moment of silence, Lin Wanyi suddenly shook her head.
"Isn't this wrong?"
"It's not wrong, it's just that an idea suddenly popped into my mind."
"what idea?"
"If someone else said this, I would think that person was using this to emphasize the purity of his or her mind, and it was not really the case. But when you said it, I think it was right."
"why?"
"Why else? Of course it's because you are good-looking, have extraordinary talents, and don't have any major problems with your personality, so you have the right to not care about these things. After all, no one is better than you."
This statement is very honest and true.
Gu Zhuo thought about it seriously and found that it might be the case.
He added: "That proves that I am not disturbed by external things."
Lin Wanyi said unhappily, "If you ignore Hong Chen, it's probably because Hong Chen is not popular enough."
Gu Zhuo turned his head and looked at her face seriously.
Lin Wanyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Zhuo said: "Look at you."
Lin Wanyi thought, how could I not know that you are looking at me?
"Okay, you don't have to say anything next."
"Ok?"
"Because I know I'm very good-looking."
Gu Zhuo burst out laughing.
Lin Wanyi thought, am I not good-looking? She asked expressionlessly, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Zhuo looked at her and still said nothing.
Lin Wanyi then remembered that she had told someone to shut up. She was speechless and then felt ashamed and angry.
Then she changed the subject very abruptly: "I agree with your specific views on the word 'like'. The time we spend together is the reason for liking each other, so what should we talk about next?"
Gu Zhuo was no longer silent and said, "Let's get back to the topic."
Lin Wanyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What is the original story?"
Gu Zhuo said: "Now that we have determined the reasons for falling in love with someone, the next thing we need to do is to find out whether such reasons exist, so as to conduct a more in-depth discussion."
Lin Wanyi felt that this conversation was increasingly strange. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "If this is the criterion for judgment, assuming that you have such a reason and I don't, then can we not continue the conversation?"
Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "That's indeed the truth." "I don't think this is reasonable."
Lin Wanyi shook her head slightly and said, "There should be a blank area between liking someone and disliking someone. This is the position of those who have not yet completely liked each other."
Gu Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "You are right."
Hearing this, Lin Wanyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous.
Suddenly the wind started blowing.
The dim light from the lantern became disordered, and the girl's black hair cascading over her shoulders fluttered lightly, reflecting the shape of the wind.
I don't know why, but this wind has an inexplicable sense of joy.
"so……"
Gu Zhuo turned his head, looked at Lin Wanyi's slightly red cheeks hidden by her black hair, and asked, "What are you thinking now?"
Lin Wanyi understood what this question was about.
Liking has been given a clear definition. Maybe this definition is not necessarily correct, but at least it is recognized by them at the moment without any disagreement.
So, taking this liking as a premise, it is natural to once again confirm and reflect on what you think and what you want.
This is also a way of practicing.
Is it amazing to use spiritual practice to solve the major issues in life, or is it foolish?
Lin Wanyi thought about these endless things, all the past experiences with Gu Zhuo, and things that she didn't even know what she was thinking about. Finally, she asked, "What about you? What are your thoughts?"
Gu Zhuo said: "I was thinking about the word 'like'."
Having said this, Lin Wanyi suddenly realized that she had been missing something.
Since they met, they have chatted and taken walks together.
But we never really talked about the things we liked.
She looked at Gu Zhuo and asked curiously, "What do you like?"
Gu Zhuo said without thinking, "Eternal Life."
Lin Wanyi couldn't help rolling her eyes and said in annoyance, "Who wouldn't like this?"
Then she sighed, hugged her knees with her hands and buried her head in them.
Gu Zhuo asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Wanyi's voice sounded muffled.
"After hearing what you said, I'm starting to doubt myself. It's unreasonable to doubt my love for you, because there really isn't any unforgettable memory between you and me, not even a second-rate experience."
She said: "If I hadn't looked in the mirror often to make sure I was beautiful, I would have thought I was attracted to you."
Gu Zhuo comforted her, "I said before that I have no experience in this area, so you don't have to take my words too seriously."
Lin Wanyi raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Does that mean I have experience?"
There is a sense of gloom in this sentence.
For the first time tonight, Gu Zhuo was speechless.
"to be honest……"
Lin Wanyi sighed and said, "Before I opened my mouth, I thought I would be rejected by you tonight. You would say that I am a very good girl, but you really have no interest in me and just treat me as a friend... But I never thought that you would discuss the matter of liking someone with me for no apparent reason, and I have to admit that what you said makes sense. At least at this moment, I agree with you."
"Don't speak yet."
She glanced at Gu Zhuo and continued, "I forgot where I heard it, but it is said that the students living in the academy's dormitory always chat when the lights are turned off late at night. They don't talk about cultivation, but about who they like. I didn't feel anything when you started talking, but the more I listened, the weirder it felt. It was like you were advising me to think twice before I acted, and not to let myself fall in love with someone... But I don't think you really meant that. With your personality, you would never be soft-hearted when you should refuse."
Gu Zhuo said: "No."
Lin Wanyi looked into his eyes and said, "This is really strange."
Gu Zhuo said: "It seems so."
"first."
Lin Wanyi lowered her eyelids and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but until this moment, I still don't regret telling you that I love you tonight."
Gu Zhuo said: "Yeah."
"Secondly."
Lin Wanyi raised her head, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and said, "I think I can't let this incident tonight become like what I just said, and become an interesting night talk among friends."
When she said this, her tone was light, yet firm.
Gu Zhuo didn't understand what he meant.
But the next moment, he understood.
Lin Wanyi turned around, supported herself with her hands, and kissed him directly on the face.
Then, the girl lifted up her skirt slightly as quickly as possible, stood up, pushed open the side door, rushed in, and then closed the door.
boom!
It was like a loud bang like a door slamming.
Gu Zhuo remained silent in front of the door.
I don't know how long it took, but the door opened a tiny gap.
A calm voice followed.
"Why are you still sitting here?"
Gu Zhuo came to his senses, sighed, and asked speechlessly: "Then why do you stand behind the door and don't leave?"
Lin Wanyi stopped talking.
After a moment, she forced herself to explain, "I was afraid it would rain and leave you here. After all, you don't have an umbrella now, and it's late at night, so I have to lend you an umbrella..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Wanyi was stunned.
As the words fell, the wind started again.
The night rain suddenly came.
There probably won't be a second chapter tonight because my work and rest schedule is a bit out of control. My mental state during the day is terrible and I have to make some adjustments.
